When it comes down to Kevin Smith, Sims stops making good reviews and reduces himself to a freaking crap-slinging monkey. But since WG is written by Kevin Smith, it can’t be just “not very good”. Yeah, truth to be told, Widening Gyre is Not Very Good, but the ISB has seen and allowed much of NVG comics to exist, content with making just a snarky remark about them. He sent Superman away from “his” city during No Man’s Land, even when he could have easily fixed everything in a few hours. He has been known to create sinthetic kriptonite, “just in case”. Batman has been known to build stuff like OMAC. Sure, he’s one of the greatest super-heroes ever, but some writers prefer to portray him as a traumatized control freak. Never happened before.Īnd newsflash: Batman CAN be a jerk. And trusting a hero that turns out to be a villain? Nope. Who hasn’t? It’s not like crappy characters like Azbats hasn’t done that before. Smith makes a new character and he ends up beating up the Joker. I-Love-The-Silver-Age? Batman having pajama parties with Superman, anyone?īatman takes his squeeze to Superman’s place and spouts a few phases that reminded you of a famous story by Alan Moore. When did you started hating goofy sh*t, Mr. Poison Ivy remembers that cannabis is a part of the plant kingdom and uses it against Batman. You just _know_ Chris Sims is gonna thrash a Kevin Smith book, no matter the circumstances. You know, Sims? This is the only thing I hate about your reviews. I don’t think Daredevil holds up at all, but while I haven’t read it in a while, I think Green Arrow at least played to his strengths (reveling in minutiae being a selling point of bringing Ollie Queen back from the dead), and had that good good good Phil Hester/Ande Parks art. Was I deluding myself when I thought his Green Arrow run was good stuff the same way people are now deluding themselves into thinking his Batman stuff is good? Just wondering, which two and a half did you think were his good movies?Ĭlerks, Mallrats, about 45% of Dogma and the line “what the fuck is the Internet?” from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. This is what is known as “The Juggalo Stratagem.”Ĭoincidentally, that is the title of my upcoming Tom Clancyesque thriller. He’s also retweeted several messages of support against the “hatersâ€. I guess you can’y blame the guy, but Smith’s twitter stream right now is like a hundred retweets of people praising the Widening Gyre. Just click on the cover or the words “I read Kevin Smith’s latest foray into comics” and you’ll be whisked over to a full review at ComicsAlliance. Why did the issue suck and how? No offense, but any mope can sound like Comic Book Guy.Īpparently any mope can miss a hyperlink too.

I’m not a fan of Smith’s comic writing either, but be specific.
