I can't believe JBNM is returning... DU returning would make my head explode!

I'm glad we're getting NM back. Much as I'd love more DU I don't
wanna seem greedy.

Didn't Gordon Gekko say "Greed is good"?

I finished this morning to read my JBNM collection.
Yep, I had the complete set, which I bought some years ago, but I could never find any moment to dedicate to Nathan and the others (I have comic books bought in 2004 I have still to read. I miss those good old times when I was a kid and I could RE-READ! what I bought). That was a complex comic book and deserved a more serious reading.
I couldn't believe what I was reading. I mean... was this John Byrne's Next Men? My memories of early issues were of the "yeah, good, but not one of his best works".
How - I - was - wrong.
A great story featuring no superheroes, but superbeings, where superheroes aren't mocked. It turns out someone was able to do this...!
Now I can't wait to read the following issues.

I remember my friend dismissed Lab Rats because it was just like Next Men. The funny thing is, he never read Next Men.

That's a double whammy. LAB RATS isn't even close to being "just like" JBNM.

LAB RATS is perhaps my favoritest idea JB has had. It was everything comics should be nowadays. It´d make a WAY cool tv series.

The funny thing is, he never read Next Men.•• And my WONDER WOMAN was "just like" my SHE-HULK, my DOOM PATROL was "just like" my FANTASTIC FOUR, etc, etc. As Roger Stern noted many a moon ago, some fans lack the imagination to really see ways of doing anything different with concepts that might seem similar at first blush, so they assume the writers and artists won't be able to do anything different either. This is much the same mentality that reads Part One of a story and assumes the talent is going to screw up because they, the readers, cannot figure out what the second part will be.

…I have not been in a comic store in a while, it's too far to drive to on a regular bases.•• And some people wonder why comics are dying!
*** If only someone could convince Starbucks to carry Comics, I would be there every day!

Thomas, that's actually not such a bad idea ! At least for the mainstream "adult" lines, like Vertigo...

If I were a Bill Gates type I think I would try to open a chain of comic stores directly next door to Starbucks whenever possible.
