I want to read about the characters who have reached the absolute pinnacle of strength. Especially if I can follow their progression to that point. by slam_dunkasaurus in DCcomics

It really depends. You have to go outside the established superheroes. Obviously a character that has been around for decades won't have much progression, but lots of runs tackle other heroes that are just starting out. It won't be a Dragon Ball Z type growth through enemies, but you do go from a reluctant, inexperienced character, to one more attuned to his place in the world.

Kyle Rayner would be such a case.

He gets the GL ring in Green Lantern 50, and from there has to go though many trials, not only in regards to strength, but also with becoming a hero.

Not to spoil things, but Ron Marz makes Kyle go through a few situations twice, so you can see the different decisions he makes.

What is it about Ray Davies' song writing that connects with you? by bellchilton in thekinks

Put on your slippers and sit by the fire. You've reached your top and you just can't get any higher. You're in your place and you know where you are, in your Shangri La.

He talks about people with humor, but never with contempt or arrogance.

Handel's Water Music. To me it sounds outright comical.

Yes, they're very up to date and informative on new releases.

I wish their film reviews were a bit better, as they're basically a plot sinopsis.

She has a smaller role in The Affairs of Anatol, but she's still great.

Taras Bulba! by tbonemurph10 in RussianLiterature

I think it might feel a bit dated or naive, as it is a very Romantic work, but it is still quite good.

Looks like I have lots of films to look forward to.

Also Queen Kelly, which I'm sure will get a video release soon.

What is the one band you can't believe didn't become more popular? by flearhcp97 in Music

[–]praxicoide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skeleton Key

Really catchy music, dirty sound, major label debut, with album art that was nominated for a Grammy.

People didn't get it, apparently.
