Short Comic Arcs VS Long Comic Arcs; Benefits of Both

         I talked to many comic books stores owners and even more comic book fans and it seems their is no common consensus of which is the best. Some perfer short 6 issue arcs like what Benis is currently doing with the Avengers, and some perfer longer more planned out stories like what Hickman do with most of his writing(S.H.I.E.L.D, FF, Secret Warriors). After the jump I discuss the benefits of both short term and long term stories and leave it up to you to decide which one is the best.

DC UNiverse Relaunch....Bad Ideal

      So according to sites such as cbr, and Ign, Dc is planning a line wide relaunch in September after Flashpoint. I was afraid this was going to happen. I think its a really bad ideal and just a way for Dc to make some more money. Their excuse is that it would make comics easier for new comic book readers to get into. New comic readers are always good but this way I highly disagreed with. More reason reason why I dislike it after the jump.

Batman And Robin, Best Batman comic out Currently?

     The Dc comic series Batman and Robin is amazing. It one of my most prized collections. If i had to chose between that and some other comic because i only have enough to get one more, Batman and Robin is surely to be my pick. Like many, its obvious im a huge fan of Batman, but it come a surprise to me that  my favorite series is the one without Bruce Wayne, and that my favorite Batman character ever is Damien. I believe Damien is the reason why I, and many other enjoy this comic so much. Read more after the jump on reasons why this comic maybe one of the best Batman title out there.....no best comic out there currently.

Marvel and Dc events. Flashpoint vs Fear Itself

        Its Back! Marvel and DC crosswide events are back from the dead. It been about a year since Blackest Night and Siege and after a year long break they returning. Here is what im collecting and what im not after the jump.

      

Thor review!

       Now to start this review off, let me begin by saying Asgard was simply spectacular. I was a little worried how they would make it look, well nothing to be worried about. It blew my expectations out of  the water, more than out the water, it blew it out of the planet. I found myself wanting to see more of Asgard, to see more of where the lower asgardian class live. The Earth scenes are straight out of the comic. It reminded me of a recent issue of Thor. Nicely done on that part too.

Norman Osborn-Ultimate Hero?

   I reread the Dark Avengers recently and it still is one of my favorite series by Bendis. He really reinvented Norman Osborn, well not reinvent but  brought him more to the forefront. Norman Osborn became someone more than the guy who was Green Goblin throughout the Dark Reign. In Dark Avengers is where he catapult into my top 30 comic book characters. In the last issue of Dark Avengers(issue 16), Norman Osborn was talking to himself(green goblin) about all the good he was going to do. He states " I know the mutants of this world will rise up and kill us. I know the Hulk will one day decide to destroy everything he sees. I know the Punisher will one day kill the wrong person and set off a chain that will lead to the nuclear holocaust. I know that theses heroes will dive Head First into something they do not understand and end up doing such insane damage to the world that human can no longer live on". 
     So it appears Norman Osborn was just really looking out for the people, the powerless ones in the Marvel universe. So would you consider Osborn one of the true heroes of the universe? Even if his methods was off, it was all for a good goal right?
