Jurgens is not going to blow you away, but he writes a solid and enjoyable comic book.

Mediocrity is the worst kind of bad, especially in an age where really incredible stuff is always available. Anything not setting your senses on fire is a waste of money and time.

I mean Justice Leauge certainly doesn't light my senses on fire every issue anymore. I read it because it's mental comfort food.

I liked Jurgens' run on Teen Titans, it's a pretty underrated run that unfortunately never really got off the ground. Otherwise, I haven't read anything particularly great from him, but he's definitely not a terrible writer I think.

Worse than when McKeever was scripting editorially-mandated stories with "THIS MONTH...A TITAN DIES!!!" every other month?

Super glad to have Nightwing back. I kept expecting Bruce to be a dick at some point, but he never did and that's great. I love Bat Dad way more than "Hey, you've got something on your tooth" *backhands across the room*

I was just talking to someone the other day about how I'd like to see a new book with Adam Strange during Rebirth as that's an underused character that I really like at times. And then lo and behold today DC announces a new Adam Strange mini. Two problems though. It's a Hawkman teamup and Hawkman is the worst. And it's written by Marc Andreyko who I do not enjoy at all. I'm going to stop wishing for things.

Did you read Justice League United? e: There's a new Deadman mini too http://comicsalliance.com/deadman-dark-mansion-of-forbidden-love-vaughn-medina-exclusive/ quote:A young woman with a conflicted heart and the ability to see ghosts, Berenice lives with her boyfriend, Nathan, in a grand mansion in New England but is growing closer and closer to her best friend, Sam. As she struggles with her heart’s desire, a dark presence settles over the mansion, drawing the attention of the ghostly superhero Deadman. As Berenice and Deadman seek to free the house and its inhabitants of Adelia Whitehall (known as the Darkness) vengeful rage, more disturbing and sinister secrets emerge, leaving Berenice in grave danger.

Travis343 posted:It is just astonishing how little has happened in Action Comics compared to Detective Comics. Like I have read all three issues of Action and I feel like the entire story thus far is maybe one issues worth. I should really give it up, I've never liked Dan Jurgens. I just wanted to be all in for classic superman this time around. While I'm still enjoying both Superman titles, Action is feeling like Dragonball Z with its drawn out fights. Did anyone else get a messed up copy of Flash? I have no ending pages, it only repeats a couple of pages.

As for Adam Strange I always liked the idea of him more than most executions. Dude is pretty much DC's Buck Rodgers/John Carter mashup and should be treated as such.

Back when I was getting into DC, going through the Crisises and their tie-ins, I still remember quitting hard on the first issue of the Adam Strange war mini. I can't remember if it was the quality or just that I had no idea what I was reading.

Shop had no extra Nightwing or Titans Rebirth copies. Either of them worth tracking down or just wait for the regular titles? Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps Rebirth 1 was loads better than the regular Green Lanterns book. Also I'm pretty sure that's in the running for longest title length.

Nightwing is okay. It's mostly Dick and Damian palling around.

Heathen posted:Shop had no extra Nightwing or Titans Rebirth copies. Either of them worth tracking down or just wait for the regular titles? Like the other Rebirth issues they're mostly tying up loose ends and setting up the story going forward. Nightwing was pretty good as a fan of the characters involved and left me thinking the series is probably going to be great.

One had the full backing of the EiC and the rest of DC editorial and marketing, the other was barely pushed after the initial announcement, and guess which told a decent story?
