20 Questions For You All for 9/29
I am sure there are some spoilers involved in the following 20 questions. Feel free to answer or not - some of them ARE rhetorical, after all...
1. Did some of the shared mind-melding into Johnuckanick affect Judd Winick when he actually explained why Jason Todd was able to steal the hubcaps off the Batmobile 20 years ago?
2. I enjoyed most of Vigilante #1, but seriously, did the prostitute REALLY have to say stuff like "Jew" instead of "You?" And "Tropple" instead of "Trouble"? Was that REALLY neccessary?
3. Did Marvel come out with Giant-Size X-Men #3 and #4 just so Daredevil: Father #1 and #2 wouldn't seem like such a long time between issues?
4. Since we know that Keith Giffen is not a good scripter, why was Drax #1 not bad?
5. Do you think all the "Oh man, we were so wrong to be such a-holes to Blue Beetle" stuff was always meant to occur?
6. And were we really supposed to be all, "Wow! Yeah! 'For Blue Beetle!!!'"?
7. Who did YOU think Sensor Girl was?
8. Do you think Bendis' eyes and elbows hurt after all the wink-winking and nudge-nudging in New Avengers #11?
9. Does Ultimate Moon Knight now have Legion's origin?
10. Anyone else pleased that Allan Heinberg is picking up on the "Really bad stepdad" storyline from Geoff Johns' Avengers run? Yeah, me neither.
11. Was there a worse ending to a run by a non-terrible writer than Geoff Johns' Avengers run?
12. Remember when Power Man showed up because he was pissed that Luke Cage took his name? Well, do you think that Mr. Zsasz will show up in Jack Cross?
13. When will we ever get the Spider-Man crossover that revisits the events of Spider-Man & Power Pack Against Child Abuse?!?!
14. After reading Hulk: Destruction #3, do you (like me) wish that Peter David never gets a chance to write the Justice League character Faith?
15. Have you ever started reading a pamphlet about the inner workings of the pornography industry and suddenly realize that you meant to read a comic about some British guy?
16. Do you think Luke Cage should keep the crowbar?
17. If I took a screen cap of my Justice League video game, would DC put it on the cover of JLA Classified?
18. How creepy was it in JLA #119 the way everyone was talking about John Stewart like he couldn't think for himself? "So it's settled, John will stay in the league." Is John saying, "I want to stay" really too much effort?
19. Oh, and how lame is it when I know that something big is coming at the end of JLA simply because the ending, up until that point, was way too nice?
20. Do you think Marvel just doesn't tell Black Widow 2 writer Richard K. Morgan what is going on in the Marvel Universe, or does he just not care?
That's it for me!!

On JLA 119:
I thought it was weird that everyone kept saying his full name. Even his buddy Hal, while talking to his teammates was like "John Stewart and I will take him to Oa" and such
Yeah, like he was their pet or something.
5. It was lame, but at the same time kind of funny. OH, IF ONLY WE HAD LISTENED TO THAT FAT GUY THAT NONE OF US LIKED AND WHO SUCKED.
6. I don't like that it's only cool to like Blue Beetle if Hal Jordan says so.
That aside, biggest Deus Ex Box ever, and why the Hell would Ted make such a thing? And mail it to himself? And why would Emo Booster...oh, forget it.
If the JLA hates each other SO MUCH, why were they all smiling and waving and hugging when they were breaking up?
Because they had to "lull" us into a false sense of security for the SHOCKING ENDING.
Yawn.
1. He WHAT?
4. Keith Giffen can be a good scripter when he wants to be. But I think he prefers that elliptical, obtuse dialogue that only guys like me enjoy.
5. No. But even Warren Ellis went back to Marvel, hat in hand.
6. No.
8. "Ha ha ha, it's ELEKTRA!!!" Uh, okay. That's actually a good idea.
10. Especially since a) Johns totally ignored Cassie's continuity, and b) which wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't done a story At the same time by Sean McKeever where she was the correct age.
11. probably.
12. No.
13. Indeed.
14. Wha?
15. Yeah, but I liked it the first time, when it was called Excalibur. And Dark Blue. And Red. And...
20. It's an Axel Alonso book. You do the math. On the other hand, I think this is somewhere between "Avengers Disassembled" and Secret War myself. I don't like what Morgan's doing to her, though.
