finally a wedding that won't cost me 100 bucks on the gift!!!

Sure, the wedding does feel forced and unnatural, but, damn it, DC is handling it well.

Just in case you don't know, "Takeshi's Castle" is the original name of the show that became MXC - Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. Now I gotta admit, they'd probably put together a reception you'd remember.

i personally loved the stepping stones part. man they would eat it so hard everytime they hit the fake rock...

by the way, is it just me or are there a awful large amount of corney one liners? i feel like they should get connor to play the drums everytime a joke is said, BADUM BUM, CHING!

Who knew Ollie was so internet savvy?

Yes, I can definitely say I won't be buying this. Not my cup of Earl Grey.

Lwnasidh · 09-05-2007, 08:38 AM

I can't wait for this. Finally, a book that's just meant to be fun.

Jann Jones is my hero.

Hopefully, they won't go through all of this wedding stuff just to destroy it a couple of years down the road. It'll be good to see DC get a real superhero family.

Oh my...
I've seen this at DC before.
Green Arrow is going to die.

He's one of those shoulda been dead heroes
like Donna Troy
and they have a Red Arrow

he is toast

Ah, J. Torres is a Gilmore Girls fan.

So, why was Sin crossed of the bridesmaid's list? I haven't read DC since it seemed any book could be hijacked at any moment to become the latest Countdown vehicle.

Sunspot_616 · 09-05-2007, 08:55 AM

Ollie won´t die.

Why kill someone who was ressurected a few years ago ?

BornToRun · 09-05-2007, 09:09 AM

I thought I read somewhere that there was confirmation he was ambushed and beat to near death in this issue, but that everything was gonna turn out alright?

**MattBrady** · 09-05-2007, 09:14 AM

You know, either Marvel or DC should introduce a minor character who is a superhero wedding planner. Someone who could handle security, flowers, and a guest list that could handle extra-dimensional beings if need be.

Comics this good don't come often.
If Ollie dies after this, it'll be sadder than Sue (because you knew that was coming from IDC's cover)
it'll be sadder than Ted (again, cover).
But right now the wedding thing seems like it'll just show the world how to do a wedding right (and not like.. you know... Storm and Black Panther)

To protect her from the League Of Assassins, Sin is currently in hiding.

That would actually be kinda cool, especially if it wasn't just weddings, but funerals, birthday parties, etc, sort of like Damage Control only for parties. "Well, Superboy's Bar Mitzvah is coming up, so we hired the Party Patrol to make sure Braniac doesn't show up."

He's not a wedding planner, but I think you just described Jarvis. I'm sure if an Avenger was getting married (just for fun, lets say Deathcry), Jarvis would be able to handle all the interstellar arrangements to everyone's satisfaction. That man can do it all!

coolmvm · 09-05-2007, 09:34 AM

As Much as I hate to admit it this wedding planner seems kind of insteresting.

THat is because of the fact that well it showing us how to do a superhero wedding correctly.

Now I wonder why didn't we get this when the BIG S got married ?

lordshaxl · 09-05-2007, 09:36 AM

Is this a event that is really worth caring about?

Didio put more advertisement on their wedding then the return of Wally West as the Flash and the best non event that should be DC's biggest event right now the Sinestro Corps War!

It the Storm and Black Panther marriage all over again.

Although this time it done right.

SpyGuy · 09-05-2007, 09:44 AM

Personally, I'd go with the Dragonfly Inn as the location. The arguments between Lorelai Gilmore and Michel are always entertaining and Sookie does an excellent job with the catering and wedding cake.

Illustr8r · 09-05-2007, 09:50 AM

What's wrong with her mouth on the cover? She looks like a chipmunk that got punched in the face...

That's a good one because Marvel has wasted their presents as the definitive Earth 616 power couple I however do believe seriously Storm will be reviled as a Skrull in the near future..

TheNoirPI · 09-05-2007, 09:52 AM

What the hell... Ollie seems to be inflicted by a horrible case of Olsen disease. Is he younger than his own ex-sidekick now?

We have the Thinker. The Calculator. What are odds of The Planner being a villain?

aukevin · 09-05-2007, 09:54 AM

I didn't read the Black Canary mini, I guess she said yes.
