After complaints and requests I would like to formally request that Dark_Tzitzimine and WickedHate stop derailing this thread with your stupidity. If you can't post without being terrible, and I've yet to see evidence from either of you, then just go away. This goes two ways as well. The rest of you stop poking bad posters into making bad posts.

Yeah knock that poo poo off. I said before let him enjoy his books and quit making a big deal out of it. There's no harm in posting about books you like even if nobody else likes them. Put him on ignore if you can bear to see him talk about books he likes, he's not done anything terrible since I told him to knock off the stupidity. He's only talked about books he likes. Now it's time to leave him alone.

So it took four issues before a Bryan Hitch related delay? That's gotta be better than expected. And I thought his title was literally its own thing and not in the regular DC continuity specifically because of his time issues? Also I would almost be willing to bet it's some old unpublished Kindt story that was reworked to fit into the current series rather than Kindt actually writing a one off for DC.

I hope it's more of a retool than a reboot. There's a lot of opportunity to make good comics with some of the creators and books they have, they just seem to be missing it almost every time. I think the best things I'm reading from DC right now are Grayson and Legend of Wonder Woman. And one of those is a digital book that very few people have probably ever looked at so that worries me. The only other stuff I'm reading from DC is Midnighter, Black Canary (well whenever an issue actually comes out I'll read it), and Robin Son of Batman. And the Max Landis Superman book which is surprisingly good.

lotus circle posted:Legend of Wonder Woman has been getting great reviews, but DC has done it a disservice by not hyping it up in the same way they did Bombshells, which actually had a very solid print debut despite being a digital first comic. I think it has the best art in all of DC. The writer/artist I had never heard of until this series. I hope she stays on it a long time if DC will allow her to.

This is the best possible future. But it's also my present. I haven't bought a physical floppy in a few years at this point. It's great.

Future Quest looks great. Flintstones looks alright. Wacky Races I don't really care about. The art on Scooby Doo is terrible. I think I'm completely over Jim Lee at this point. His art just kind of feels outdated to me. I get the same feeling when I look at his art as a I do when I look at Bryan Hitch. It's just too much and very little of it appealing.

Well DC has to do something to try and turn the ship around. Their marketshare is incredibly weak, and for good reason as a good majority of their line is not very good. Unfortunately just going by what they're throwing out I don't have much confidence in this plan as they seem to be getting rid of interesting books and literally doubling down on the big books that I frankly don't care about. I mean Pak is one of my favorite writers but I never really cared for his Superman stuff and now Tomasi is supposed to turn that around? I'm one of the few as well that never really clicked with Snyder's Batman and while it's great to see someone like King take it on the loss of Grayson and the double shipping put a damper on that because I just know from past experiences that the art is going to go to poo poo with double shipping and deadlines. DC does that stuff all the time.

Barry Convex posted:That's pretty much exactly what they did five years ago, so it's not like there isn't precedent. Is that really what they did? I know it was a lazy quasi-reboot, but wasn't it planned to be that way from the jump even if it was a bad idea? I can't see them literally waiting until they have the individual pitches in their lap before deciding if it's a reboot or not. That doesn't make any sense.

All of that does sound kind of dumb when boiled down to basics like that, but not "burn it all down" dumb. I don't have a problem with characters changing powers and going through stories where they're dealing with radical changes because all of that stuff eventually passes and can be an interesting diversion from the norm if done right.

Space_Butler posted:I actually liked the DCYou relaunch far more than this never-ending staggered Marvel relaunch. Even if some of the books sucked, they were right there at once. This Marvel rollout has been painful and confusing for the casual readers at my shop who don't live and breathe updates via twitter, and my shop owner says the Non-Star Wars Marvel side of his business has dropped to below Valiant lately because of all the delays. Either your shop owner runs a highly incompetent business or he's an absolute liar.

Rhyno posted:My store is a premiere Valiant retailer. We get lots of bonus stuff because we feature their books and push the line so hard. Yeah, I didn't say that in order to denigrate Valiant. I mean I've tried pushing Valiant on anyone that I can. I wish Valiant's sales were bigger than Marvel's because they sure as hell deserve it, but I can't see any way there's a shop where even the entire of Valiant's line outsells any of the top Marvel books.

The Super Man is a Brian Azzarello book about Lex Luthor becoming the most powerful superhero on the planet. Sign me up for that one. Superwoman is about Lois Lane with Superman's powers, written by Meredith Finch. Hard pass on that.

I'll keep at it though. The art in those panels is great, and the story looks fun. So of course it'll never turn into an ongoing. I'm not buying an $8 book when the rest of it looks completely uninteresting though. Who's the creative team on that story?

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.
