Seven layoffs, half of which revealed in the article are marketing VPs and an art director. As far as we know, there doesn't seem to be anything to get excited or worried about on the comics end.

Madkal posted:Yea let's not do the whole "I don't like this one book by the creator so everything the creator has ever done is terrible". King's Sheriff of Babylon, Omega Men, Vision, and some issues of Batman have been top notch. Hot take: the two parter about Batman and Superman going on a double date is the best Batman story of the 21st century

Mark Russell does absolutely nothing for me. The earlier stuff of his left me completely unimpressed-- it had the kind of cynicism that ventriloquizes "wokeness" just through jaundiced irony but is so disaffected and cynical that it winds up advocating for nothing. Snagglepuss was one of the worst comics I read in 2018, totally lazy and insulting to me as a queer person and as a scholar of the period he was writing about. I've written about it before and I don't want to reiterate every single point again, but it was so blisteringly, scathingly sluggish and unfunny that the only conclusion I could come to was that "hey, remember the jokes about Snagglepuss being gay? They're true--- and he's got depression!" was the entirety of the joke. And that loving sucks.

If you're sick of Mark Russell's schtick, Wonder Twins looks like it's going to be a pretty breezy light comedy comic. If you're not, his Vertigo Jesus superhero thing will probably be him dialed to 11. site posted:I guess one of the people let go was well liked in the community cuz everyones talking about him this morning So, he was the person behind New Frontier, Solo, Wednesday Comics and Batman Black and White? Salute. edit: In the back matter of the latest issue of Bendis' Cover, he confirmed that he'll be writing a Leviathan event with Alex Maleev on art. quote:After DETECTIVE #1000, Alex and I will be embarking on a major DC project. It痴 called LEVIATHAN. You will soon hear a lot about it. It痴 something so big, so monumental to the DC Universe, it was worth pausing our numerous creator-owned stuff for.

Cancelled my sub for Catwoman (I was on it for Joelle Jones cartooning, not Joelle Jones writing) and Terrifics (I've been buying and not reading it for months). My DC sub list is now down to 0 books again. It seems to always go in cycles, though, so I'm sure I'll come back to them at some point.

Now we just need to get them it write a 52 part 2 with that line-up. I guess I am down to Batman, Detective, Young Justice, Green Lantern, Justice League and.....well Suicide Squad is done, and I am on the fence about Catwoman.

Bendis wrotes about a teenager, Morrison somehow works in Lobo, Johns writes a story bringing back the classic Hawkman or whatever, and King writes about Elongated Man attempting suicide once a week.

This is all stuff from 2012 on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He-Man_and_the_Masters_of_the_Universe_(2012_DC_comic) e: Weird. They left out the Injustice crossover. I guess it's because it only ended this month, but it's a bit sad to leave the omni just six issues from a complete thing. If I was gonna get this, I think I'd've been okay with a couple months delay to include it. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Jan 27, 2019 |

Hey folks - saw the first volume of the Snyder written Justice League is out. Any good? (For reference, I love his Batman run, was kinda eh on Metal. Oh, and No Justice grabbed my eye too, but I just love Manapaul痴 art.)

It's kind of a strange hybrid of Morrison-esque JLA with the DCAU version of JL. It...mostly?...works? It plays with big ideas like THIS ORB CONTAINS THE ESSENCE OF THE UNIVERSE ITSELF or something and it's like, do you actually have any idea what you're doing here my dude? And then however many issues later, whether he has any idea is still kinda up in the air.  But I've enjoyed it more than not. Snyder clearly loves these characters and their voices and personalities come across really well. If you've looked at No Justice, it's mostly just a continuation of that.

The stuff that introduced the Superfam (Convergence Superman, Lois and Clark miniseries), and the Tomasi/Gleason 'Superman' series that Super Sons broke off from are great, though.

Digital 'Tales From Outer Space' sale. https://www.comixology.com/DC-Tales-From-Outerspace-Sale/page/20697 Lots of GL and LOSH. If you're trade waiting on Snyder's new JL, the first collection's in there for $6. I nabbed the LOSH Silver Age collection.

Speaking of exactly that bullshit, today's Flash Annual #2 is really really good! Joshua Williamson is really great at mining that bit of superhero melodrama for all it's worth, while also doing some of the transition between Flash #50 and Young Justice #1, and also teasing the big bad things coming in 2019. Plus it's got Scott Kolins stretching himself and doing Mann and Gleason as well as himself in a way that's kinda nuts to look at. I get why people are pissed, really I do, but it's making for some pretty good comics.

yeah and basically it's just stating the whole thesis of the series in plain english for anyone that might have missed it, but while superman says it it cuts between Clay Mann doing pinups he's gonna sell for a gazillion based on how good they look, the plot marching ever forward towards That Bullshit, and Superman being sad while Wonder Woman is also sad, but in the back

I haven't seen anything about it yet is "That Bullshit" the thing we were told by BC months ago? That Wally is the real killer? I was really hoping they'd turn that around after the initial reception to the idea was universally bad.

Mr Hootington posted:Please post spoilers. I am laughing and rolling in this hog poo poo. Booster realizes that Wally's body is five days older than it should be through...RNA analysis? Implying that he's in some part involved in the mass slaughter of all these superheroes. Also this might be more of a personal gripe, but the way King writes Harley is incredibly insufferable. It feels like she has the mentality of a child, and it feels creepy when paired with the way Clay Mann draws women.
