I was just thinking the other day that I miss the 80-page giants even though they rarely had more than a single good story. Really curious to see how this talent program works out for DC, there's a promising amount of women attached to this already.

Do the 32 page $3.99 comics actually have 32 pages of comic? Or is it standard size with ads to pad out?

Plus, the conclusion of Rise of the Batmen (if you're not reading Detective, you're missing out!). Anything coming out tomorrow anybody really looking forward to? I admit Son of Superman and Rise of the Batmen are making me feel like a pimply fanboy in the good way. Been a while since DC made me happy like that. And though I swore off non-Vertigo Hellblazer, I'm gonna try the new series (even though we're probably not getting the cover-teased Swamp Thing in a suit).

BB is the one series I want to be good more than any other yet it's the one I can't help but feel it will be more of a trainwreck. It has so much stacked against it, like Ted Kord being young and them making the scarab magic again for gently caress only knows why.

With this most recent issue of Nightwing I think it might legit be my favorite ongoing series right now (well, it's either that or Superman or Detective Comics). His and Raptor's relationship is just so great, I'm really digging this dude. ed: Also, how was Supergirl? Worth picking up? NieR Occomata fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Aug 24, 2016 |

If you didn't try Priest's Deathstroke last time cause of old Tony Daniels and Liefeld comics or whatever, it ruled. This week there's another one, so this week will rule.

His and Raptor's relationship is just so great, I'm really digging this dude. It was fine. Mostly table-setting to try and get as close to the TV show as they can without blatantly making it a carbon-copy. Art was pretty and Orlando has a good ear for the characters, though.

Deahstroke is great so far because it doesn't try to make him into anything other than a pretty horrible person.

Crossposting from the Digital Comics thread: It's Blue Beetle's time to shine. Definitely buy: Blue Beetle (2006-2009) - An extremely winning take on Jaime Reyes. Formerly Known As The Justice League - Humorous take on a super-team, mix with I Can't Believe It's Not The Justice League for best results. Blue & Gold (Booster Gold #0, 7-10) - The bromantic adventures of a couple of B-listers navigating the DC timeline after the events of Infinite Crisis (when Ted died). Copra's cool too, but I've been waiting for a Blue Beetle sale, and will splurge on any issues y'all want to also recommend. I'm read up on Justice League / International / America and know nothing about Extreme Justice except it looks and sounds like a big mistake. Curious about the Captain Atom "Silver Lie" story, though. Excuse me while I get hype about my Beetles!

I think its incredibly misleading that Geoff announced the new Blue Beetle series as "staring Jamie Reyes and his Mentor Ted Kord" when actually its the non-blue beetle young naive ted kord from Geoff's New 52 Justice League book and not the actual super hero Ted Kord that Geoff killed off in Countdown to Infinite Crisis. This is really another lame attempt to make Jamie a thing so that Didio can hold onto his job (See Also: Cyborg).

Damian Wayne, Batwoman, Agent Orange, Saint Walker, and just about every character Grant Morrison has cooked up in the last decade are all far superior to Jamie. Jamie just like with Jason Rusch and Ryan Choi was an attempt by Dan Didio to boost comic sales by getting a couple headlines talking about how DC is all about diversity. It was extremely forced.

Ew what. Damian and Kate Kane, I'll grant, are good characters who have been in many good books (the latter of whom appeared in the exact same diversity wave that bothers you so much). Larfleeze is a one-note gimmick and Saint Walker is lameness personified. To place their exploits in the same rank as John Rogers' incredible Blue Beetle run is insane. e: And like, I can't tell you how disappointing it is that the Lanterns representing hope throughout the galaxy turned out to be a cult of religious navel-gazers who couldn't actually do anything without Green Lanterns by their side.

Jaime has appeared as a major character in, like, all the shows. He's been in multiple cartoons, at least one live-action thing, had a pilot made or almost made for his own live-action series, is in a bunch of video games, has spin-off cartoon-only characters with their own cult followings (Black and Green Beetles), and Dou loving Hong has a Blue Beetle animated series dream project he has put together a whole pitch for, with complete character models and poo poo. Jaime already made it. He's an unambiguous success, and has penetrated enough pop media that a generation of children know and like him.

Damian Wayne is the best superhero character, period, created in the past decade (or at least top three between him, Kate Bishop, and Cindy Moon) so it'd be pretty loving surprising if Jamie Reyes was able to reach that echelon. I mean, I admit I haven't read any of his stuff but Damian, Kate, and Cindy are in that stratosphere where their mere existence in a comic book, no matter what, automatically makes that book better.

Kamala Khan is in the last decade too. And (Morrison's) Damian Wayne is 10 years old next month.

I considered it for a second but I'm actually sorta cooling on Ms Marvel. I mean it's a fantastic book but I wouldn't consider it an all-time great like Batman and Son/Hawkeye/Silk, or at least not yet. It's very much a great Spider-Man for the new millennium story but that's exactly what it is, and if it didn't have the Pakistani-American cultural perspective it'd be the definition of great but inessential reading. In contrast I feel like with Damian/Kate/Cindy there's a lot of depth to all three characters and they could (and have, with the exception of Cindy) work with any writer no matter what because their character foundations are so strong. I think Kamala would be nowhere near as popular as she is if GWW wasn't writing her, and I dunno if she'll be able to transfer from GWW's pen as easily as Damian did from Morrison's and Kate did from whoever wrote YA volume 1's.

As far as I'm aware I've read every comic he's appeared in (and that's a good hundred or so, covering three different main writers) and that's never happened. I don't necessarily disagree with your point but Damian's in that convenient position where if you don't know how to write him you just pretend he doesn't exist, like Snyder basically did for five years, and it still more or less works.

I'm a week late on this but I just got caught up reading all my comics from last week and that was one of the best weeks I've had reading DC in a long time. Green Lanterns (which I guess most people don't like, but I like a lot), Batgirl and Birds of Prey, Green Arrow (for my money, one of the best single issues since Rebirth started), Batman (can't wait to see where this goes next) and Superman. Thought they were all terrific. Superman has been stellar throughout but I give it bonus points this week for having someone ask "Why don't you just call the Justice League to deal with this?" and get an answer that actually made sense. A nice echo of Batman, where, you know, they actually had to call the JL because they were in over their heads. Hooray Rebirth!
