Regarding Metal, it must be intentional that Batman broadcasts the letters DC to tell his friends to stay away from where he is, but I didn't enjoy the issue very much so I just thought "He's right; I should stop buying this company's comics!"

I've actually been really liking Metal and it's the only DC Comic I pick up, but wow, Batman has a lotta nerve to chastise Superman for not picking up on his incredibly esoteric coded message. Maybe next time just have the kids play Master of Puppets?

Besides Batman being a tool in that regards I really enjoyed the issue. I absolutely loved the whole bar at the end of time, and now I want a series about Nightmaster playing rock music throughout the ages (possibly to save the the world every time).

BrianWilly posted:No lie no shade, I'd really be interested in your reaction to this storyline as someone who it might actually be written for, because to me JLA at this point practically feels like a troll book that's trying to see how long it can last while being as purposely unreadable as possible. I was down with the first part because I kind of like stories where they mention characters having unseen adventures because it makes the universe seem bigger than one main story, but to have that happen over and over again just makes me think of a joke that goes on and on and on and the punchline is that it is a long meandering joke.

I'm 11 issues back so I have to wait for a sale, but the next DC 50% off I will get it. It has jumped ahead of a few other purchases I wanted. But reading the solitics makes me want to  it. The FREAKING MICROVERSE! That is a deep DC cut and right up my alley.I won't be ing it so please no probe.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, My theory is that the war has already happened and Scott is pretty much reliving it in some kind of PTSD nightmare. This is either some fantastical parting gift from Darkseid, or Scott is really just completely broken by the war .

I just found out Raven had a mini-series in 2016-2017. She's my favorite member of the Teen Titans. Is her mini-series any good?

She is my favorite character, and I liked it quite a bit. I was more interested in the supporting cast Marv Wolfman was giving her than the main plot, and that's probably never going to come up again because Raven's character is devoted to being Wally's love interest now.

Has anyone talked about the King/Eastman issue of Kamandi Challenge? It's pretty drat depressing, but ends with a really good Jack Kirby quote. I still can't get over how many good books involving Kirby characters there are right now. Mister Miracle, Bug, Black Bolt, Kamandi Challenge, and the Mighty Thor.

I loved it. They're gonna have to package up King's one-off issues one day. That'll be a great collection. That Green Lantern Darkseid War one-shot with Doc Shaner needs to be preserved and not lost to the pit of event tie-ins past. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 06:16 on Oct 14, 2017 |

That'd make a cool trade, or a digital "playlist" for people that are curious. The Brave and the Mold would have to go in there. I'd also recommend the first issue of any of his series.

More on the final Len Wein Swamp Thing story. http://ew.com/books/2017/10/13/new-swamp-thing-special-to-feature-posthumous-story-from-co-creator-len-wein/ quote:Before he died, Wein had completed the script for the first issue of a new series about the vegetation-covered monstrosity formerly known as Alec Holland, which would be illustrated by his 2016 Swamp Thing miniseries partner Kelley Jones. While we won’t ever see this series come to fruition, EW can exclusively reveal that fans will get a chance to read the first issue of the planned series in 2018 when DC Comics releases Swamp Thing Winter Special #1 (on sale Jan. 31), which will present the story in both its original script form with art by Jones. Kelley Jones and Tom King quotes in the link.

Mr Miracle is still really good but the confusing "everything is weird and not quite what it seems" approach hinders the kind of emotional investment I had with Vision.

radlum posted:Is Mr Miracle as good as Vision was? I've been trying to give it a chance. I don't think we'll be able to judge Mister Miracle until the story is complete and we see if King succeeds in pulling off the story he's trying to tell - I suspect he will, but I've been wrong before. If he sticks the landing, though, I'd say it will easily be on par, because as has been said, the sense of impending doom and the dread it generates virtually drips off the page. It's really, really good. I don't think I understand what the hell is happening, mind you, but that doesn't detract from the story. Which is an odd thing to say, I know, but it's true.

Yea MM is three issues in a 12 issue mini series so it's a bit too early to see where it will rank in his work but the three issues have been excellent so far.

You can read Sheriff of Babylon to see an example of a completed work by the same creative team. It's actually quite similar with the grid layouts and black text-only panels. edit: https://www.instagram.com/p/BaMo3NgBZ5D/?hl=en&taken-by=johnkalisz  Hell yeah.
