Dario the Wop posted:Anyone following Forever Evil? I am reading Johns' mini and JL, and he is hellbent on inserting as much of the old DCU into the crossover as possible. He retconned Luthor back to Smallville (complete with the old Lena backstory), plus Bizarro (with an unnamed Legion of Doom), the Metal Men, Plastic Man, and probably some other stuff I've forgotten. The problem with Johns is than he's getting more and more like an OCD kid with each new arc on the N52, he keeps adding this neat concepts and ideas than go nowhere on the long run or he retcons later. Is becoming really irritating now.

The Master of the Universe crossover is strangely entertaining, but is kind of weird to see cameos and name drops for the old DCU when supposedly is the N52 DCU (The secret six were name dropped and snyder's joker makes an appearance) The story of Orko's current status was kind of neat at least.

The thing with N52 Shazam is while 'Curse of Shazam' was really good and a neat take on the character, his few appearances on the JL are lacking that 'magic' than made it so great before. It actually feels like 'Curse of Shazam' was an elseworld or something because it just doesn't mesh with the rest of the N52 (the whole bullshit with Black Adam and the Seven Sins are the most glaring example of that)

Mr. Maltose posted:Why? Not ragging on you here, I'd have thought Lobdell getting back on the Red Hood horse would be right up your alley. I love the guy's work but I love more to see another writer taking a crack at the characters. Maybe I'm wrong but it kind of feel like Lobdell already said anything he had to say about the characters, I don't want for Jason to end like Jean Paul and become stagnant under a sole writer. In any case it depends on Pfeiffer's skill, if his arc shows to be good I'll be bummed to have Lobdell back on the book, if it turns to be poo poo (unlikely but it could happen) Lobdell will be a godsend.

I know DC's track record with weeklies are all over the place ranging from the very good (52), to the mediocre (Trinity) to the very bad (Countdown) but have these really been big money earners for DC to justify two weeklies at the same time. There were rumors of a third even.

I've liked what Palmiotti has been doing on All Star Western but gently caress him by fridging Gina. I can see the reasons for her death but still gently caress him, she was a great character.

Trast posted:I haven't read this so forgive me if I mess something up. But when you say you can see the reasons for her death do you mean they make sense story wise? Because I thought fridging someone was specifically killing a female character specifically to get a rise or motivate a male character and nothing else. Gina died because she wasn't accustomed to the old west extreme conditions. I can understand the logic (she was a city girl after all) but it feels really awful to off her on one issue. Why put her on the story in the first place then?

I found Gina interesting because she showed herself to be more than a clumsy girl smitten by the badass and brooding Jonah, she wasn't one to stand fo his bullshit and she was constantly calling him out and taking her own decisions. She was constantly on the role of a victim but what were you expecting? she was only a city girl with no real combat experience. And I'm hoping her death means something for Jonah because if Palmiotii wanted to get rid of her, he just should've left her on the present. As it stands now I'm getting the message than she was killed by being a stubborn woman who didn't knew better and I found that kind of message way more troubling than the handling of Starfire. EDIT: WHAT THE gently caress DC?   Is from the September's Batman Death of the Family TP and Joker Mask Set. only $39.99 USD Dark_Tzitzimine fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Mar 27, 2014 |

I asked about Dodson because I've only seen his cover work and he always draws stunning woman with (as anti-strunt pointed) bring to mind 19th century women so I honestly couldn't recognize him on that cover is so different and actually it feels kind of poor. I don't know, probably he's trying a new style or something. March is a great artist but sometimes his style makes the character look like souless monsters (like in the scrapped Catwoman pages), his men (unless they ugly or have a non-standard design) look more or less the same and ocassionally the anatomy is kind of hosed up. Benes is also pretty decent but again, his men look generic compared to the women, and that's not counting than sometimes it seems than he's using only two models just changing clothes and hairstyles.

N52 Stormwatch is back with no real explanation on what happened to Starlin's or how they came back outside of a 'we went on a parallel timeline for a couple of weeks'. Outside of that, it was a nice time waster and I really enjoyed the jab at Venditti's bullshit on GL. I din't see the Future's End teaser anywhere though. The art was pretty good if somewhat generic.
