Love 'em and Loathe 'em

Clipped from Wizard Magazine:
Dork Note: I agree with all the costumes on the Loath List, but they be crazy for the Love List!
-US Agent: A sad/dark knock off of Captain America.

-Captain Britain: Alan Davis's CB was by far the best one to date. Could have done without the thigh highs though.
-Green Arrow: Still Neal Adams hands down over Mike Grell's
-Havok: He has never had a good costume. Damn those things on his head are just funny.

Thank you for getting to this important topic!
We are gonna spar on this topic...

First, where we have agreeance:
US Agent: cheap imitation costume.
Havok: the only time it worked for me was in Meltdown.

Now to where we part ways:
GREEN ARROW (shockingly): Now I love me some Neal Adams. I also love the Green Lantern/ Green Arrow books. But I cannot get behind a tank top costume with an armband & shoulder pads! I prefer the 'Longbow Hunters' design...
CAPTAIN BRITAIN: Neither costume should be on any Love List (everyone knows you can't wear white pants after Labor Day, Alan Davis! Even in Britain!).

My Love List would include: Mazzucchelli's and/or Adams' BATMAN, Gibbons' RORSCHACH, Wagner's GRENDEL, Miller's DAREDEVIL, Kelly Jones' DEADMAN (cuz it always made me laugh) and CC Beck's CAPTAIN MARVEL (sure the boots are goofy and I prefer him without the waist sash, but there is something about this design that makes me smile). Admittedly, not the most groundbreaking list...

Finally, there are so many others to add to the loathe list: SPAWN (do I have to explain this one?), IRON FIST (no costume should show navel), GUY GARDNER GREEN LANTERN (why would a GL need a life preserver anyhow?), NIGHTWING (with that horrible pony tail!), DAZZLER (is this even fair to include?), and FIRESTORM (yes, Firestorm! C'mon Dork... admit it... he looks like he should be fighting Power Rangers).

GREEN ARROW: I see your point and I poo poo on it!

CAPTAIN BRITAIN: I hear ya and can't disagree.

Your love list consists of some no brainers dude! Come on reach deeper then that Rob.

Additives to your Loathe list:

SPAWN: Nope, always hated it! Make no sense at all.

IRON FIST: So 70's so 70's 'nuff said.

GUY GARDNER GREEN LANTERN: This I like and your a hater for not.

NIGHTWING and DAZZLER: Yes!

FIRESTORM: NO F'ING WAY DUDE! His costume is sweet. And if he was a Power Ranger he would be one bad ass mofo Ranger!

Let's have your list then, "Mr. Poo Poo on others' opinions without stating his own!"

Hey! Deadman is an unusual pick for the Love List!

...by the way... I just poo poo'd on your blog because I am mature like that! ;)

I used to love the Vigilante costume. Not as impressed with it now as I once was...
