Does anyone know of any good online or cloud-based comic readers. I've been trying All Comics Beta which allows you to upload your digital comics to their servers and read them online, however, I can't seem to get the optimization process to finish. I'm hoping someone in the Comic Vine community knows of a similar site.

Thanks!

I remember reading some where that the removal of Joker's face was originally part of a story that Tony Daniel was planning. Obviously, that story never materialized. Scott Snyder said at one point that when it was decided that he would take on the return of the Joker he had to incorporate Tony Daniel's story into his.

Based off their powers I would say this:

Superman

Martian Manhunter

Green Lantern

Though it seems that most stories would replace MM with WW.

I would like to think that this is actually a chance for MM to get out of the shadow of the Justice League. With his assumed prominence in the upcoming JLA book, recent interviews with (Finch or Johns?) that have stressed role of MM as both one of the most powerful and influential characters in the DCU, and the double page spread showing him taking on the entire JL solo, I think that Johns may be setting him up to be a big character outside the shadow of the Big 6.

Of course I may be lacking in my natural cynicism in that statement and this all could be as a result of the initial impetus to add diversity to the justice league.

Given that Superman was suffered some problems with fan reactions, what do you believe will set your run apart from the previous two runs on Superman?

The Ras vs. Rash thing was always confusing to me. His name is literally translated from Arabic as head of the demon with Ras meaning head.. I've studied Arabic and lived for more than a year in Yemen. I've traveled to Egypt, Saudi, Dubai, Jordan, Lebanon, Oman, and Syria. In none of those places have I ever heard some pronounce Ras as Rash. The spelling of the word in Arabic is رأس. From left to right the final character is a sin, س, which makes an English s sound. The letter which makes a sh sounds is shin which is written thus,ش . The middle letter is an alif ,أ, and makes an English elongated short a sound. Therefore the TAS pronunciation of Rash doesn't seem to fit with the phonetics of the spelling.

I will admit that he originated over 700 years ago from nomadic Bedouins so the pronunciation could have been different. However it still seems odd that Rash has become a popular pronunciation considering even in Quranic Arabic (supposedly the most well preserved form) Ras is still used.

The lack of true reboot. I don't like that we are left questioning what has happened before. I recently listened to an interview with Paul Cornell who described the initial intent of the relaunch to be a complete reboot. That is how he has encouraged fans to approach his own work and I wish that more writers had taken this approach.
