All comicbooks readers have a favorite character. But do you agree with the way he/she is currently portrayed? Do you like it or do you think he/she is out of character, weaker than normal, not showing his/her potential etc?

I'm sorry dude. That sucks! 
 
As for me Green Arrow's new series seems to be off to a good start. I enjoyed his revenge on Prometheus and dig the Star City forest thing. Krul's stories are certainly stronger than the last year and a half of GA/BC. Issues #15-#29 or so were utterly pointless.

Rachel Summers? No.. she made her lose what is the true essence of her true character... daughter of the Phoenix... her own Phoenix Force in her grasp.

Venom's Mac Gargan, but thankfully, Mac will be Scorpion again soon! :D 
 
.... and Eddie is still Anti-Venom, who I find to be kick-@ss. So it all worked out.... kinda.

 I'm not thrilled with how the Scarlet Witch has been portrayed since they started setting up the whole House of M plot. Way to ignore all the inner strength she showed by accepting her children not being real and losing her husband. She even moved on to become a leader of the Avengers. FU Bendis for turning her into nothing but a crazy woman.

A poet once said:  

"To be discontent is to be a man."

  

Therefore some writers could have been doing a better job, or sometimes, problems and plots I could find interesting are not considered and the comics follow another direction. But in the overall I guess.

  • Superman are more or less ok.
  • Supergirl I don't know, I got to catch up
  • Wonder Woman costume change shows commitment and willingness to risck which I love, but the whole costume is way too commercial to the characher
  • Calvin & Hobbes are perfect as nothing has been made
  • Batman, well I find myself not caring for Dick as Batman and not really much interested in Bruce time travels

That's all Bendis knows how to do; make characters, that other writers have devoted years to, totally nuts.

Karma- what a year she has had after about 20 years in absolute obscurity
Dazzler-  I am so happy she has made it back on the team
Illyana Rasputin-  Glas she's back from the dead and I always loved the slightly evil Illyana over the nice one
Psylocke-  She is a new revelation for me.  I loved her before she turned asian.  She was so unsure of herself but and full of British stubbornness.  Lately she has been portrayed more in that vein and less as the cocksure assasin.

Iron-Man: Yes in his main book, not really in the Avengers. I'll buy you a pony? Really? Also he acts like making a time machine is impossible when he invented a time machine himself in Iron Man v. 3 #59.

Deadpool: more of a joker than a merc with a mouth, but pretty good, at least he shows competence time and time again
Spider-Man: he's been through a lot, and OMIT is just like pouring salt into a wound, fortunately the BND era's coming to an end

Green Lanterns/Guardians - Power-wise, Johns can't portray them well at all.
Kyle Rayner - No, he should be ION right now and his relationship should be with Jade.
Ganthet - Yes, I like the way they are handling him with his emotions and hopefully a large involvement in Emerald Warriors with Guy, just not how powerful he is.
Wally West - No, he's not getting the respect he deserves right now.
Hal Jordan - No, he has little to no emotion now and Johns needs to stop writing him like he's better than everyone else in the Corps.
Guy Gardner - Yes, I have every Guy story Pre-Rebirth and he became one of my favorites then. Now he is being handled well.
Kilowog - Should have more screen time, but I think we'll see that soon.

Every other Green Lantern - Depends on who it is, like Garmin and Torquemada need more screen time. Arisia, yes. Bzzd needs to get back.

The Joker's recent portrayal in the most recent issue of Batman and Robin was, in my opinion, fantastic.

I don't really have any favorite characters...the last one I've read was Creeper, and no, I'm not really okay with his portrayal within the last couple of years.

I'm willing to see where this goes.  You know the cancelation's just another reason for Marvel to start over and -hopefully- *dreamer here* bring him back to his glory. 
 
I'm just happy bendis isn't writing him anymore.

I'll vehemently defend the old costume, but I'm coming around to this one. It fits the story she's in right now, and the story is actually pretty good.  I don't like it as much as some of the other stuff in my collection, but it's cool.

@aztek the lost: Yeah, I guess I just can't let go of the series, but I don't think they could have had a better ending. 
" At the same time though, a new series should then go to a new writer just as Lucifer left Gaiman for Carey to define him."
Completely agree with this point as long as it's in the hands of the right writer, but Vertigo never fails to deliver in that aspect.
