Regarding the Pope

As people I'm not trying to score with know, I like comic books. Lately I have really been getting into Green Lantern and its Blackest Night story-line. for those that don't know, Blackest Night is an overarching event about apocalyptic war and zombie superheroes that is being felt all over the DC Universe. Obviously, events like this are very dark and serious. As is Dark Reign. And Final Crisis. And Secret Invasion. And Civil War. Basically, every event in superherodom is dark. I like them and all, but it gets a bit repetitive. Everyone comes together for a cause, then goes their separate ways after about 7 issues.
I'm anxiously waiting for someone to announce a major crossover event in which a team of superheroes goes to Six Flags or something. Or how about JLU:Free Comic Book Day. The entire Justice League heads to the local comic shop one nice May afternoon to pick through the racks and get some free new comics. he Flash could read a comic so fast it would still be considered mint condition. Green Lantern can create a good issue of Marvel Noir for the first time ever. Martian Manhunter, may he rest in piece, can morph into a nerd who only has a little bit of acne, therefore becoming the envy of the comic store. Just a thought.

While I'm on the subject of comics, allow me to complain about Marvel Zombies. The first series was awesome and funny, plus it had terrific covers. Who wouldn't want to see their favorite superheroes shambling along in search of food? Then came the sequel, which was also good, but provided an end for the undying characters. After that, the writers at Marvel decided to go in another(stupid) direction. Instead of cool covers, funny dialogue, and classic characters, they used generic covers, crappy dialogue, and D-list characters fighting generic . Aaron Stack is only cool in the Earth X trilogy. Then, to follow that up, In Marvel Zombies 4, they used crappier characters with writing to match. I was just about to give up on the series, but then they announced that 5 is going back to basics with the good character. It shouldn't take a genius, and 2 miniseries, to realize that people don't want Kathy Griffin-level zombie fighters trying to cure a virus strain. We want cool, super powered zombies looking for food! Anywhooo, rant over.

Also, Marvel Noir sucks. I swore them off right before they come out with Noir: Punisher! Oh well, I just take solace in the fact that it will probably suck.
