Came here to talk about this. I have mostly stopped reading DC. I've been dabbling in Action Comics and paid attention to the big events/DCeased. A lot of it's just been bad thing after bad thing and this issue was hopeful. Wally is my Flash and I love the Flash family. This was great.

If I were interested in the Grant Morrison Batman run, will the Omnibusses generally have everything I'd want in that continuity? I noticed there's some missing consecutive numbers, are they necessary?

I think it says a lot about Wally that, whenever there isn't someone in charge flagrantly and actively sabotaging him, we get stories like this and DCUniverse Rebirth. Goes to show that Didio really was Wally's problem for fifteen loving years.

That's the most mediocre thing to get mad about. It's not even really out of character. We've had hints and scenes about it in other comics.

Pretty much either they kill the Joker in #100 or the whole thing will be 100 percent forgotten in 6 months. I am liking it way more than I expected, mainly because Punchline isn't too bad, but having a storyline pushed this hard having no impact whatsoever just makes people increasingly disillusioned. Bruce Wayne technically losing his fortune means nothing.

If Harley actually gets to go through with killing him, I'd say the story is a success. Until they do the inevitable JOKER IN HELL storyline afterwards.

I'd actually enjoy seeing the Joker ascend levels in hell until he becomes a rhymer, then decides he already has a gimmick and fucks off back to the mortal plane.

Joker gas Jarro and have him use telepathy to spread Jokerization to the entire Batfamily. The Batgirl Who Laughs. The Red Hood Who Laughs. The Ace The Bat Hound Who Laughs. Just cash in on the dumbest poo poo possible that Batman fans love to eat up. Everyone and everything is the Joker.

Ugh. gently caress you Bendis. Can someone just undo the ageing up of Jon and his temporary punting to the Legion. Tom King's making a Rorschach book and boy does that seem like a dumb idea. Three Jokers #2 is okay. Nothing thrilling and it seems that in this canon, Jason doesn't get picked up by the League of Assassins.

I'll admit to completely, forcibly noping out of this WW arc when the villain turned out to be Max Lord's teenage daughter who goes by the moniker "Liar Liar." Multiverse's End felt kinda weird and pointless until about halfway in and then it turned hilariously awesome. In fact, you pretty much really only need to read the latter half of the book. I don't think I've ever  ed at Owlman before

I'm enjoying it though it's definitely falling into the Bendis problem where no one has a distinct voice.

Endless Mike posted:I'm enjoying it though it's definitely falling into the Bendis problem where no one has a distinct voice. This is exactly why. Bendis is really good at solo stuff, and weak at team books. Jon has a little bit of a personality but there are so many other characters nobody matters or feels unique. Reminds me of the bulk of his New Avengers run where everyone is just Spider-Man. I love the Legion so I am sticking with it, but if you are not already a fan I wouldn't bother. Just read Young Justice or go dig out his New Avengers run and read that.
