Gaz-L posted:Power Girl is probably the one case besides Emma Frost where I'd argue the costume is kind of integral now, because it's informed so much of how the characterisation has been developed. Like, it wouldn't make sense if Emma Frost started wearing smocks and never left a single button undone, but you wrote her personality as exactly as it's always been, and the same with PG. You can't have her established character but ditch one key way she'd express herself and have it be totally contrary to that personality. I find the practicality argument loses steam when the alternative is loving fishnets. Also who cares if it was meant to be, it still looks a lot better than the lovely original design.

You know usually I think people around here give you a lot of undeserved poo poo, but dissing my boy Captain Marvel's suit is just plain wrong. (although i do like modern shazam's Kirby-dot thunderbolt)

I'm not talking about practical, I'm talking about whether it aesthetically looks like something you put on to fight ninjas/bikers/demons, or something for a completely different purpose. She looked like Aqua Assault Canary (w/ firing harpoon gun action!)

Lobdell never wrote the new Power Girl, that was Pfeifer (although Lobdell was brought to help plotting on two issues). TT is currently written by Pak. Picklepuss posted:Bleah. She's still called Power Girl on E2:Society.

I want to read about a team of big goddamn heroes saving the world/galaxy/universe. Does DC have anything like that nowadays, or are back issues of JLA my best bet?

Right now, in Geoff Johns' Justice League run, Darkseid is dead, and in the wake of that, the Justice League have become gods, and they're fighting the Anti-Monitor, with reality's continued existence at stake. Lex Luthor leads an entire army of parademons. It's pretty big.

It's the B-leaue, so I dunno if it qualifies as 'big goddamn heroes' but try out Justice League United since they spend most of the time doing space missions. Justice League is good right now for The Darkseid War, which features the League transformed into crazy gods and Darksied and the Anti-Monitor punching eachother for issues. e: Earth 2 was about the heroes trying to save humanity while their world blows up. That's pretty large. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Mar 22, 2016 |

If you want back issues, try Warren Ellis' Authority #1-12. Some people preferred Mark Millar's run that followed, but I couldn't stand it. And of course, you have Grant Morrison's JLA and big events like Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Not that matters much considering their current track record with Rebirth, but BC is reporting Greg Rucka is the new WW writer, replacing a previously appointed Marguerite Bennet.

To be fair, I'd say BC have done pretty well breaking Rebirth. We'll see if King gets Batman and all that, but they got the double shipping thing.

No. As I understand it, a significant portion of DC's back catalog has royalty requirements much higher than is usually normal.

Madkal posted:How can news be good and bad at the same time? What sort of black magic are DC practising that they can entice Rucka back in the first place? I mean, either way, it sounds like WW is getting an awesome writer. Though I feel like if there's one 'major' book that should have a female creative team, it's Wonder Woman.

Rucka and Didio more or less mended the burned bridges when Didio offered him the chance to do Convergence: Question. After that Rucka said he wouldn't mind doing another DC book if he had the time for it and if requested. However I can't imagine it being Wonder Woman, because a double weekly shipping book is no easy feat to handle and Rucka is already writing a couple Image comic titles.

Maybe he and Bennet can share writing duties. That would be win/win.

Greg Rucka Wonder Woman is a book I will read. I'm going to have be very picky about DC books though since most stuff is double shipping.

The Vertigo thread is on page 3 or some poo poo, so I ain't posting it there. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/03/23/vertigo-comics-to-get-its-own-rebirth-at-eccc-for-july/ quote:I am told that DC’s Vertigo is undergoing a similar rebranding exercise as DC’s Rebirth from July, but to expect announcements at Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle, from April 7th to the 10th, rather than at this weekend’s LA-based Wondercon. Assuming there's any truth to this, this is insanely good news. As long as Vertigo's creator owned contracts are as garbo as they currently are, they will never ever be a viable alternative to Image. Moving back to focusing on alternative takes on fifth-tier DC properties is by far the best thing they could be doing right now.

The only DC thing that Hickman has really said he would love to write in the past is Legion. I'm not sure even Hickman could get me to give a gently caress about them, but I'd be willing to try.
