I'm glad it is as well done as it seems to be.<BR/><BR/>Incredible Hercules is certainly worth catching up on in trades.<BR/><BR/>I never read the Wheedon run, and plan to pick it up at some point. I will probably not stick with the Moore run, even though I think Ramos' art is perfect for the characters.Talkin Bout Comicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18059141106345301700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979804051884732938.post-40875110881319138112008-12-13T13:52:00.000-05:002008-12-13T13:52:00.000-05:00Bah, used the wrong userID for my comment!

Sure it may have taken a while, but any story about a team with a roster of roughly 25 members is going to either take a while or completely ignore entire groups of characters. Someone asked me what side Stargirl and Cyclone were on, and it took until the Kingdom one-shot for me to get an answer.<BR/><BR/>Hooray for Fred Van Lente! Incredible Herc is actually one of the few series of his that I haven't been reading, for whatever reason. I'll probably be picking it up in trade after the holidays. I LOVED X-Men Noir, though (I'm a sucker for even halfway decent alternate-reality X-titles,) and wait with eager anticipation for the next issue. Given the book's high production value (very nice cover and paper stock) I don't mind the price.<BR/><BR/>Runaways has been sliding off the rails since BKV left. Whedon's run was decent, but took FAR too long to wrap up. the Secret Invasion team-up with Young Avengers was actually far more entertaining than this latest arc. Moore just hasn't gotten the right feel for the characters yet. And this What If? back-up that's running through this month's titles is just plain atrocious.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569180426066178711noreply@blogger.com
