Yeah, it's hard to follow on a month to month basis for me, which is probably the problem. It's nowhere near as bad as this current arc in Batman though, which I genuinely have no idea if the issues are part of the same arc or not at this point.

George Pérez announces retirement from comics. Pérez goes on to announce he will no longer be completing commissions, and that 2019 will be his final year making a full slate of convention appearances, though he will continue to annually attend DragonCon and FetishCon.

Was his big gig the N52 launch Superman? e: Looks like it was 'Sirens' for Boom. The Heroes In Crisis #8 solicit is out and I have no idea if what we're seeing is hopeful or sinister, but the series may actually have given Wally fans something to get happy about.  quote:You’ve seen all the clues. You’ve heard the testimony and eavesdropped on the secret confessions of the World’s Greatest Super Heroes. Now, with the killer revealed, it’s time to find out why. Rifts will form between old allies, and the trinity of Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman will have their leadership challenged and will question their own judgment. Sanctuary has become something they never imagined…and it’s still potentially carrying on without them My guess from before about the place somehow making their VR therapy sessions real might be backed up. So, Sanctuary basically turned into a wish machine and I suppose that means it can all be reversed. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 23:44 on Jan 19, 2019 |

Hi-C 7's cover is Superman pushing Booster and Harley apart and maybe yelling at someone else in our direction. What's that got to do with Wally?

A red hairing, my good sir! I remembered that cover, but not that it was for #7, and DC's got Gerads' Superman one on their page for the issue. edit: And it was solicited a while ago, so no need to spoiler

In my uneducated opinion while reading nothing about HiC: Identity Crisis Harder, Wally will be found guilty and be put in a mind prison that has him dream that he's back with his wife and kids, only whenever he's broken out he goes on a murder spree calling himself, Zoom, or Reverse Flash, or whatever new speed villain name they come up with wanting only to be put back in the dream state so he can be with his "family" again because the world is poo poo and they can't have Kyle have any friends.

For some reason I love superheroes using suits, so I hope Red Hood drops the hood and just wears that suit from now on, even if it makes no sense.

It does kind of suck that Kyle and Wally haven't met since Rebirth started. They were best buds in the JL since Dick was never around.

Dark_Tzitzimine posted:The entire catalog for April was leaked in 4chan I don't expect it to last more than another arc, but that's awesome. Can we get a link to the solicits? e: BC has it https://www.bleedingcool.com/2019/01/19/dc-comics-april-2019-solicitations-leaked/ Big new thing is a Deathstroke/Teen Titans crossover. I'm not interested in Adam Glass' Titans and with Deathstroke ending at 50, this seems like a waste of time. Guess I'll try it. Nightwing's new emergency writer is Dan Jurgens. It's still amazing how terrible Ric looks. Amanda Conner interiors for Batman, which shockingly looks like a light and fun issue. Scooby Apocalypse finally ends. I'm already not looking forward to the future of Det because of Arkham Knight, but the way Brad Walker draws Batman's eye protection as shiny in the art for #1002 adds to that.  Eww,It looks like Dial H is completely dumping the mythology from the last series since the world behind the dial is called the "phone zone" now. Mitch Gerads' Flash variants look amazing.   The second one's a bit Alex RossyI like that Young Justice specifies that it's in continuity in the #4 solicit. I bet Bendis requested that after getting asked constantly on Twitter.

The last time Priest did a Deathstroke/TT crossover it was arguably the worst comic of Rebirth so good luck on that one.

https://twitter.com/CertainshadesL/status/1086712802558005248?s=19 (Related pics further down in linked thread) This and the recurring deaths of Halo in YJ:O are making me think DC's editors need a tighter content guideline than "depict whatever you want as long as it can be undone," at least in media aimed at families in WalMart. Sheriff of Babylon, Batman, and Mister Miracle (and probably Hi-C from the looks of it) all went the "life is an endless hellscape but escapism keeps the demons at bay" route. Now Superman is plagued with graphic worries. Can we shackle him to Tim Seeley for quality control or something?

Are they aimed at families/kids? There doesn't seem to be an age suggestion on the front cover, but all the reprints look like they're from T rated stuff (or what would be with the old GL/GA) If it's something inherent to putting a comic in Walmart, the upcoming Swamp Thing series is probably a bad idea. site posted:Wish i could say i was shocked but tom seems to have a thing for murdering women in his books, or at least it feels like it I can think of Granny in MM and Ivy in HI-C, which we haven't even seen yet. I'm sure there's more, but that doesn't seem to be a particular thing. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Jan 20, 2019 |

It's inherent to Wal-Mart. If you put superhero comics in Wal-Mart, kids are going to want them. If you're putting T-rated stuff in them, that should be indicated.

Even beyond the "won't someone think of the children!!" angle, that might not be the content you want in a title intended to appeal to people who wouldn't normally buy comics in a comic shop.

I'm more impressed that I had pretty much forgotten that DC was doing those Walmart 100 Page Giants with "exclusive stories by our top talents!" or whatever, and that there's basically zero coverage of any of the exclusive material prior to The Lois Lane Defender getting mad about this one.

There was coverage of the next round of titles just yesterday. Seeing bits of Nick Derington's Batman every now and then makes me jealous that we don't have Walmarts here. I guess if they're just at #7, collections are still half a year away.

You know against my better judgment I thought for a second manybe it was just a funny gag people were taking too seriously, of course being Tom King I should have known better, but then I opened the twitter thread to see panels of Lois being shot in the head, crushed, eaten, and set on fire. Definitely not a book a kid should be reading. Also something I’m not interested in reading.

I wonder why people would buy comic books for their children when the comics are nestled among pokemon cards, marvel funkos, and other nerd bric-à-brac. This is obviously on the consumer.

I really do think that's weird.

Pretty glad that I don't read any DC comics anymore. I've dropped off on reading a lot, actually, but I'm at the point where the real world is lovely enough that I don't want to read misery porn anymore. Those pages posted were gross as gently caress.

I think Tom King's fantastic, and I hope to be reading comics written by him for a long time, but yeah maybe a Superman comic aimed at new readers isn't the best spot to put him and/or the editors should more tightly police him when he's not working in obscure corners of their universe like Vision or Mister Miracle where they can afford to give him more creative freedom. I've liked his Batman though, outside of issue 50 (which is admittedly a bit like the old joke 'other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?')
