Its fauxtorealistic art.<BR/><BR/>Pacheco and Reis were much better fits to the GL book (even Van Schiver is considerably better than Acuna), and over in GLC Gleason kicks Acuna's ass on a regular basis, and on time every month.Ragnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373059673228550524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-44053852653891413322007-06-04T12:06:00.000-04:002007-06-04T12:06:00.000-04:00Ragnell-What aren't you liking about the art?

Not that I'm trying to change your mind, I just wanted to hear what about Arcuna's art annoyed you. <BR/><BR/>Though I didn't care for Hal's greasy-looking hair, I thought the luminous quality Arcuna brought to the character coloring was interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-17189819669764383602007-06-04T09:52:00.000-04:002007-06-04T09:52:00.000-04:00Stunned silence is not only polite, but potentiall...Stunned silence is not only polite, but potentially withering.SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-55545791282261479632007-06-04T02:17:00.000-04:002007-06-04T02:17:00.000-04:00I admire your restraint.

You know what <I>her</I> superpower is, right?" He winked at me. "It's the <I>hotness</I>. It's <I>all</I> about the hotness." He grinned broadly at me and waited for me to reply.<BR/><BR/>At this point I realized I had three options -- I could (A) say something withering, (B) inflict a long and uber-nerdly lecture on the Sapphire's powers upon him or (C) gaze at him blankly with my very best expression of polite incomprehension until he turned as red as his hair (he looked like a plumper version of Jimmy Olsen) and rung up my purchases.<BR/><BR/>I opted for C. Was that the right one?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-12384974152554144492007-06-03T00:52:00.000-04:002007-06-03T00:52:00.000-04:00Derek -- Yeah, but there's still that emotional di...Derek -- Yeah, but there's still that emotional divide. The male section studies logic and reason, the female section studies emotional.<BR/><BR/>Pisses me off that its specifically love, too, since anger would've fit Star Sapphire just as well (if not better, given the degrading of the character into a parody of female rage over the years).Ragnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373059673228550524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-28167638917848194182007-06-02T23:47:00.000-04:002007-06-02T23:47:00.000-04:00"I really fucking hate the emotional divide betwee..."<I>I really fucking hate the emotional divide between the Zamarons and the Guardians, they get to study love rather than willpower? Yuck! How fucking stereotypical can you be?</I>"<BR/><BR/>I think they wanted to study all emotions, not just love. It's just that they discovered that crystalline entity and became too focused on the one emotion.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14326906935557548236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-2372765360823296482007-06-02T14:51:00.000-04:002007-06-02T14:51:00.000-04:00Heh...I loved the end too.

No offense to the Cowgirl, who I actually like, I'm all about Carol. She was an awesome character who was finally becoming a fully realized character again when Emerald Twilight hit and I'm glad to see Johns finally got around to addressing that.<BR/><BR/>Btw, anyone else think emotions are like Pokemon in the DCU?

I thought that it portrayed Carol in a very good way, and I'm actually starting to like Cowgirl.SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.com
