Artemis does rule. I am pretty curious what is still canon with her considering how hosed up the Amazon situation has been for the last few years.

No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.
Yeah no I dropped Red Hood after issue 4. Just can't get into it. Same with Superwoman and Supergirl.

I dropped it at the Rebirth issue. Everything posted since has done nothing to convince me otherwise that it was a bad idea.

Is there no new Doom Patrol in March?

I keep meaning to drop Superwoman and girl but they got me with their stupid double shipping. I'm like "ok well I'll just see how this arc ends, won't be long".

Action Comics sure was a double shipping comic that felt like a huge weight lifted when quit.

Only, I'll need to buy two more issues for the crossover :/

They ship once a month. The story arc in Superwoman is alright. I just need to jettison some books since I'm picking up a few Marvel books.

The art and story on Supergirl is just hideous. I can't do it. No interest.

I can see disliking the story on Supergirl, but I thought the art was great, very simple and cartoony without veering into silly, kind of in the Kirby/Timm/Cooke vein with a touch of fashion drawings, though maybe that's just the colouring?

(I actually like the story but then I've been into the new Supergirl's twist of the story by having her actually be homesick since the first New 52 arc, which I loved.)

The single-shipping actually does make Superwoman an easier rationalisation to myself, though. "It's only £2 a month, I've spent way more on much worse poo poo". If it double-shipped I'd probably have bowed out around about where I bailed on Action.

One of the best thing to come out of Arrow and Cave Carson is the possibility of widely available Wild Dog merch.

The first volume of LoWW is already finished. It's out now in hardcover format. Get it while it's hot! See what this riveting controversy is all about! You know you want to! :downs:

The second volume, which they had recently started working on, is the one that's canceled.

Yeah I would be more forgiving of DC's decision if the above wasn't true. Dillon is an asshat but have a discussion with him about his behavior. Just dropping them with no warning isn't very professional on their part.

So, as issue 8 Scalera will stop doing Variants for the title, being replaced by Guillem March

quote:

I'm proud to announce that I'll take care of the variant covers for the book RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS, brought to you by DC Entertainment. I'm more than excited because I've been out of American comics for a while, so I'm ready to rock these covers! The pic is a small portion of the first one. #dccomics #redhood #batman #gotham #jasontodd

I'll miss Scalera but March is off to a fantastic start

I bought Justice League vs Suicide Squad on a whim, and I'm impressed that it wasn't a pile of rear end. I guess it helps that unlike the hero vs hero stuff of Marvel's events, these guys don't need much of a reason to fight each other.

Raven was mediocre. I was hoping to finally get some really good content with her again, but the more I read it, the more I come to the conclusion that George Perez was probably the bigger reason why New Teen Titans was as good as it was.

Superman was good as expected, I enjoyed the Frankenstein family as a bit of a foil to Superman's family.

The checklist doesn't say anything besides Justice League and Suicide Squad are getting tie-in issues, though a bit of it showed up in Batman #13 but it wasn't vital or anything.
