Why the Red Hood/Arsenal book does not have some glorious, shameful stupid sub-title, like "No homo" or "Bros before hoes", holding out until the ads, eh? Stop going in a decent direction, DC! It does not look that much promising, but I hope that DC is going to ease up on editorial control, maybe offer better contracts and the good authors would come back. Interestingly, there are no ALL-STAR, LEGENDARY CREATOR type announces, it is going to hurt, surpsingly small amount of Geoff Johns also. A lot of old farts and Lobdell  Gene Luen Yang on Superman is out of nowhere, got to be interesting. The obvious direction would be some immigrant experience stories, but I am not sure if Yang would want to be "typecasted". More Travel Foreman is good, he shared some work on the aborted arc of Justice League United on tumblr - http://zuerst.tumblr.com/post/110087457580/some-design-sketches-from-an-aborted-justice Not aborted anymore? HELLBLAZER (yes!), Black Canary and Prez are going to be worth a look Section Motherfucking Eight!

ElNarez posted:I dunno, I feel like Hitch doing a Justice League book is the Big Blockbuster Book announcement that's gonna sell by the truckload, but DC's thrown it in the middle of every other piece of news because I guess unlike Marvel they don't know how to milk announcements for all they're worth (which to be honest I'm thankful for). If it was, like "GEOFF JOHNS AND BRIAN HITCH" or "WARREN ELLIS AND BRIAN HITCH" or "[BOOKS-WITHOUT-PICTURES WRITER] AND BRIAN HITCH", I would've believed it, but Hitch without a writer is not hot stuff, his Image book was a bland version of a Mark Millar pitch comic. Besides, everyone knows that he is not going to last past the first four issues.

Teenage Fansub posted:I was just reading the Doom Patrol omnibus and got to the issue where Robot-Man's body gains sentience and decides to live without being ruled by his human brain. The villainous brain-in-a-jar, The Brain and Monsieur Mallah, his ape companion then bust in and transplant The Brain into Robot-Man's body. Overcome , they declare love for each other and kiss. Robot-Man's body then blows up, committing suicide and Mallah's beret flies off and lands on Robot-Man's own brain in a jar. The end. It is great, but I think that the Beard Hunter issue is the one true masterpiece.

quote:DiDio said that Prez reminds him of a title from his early days at DC, Kyle Baker’s Plastic Man. Which may not have lasted long but was a real creative high point. And you still have not released the third collected volume of it you poo poo.

Toph Bei Fong posted:If they can get gold-armed Arsenal wielding his dead cat as the 8th member, then maybe it'll be in the running for worst. Or best. Sadly Ennis is probably out of the loop of contemporary superheroics, so he is not aware of all the shameful poo poo that happened in DC. He has quite some experience writing gently caress-ups whose names begin with "arse"...

Teenage Fansub posted:He's currently mad that all the backups are shoved to the back of the book, but should I get the Simonson Orion omnibus they're putting out? I like all the Kirby Fourth World. It is absolutely masterful for the first, what, six issues and then it is just a pretty Simonson/Workman comic.

It is entirely possible to do a homage to Killing Joke without being creepy as gently caress  Good call on Albuquerque and the Batgirl creative team, it is quite warming that the creators understand the concerns and react accordingly.

Way better to free the character from the stigma of being an eternal victim. DC has done way too many stories exploiting psychological trauma, abuse, body mutilation, sexual assault - to the point that it became one of the prime subjects of mockery, especially when Geoff Johns tried to criticize the tendencies by revelling in them. In my opinion, DC writers are better off exercising their freedom of expression in more dignified and safe ways

Brocktoon posted:I just read Green Lantern: Rebirth for the first time. I know people have said that Geoff Johns has a hard-on for Hal Jordon, but Jesus, this poo poo was like some fan fiction writer jizzed all over the pages, especially at the end. Just read Sinestro Corps War, it is the only good part.

Not drawn by Miller/Varley, co-loving-written with DC staffers, movie tie-in - not real Dark Knight.

To be honest, in the Superman/Batman preview he is wrapping his cape over the knuckles and drives a bike into Robatman's face  But i find it genuinely funny and amazing.

Constantine is a bit too much of a "HERE IS OUR NEW DIRECTION THAT IS OLD BUT IN TRENDY CLOTHES OKAY", but I am interested in the ongoing, hope for more bastard Constantine. Black Canary is amazing.
