The Crow (and the latest Captain America Costume)
Wednesday, October 24, 2007 
Always a halloween costume favorite James O'Barr's The Crow is one of the most well known independant comic characters ever. So what do our usual suspects think of the comics and of the movies inspired by them? We talk all things Crow and the latest Captain America costume on this edition of The Dollar Bin.

My flatmate last year raved about the first crow film. She said it was so crap, that it was good. Kept going on about how it had incest...
Personally never been interested in it, either in book form or any medium.
I read fell through in an hour after getting it through the post. Much better than the crow.
Oh and can someone clear something up for me... I read batman detective collection by Dini, in the one about penguin being robbed by Mr zzzzz, he meets lois at the lounge and she seems to know he's batman, when did she find out and how?
Well Nic, in the post Identity Crisis DC Universe, pretty much all of the heroes know everything about each other and usually refer to each other by their secret id's most of the time. And that usually goes for their significant others as well. It's kind of lame.
But Identity Crisis was great.

The Crow is extremely dated (or i've just changed that much). I tried to reread my copy a couple of months ago and could not make it all the way through. Oh, and Shiny Captain America looks like ass.
Identity crisis was cool, I think that was my second big trade I got. Got me into green arrow.
Oh and the captain america costume does indeed look like ass. It looks like it was made out of shiny sweet wrappers and in the picture I saw made him look like he was only half out of his normal clothes (He looks like he still has his trousers on) Why not just keep him in red white and blue? Why the hell does black have to appear in the costume?
I keep thinking the new Cap costume makes him look like a human cannonball or something. The bullet shaped top makes it look like he should be flying through the air at you you or something. The gun addition isn't especially appealling either as it seems too small against the shield to be visually appealing. I would think something more along the lines of one those one-handed sub machine guns would make it pop out a bit more.
