Well, I kn...Let's hope not JT... For my sake!<br /><br />Well, I know I gave the Avengers/JLA mini a perfect score(in what I think was my longest review EVER!), but that was one of the few times the art was more impressive then the story for me. I did think the story was pretty good for a company crossover book, not like the pretty bad earlier DC/Marvel x-over which was basically a bunch of loosely connected battles. I'm an unabashed fan of Avengers/JLA though, so I'm not exactly the right person to ask! :-)x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-3708571042994814732010-08-09T02:33:47.430-04:002010-08-09T02:33:47.430-04:00Cool, I'm going to have to read those crossove...Cool, I'm going to have to read those crossovers again.

Hell it was SO good first, the amazon stuff, the "death" of Ollie, team up with Batman and Plastic Man.<br /><br />Yep, they fought Marc, that's why I mentioned it because I remember the pic X posted of Supes cleaning Thor's clock, which prompted me to go read that comic once again.Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-22936556667543070192010-08-07T23:58:44.895-04:002010-08-07T23:58:44.895-04:00"I think the most upsetting thing about that ..."I think the most upsetting thing about that series is that the first like, 14 issues were amazingly good compared the the last half..." Totally agreed. But then again, the first half of the series focused on GA and BC, while the second half dealt with Cupid...<br /><br />I know they fought in the Avengers/JLA x-over, with Supes winning the battle. I was(and still am)fine with that result, although the fact that Thor could be considered a magical-type character(Supes weakness!)does make me wonder a bit. As for the original Marvel Vs DC series... I can't recall either! I know Supes beats the Hulk and Juggernaut in that, but I can't recall what Thor did...x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-38423462245046359372010-08-07T20:21:34.118-04:002010-08-07T20:21:34.118-04:00Didn't Superman and Thor fight each other in o...Didn't Superman and Thor fight each other in one of those Marvel vs. DC crossover comics in mid-'90s?

I'm a jerk like that! :D <br /><br />I totally agree about both GA and BC, JT(GA, BC, JT?!). The end of the GA/BC series was nearly unreadable, while Birds has been amazing, and GA has been pretty good.<br /><br />Thanks for the kind words Marc. Right now I'm kind of leaning towards sticking with "Picto-Review". The regulars here know what it means, and what the post entails, so that's good enough for me.<br /><br />I'm glad you guys got a kick out of the Thor/GA thing. Once I saw "Thor" in this comic, I immediately thought back to that issue of Thor, where "GA" appeared. That HAD to be deliberate on the part of both artists!x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-10816287031063178482010-08-07T11:07:36.977-04:002010-08-07T11:07:36.977-04:00Still loving the picto-reviews, X!

And I laughed so hard at Ollie being in Thor, that HAD to be him on purpose cause he looks WAY too much like Ollie.Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-68556186950887906952010-08-06T23:51:38.335-04:002010-08-06T23:51:38.335-04:00Wow, really?
