Trast posted:DC Comics twitter just splashed up something to share your favorite Batman Beyond moments. Didn't they just killed off Terry McGinnis in the comics so they could exile Tim Drake to the future? Man, I admittedly haven't read much DC in the past few years, but every time I hear about them I'm immediately hit with some "X popular character is screwed so editor's favorite character Y can show up more" anecdote, poo poo's like clockwork. So as someone who hasn't read much comics in general, and even less DC comics, but am interested in this "everyone's back! forever! new stories with characters you might actually care about!" guff I'm vaguely interested (especially as someone who's never been particularly interested in serial hundred-issue continuity-as-thick-as-a-whale series). I don't suppose someone can rattle off a few recent good miniseries (doesn't matter if it's post or pre convergence), as well as ones that they think look promising? Preferably ones that don't require you having read multiple mediocre-to-bad miniseries beforehand to understand anything, if that wasn't obvious yet. Like, I'm fine with hitting wikipedia to understand the gist of some dude but stuff like hearing the entirety Superboy's journey towards becoming some computer goonlord (or whatever the hell Aphrodite was trying to explain to me in a videogame to persuade me that DC Is Good a while back) is, well, yuck.

Recent, like the last few years? What do you mean by miniseries? Till now with Bizarro, the only times they've really done miniseries are for big crossover event books. There was recently Multiversity, which was a lot of fun, but might be intimidating as a big metatextual exploration of the DC Universe by a crazy man. For some good completed runs from recent years where you can begin and end with one author's work: Grant Morrison's Action Comics (19 issues), Brian Azzarello's Wonder Woman (36 issues), Jeff Lemire's Animal Man (32 issues) and Green Arrow (20 issues) There are a few recent series/runs which aren't too old and are very self contained: Stewart/Fletcher's Batgirl, Gotham Academy, Grayson, Justice League 3000, Gotham by Midnight, Genevieve Valentine's Catwoman, Geoff Johns' Superman. Then all the new launching books from the OP, you'll hear are good or not in this thread all month. Most of those starting should be approachable. Use those preview comics. Manhunter ruled last week! Do you have any sort of preference? e:  https://www.comixology.com/DC-Universe-Week-2-Sale/page/6957?ref=c2l0ZS9pbmRleC9kZXNrdG9wL2xhcmdlQ2Fyb3VzZWw Batman Beyond (2010) Batman Incorporated (2012) Batman and Robin (2011) + Robin Rises Alpha + Omega Dr. Fate (1987) Green Lantern Corps (2011) Hitman #1-40 JLA (1997) #47-54 Justice League 3000 Omega Men (1983) Red Hood and the Outlaws Futures End Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 11:38 on Jun 9, 2015 |

DC opening up the whole storyboard for the writers is a good idea. Marvel's been having success with having a unified plan but still letting the writers do cool stories that may not line up with the movies. So in theory if someone wants to bring back Cass or Stephanie or whatever they should be able to. Of course Dido and the other editors could still be dicks about it and lock out characters despite this.

Cassandra Cain has been heavily hinted by Snyder and the rest of the Batman team to be coming back this year. I imagine the next Eternal, which is unofficially announced as happening, will be the gateway for that.

This week's batman was great. I loathed Death of the Family and after reflecting on it I think Endgame was pretty poo poo too but Snyder is fantastic when he's not writing Joker.

So new week, new comics. Detective was really solid, the focus on the GCPD makes it work perfectly as the companion book for Batman Suicide Squad wasn't horrible and the art was finally decent but still, it was the worst book this week. I tried to give Harley a chance but nope, isn't a book I like. Is still too random and when a Popeye ripoff showed up I had enough. Constantine was good but just like Harley its tone isn't something that I enjoy. With any luck Tynion will be a better writer when he returns to writing duties on the batman books. E2 Society tackled right of the bat all my complaints with the sneak peek and while the time jump is kind of a lazy plot device it kept me interested. An indeed, Dick's status was acknowledged and most likely will be a plot point down the line. Section Eight was really weird but not my style. Batman/Superman was pretty drat good although the fact the story keeps alluding issues that aren't out yet is driving me nuts. Defintely interested to see where Truth is going. Starfire made Kori a virtual copy of the cartoon version. Awesome for those who enjoyed that characterization but I find it incredibly irritating so thanks, but no thanks. Good art tho. Red Hood/Arsenal was amazing, Medri work feels and looks (thanks to a better work by his colorist) more polished than it looked on the sneak peek. Lobdell keeps showing how good is his grasp on the boys and delivered a solid story that is simply fun, action and banter from start to beginning. Can't wait to see what kind of problems the boys gets into.  We're off to a good start

So wait Harley Quinn is too 'random' for you but killer mimes isn't? That's the most monkey penguin cheese spork thing in this entire relaunch.

Travis343 posted:So wait Harley Quinn is too 'random' for you but killer mimes isn't? That's the most monkey penguin cheese spork thing in this entire relaunch. Because Harley lacks a straight man to bounce off all the randomness. On Red Hood, Jason fills that role neatly while in Harley everyone is nuts.

I didn't have anything in my pull box, and still spent over 30 dollars at the LCS (trades of Atomic Robo and Common Grounds.) I was tempted by Section 8, but I think I may just wait for the trade.

I had no books in my pull this week so I picked up Constantine 'cause the store owner's pushing it 'cause Rossmo's from here in Saskatoon (and then defected, like half our goddamn citizens, to Calgary). I was impressed! My first DC book since I dropped N52 Detective three issues in (not counting Purple Rain Batgirl which I haven't read) so I hope it stays this good. Has Constantine always swung both ways? Literally all I knew about him going in was that he's a British chainsmoker with a hell connection.
