Speak posted:I'm in. It's insane the whiplash you can get from seeing a headline/opening paragraph of "ugh, come on who could care" to hitting Tom Taylor's name and instantly being all in. Also X-O is right, suit kicks rear end. I like it because it has a light touch of the New 52 suit, but then the way the cape stretches onto the shoulder pads and the S is a little warped make me think just a tad of DC 1,000,000 Superman.

Bendis already did that by aging him up. Taylor will save him. As long as DC doesn't do something stu... poo poo.

I never read those comics but I bet superman will be a great carpenter. Doubt he’d even have to measure once, and imagine the woodburnt art.

Of course Superman would be a great carpenter, he's a Jesus metaphor.

Jesus as a carpenter is one of my favorite Bible mistranslations. Because as we all know Israel was teeming with wooden houses right?

I really want Taylor (or someone even) to latch on to the Man Of Tomorrow name for Jon. The whole next generation and the Legion thing makes it the perfect one of the Superman sobriquets to give him.

Just some good classic style stories. It is an 8 issue limited series. Dan just wrote that big booster side story book. It was good.

No comic revolving around social media should be written by someone over 35 which is probably also the age Dan Jurgens was at when he wrote his last good book

I know Dan Jurgens is past his prime and has put out some real stinkers, but I still can't help but enjoy his stuff. It's generally solid and comfy junk food comics.

Mr Hootington posted:Dan just wrote that big booster side story book. It was good. which honestly sums up my impression of jurgens pretty well (i'm pretty much only familiar with his post-2006 DC work, but i'm hard pressed to think of anything he's written in that period I found enjoyable or even memorable)

Dan Jurgens created Booster Gold, he can write him doing whatever he wants and I'll probably be there for it. Dan Jurgens is one of those writers that even with his missteps has already earned a lifetime pass from me. I mean I made it through his Thor, I can make it through this.

When I was a little kid in CCD we had to draw something Jesus would have made out of wood in Joseph's workshop and I drew a Wolverine car with claws that shot out of the hood and I got mildly yelled at in a way that I've never forgiven myself for.

They also announced a Shazam 4-issue limited series for July and hot drat I love this variant cover, it reminds me of The Lighthouse. DC is starting to get weird again and I love it.

That's a cool homage to a really great Doré! I don't have much of an idea about what recent Shazam stories have been all about but this definitely has me intrigued.

That looks less like an homage and more like "Hey I bet a Shazam would look better on this cool rear end piece of art." Gonna be honest, the cover artist could've tried a little harder to make Shazam look he wasn't just scotch taped onto an existing piece.

I understand they wanted to make Shazam the focal point, but the lighting is way off. Maybe rework the shading, and have his lightning bolt light him from the front.

Nightwing was fine; I love the art and his relationship with Babs, but the whole Bludhaven/Zucco plot is not catching me yet. Still will keep on reading it (though I forgot that DC didn't relaunch the book and wasted some time looking for a Nightwing (2021) run, instead of just continuing from his Rebirth volume.

Dan Jurgens will always be how I define what Superman is supposed to look like in my head. He is past his prime but he still gets extremely excited about whatever he is writing.

The fist Rebirth series would be great to jump on, but I'd stop when it gets to the Bendis run and then kinda avoid him in general. Ol' Swampy and Animal Man haven't had ongoings since the New 52, but they've popped up in small things. Poison ivy is a protector of the green now too, I believe, so that's cool.
