Just look at the hoopla around Damian dying - if there's a serious plot twist that DC doesn't treat with that level of marketing and fanfare, it's definitely a fake out. Especially for Batman characters because DC knows they can milk stuff like that. See also: Tim "dying" in Detective.

I'd be impressed of editorial gave Priest the ok to massively change a major character in a random issue of Deathstroke.

Between that and the Terra poo poo though I don't want to catch up on Priest Deathstroke any more, though If Priest is gonna spend his time on a book settling weird scores or reinterpreting canon in lovely loving ways I don't need then yeah I'm done with the book. Especially considering it's fuckin' Deathstroke, one of DC's worst ever characters loving ever. NieR Occomata fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Jan 23, 2018 |

I just read the first three volumes of his Deathstroke and really liked it so hearing all this is a bit disappointing. e: Priest actually made me like Deathstroke.

We were just talking about yellow Batman emblems and look what pops up in the new Doomsday Clock.  Love it. Hopefully they need to incorporate it before we catch up to Doomsday's 'one year in the future' thing. Det #1000 would be a bit late. edit: It also included the perfect image to pull out when you have an unpopular positive opinion to express on a comic  ... like Doomsday Clock for instance. Handy, that. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 11:02 on Jan 24, 2018 |

Roth posted:I didn't realize the new Raven mini was going to be 12 issues long. I guess people were clamoring for more after the last Raven mini. Or maybe it's because the Teen Titans movie and tv shows are coming out. I like Raven it's just hard to imagine her holding her own for twelve issues.

https://twitter.com/Newsarama/status/956528184501161984 Oh boy. And speaking of, while previous issues of DC were entertaining enough, issue 3 kind of drove off a cliff. Comedian's return is stupid and contrived even by comic book standards, the story still makes zero sense within the context of what we know of the current DCU, Batman's behavior doesn't mesh well either with what we saw during the Button, the new Rorschach's identity is underwhelming and makes it feel like it was just put because is Rorschach. I don't know, everything just feels poorly handled and the news of the book going bi-monthly killed a lot of my interest in the series Mime continues to be the best part of the book though.

Neat, the team lineups are here. Team Mystery will apparently be Martian Manhunter, Sinestro, Superman, Starfire, and Starro. Team Entropy will be Lobo, Lex Luthor, Batman, Beast Boy, and Deathstroke. Team Wonder will be Raven, Doctor Fate, Zatanna, Wonder Woman, and Etrigan. Team Wisdom will be Harley Quinn, Cyborg, The Atom, The Flash, and Robin. Preview pics here. I have a friend who'll be very glad to see Martian Manhunter back.

catlord posted:Neat, the team lineups are here. Team Mystery and Team Wonder make sense in composition as Team Space and Team Magic respectively. Team Entropy and Team Wisdom make less sense though. Team Entropy is meant to be the detective sort of team, but Beast Boy and Lobo being on it seem really out of place other than to round out the muscle. Teams Wisdom is the Science team so Harley and Robin also don't make too much sense being part of it other than also being a sort of "muscle." If the two odd characters were switch, Team Entropy would make more sense, but be way too over loaded with Batman characters as a result, while Beast Boy and Lobo also don't fit with the Science team so

Sounds pretty cool. Lineups are a wee bit funky, but not the weirdest ones we've ever seen. What's more curious is the lack of GLs on any team (and Sinestro doesn't count obvs). Ain't cosmic threats their whole ballpark?

Batman's team is a little weird. Lex Luthor, Deathstroke, we're skewing towards baddies, which is okay. Lobo, in the JLA so yeah. Then Beast Boy. So it's like a merging of the Teen Titans and Justice League. Superman's team reminds me of the Justice League of Aliens from Justice Leagues. Maybe it's just a trick to get all the aliens off of Earth. Has Dr. Fate made a proper Rebirth appearance yet? nofather fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Jan 27, 2018 |
