Cass: Whenever I read a Johns book that doesn’t feature dismemberments, beheadings, or buckets of blood, I can tell he’s a pretty good writer. I just wish he wouldn’t lean toward the gore so much.

I’m also really loving the Wait What? podcasts on TheSavageCritic. The Geoff Johns one is pretty spot-on and most definitely worth a listen. I agree with its final analysis, which is basically that Johns is a fairly smart guy who takes a lot of flak on the Web (ahem, Mr. Burgas), but mainly because he sabotages himself in his presentation.

I also found The Hunter to be a bit of a letdown, not for Cooke’s adaptation though, despite the art being a bit muddy and confused in certain places. The story is just really trite. Almost every scene works to the sole aim of inciting a “Woah, badass!” response from the reader – he fucks his girlfriend HARD, he smokes cigarette with the filter OFF, etc etc – it just gets really tiresome, and as a result, I don’t care one lick for the character by the end of the book.

Note: Praising (feintly) the work of Geoff Johns and panning a Darwyn Cooke release all in one post, what Internet taboos will I break next? Will Justice League International come under fire? Will Rulk be declared the character find of 2008? Stay tuned!

Heh someone should do a book about a henchmen. Give Bob Agent of Hydra his own book….or something like that. Play it for laughs and would be gold. Sure would only last 12 issues but the lolz think of the lolz.

Let the cows get there own Jesus.

I think I can say without hyperbole that Abay’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula is the best webcomic ever.

I’ve also been digging the “Wait, What?” podcasts. They’ve got a good dynamic going on — and are coming at the material from a different perspective than I usually approach things, which is always good (in the sense that if I want to see material approached the way I would approach it, I’ll just read my own stuff…).
