Given the choice, what two Infinity Gems would you want to control?

I don't know much about the Infinity gems but like, is there a point to any of them besides Reality? Like, after you can bend reality to your whim, that's the whole ball game there.

If I have to pick two, I guess that and Time. Power seems redundant, Mind seems lackluster, and Soul's a joke.

As far as well adjusted immortals go, didn't DC One Million have Superman and Lois living happily ever after in the center of the sun or something like that?

but he also said he hadn't read any of the New 52 books (this was in 2012, so maybe that has changed).

This sounds kinda like when he said that he stood up and yelled during Man of Steel. Y'know, one of those stories you just roll your eyes and go "yeah sure Mark you're totally done with DC now" :rolleyes:.

I am getting really tired of millenials complaining about how bad millenials are and then getting really mad when informed that they are themselves millenials.

Wait so what's a millennial again? I thought it was someone born in the 2000s, am I off on that?

STAH thread makes me wonder, what's the actual best/most clever use of GL or any GL style power in comics. So you can create anything you think of, that's cool, there should be like a million great stories using that cleverly. Instead, the most iconic GL stuff seems to be more about being space cops or emotional warfare. I like Kyle and designs given to him were more interesting to look at but still feels like it hasn't been tapped that much as a concept.


Not in comics, and totally not the way the ring works, I know, but I just finished playing Lego Batman 3, and all the Lanterns basically make portals to warp from one end of the galaxy to the other... shaped like regular doorways. I thought it was cute.


As far as comics go, I like when people kind of forget that the ring is only supposed to make constructs and instead just make GL rings do what-the-gently caress-ever because hey they're basically magic rings that work on willpower/wishing really hard. Like a couple of years ago, Simon Baz, the most recent GL that everyone immediately forgot, was getting a crash course in ring-wielding, and his trainer (a GL who is a squirrel because hey, comedy) told him through a very poor choice of words that the ring could do anything he willed it to do. Baz took it to a hospital where brother-in-law was in a coma and (through great effort) woke him up.

Don't do this. Don't do this at all. Fraction did have some interesting stuff with Marvel (knife gun!) but his Uncanny X-men was middling at best and constantly torn down by Greg Land art. Also he wrote Fear Itself. That alone should keep you from reading everything he did for Marvel.

To be fair it probably wouldn't have been that bad as the original Cap/Thor story it was envisioned as. I mean, "evil god makes (basically) a bunch of evil Thors" sounds good on paper. But then Marvel had to event it up, as they are wont to do.

I'm glad people like Squirrel Girl. I don't want to put people down for liking it. Just had to get that off my chest.

As long as I'm here, Deadpool is like the comic book version of Old GBS.

I can respect that opinion as, while I like the book, I do find that all of North's characters sound a little same-y and his dialogue sounds unnatural at times (as though he's trying to force characters to fit punchlines into 4 panels :v:)
