Elsewhere, Astro reports Slayven's tears taste of "chicken and regret".

I like Nu Astro. His quality has been a lot stronger since the DC relaunch.

Neither am I. Astro obviously got the Wildstorm treatment.

Astro is bringing some heat but I was not impressed with his encounter with Liefeld over at CBR. Not impressed at all. Hurts his overall score.

Hahahaha this is great news.

Not because the title is that good, but rather because it's fucking Aquaman outselling every Marvel book, Spiderman, Thor, and Wolverine included.

Yeah, I hope it's a nice wake-up call to Marvel that a simple DC revamp of AQUAMAN can outsell all of the event-tie-in faggotry they've been shoving down our throats for years without end.

LOL, too reasoned?

After I responded to his shitty post with reason, he basically had one line for me.

I guess I could have attacked him with venom, but it's not like they gave him GL or the New Gods or anything. Id on't give a shit about the titles he's about to kill.

Maybe Strange can dig it out.

Too lazy to look through all the pages.

You can search "Desaad" and "Liefeld" but I thnk that'll bring up a shit ton of hits.

Needed more venom. I did like how he started one of his responses to you with "This will be like taking candy from a baby".

Bottom line is that when comics were at their peak, selling to the largest audience, he was one of few who were at the top of that peak, dood. You can't argue against thems historical facts, guy. That makes him the greatest and all that.

Haha yeah, I loved the "this will be like taking candy from a baby" and then he had all these shitty grammatical and logical errors.

But I did mean what I said -- Liefeld HAS a fanbase, and I'm happy for DC to try to court that fanbase. I'm not part of it, but giving him any one of those books, to draw especially, makes total sense to me and I'm all for. Especially either Grifter or Deathstroke.

I think Hawkman needs a softer, smarter touch but even then I wouldn't have screamed bloody murder or anything.

Everything should start to balance out this month.  Worst case scenario it doesn't and Marvel does a system wide reboot themselves and put the final nail in the comic book industies coffin.
