I loved Kingdom Come as a standalone series.... when they expanded it, it was bad news, IMO.

I really hate the character of Magog. Don't worry. That's all I'll say. I heard the joyous news. My only regret is Arsenal didn't get high and then beat him to death with a dead cat in an alley.

I liked In The Name of Gog. Lots of cool story bits and character moments. My favorite "new school" JSAer, Citizen Steel, has one of the most fist-pumping moments in recent DC memory in that story. I didn't like where the JSA went after the Black Adam/Isis story -- where the team split in two -- and considering that JSA All-Stars was cancelled, most readers agreed.

Yeah, that's about when I lost interest... The Isis story itself was really good... but I didn't love Black Adam going 100% evil (hopefully that was temporary).
I have the 1st trade from the reboot, but I actually never got through it... I just wasn't that exciting about a 'getting the band back together' story.

Perfect example of why DC are a bunch of fuckups...
Where the hell is my god damned Krypto vs. Dex-Starr fight. I'm getting tired of waiting...

I'm going to do a little advertising for two blogs I write here. mightymarvelreading.blogspot.com/On this one. I started with Fantastic Four #1 and have been reading it in as close to publishing order as I can. I just finished up March of 1963. I try and do two issues a week. longboxtales.blogspot.com/This is my whatever I feel like reading blog. I'm currently doing the War of the Green Lanterns. I do a Saturday Batman review. I haven't really fully realized what to do with this one. Anyways, check them out. Follow them and comment if you want. I'm just looking to get both out there a little more.

Cool stuff... do you actually own those comics?
OR are you reading the b&w trades or some crazy internet source?
(just curious)

I have a lot of the b&w trades, I used some torrents and when I get to the X-Men stuff, I actually own most of the issues but I won't be reading them. I also have several of the Masterworks hardcovers that I've picked up here and there over the years.

*nod* I was getting the B & W trades for a while, but more for the obscure titles than the 'main line' stuff... I always hope/plan that when my kids are grown I'll be able to spend money on old comics and buy the real ones I've always liked the concept of the Masterworks trades, but they'er a bit expensive for my taste. I'd really like to see them come out with the old stuff in affordable color trades... DC did it a bit with the 'Chronicles' ones, but that original Batman and Superman stuff is, well, goofy.

Just finished the second Victorian Undead series, Sherlock Holmes vs. Draucla. It was pretty good. The SH vs. Zombies (series) and SH vs. Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (one-shot) were pretty good as well.

That looks pretty cool... I'll have to see if I can get that some time.

Dark Horse has a Mr. Hyde miniseries coming out, where Hyde is called in as a consultant on the investigation of Jack The Ripper which looks pretty cool.

I bought Godzilla Kingdom of Monsters #1 on a whim today. I paid $3.99 for a book that literally took me 2 minutes to read. Fuck, IDW.
