undressing someone and taking pictures of their naked body without their consent is fuckin sexual assault full stop period. You don't literally have to get penetrated for rape to occur.

Travis343 posted:

Robin: Son of Batman is going to be the poo poo.

Johnny Quest meets How to Meet Your Dragon is probably the single greatest pitch for a Big 2 book I've heard in years.

Anyway in a desperate attempt to keep this thread from consisting entirely of screaming at morons, I think I'm the only one so far who's expressed any interest in Lost Army. The Green Lantern books have been on the downswing since Johns stepped off, with the exception of Red Lantern and Sinestro, but I'm actually pretty sold on this particular book. It's definitely the kind of book that only someone who's already into Green Lantern could possibly want to read, but the pitch sounds exactly like DnA's Legion Lost and I'm pretty loving okay with that. Jesus Saiz is also hot off of his career defining work on Swamp Thing, so that's cool too.

DC thought they could keep up Johns' good will on GL by trying to match his plotting style and perpetual high stakes without a single quiet moment, but they've completely hosed that up. Taking some time to strip the series down and go in a different direction with a limited story concept is exactly what these books need.

I really love the music video they put out recently. It captures the feel of the east coast "party" rap that influenced the original game so well.

I rebooted the thread to ride the July announcement positivity waves. It worked pretty well till now.
I'd almost forgotten how difficult it had been to post about DC (e: Not that they have had anything else going on in the last two days other than Convergence variant covers.)

I've been skipping over cover discussion, so I'm still just happy he got this done.

Prez looks pretty rad. Has that team done anything else? I'm holding out hope for the Dr. Fate book, because the artist is amazing, and Paul Levitz is ok sometimes. Green Arrow has classically been my favorite DC character, but I've come to accept that he died in the old 52, never to be seen again. I'm cautiously hopeful about Hellblazer, even though some of the creator's comments about his design didn't sit well with me.

I did, and honestly it read REAL close to Brubaker/Fraction's Iron Fist story, what with all the noir-ish secret martial art societies running around, so I quit after the first few issues. I can honestly say I've not yet read anything by Lemire that I actually enjoyed.

Consistent branding within a family (like Justice League, or X-Men) is a good thing (when applicable--offshoot titles that do their own crazy things can go nuts) and I look forward to seeing how the other titles slot in. However, that "A" is just too dang small. Up it 25% more, and then we've got something.

Yeah it just sucks that this is the end of Geoff Johns superman run. He gets him. This new development also looks to be short for the world, as I like the idea of Jimmy being the only person who knows Clark is Superman.
