That's kind of a large image not to be under the cut.

The actual content I don't feel qualified, or motivated, to comment on, beyond "Eeeeeeewwwww!"

I looked at that list..and agree about..75%, due to the fact that the guy reviewing Rise of Arsenal seems to be praising the fucking thing and all I could think was that they seriously should've gotten someone else to review it. RoA was stupidity born of stupidity which the purpose was to destroy a character piece by piece and make others look just as badly. I couldn't believe he called it entertaining. I've read and seen things that aren't exactly going for an oscar but manage to be mindlessly entertaining and some even funny. What entertainment does this book have? As for funny? Here's the thing..there's a funny joke..and then there's a sad joke...this book was a very, very sad joke. DC dropped the ball and it's rolling around uncontrollably, with more chaotic results. I said it once, I said it twice, I said it so many times. Fix. It. DC!

I also say 75% because I haven't been reading Superman: Grounded and haven't really been interested in it so..there.

As for the rest on the list...Villains for Hire...jobbed out Ryan in a attempt to make this team look good. Fail. Cinder...seriously I been wondering the same thing that this article raised..why the hell doesn't she just burn these assholes without having sex with them? It just...either she's someone who doesn't care or..idk..just..wrong to me.

Cry For Justice...another nemesis of mine in comics...it gave birth to Rise of Arsenal...and then there's the whole three way scene...also dealing a crushing blow to a character barely part of the series...seriously..where was the Justice? Fail. Nuff said.

Sentry: Fallen Sun... those that remember my initial outburts regarding it remember some unkind things I said in regard to Rogue's character, which I do take back but what it did..it just..tarnished perhaps my absolute favorite X-Men character...the article is right..it was a huge disservice to Rogue. It was stupid. If they needed the X-Men there, there were sooooo many other ways to do so. What was the point? Make Sentry seem like "the man" for sleeping with Rogue? They reduced her to nothing more than a prop at the expense of trying to make Sentry look good. Epic. Fail!

Mmm...I agree with his rant on Superman: Grounded. "You don't like Superman being a 'down-to-earth' guy? Well, I'm going to have him tell you how wrong you are! Assholes!"

Fun stuff.

Seriously..how come Fall of Green Arrow and War of the Supermen isn't on that list? Not to mention some Spider-Man stories? Just saying.

[starwolf_oakley]

Someone smarter than me said that "Grounded" would work better if Clark Kent was walking across America. People wouldn't bother Clark Kent so he could bust out quotes about Henry David Thoreau .

[golden_orange]

I was going to express surprise that the review / rant didn't mention the rather wallbangery incident that started the whole arc to begin with (your saving the Earth from superpowered invaders meant that you couldn't cure my husband's brain tumor, Superman!) but if I recall correctly that was just a mini-story in an issue, not an issue itself.

[q99]

Only 5 slots? All of the ones he listed were pretty horrible too.

[shadowpsykie]

in my opinion anyone who messes with children deserves far worse

[tsunamiwombat]

While I agree the punishment was by no means out of order, is she...

Is she burning him to death with her...hoohah?

[tsunamiwombat]

I checked the page and yes, yes she is killing that man with her Vagina.

[big_daddy_d]

It sure does seem like it..

[zyriex]

Oh, I don't have an issue with the child rapist getting killed part so much as the fact that the scene is a gratuitous sex scene that involves where the murder weapon is a lava-vagina.

[sindra]

Actually, now that you mention it I'm surprised that wasn't included.

Because that made me want to take that woman out back and beat her senseless. Wahh Wahh you couldn't use your alien powers to cure my husbands tumor because you were to busy trying to stop your species from taking over the planet and then watching them becoming near-extinct (again).

Goddamn bitch needed to be slapped multiple times.

[shadowpsykie]

things like this are not helping me and my fear of lady parts.... oh well at least i still have man parts :D

[proteus_lives]

A little on the nose.

A cut would be nice.

[batman]

You know, normally when you get a burning sensation down there, you go and see a doctor, not weaponise it and become a supervillain.

[big_daddy_d]

Thank you. That goes with a point raised in the article and my rant...why wouldn't she just..burn him to death without having sex with him?

[big_daddy_d]

Ahh I was waiting for someone to make that joke. lol

[batman]

I just wish I had a Batman icon to go with it. Alas, this is the closest thing I have!

[g1andyp]

Summers Eve's next line?

[misterbug]

What a...burn?

That sort of thing could get a man...fired?

I think he was...hot...for...you...?

Re: Additionally

[misterbug]

It's all about extremes. Those were all bad stories, yes, but only in a mildest sense - they were averagely bad, and lacked the tangy, sharp flavour of fail that spiced up every page of RoA or S: Grounded.

Although I would say OMIT outshines them all, but Spider-Man will always have diehard apologists to back him up, so it's difficult to say the majority hates it.

[misterbug]

Wonder whether that last issue of Secret Six was Gail's riposte to that point, as well as Ryan Choi's death? Giganta does APPEAR to be seducing a man, but only so he let's his guard down - then she gets revenge on him for having her boyfriend murdered.

Re: Additionally

[stolisomancer]

Which Spider-Man stories? David Uzumeri writes for that site, and he liked "Grim Hunt" and "Shed" just fine.

In a year with the five stories they listed, nothing in ASM even comes close except "One Moment in Time," and that's just embarrassing to Quesada. Compared to Cry for Justice, it doesn't even rate.

Re: Additionally

[stolisomancer]

"One Moment in Time" has some okay art and mostly comes across as Joe Quesada being unnecessarily defensive of an extraordinarily bad idea. While it's really stupid, it doesn't deserve to be lumped in with "the Sentry fucked Rogue" or "Roy Harper beating dudes with a dead cat."
