Elven Doritos

Quote from: Salacious AngelAt least Gaiman and Miller know when to kill off a character; don't superheroes ever die???

In a few words?

Nope, not usually.
Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh, how we danced away all of the lights
We've always been out of our minds

Captain Obvious

HOLY FEAKING CRAP!

DAREDEVIL IS AWESOME!!!!

Curretnly reading through the entirety of vol 2 of daredevil, adn it is amazing. Up until now, i had only7 read some of the older stuff (vol 1) as well as Frank Miller's run and Kevin Smith's run - both of which are amazing too. but i just finished reading the "Hardcore" storyline (where El do's pic is from) and this has cemented both daredevil as one of my favourites and increased my already immense worship of Bendis. That man is incredible. he's a genius!
Can't wait til i get to Brubaker's run as he is one of my all-time favourite writers (who else has read the "Sleeper" series?).

Daredevil is totally hard-core. he's just way more intense than the average hero. or bear for that matter.

Elven Doritos

I've been reading the following with some level of regularity:

Green Lantern
Green Lantern Corps
Ion: Guardian of the Universe
Flash: Fastest Man Alive (although the wrap-up on the first arc SUCKED)
52 (Weekly book that actually manages to come out on time!)
Action Comics (the current arc is AMAZING. PM me if you're interested in what's going on.)
Trials of Shazam!

I think that covers it. I've officially began a Marvel boycott, although I'll probably pick up Punisher: War Journal and the occasional book that catches my eye.

I follow DC more closely than Marvel, but I'm waiting until 52 is out to read it all together. But I'm on top of both. I like a lot of Vertigo stuff and while I prefer Gaiman's fiction to his comics I down with that. I have a list of above 30 webcomics that I wish I read and a list of about 10 that I actually keep current on.

On a side note: Punisher: War Journal is the best thing to come out of CW if you ask me. Also how is Trials of Shazam?

I HATE Civil War, I've made that clear in my previous posts... After #5, my hatred has multiplied.

As for Trials, it's decent-- definitely a new direction for the franchaise, but I rather like the storytelling and the elements being used.

Nope, not usually.

i can't tell for sure if that's sarcasm or not, but assuming it is, i would like to point out that it's a fairly short list, particularly when compared to the list of revived characters (and especially when compared to the list of living characters), and quite a few of the ones that have died in the past 5-10 years have a good chance at coming back.

if that wasn't sarcasm, then this is only to emphasis your point.

No sarcasm involved... I was agreeing with him... the list being provided as an example. I think you must have misunderstood what I was saying.

"Don't superheroes ever die?"
"No. Here's a list proving that I agree with you."
