What's on your mind, Axa?
I'm still looking forward to Scooby Apocalypse. It looks like a... strange departure from tradition, but hopefully it works.

Something about hipster Shaggy seems so perfect, and I'm down for Future Quest.

One thing I liked about DCyou was the experimentation that was involved and I'm really sad to see it go with Rebirth. Instead of expanding the craziness they are doubling down on the safe stuff, and then people complain on how desperate they are.

Young Animal seems to be making up for a lot of it hopefully.

I still wish we got Tom King on Green Lanterns after his work with Omega Men though.

Jim Lee's also doing interiors for the odd issues. Philip Tan is doing the even issues.

He's not a garbage tier artist and DC gives work to worse artists, but he's definitely the highest profile bad artist I can think of offhand.

Jim Lee shouldn't be designing characters. I still think he's pretty great when he draws Batman or Superman.

He is bad in his own right, look at the recent Rebirth stuff where he's drawing other people's costumes. He is still coasting off of being the guy who drew X-Men when it was the most popular thing in the world. People remember him as a good artist because he was extremely high profile and he was good at the style that was hot at the time, where everything was shiny and had a ton of hatching lines all over everything, and he was better than other artists doing the same thing at the time.

He's pure distilled 90s, he's a holograph variant cover in human form.

I don't get this either. His 90s stuff is really Liefeldian and 90s-style bad but he doesn't draw like that anymore. I like everything he's done in the past ten or so years probably. Hush still looks great, for example.

No, because that's a much more interesting concept than the actual explanation for the new suit, if there even is one.

Well in Suicide Squad Most Wanted they had him being replaced by a black man. The way it's been handled though is pretty amusing though.

I kinda wish DC would stop trying to make Deadshot's armor look good and just make him a regular guy with a red eyepatch/eye replacement thing. Also give him a gimmick/personality more interesting than "guy with guns who shoots other guys with guns and has a sad daughter".

I think a lot of people also dislike him for going from being the guy who stood up to Marvel mistreating him in the 1990s, going off to start his own company and being wildly successful with it, to being a DC company man who had a go at other artists and writers in the early days of the New 52 when they were quitting or getting dropped and complaining about how they didn't get on with the people at DC.

The 80's mini is good and the 90's Ty Templeton written and drawn special is really good.

Kind of. Deadshot and some other sharp shooter who happens to be black (but not very Will Smith looking) were sent on a mission, but Deadshot bailed pretty early to deal with some personal poo poo. Deadshot got shot up pretty badly though, and while lying in hospital on life support the sharp shooter comes and bitches out Deadshot for stealing his origin story (as seen in some Justice League annual), and it turns out Floyd's origin is actually pretty similar to the one Ostrander gave him in the original Deadshot mini. Black sharp shooter then declares himself the new Deadshot, goes on a mission with the Suicide Squad and go of the rails and starts killing everyone.

edit: drat Batman really needs some underwear on the outside if his package is going to hang like that.
