I dunno if it's been noted, but someone in the costume thread noticed that there's a gang of Wild Dogs on the Green Arrow cover. e: More Comic Vine Wondercon interviews https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SRHgjfWCEA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCxYyZizVY4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg9HOc_3zuU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5ZuMYU3POE Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 05:38 on Mar 29, 2016 |

As a non-New Yorker, my mental image of Brooklyn is the same as my mental image of any given district of London. "That sure is a place in that city. Couldn't tell you the first thing about who lives in it or where it is."

Let's take it as given that one of the Supermans and one of the Lois Lanes will be shuffled offstage eventually. Post your most interesting speculations re: how. Note that "they move to Earth 2 (or any other alternate Earth)" isn't that interesting. e: And re: New Yorkchat: Every city I've ever been to, except Indianapolis, has a personality and any person who wants to dig into the humanities as an academic or a creator should travel asuch as they can afford. In my 20s, I at least drove through if not properly visited almost every state east of the Mississippi, and I've been further west (the coast, Hawaii) a few times, plus done a little international travel. I'm a better person, a better writer, and a better academic (well, was one) because of it. ee: And I still have a couple of stories from Indianapolis, even if the city itself was just a central casting Midwestern City. All travel can be good travel. Squizzle fucked around with this message at 15:44 on Mar 29, 2016 |

"It's not cheating if they're our alternate universe duplicates, Lois" But then it gets all weird, so they stop talking to each other and kind of just drift apart.

I accidentally created the word asuch when I meant as much because I mash the backspace instead of the M a lot on my phone. Superman-52 Solar Flares so hard, he converts his entire body into sunbeams, which post-Crisis Superman absorbs for power. Then the Loises do the same.

Superman challenges The Flash to a race, they both push each other near to the point of breaking the dimensional barrier, but Flash puts an arm up in front of him which obstructs Superman, causes him to stumble and trip into the Amalgam universe, never to be seen again. Everyone insists the Flash's arm was a total accident because he's an American hero and only foreigners cheat.

DC Rebirth is kicked off by a plot by the Joker to extinguish the sun. It works but then Nu52 Supes solar flares so hard he turns into the new sun. Lane then finds an old Superman costume, tailors it a bit to fit her, puts it on, and goes off to see how long she can convince people she has superpowers in Superwoman.

I have a lot of good will towards New 52 Superman and it's surprising that this thread doesn't, after a number of good runs in Action Comics (Morrison and Pak and Kuder, namely). What gives?

Oh man the art in this is so hilariously bad. Why are the gunshots coming out of the walls and floor if they're looking toward their attacks? Why does the Red Hood mask have big pouty lips and a hilariously furrowed brow? He looks like a sexy Nu52 redesign of the Red Skull.

I just saw the preorder thing on Comixology for this. I'm hoping that Harley Quinn is going to be like the loveable goofy nutbar from her solo comic but given that it looks like the same design is also being used in the Suicide Squad book (I do like the current one, I just like goofy Harley more) I'm not holding on to much hope. I don't read much DC so I don't know much detail about many of the characters but I might be tempted to pick up Harley Quinn, Suicide Squad and maybe Birds of Prey, I've never really found Batman interesting enough to get an ongoing, same with Superman. Having read 52 I am kind of sad there's no Question book.

bobkatt013 posted:The writer on Harley Quinn has not changed True enough, I guess it's probably just the Suicide Squad movie influencing the design for both, and actually going back just to look at covers in the Comixology app, the current designs are not as different as I thought.

Rhyno posted:Yeah just like the closure the DCU got prior to Fashpoint. Yeah. The might not have been the best sa-moji to use, but in the past several creative direction shifts under this leadership, DC has committed swiftly and completely. They don't seem to do a lot of closure or transitional stuff (unless that is the new direction, e.g. Convergence). While I certainly would hope they might start to offer closure this time around, or next time, or at any point—the record isn't strong. If you value closure, this isn't a good time to read superhero comics. Except the Last Days lead-ins to Secret War, I guess?

It's been working for the most part and truth told I have close to two dozen female preorders at this point. The worst are the MTG guys. We have a young player, like 12 or so who's gotten into the game over the last year and since FNM runs late his mother usually comes with him and she is stunningly pretty. So of course the idiots who don't know how to interact with a woman make lewd comments and I have to do damage control.

So if Rebirth doesn't take off, what will DC's next rebrand be? Keep the theme with DC Resurrection, go even more meat and potatoes with DC Batman and Harley, or go bold by releasing all books under Vertigo? (NOTE: I don't actually think Rebirth will be a failure at least compared to DC You, I'm mostly joking)
