I just wanted to chime in and say fuuuuuuuuuuuuhuuuuhuuuuuck DC for the poo poo they pulled with Prez's second half. Which tears me up because I really want to buy Flintstones now.

Flintstones is really good. I've never really cared for the property, but you take the writer of Prez, and you get solid gold. Did DC get a big editorial shake up? Because that is an inspired choice.

Prez sold like poo poo and it's sad that they didn't just do right by propping it up till the end, but giving him another book to do his thing on that might have a better chance to sell, they must like what he does.

Sorry about your book that we did no promotion on. Would you like to write a garbage fire?

Prez got in trouble dropping over half of that right away. e: I have no idea what lost all those people on Prez #1. Unless they were just blind buying the new #1s, what did they want from it? I'd think the sort of audience who would try it in the first place would've stuck on. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 10:32 on Aug 17, 2016 |

The theory is that they were waiting to see what trade sales were like for Prez, right?

I wanted to like it, but I didn't care for the satire. It almost felt too modern, like it was trying too hard to sell itself as a reflection of the 2010s.

Mr Hootington posted:How did justice league dark end up? The Peter Milligan run is a mess with fairly cool ideas, much like most of Milligan's later work. Then Jeff Lemire shows up, and it gets pretty average, with some nice touches and an ambition he could never live up to, because it's Jeff Lemire writing a team book and that's the way these things go. By the time DeMatteis picks up the reins, I completely checked out, but the book can be described as "exceedingly workmanlike". Still, it's got some nice Mikel Janin art, from before Nightwing, which is nice.

I actually found Milligan's the best part. I enjoyed the Justice League being trapped in a teeth tornado for an arc. Supergirl Rebirth was pretty average, and there were some weird details like it being a 'few months' since she crashed on Earth, and the DEO fitting a Kryptonian Regeneration Matrix in a rocket they're blasting Kara off into the sun with, when that's exactly what PFP Superman couldn't find to bring the other Supes back to life. Also the letterer uses really distracting S's   Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 12:14 on Aug 17, 2016 |

Yeah the one thing Milligan did super well was coming up with threats for which it wouldn't make sense to send the actual Justice League. The book made a fairly strong case as to why its existence was justified in a story sense.

The Abrahms-verse comics have actually been pretty good. During the GL crossover, the Enterprise crew and Chang (from STVI!) all got power rings.

Justice League - Getting better! The big bad's cool to watch gather power, Jessica and Barry are friends  and the Superfamily is fun to watch interact with the JL especially Jonathan offering Batman a cookie.Green Lanterns - Getting worse! Latest issue almost takes place in a vacuum. Just fighting reds and reiterating their basic profiles, again. Batgirl and the Birds of Prey - The preview pages had me worried about lots of dark interior art without room to shine, but the issue itself is fine. I was looking forward to Supergirl, but based on the preview, she's still not allowed to just lead her own story and is beholden to receiving definition from everyone around her. Is that true? I've enjoyed Adventures of Supergirl for its relatively lighthearted, self-contained adventures and not getting bogged down in Kryptonian BS.

Justice League basically seems to be: everyone is lovely and useless and would all be dead right now without Superman. I've always been pretty meh on how heavily Trinity slanted JL has been in the New 52 and this is more of the same (on top of the first two issues being garbage). I dunno, probably my first drop of Rebirth now.

Is that true? I've enjoyed Adventures of Supergirl for its relatively lighthearted, self-contained adventures and not getting bogged down in Kryptonian BS. It's very much a housekeeping issue that concerns itself more with establishing a new status quo for the character, by blending in as much of the show as they can fit. So she gets her powers back (Do I even want to know when and how she lost them?), the Danvers are her foster parents and she's super close with them even though she can't have known them for all that long, she starts to works for the DEO, but is an undercover high school student, etc. She also talks down a Kryptonian werewolf instead of punching it, so it's got that going for it. But just like the show there's some hints that legacy Kryptonian BS is going to be at play.

I'm giving Nightwing one more issue to pull itself out of the dumpster fire. Even Green Lanterns is showing some potential down the road.

howe_sam posted:Do I even want to know when and how she lost them? At the end of her last series she returned to Earth after going to some alien college, took up a civy job as a barista and started a relationship with a crippled boy. On the last page she got pricked by a pin and the thing ended going "am I becoming human?!" Nobody used that till Rebirth started rolling along and they suddenly need a regularass Supergirl instead of that plot. The DEO power restoration thing started in that last Superman crossover. Rhyno posted:Her power loss was briefly brought up in the Last Days of Superman. That's what I meant by "that last Superman crossover" which handwaved that plot point away setting up her Rebirth situation. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Aug 17, 2016 |

I did actually laugh out loud when I read the latest Superman. Probably just because it caught me by surprise. And then I felt bad about it when they made "that" line necessary.

I enjoyed the person in the Badass Panels thread not reading the paragraph of context, or the previous page where Lois finds the suit, or the "mom?" panel below that and assuming Damian became Superboy.

Well, the Sun is hot! Aquaman cooled the armor off.  What is Flash doing? Lending Speed Force to it? (Can he still do that?)
