Thanks, I'll keep checking it out. Not sure about the webtoon, that tends to not be my thing, but who knows, this is a very long weekend

I really enjoyed Batgirls but I would agree that being shackled to fear state at the beginning did it no favors and the villains are largely uninteresting. You're there for the Cass/Steph dynamic Spoilers for a later arc you can return to I thought the Lazarus event tie in part was even more egregiously bad tbh. felt pretty Marvel in how unnecessary it was for this particular book E: Wayne family adventures is fantastic site fucked around with this message at 04:25 on Jul 2, 2023 |

I am super behind, but I will also recommend Wayne Family Adventures. It's just delightful.

Batgirls gets better. I think all the Fear State stuff sucked everywhere, honestly. But I think after the first arc, Batgirls hits its stride and is consistently great.

Batgirls does stumble I think not with the Fear State stuff but focusing more on Babs than Cass and Steph at the start but they right that wrong soon enough.

Latest issue of Peacemaker Tries Hard is pretty decent. Kinda wish they'd gotten permission to use Robert Patrick's likeness as it wastes Steve Pugh's great character art. Towards the end there's a reveal that delighted me as it brings back someone I haven't seen since the All-Star Squadron days.. His parole officer is the Red Bee, the jar of honey should have tipped everyone off..

I'm perpetually behind on comics so bear with me as I'm going to discuss something that's probably been known for a while. I've never liked Green Lantern but I loved Jeremy Adams' run on Flash so I decided to give his Green Lantern a shot solely because he's writing it. I've really liked the first two issues but I get to the end and it says next issue is Knight Terrors Green Lantern #1. Looking into it I see that DC is basically replacing all of their books for two months with this crossover. DC is in the middle of relaunching a bunch of titles, whose bright idea was it to upend these relaunches right off the bat with a dumb crossover? I'm loving a lot of these Dawn of DC books but it just seems like a real momentum killer to do this right now. What even is this crossover about? I'm assuming some of you that are ahead of me have already read some of it. Is it worth interrupting the flow of all these books so early in their runs? Also I just finished reading DCeased and all of its followups. Goddamn Tom Taylor might be my favorite writer. Never seen a guy just continually taking a concept I was not on board with and just knocking it out of the goddamn park. I actually teared up at the end with Damian and Jon. Tom Taylor is so loving good.

Issue #4 of that new Superboy book sucked. How is the wildcats book? It is only up to issue #3 on infinite so was thinking about catching up.

Luckily if you have infinite you don't really have to worry and can just read them.

Knight Terrors is something to do with Damian and maybe Dr Destiny, I think? Everyone gets pulled into the Dream Realm and into a nightmare world and even money it ends with Daniel/Dream Endless-ex-machina-ing everything back to normal.

It's fun trash. They're set in a not quite DC universe (Superman is there, though it's not the main universe) and it has multiverse BS but it's been fun so far.

I am gonna be a bit mad if he actually has Hal and Carol hook up, because she's been SUPER explicit about telling him to gently caress off and the thing he did last issue with using the ring to lock her BF in the bathroom is pretty messed up.

Madkal posted:Didn't I mention something about Contagion being better than Legacy because Legacy really sucked Legacy started out strong until out of character Ras, talia, and Bane showed up. My favorite part is at the beginning talking about the death toll of the Clench and the comics really don't peg it down very well. It is somewhere between a couple thousand and a couple hundred thousand. Plus it is mentioned off-hand that Gotham has been depopulated due to clench and people fleeing the city. I think it is mentioned Gotham only has 3-4 million residents left and that half the city is empty now. In like a year comic time No Man's land happens so idk how you square this hole.

Gotham is probably the most cursed city in the DCU. Between every villain taking over the city and killing off the equivalent of a small rural town, a plague that wipes out....well....a lot of people, a follow up plague that tries to kill off those that didn't die the first time, an earthquake that kills off more and turns the whole city into a Mad Max world and so on. It's amusing that people would still live there. Maybe Bruce secretly set up a UBI fund for Gotham just to bribe people to stay.

There was a period in the late 1990s where Gotham was simultaneously subjected to DC crossover catastrophes (Underworld Unleashed, Final Night, etc.), Bat-book crossover events (Contagion, Legacy, Cataclysm/No Man's Land, etc.), and whatever was going on the week-to-week churn of Bat titles (serial killers, mad bombers, supervillain attacks, etc.). It really made you wonder why anyone lived there at all.
