Because some good characters are in the book that you might like? Unless you only like Superman or the Green Lanterns it should have some DC character you like in this issue. I don't know what you like, I'm not your mother.

The only thing I don't like in titans is speedy's costume and design.

We had a nice discussion about what's still missing from DC at this point and after much thought all I'm really missing is Kon-El/Conner. I know we have Jon now and he's fantastic but I was 14 years old when "my" Superboy debuted and I would love it if DC could find a way to bring him back and slot him into the Superman family.

And no, New 52 Superboy isn't the same.

I'm not gonna be entirely satisfied until the status quo is closer to late 80s/early 90s DC. Their getting there but there is still so much work to be done.

I want my boy Impulse back, JSA, cyborg replaced with Martian Manhunter and the original Justice Leauge International characters restored with their dignity

Also it's not going to happen but I would like to see Jack Knight come back or at least a permanent new starman and also Morpheus come back (would be cool to see him battle dr manhattan)

The Death of Superman is explicitly one of the stories made canonical by the Super rear end Fusion Retcon so Kon-El has to exist which makes his absence even more confusing.

Morpheus is dead, and will not use Daniel unless okayed by Gaiman but Morrison and Geoff Johns have used them before. Also jack gave it up to Courtney at and see has been around since the beginning of 52 and as long as Geoff Johns is around ain't going anywhere.

Daniel shows up on occasion. I remember he showed up during both James Robinson and Keith Champlains JSA run briefly and Death was in Action Comics during Paul cornells run.

I'm glad I saw a Sour Grapes video when Youtubing them cause when force pushing purple girls showed up I got the reference :)
I don't get why there were originally force pushing messenger girls in the show, though.

The Snagglepuss short has a new "We committed genocide, Barney" moment of Russelism that might get some play.

If these backups really are the next lot of HB comics, it's gonna be so much stranger than the first batch.

Brother, get yourself acquainted with American Dracula/Mister President/Jim Hoft(?)'s greatest hits, most of them are of this quality.

I really have no idea why any of these Hanna Barbera comics are even being published, unless there's some marketing dude who is convinced getting a round of Twitter/AVClub blurbs about "The Flinstones committing genocide? Snaggletooth banging around with Truman Capote? Magilla Gorilla addressing campus sexual assault? THE HAIR BEAR BUNCH? MORE LIKE THE HEROIN BEAR BUNCH!" is somehow the brilliant promotional boost that will allow Boomerang to turn a profit.

Batgirl Annual was enjoyable but nothing special, but I was glad it inspired me to catch up on the series, I had fallen behind. Batgirl is just good clean fun. DC's got me having to buy some Supergirl issues for the crossover though. And I gotta buy 2 Flash, probably gonna cost more because of their stupid covers. And they're going up to 3.99 soon? Urgh. I never thought reading comics would require such budgeting logistics. Which titles do I skip, which do I wait for trades, which should I subscribe by mail and guarantee that I get at least 2 weeks late and damaged but at $2 an issue? I probably should create a spreadsheet.

The monthly goes up to 3.99 because they're including free digital codes now for those issues ala Marvel. If you don't care about physical copies though, the digital version are remaining at 2.99. Bi-Monthly is still 2.99 though I don't recall if those will get codes.

On the subject of Daniel...now that Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor are gonna boink again after thirty-ish years of non-boinks, I'd really like to see Lyta Trevor reintroduced/reinvented in some capacity.

She got such a bum deal when all was said and done, I'd like to see her get another chance at things. A Rebirth, if you will. poo poo, put her in the Supersons book. :anime:

Do you think Steve Trevor fucks as good as Superman? Wonder Woman would be like "Ok, I'm ready" and Steve would be like "I started a minute ago" but she can't even feel it cause she's used to a man of steel, not a man of flesh.

Superman's sex power doesn't come from his genital claspers Little Man of Steel, although I am sure his indefatigability gives him some advantages. No, his real power would be his Super-senses allowing him to sense and modulate his actions to synch up with exactly what a chick is into. Batman can do something similar if he has prep time.

Wow. Ok. Rewind. Undo. Reboot. Retcon. Forget I said anything.

So like the Titans Annual came out and Donna's origin still makes no sense whatsoever. Now the Finch murdergolem origin is back...except that can't be true because the whole point of this Titans book is that all these characters knew each other since they were teenagers.

Lol at this point every writer is just making up anything they want with her and saying "gently caress it." Except in this case, Abnett is the one who retconned her out of the Finch retcon in the first place so he's really retconning his own retcon.

Everyone has those characters and concepts they just can't get into. In DC for me it's Legion, Lobo, and Green Lantern. I just can't ever get into stories primarily featuring those characters. Green Lantern is like Doctor Strange in that I'm fine with him in a team book but the solo stuff just does nothing for me. Legion and Lobo are pretty much nonstarters for me.

I'm with you. The Legion is something I have never been able to get into. I wouldn't read a solo Lobo book but I have been liking JLA just fine.

You should be reading Batman though.
