Yeah, he was the one raised from infancy by wills carrion birds in Mongolia who then returned to America where he impersonated a senator who was coincidentally his exact double or something like that, wasn't he? Good thing those birds taught him how to read and write.

WickedHate posted:Hey, I didn't know that, neato. It hasn't been explicitly stated in the book, but at one point he's like, changing into his costume in an alley and he's wearing what looks like a binder but could conceivably have been just a weird tank top. But then someone asked Erica Henderson and she confirmed it was a binder and KB was trans. Way back when USG started someone asked Ryan North if USG was trans herself and he said no but there is a trans char in the book, so it's been planned since the beginning.

I read brightest day while that was going on, and I enjoyed Deadman quite a bit in that. but haven't kept up with DC much since. Is he currently kicking around in any books? Anything pre Brightest day worth checking out?

Deadman's arc was the only good part of Brightest Day. Especially the issue with his granddad.

Anything pre Brightest day worth checking out? there is this weird romance/ghost story with deadman that is coming out as a mini. The art is gorgeous, but I do not know if anyone here read it. The book is a bit pricey since it is prestige format.

Space Fish posted:Lobo getting into the JLA set off some Poison Ivy fans I guess And fact is... yeah Ivy just doesn't have the same selling ability as Harley. People love Harley and Ivy together, as a duo, but Ivy alone doesn't get people excited. I wouldn't call her obscure, she's definitely among the most recognizable Batman villains, but DC has kind of kept her in that same niche of being Harley's straight-man since the BTAS days. Like how Mr. Freeze isn't allowed to move past his origin story, Ivy can't escape Harley's shadow ever since she was put there by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini. poo poo not even loving Catwoman has the same selling ability anymore in comparison to Harley, and that's a major deal - it's very noticeable that she was one of the only Batman characters to have a new52 title that didn't get a Rebirth relaunch. The only characters Harley can't overshadow are Batman and Joker, though the latter is debatable at this point since there's clearly a good amount of fatigue over Joker stories. If DC isn't doing a Catwoman ongoing, the likelihood of another Ivy one anytime soon is very slim.

I'm way backlogged after about a month of buying around 20 comics each week, but I just read Teen Titans #1 on the shitter and it was great! That was after hating the Rebirth issue too. If anyone else quit on it, give #1 a go.

DC will be holding prices at $2.99 and maintaining bi-monthly releases through 2017 with the exception of one to four titles edit: looks fixed now. OhFunny fucked around with this message at 05:32 on Oct 30, 2016 |

My poor wallet. I'm going to guess that the most likely comics to go back to monthly before then will be Cyborg and Deathstroke.

American Dracula would you care to make any sort of comment on the lengthy response I gave to your THE RAY AIN'T NO QUEER, STUPID FOCUS GROUP MEDIA CONTROLLING OUR COMICS post, or are you pretending that never happened? Also I submit to you a young poster from our early days, Delta_Assault. Here are some chat logs: code:

I was really hoping that DC was going to cut the double shipping at the end of the year. I'll probably cut back to only four double shipping books if that's the case. I'm getting tired of it and very few of the books I'm reading are making double shipping worth it.

They heavily hinted to retailers that the double shipping would last at least until the books hit #25.

Dbl shipping rules. Gimme Superman as fast as you can make it, please. I don't think there's anything I'm reading that I wouldn't want coming out quicker than monthly. It'd lead me to quitting more stuff cause I read too much already and couldn't keep up, but a month is pushing it for my stupid memory.

Technically I'm pretty sure Ivy is bisexual, or pansexual if only because that's closer to "plantsexual".

Unless any of the current double shipping books change creative teams, I will be sticking with the 5 I buy. They really do hurt my ability to buy other niche books that dc puts out.

I'll stick with Superman, Green Arrow, Detective Comics, and Action Comics. I'll probably drop Flash, Nightwing, and Batman. Honestly I'd be close to dropping those three if they were monthly anyway as they're not doing much for me. I've already gone to just getting t the evens of Wonder Woman. The only other books I'll probably stick with are Supergirl, Superwoman, and Trinity but they're all monthly.

I like the double shipping because I'm impatient as poo poo, but also hate it because it limits the amount of different comics I can buy, and I don't want to drop any of them.

I'm happy for double shipped books. As someone who hates waiting for stuff and enjoy's his weekly Manga updates Bi-Weekly comics are a pointed Good Thing. And it gives me less time to fall out of interest and gravitate to something else.
