So...errrmmm..... ummm.... how about that Deadpool figure? Looking sweet, huh?

And...girls...I really, really, really like girls. Just ask my girlfriend. Wait...not girls as in girls...I mean women. Just ask my girlfriend....who's a woman!

Hey...look over there -----------------------> A squirrel!

Oh cool... they're doing some Marvel clix this year too.

When do the Watchmen previews start showing up?

Yes. Hush was just a retread of Dark Victory which was just a retread of The Long Halloween. One of the main selling points for all of those stories is the art - though I'm not a big Jim Lee fan. Tim Sale, however, makes some right gorgeous pictures. Regardless, those stories range from mediocre to bad.

What, just because I like Batman, I'm expected to like all Batman stories? That's just silly. I loves me some Dark Knight Returns or Morrison's various runs on Batman or Year One or whatever. I don't love every last bit of drivel that has ever been written about Batman. Most of it is garbage. But the good stuff is good.

I already repped you once today, man.

Oh, I'm not talking about the Loeb part (although I agree with it). I'm talking about the 'not being such a blind fanboy that you buy everything they put out for you to buy just 'cause your favorite guy stars in it' part.

Don't we already have (numerous) threads devoted to kvetching about Loeb? No need for this one to go downhill...

OT:
I agree that the sculpts look rather nice. I'm very interested in what Traits these figs may have!!!

I think i just craped my pants red hulk sweeet can i get some rep? please

There's at least two other threads out there that have already reported this 'new'.

They say that 80% of everything is #### and in the comics world Jeph Loeb falls deeply in that 80%.

It is old news, but I love ComicBM saying he "craped his pants."
I love a good, unintentional joke.

A squirrel, and it's not even Squirrel Girl.

You need to seek help.

to be fair, that's a really high rez photo of it

Fair enough. I will say that the Red Hulk sculpt does look good. I think NECA is making it a point of having their first non-Topps related set come out swinging.

Really have to echo this. I still love clix, and won't begrudge anyone their characters they love from current books...but good god do I hate the current mucked-up state that is Marvel.

In my continuity, Hulk came back from Planet Hulk and ended the 616 Marvel U. That shot of him pointing his sword at Earth from atop the stone ship....that was the end.

I suspect this will fly over a lot of peoples' heads. I'd rep you for a good BM reference but you must spread it around, yada yada.

Modern day, Jeph Loeb is basically the Michael Bay of comics. Nobody claims to like it, yet it sells like crazy.

That said... call me a nimrod. Loeb's done some work I really enjoyed over the years. Some of them have been deeper stories (like his original Batman Halloween specials) and yes, others have been big action-splodey-spotfests.

And you're right. Loeb really knows how to write for his artists and give them the opportunity to strut their stuff. But we seem to disagree on whether that's a weakness or a strength.
