The poo poo they've put into the painted prototype stage is staggering. Just shelf after shelf of "ha ain't this cool? Lol we aint making it."

But most of it was a comprehensive collection of every item DCD/DCC has ever made. Hell the offices were just crammed with product. It was bonkers.

As much as I hate to admit it, the existence of a tv show where the plot is Adam Strange and HawkWoman traveling back to Grandpa-El's teen days to warn him on all the other time travelers that are coming to kill Superman before birth owns a lot

I'm just annoyed that when they decided to do a time-travel plot, Booster Gold is tied up in a movie still on the burner (put there by Greg Berlanti of all people). That and you couldn't even tell that was Adam Strange in the trailers and not yet another Jimmy Olsen or even Bibbo fuckin Bibbowski, because the design was just a white dude dressed like a pedestrian

I'm annoyed that they made a comedic show about time-traveling superhero screw-ups, led by a professional time traveler nobody believed in, with a nerdy manchild inventor who lost his company and fortune, and they weren't Booster Gold and Blue Beetle.

It's not coincidence. Byrne got both comics following a six issue miniseries too. The only difference is that he's not rebooting (as far as we know.)
edit: Or drawing. That's different.

I for one am unironically looking forward to the Kents adopting a Kryptonian who just happens to look like one of Bendis's daughters in a new take of pre-Flashpoint Lor-Zod. I wouldn't even care (much) if it turned out they were related to Kalel or Val-Zod

Jesus are we trotting out these jokes again? I swear it's like a Pavlov response. Someone posts something regarding Bendis on Superman, and then immediately we get a hot totally new zinger about how "oh man Superman but with decompression/[other Bendis writing quirk] amirite? :iamafag:" It wouldn't even be so bad if it wasn't so loving frequent.

I'm not as down on Bendis as others are, but Superman just doesn't seem like a good fit for him. We'll see how it turns out, but I can understand being wary of what he'll do.

Hmmm...
I bet it will read perfectly fine at first, with people giving particular praise to the characterisation of Superman and/or his supporting cast. But as the third arc gives way to the fourth, the story weaknesses and aimlessness really start to give way. And we'll be back at square one, with people proclaiming him The Worst Writer Ever™, when really in the grand scheme of Superman he'll probably be on the better side of middle of the road.

Yeah, Bendis will spit hot fire on a new book until he starts announcing more new projects, and it's obvious that he's putting it on the creative back burner.

Don't try to pick fights in every thread today.

edit: Seems like there'll be at least one Titans special to make up for the series' ending (like what's happening before Bendy takes over Superman and Action)
Though, they hired Adam Glass (of N52 launch Suicide Squad fame) for it for some reason.

I'd really have expected that to go to Jeff Lemire. I wonder if they already screwed up his return to DC.

I am kind of that person, but that was when Hawkman appeared in a comic called Hawkworld and it was written by Ostrander. Does that count?
