IC #6 - Super Spoilers

[Super Monkey]

A lot of people started complaining when Geoff Johns had Gorilla Grodd eat human flesh, but I don't have a problem with this.

But Gorillas never eat meat of any kind. Yes, I know he is not a normal gorilla, but it's as laughable as vampire Dolphins.

As long as ONLY the Villains are acting like jerks and are the only ones doing the murdering, I guess it's an improvement, but Heroes if they are real heroes should never act that way, like they did during the Dark Age/Iron Age.

I agree and disagree. OYL titles for the most part are consistent with the statements above. However, I keep looking to the IC "villains" and shake my head. I didn't read the Crisis until about 10 years ago. After reading it, you develop a connection with the characters of what they lost and gained. I find it disheartening the heroes of the original are the antagonists now.

Too much hero to villian to hero action contributes to the "professional wrestling-ization" of comics...

Yeah, That's Marvel's job!

I disagree. I thought Conner's end was poignantly written and heroic, especially in light of the fact that Geoff Johns did everything he could to make the character likeable.

I don't think that he was necessarily written poorly in this issue, just that the character was pretty poor already, and that this didn't improve things much.

Geoff Johns does this: make characters likeable and then kill them off shortly after.

And you're enthusiastic about him working on Superman?
