Meh, I gave it its chance and they have done nothing to impress me with it. The only title I still read is Aquaman, but I might drop even that. All-Star Western was awesome, but it was taking them forever to tell the Hex story, so I stopped reading it. In fact, that is my biggest problem with the New 52.

Every story just kept going and going and going. What happened to the days when you could pick up a comic and just read a nice well written stand alone story that you did not have to read the previous issue nor the next issue just to enjoy? I don't mind a nice multipart story every now and then, but when it is every issue it gets annoying. What about telling the story through multiple issues over a period of time?

freakout117 10-12-2012 05:55 PM

So who is excited with the figures shown at NYCC?

I totally see where you are coming from. The Killing Joke is a great example. Yet I am only reading the "C list" characters stories [Swamp Thing, Animal Man, JLD, I,Vampire, ect]

Read Earth 2 though, I really recommend it.

Are you seriously telling me Snyder's Batman did nothing for you? It's the best book in the New 52. The recent issue #13 is among the best single issues of a comics I've read this year. Agree with Aquaman, though. Never thought I'd be looking forward to reading Aquaman over an Avengers or X-Men title but the stories have been that good. I also am enjoying Wonder Woman but am close to dropping GL and Action Comics since nothing of interest to me is happening in either.

That said, I would really welcome a New 52 Aquaman in this line....ah the hell with it, might as well complete the New 52 JL even though the book is AvX quality IMO.

Although that Savage Hawkman figure looks awesome to me. I want some versus pics of him next to my SDCC Uncanny X-Force Archangel!

Edit: I apologize for being a newb to DC figures....just realized this is the collector's club line and not the retail one.

Crazy Jetty 10-12-2012 09:59 PM

Hawkman isn't a cie.
In theory, he'll be available at retail.
Too bad you're so late to the game, you've missed some of the best figures Mattel has put out.

I read the first issue, and I was going to go to the first 3-5 like I did with the other books, but then they started making a whole big deal in advertising that Alan Scott was gay. I don't care what his sexual preferences are, but they only did it to grab media attention and I will not support that. I also refuse to read the Green Lantern comics now that they are doing it again with the "first Muslim-American" super hero.

No, I stopped reading that one after the three issues (but it lasted longer than The Dark Knight, which I stopped after #1). However, the only Batman story I have found to be worthwhile in the last 5 years is that Retroactive 70s book that came out last year. It was fantastic, well drawn, well thought out, and then I go and read the New 52 first issue and found it to be horrible. I am tired of these comics being dragged out for like 700 issues just to tell one story. Give me some freaking stand alones again!! Do the extended stories in graphic novel form.

Aquaman is the only N52 book I like, but again, I am dropping it after issue 13 comes out because I am tired of reading these drawn out stories, especially when it is interrupted by crappy 0 issues. I'll just read it when the paperbacks come out.

freakout117 01-19-2013 03:31 PM

Just got my Saint Walker Figure!

CMIII 01-19-2013 04:58 PM

I got mine 2 days ago. I have one issue the left leg paint in the front doesn't match up..

Dr Kain 01-19-2013 09:48 PM

I would have had mine on Wed had Digital River actually shipped the fucking thing to my address I updated with them FOUR TIMES on the phone instead of sending it to my old address. Instead, I had the pleasure of being told by UPS that they have sent my package to them.

freakout117 01-19-2013 10:25 PM

Yeah the only gripe I have with the figure is that the lantern can't fit in his hand, and Digital river shipping sucks, it took them over a week to deliver mine.

CMIII 01-20-2013 11:39 AM

yeah Mine took 8 days... Compared to the December figures which took 4 I'd love to hear this explanation particularly when I purchased Zann and Jayna the same day and it arrived in 2 days.

The had issue is the same for everyone on both Lantern Figures in the Club. Atrocitus cannot hold the Lantern because both hands are fists. I am waiting for Larfleeze my gut tells me his lantern wont even have a handle.

Crazy Jetty 01-20-2013 01:31 PM

funny hearing people bitch about shipping taking a week, when it takes two for me (Every time), and a month for canadians.

Complain about shipping when you have something worth complaining about.

CMIII 01-20-2013 03:44 PM

I don't think it's digital rivers fault blame the Postal services... CJ two Weeks??? your in Texas thats closer to Ontario California then I am thats a Surprise... For the Canadians its Customs and such..

My complaint is for the USPS It takes 4 days in one instance and then 8 in another I don't understand that

I'm sorry, but when I pay $15 for shipping, I expect it to be in my hands in a day. When I order something for shipping from Japan, and I get it in my hands in 2 days with a shipping cost of $16, there is no reason something from two states over should arrive in any more time.

And that was not my complaint in my post. My complaint is the fact that they shipped my subs to my OLD address after I updated it with them on the phone 4 times since Oct, two of which were after I asked them about my 2013 sub. And because of their worthless monkey brains, UPS just shipped my subs right back to them the other day since there was no one to deliver them to. Obviously I've got something to complain about because Digital River is run by dumbass retarded jerk monkeys. I know Republican red necks more intelligent than the worthless sacks of **** that answer the phones.

I wasn't complaining about you.
It was specifically directed at someone else, as well as the general "It's taking sooo looooong but I got it anyway!" complaints that always pop up from people who simply have no patience, but still get theirs a week before I get mine, and a month before others get theirs.

It's all good. I know we butt heads a lot, but no matter what, I have no anamosity to you, and hope you don't either.

ChapmanFilms 01-24-2013 11:47 AM

I love my Saint Walker!

Dr Kain 01-25-2013 05:00 PM

I got my Saint Walker and he is by far a disappointment. His ab crunch can only go back about a CM. His ankle joints can also only go back by about a CM (in fact, trying to move one of them back bent the plastic covering the joint), one of the joints inside his wrist is half white half blue. And he cannot hold his lantern battery. WTF Mattel? At least his head can be posed looking upward.

Phantomcrow 01-25-2013 06:38 PM

Pretty standard DC classics/Club infinite earths figure. I expect nothing amazing, but I like to get characters I have not gotten before. I am bouncing off the walls waiting for The Phantom Stranger figure coming. I have wanted him for years. I had no problems getting Saint Walker to hold his lantern, where Atrocitus I had to hang it on his wrist.

Crazy Jetty 01-25-2013 07:02 PM

In my book, Walker is amazing!
He's not a surprisingly amazing figure like Obsidian, but he's definately one of the better lanterns they've made.
I love his headsculpt, and all around he completely puts the DCD figure to shame.

But then I could be heavily biased by finally having a good figure of one of my favorite characters.

CMIII 01-28-2013 05:34 PM

I still wish they had done a more Comic book style Lantern like they did with Atrocitus. But over all it is a good figure I'd give it a B maybe B+.
