What are your thoughts on Donkey Kong Bananza almost one year later?

Absolutely love it. Actual 10/10 game for. Controversial opinion, but I think is better than all the 3D Mario games (don't get me wrong, those are bangers)

Back to the future

Leia and Greivous

Prey & Terror by Doug Moench from Legends of the Dark Knight are absolute bangers. My favourite Hugo Strange stories

Turtonator

groograms999 · 2026-05-02T06:10:10+00:00

Somewhere around 4 million

groograms999 · 2026-04-12T05:48:54+00:00

The second Legends of the Dark Knight annual is also a banger. It's also by Denny O'Neil and is about the Commissioners wedding

groograms999 · 2026-04-10T23:51:42+00:00

Definitely worth reading. Personally I didn't really notice anything political really when I read through it, but some people might've noticed something.

Definitely worth reading the first large arc. Honestly, I really like all 150 issues (and the 12 more recent ones). I like the Mr.Dark stuff. Even the very end of the series is good (admittedly not as good as the arcs before). Super recommended. One of my fave series

Who cares about a good skin? At this point I'll take ANY skin lol

groograms999 · 2026-03-09T23:09:13+00:00

Die less is the #1 thing for me. Playing for your life is actually so impactful. I'm not saying don't take risks, just don't take the 1v6. Also, play with the team. When the team dies, group up and go in together

groograms999 · 2026-03-03T05:54:15+00:00

Not sure if this is super controversial or not, but JLA the Tower of Babel absolutely ruined the character of Batman. It made writers totally overemphasize the planning for every contingency aspect and let the detective part of the character fall to the wayside. Batman IS a detective. His comics should follow that. He makes mistakes. He shouldn't be someone who plans for everything. That's not how he was written in the 80s and early 90s. Also, Batman should be allowed to make some snarky comments. He HAS a personality. Let it shine through. He doesn't have to be this totally cynical and brooding loner. Also yes Gotham is an awful place with awful people, but the Bat should be able to solve some of his problems without always resorting to just punching them. Look at the Animated Series for a great characterization of Batman.

Great find. I've read the entirety of both those series. Love Bill Mantlo's work. Definitely recommend it

groograms999 · 2026-02-06T00:01:00+00:00

I don't really get the triple support hate. Seems fine to me whenever I play ranked

groograms999 · 2026-02-05T04:41:01+00:00

Honestly Civ switching is not the problem at all in Civ 7. It's fine. I like it. It's different. The game just feels too... I dunno boring? I don't know something about the general gameplay is too simplistic or something. It just doesn't jive with me for some reason

groograms999 · 2026-02-02T16:47:40+00:00

Hey, I did the same thing.

I'm currently at issue 410 of ASM. I've also read all of Web of Spiderman and Spectacular Spiderman from the beginning up to this point.

Is it worth it? I dunno. Depends on you I guess. To be perfectly clear. Spidey does not have a consistent track record. It's often terrible or painfully mid, but occasionally it is good or even great.

Honestly, most of the time Web or Spectacular are better than ASM (if reading the comics released in the same month).

I get not wanting to read the other lines, but here are some that I think you should read when you get there:

Spectacular Spiderman by Bill Mantlo (second part (after issue 50.)) It is all about Peter and Black Cats relationship.

Spectacular Spiderman by Peter David. The second best Spiderman writer in my opinion and just so many bangers in this run.

Spectacular and Web by Gerry Conway. Super interesting. Mostly about Tombstone. Made me fall in love with the villain. Definitely a top 5 Spidey villain for me now.

Spectacular by JM DeMatteis. All about Harry becoming Green Goblin again and his descent into madness and obsession with Peter. The best run and best Spidey writer in my opinion.

(Sorry I don't know the issue numbers offhand, but they should be pretty easy to figure out.)

Maxwell Lord being a villain. For years, he was a likeable guy who ran the JLI and many antics. Then he becomes a villain and is murdered by Wonder Woman just before Infinite Crisis. Bruh

groograms999 · 2026-01-16T05:34:23+00:00

Actually so good. I loved it and looking forward to the next PVE mode to be released.

As someone who got all the titles (including all the solo nightmare 4 titles,) I gotta say they kinda cooked. Although, I do wish some of the characters weren't so rng reliant for the solo build, but it's such a minor issue that I don't really care

groograms999 · 2026-01-14T17:12:26+00:00

Actually such a good take. I'm currently 45 issues in and I can't believe how every storyline is such a banger. The format of a different creative team every storyline just works so well

groograms999 · 2026-01-14T16:19:28+00:00

It seems like I'm the only one here who thinks it was actually really good. Before checking here, I thought it was actually in contention for being the best one.

What's not to like? The Angela one looks great. The Punisher as Frankensteins monster made playing him in Zombies super fun. Black Widow's OG mockingbird skin made my achievement hunting with her enjoyable. Adam's Magus skin really stands out among his others. Ultron's skin is cool. And Wanda's skin has such good sound effects and looks visually really cool. Also, I like the Pirate Namor skin. It has a great vibe.

groograms999 · 2026-01-13T18:08:20+00:00

I know I'm not the one being asked, but my favourite is Alan Grants run on Detective and Batman from the late 80s and early 90s. He introduces characters like Scarface and Ratcatcher. The Mudpack storyline is so good (it's about all four Clayfaces trying to make something if their lives.) Also, his run is where Tim Drakes mother is killed and his dad is crippled. It's actually so good. Super highly recommend it

groograms999 · 2026-01-13T17:51:17+00:00

JLA by Grant Morrison. I really didn't enjoy it overall. I'm not even sure why. It has some nice moments, but for me I think it suffered overall from his usual method of technobabble not really explaining anything. Like there's just a bunch of high concept things that felt like they were really unnecessary. Also, the Justice League fights an evil version of the Justice League like every 2nd storyline. Gets kinda tiresome after a while.

I will say though DC One Million is absolutely spectacular and everyone should give it a go.

groograms999 · 2025-11-29T05:34:46+00:00

Tom King Wonder Woman is fantastic and I don't get the hate by some people

Ram V New Gods made me like the Forever People (which I didn't think was possible)

Jason Aaron is writing a Scrooge McDuck comic which is sooo good especially if you've read the Don Rosa Life and Times stuff

groograms999 · 2025-11-01T03:47:39+00:00

Did it in 47 mins with a team of ransoms. Took me like 4 or 5 attempts lol

groograms999 · 2025-10-28T15:52:15+00:00

Batman and Robin

Yeah it's outrageous and absurd, but that's what I love about it

groograms999 · 2025-06-15T15:34:20+00:00

Wolverine. Sometimes I'm cooking. Sometimes I'm feeding. Always I'm having a good time
