A time that is remembered as being wonderful, pretty much regardless of the fine details. Like the way I felt about the 9th Doctor for about the first quarter of the 10th's run.

Were you one of the hooded guys in Suburban Knights 2?
Triumph (not the comic dog) is 100% Robert Crumb approved.
Every time I see Cyclops, I think she looks like a dude (Sephiroth).
Harsh, I didn't think it was THAT bad.

I'm still surprised that LAG can shoot lightning balls out of his hands :D

I actaully kinda liked the comic. I thought it atleast should have gotten a 2 or a 2 and one half stars.
You can't exactly blame a comic for using a concept somebody else has done since like EVERYTHING has been done before in comics. Heck there is a comic about Joker ranting about his "boner".

This is a pretty good video, you're getting better and better ^^
That being said, I think you should practice your intonation during your voice-over recording when you sum up the story. :)
Anyway, Looking forward to more, I'm hoping you do The Messiah CompleX!

I liked Halcyon for the most part but the lack of any real resolution really annoyed me. The series doesn't so much end as it does stop at a turning point, it would be like if Lost ended once they discovered the hatch.
It was in interesting idea and it was well executed but the last issue, while being a solid comic, wasn't a finale. Really what this series needed was to be a ten or twelve part series, that would give us more time to get to know the characters, more time to introduce the ones who come out of nowhere (Cammo), explain some things better and let us have a proper ending.
Each issue is worth 3-4 stars but as a 'complete' story it deserves 2.

Interesting, although the art seems somewhat bland, which was par for the course as I remembered from JLA Earth 2.

Damn, the rating at the end was cold. I have all the same complains that you have, but found it way more entertaining. And, boy, the art, I loved the art. It came off as a cross between Steve Dillion and Doug Mahnke, sorta.
Oh boy, I freakin' LOVED the art, although, again, I have the same complaint as you do, as in the bodyvariaty was pretty short.
And I really hope that his series gets a sequel. After all, the tradepaperback gets released with a "1" behind the title, so there is hope...

I believe some have complained about this before: in my opinion your star rating doesn't match what you have said about the comic (or TV show, etc.).
In my view, giving one star means a book doesn't have any redeeming qualities, but you said that the art was fine, the idea was decent, and it had potential for a sequel. So, in the end it seems 1 star is too harsh.
My humble suggestion would be to give each aspect of the comic a separate rating (off-screen), and then average or simply consider these scores for the final rating so that it doesn't look so out of left field.
Anyways, funny and entertaining, as always!

If it had no redeeming qualities I would have given it ZERO stars. My scale goes from zero to five.

Over all Halcyon seemed like cool comic book so its shame that it was not very well done.

06.29.2011 - 09:57 | wildcard1985Great review it kind of reminds me of Watchman in terms of tone and high ideals, too bad they where left unfulfilled. Also make sure to avoid farting while conjuring lightning.

I suspect you've been bombarded with stuff about the DC reboot.
As a lapsed comic reader I want to get back into comic and the reboot DC is doing is a good way of me to get in again.
My question if you have time to answer it is this: Which comics do you recommend for the reboot I'm really excited about batman, green lantern and willing to give superman or JLA a try however in some cases theres up to a half dozen books for what appears to be just one character (Batman seems to be the worst offender for this); which would you recommend a new reader like me to get into.
Not sure if you view this as video material.
Thanks for your time.
