He's a master of ambient sound.

[thanekos]

His powers're to control, amplify, and redirect the noise around him.

He calls himself Doppler, because he thinks that effect's " close enough " to what he does.

He's been a key part of C.O.W.L.'s last few issues; his introduction opened last December's #7 nicely.

There, he'd walked into a convenience store, picked up some newspapers, and turned to walk out.

He was stopped by the man behind the counter, who told him that he needed to pay for those.

He said he wouldn't, and told the man's wife to mind her business when she tried to interject.

The man, provoked, pulled out a gun to hold him there.

" You're going to call the police? "

" Yes, I am. "

" Okay then. "

( ..he said, like a man taking his cue. )

Batman:Hush - Batman vs. Superman

[panelsarewindows]

(Despite starting with Batman #611, this cover is from #612, since it kinda fits the theme more)

I have conflicting feelings towards Hush. I enjoy reading it, but not thinking about it. The story isn't very good, but I think he characters are well written. The art sticks to very stereotypical body shapes, where everyone kinda looks the same, but it's Jim Lee, so it's gorgeous art. Hush himself WOULD have been an interesting villain, if his 'reveal' wasn't so obvious (but also very confusing). It reminds me a lot of Jeph Loeb's other big Batman work 'The Long Halloween', where the characters and set-up are pretty good, but the resulting story and payoff... aren't.

Anyway, after seeing the new Batman vs. Superman teaser (which, IMO, looks pretty lame), I though about this confrontation which happened in the middle of the Hush story-arc (issues #611 and #612). I think these two work best together in a story when they begrudgingly work together rather than out-right fight, but I do think it's one of the better done fights between them.

GI Joe 141-142: Such Heroic Nonsense

[ozaline]

When last we left off Megatron had touched the Ark down in a Cobra occupied town in America so that he could give Cobra Commander some of the tech contained there in as payment for his new body... but Megatron has something else that interests him, a reason he is continuing to deal with Cobra.

[cyberghostface]

Anyone remember when they said the usage of 'Uncanny' in 'Uncanny Inhumans' was coincidental and that they weren't trying to copy the X-Men?
