Ironic quotes from last year
While reading through some old posts on the site, I couldn’t help but notice a few lines that stuck out more than others.
Doom DeLuise: I think that [Brad Meltzer’s] JLA has been an incredibly fun read.
…
Jim Doom: Are you going to try Countdown?
DD: Hell yeah. I’m excited about it.
DD: The big problem is that if Countdown doesn’t pick up some steam, if it loses a lot of readership, whatever is being counted down to is going to have a pretty limp lead-in.
JD: I sure hope it’s not another crisis. Did you read Justice League of America #9?
DD: The “middle crisis” line?
JD: Yeah.
DD: They shouldn’t have put that in there.
JD: If there’s another crisis, I want them to wait 20 more years.
DD: I don’t think they’ll throw another one in after just two years away from the idea. They should know better.
Doom DeLuise (on Countdown): I think my criticism against Countdown was a tad premature. I really enjoyed this issue.
Fin Fang Doom: Justice League has not been a good book over the last ten issues. It’s come to the point where I’m just counting down the issues until Dwayne McDuffie takes over.
Fin Fang Doom (on Countdown): I have this nagging feeling that it’s going to get really sweet any issue now.
Jim Doom (on Green Arrow: Year One #2): I love fiction like this.
Jim Doom: Maybe Grant Morrison is just demonstrating that even a somewhat simple premise can be a great story – a call to arms for writers to get back to basics and shed convoluted gimmicks.
Jim Doom (theorizing on the various blatant contradictions within the pages of Countdown): All of these stories are taking place on different Earths in the multiverse – we just assume they’re all happening on our Earth, thus explaining the characters acting stupid or at least not how we would expect them to.
Fin Fang Doom: DC editorial decided to coordinate a few things (including the joke about Ollie not wanting strippers), but didn’t bother to make sure their two writers weren’t writing conflicting stories? That’s an interesting choice.
