Waid tends to yell fire a lot, I'd like to see some sort of confirmation that he's actually banned other than his assumption that he's banned.

Isn't Waid the same person that spends a quarter of his time arguing about how terrible DC and its management are? And then he's surprised when they, gasp, don't like him much?

It turns out, the Flash collection is only delayed, diamond screwed up somewhere.

I bought 5 books this week and overspent! They had better all be worth it DC. Let us do a break down. Detective comics #936 was the best of the week. Should have seen the reveal coming. The art was great. I still love this team too. Nightwing: Rebirth was a good read and the art was decent. I've never read a Nightwing comic and frankly this was a good first comic. I'm onboard. Action Comics #959 was a good read. The art was also solid. I'm really liking this Lex still and pray he continues to be a hero. The dynamic duo of Superman and Lex is actually interesting. Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps has amazing art and the story was solid. The GLC books were always some of my favorite reads and I hope after Hal finds the corps it becomes a larger ensemble cast. I enjoyed the first issue. The Flash #2 was the weakest this week. The story was better, so was the art. My problem is I just don't care what is happening. I'm still on board since it hasn't had an out right stinker.

New Super Man #1 was actually really good with a totally unlikable lead character and I can't recommend it enough.

Rhyno posted:New Super Man #1 was actually really good with a totally unlikable lead character and I can't recommend it enough. From the reactions here, I went in expecting a racist caricature bullyfest, and... was actually pretty entertained. I was interested in the different take from the get-go in the previews a while back, and I'm sure I'll keep with it for some time at least. But come on, DC. Where the hell is the (rest of the) Great Ten? I think the last I remember of August General in Iron was in the JLI annual, but I think that's it for their members that I can recall. I have an odd soft spot for non-NA-based hero teams.

I mean, I do have a big of a soft spot for the Great Ten, but it seems to me they'd fit the bill of "racist caricature bullyfest" pretty soundly.  Browsed Hal Jordan and the GLC. Not bad...surprised to see the emotional spectrum is still kicking around, doing...something. They've been so low-profile lately that I'd half-expected them to never show up again. Nice to see Kyle again, if briefly. Sucks that he's back in the mega-generic White Lantern duds and not the incredibly awesome costume he had in Omega Men, but maybe it means Omega Men will be ignored, which is nice. (yeah yeah I know everyone liked it. Meh.)

I have high expectations for Shade the Changing Girl, even if the original did go off the rails and start sucking after awhile. Raven looks hella neat. All it needs is "in her all new totally emo series!"

Not only is Dr. Fate still not canceled, it's being drawn by Brendan McCarthy. Paul Levitz has to have some serious dirt on DC execs right now.

Frank Cho's leaving the Wonder Woman covers job over issues with Rucka, so I guess expect tons more childish covers with Diana yelling "Outrage!" on them.
