Yep and he's been replaced by Superman and Lois Lane's Son from the future

That's great, I'm so glad.

Also, I love Jae Lee, but Superman's face and body are messed UP.

I love the original and hate the new one. Adam Strange and Manhunter suffer the most loss in coolness. gently caress that style poo poo.

Kilowog owned. Shut your dumb hole, poozer.

I think that's not the complaint. The complaint is that DC doesn't need minority characters because literal aliens of another species are just a representative and diverse and oh loving jesus.

I wouldn't limit this sort of thing to DC though. Any time sci-fi or fantasy try to use another species as the "repressed minority" I feel like they are missing the point.

Wait seriously? The Black Canary in Frankenstein's chest is the FCBD thing?


....

I picture myself taking my kid down to the store to teach him or her about my love of comics. If I saw they picked up something like this I'd basically say "gently caress it, we're done. I tried".

God, I loved that era of DC, but never understood anything about any of that poo poo. I liked the JLA arc where the heroes were introduced but lost the thread after that until it all fell apart.

And found out Batman was really mad the Iron Giant liked Superman so much.

I started rereading Fables cause of Wolf Among Us for the first time since it was new, and the first scene stuck out to me with dialogue along the lines of "Those humans might let government control and take care of them, but us Fables don't!!"

If you haven't popped 'round the Bat thread today,

Can Mark Doyle and whoever else is making recent decisions over in the Batside just take over?

That's a neat redesign. I like the look.

I caught up on New Guardians out of boredom and I think him having a romance with Carol is great and hilarious. That's literally all I got aside from hating event crossovers and leaving thinking the art is pretty good sometimes.

That is the most ridiculous-looking running pose I've ever seen, on that Secret Origins cover.

Checked it based on this post, totally worth it. The most iconic and basic pose for The Flash and hahahahaha

Honestly the only reason I see them pushing this idea is so they can later say to their writers, "See! Sales drop when you add blacks! I told all of you!!! Off with his arms."

Those two WW faces look like kinda different styles. I really like the coloring and line work.

The cartoon Waller probably solidified her coolness for a lot of people.

I started drafting my complaints of how shallow and poorly thought out the Johns GL universe is but I'm glad E&C apparently already ripped it out of my soul and polished it up. That was satisfying to read.

It's not unavoidable, its lazy and a waste of a concept. Green Lantern should be the solid base for DC's sci-fi universe but instead t's worse and cheesier than stuff you see in the Star Wars EU.

New52, where you can have both way too much legacy for some characters and way too little for others, at the exact same time!

I'm glad Green Arrow is popular now but God if I don't miss grumpy liberal dad Robin Hood.

There are definitely about 100 million better ways to use old art for covers than the way they have.

I started writing a joke with other lovely post MK3 characters and ended up listing all of them. Except Kenshi and Havik.

I think Superman could use some knee pads next. That would probably be great.

I have to wonder who looks at the designs of Superman with dumb knuckle covers and says "yes.. This is right. Send the memo to everyone, this is official"

Like Quietly he is a talented guy with a unique style that doesnt always work all the time but, when it does, nobody could replace it.

My exact thought. But also, I think it works great. Big beards are in.
