Now that Rucka's done with WW, I'm going to read through his run. How should I read it? Odd Issues, then even issues and finish with #25?

The stories are interwoven and have lots of parallels. I believe they were intended to be read in print order.

You could definitely read them apart, and the trades are even printing the stories separately, but the stories do relate to one another.

Yeah if you're gonna read the whole run anyway then you might as well read them in publishing order. Especially the later half of the run where they tie together a lot more, it'll be confusing if you don't. Speaking of which: preview of Wonder Woman #26, with the new creative team.

I caught myself up on New-Superman and I'm really liking it. Although the solicits leading to issue 15 have me worried. Not that they wont be good issues, I'm just invested in the cast now.

I felt it was the best side story other than Secret Six going on through that poo poo show that was Infinite Crisis. ShadowPact really went in a bit weird direction afterwards, along with it's costume changes.

Finished Nightwing Rebirth Vol. 2, great stuff, but I'm going to be disappointed if Nightwing's girlfriend has already been fridged. Can anyone confirm/deny? Their date issue was terribly cute and made great use of dual-perspective flashbacks, as well as Nightwing's rolodex of allies making small talk with him while crimefighting. vv Thanks for the replies, I panicked in the moment and maybe read the chronology of that issue wrong, I just didn't want to see a strong plot thread go to waste. vv Space Fish fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Jul 6, 2017 |

Roth posted:As far as I'm aware: No I thought that was implied at the end of issue 15? Issue 15 takes place about two months after the Back to Bludhaven storyline, and seemingly ends with her death. Since then the book has fleshed out what happened in their relationship in that two month period before she was seemingly killed.

My first exposure to Fables was the Telltale games series, which made seeing the loving Big Bad Wolf praise Israel in print all the more jarring and bizarreAl Borland Corp. posted:I feel like Zionist is just one of those things you have to roll with, if it means awesome Wonder Woman movies and cheap and convenient homemade selzer water. I too think the oppression and slow obliteration of an extant population is worth an awesome Wonder Woman movie, but the one we got was a huge smelly turd whose continued critical success (it's obvious why the public is lapping it up) I chalk up to mass delusion I have no idea what the gently caress you're on about with seltzer water unless you know that the secret ingredient is Palestinian tears or something

Clark doesn't have the voice you'd expect him to have. I mean it's not to the level of things before, but it's okay for $3

This is corny as hell, but I really relate to Superman now. As a husband who's own father is gone and trying to have a child of my own, I just relate to all the things that Clark goes through in trying to teach Jonathan. When I do have a son or a daughter, I can't just call up my dad to ask for advice, but I still have all the memories that I do. It just really speaks to me.

Daddy stories speak to me, I too lost my dad and have two little girls (2.75 & 4 years), so I was really enjoying the fatherhood stuff in the early rebirth arcs.

Watching youtube stuff about Batman Beyond made me wonder if Batman Beyond: Rebirth is any good. Apparently it's Terry again, as opposed to whatever was going on after Forever Evil or something.
