Greg Rucka did a mini Q&A on his Wonder Woman book while also taking potshots at Brian Azzerello & Cliff Chang's Wonder Woman run: I respect his argument of "Yeah, poo poo was pretty bad, but I'm willing to give it another shot" over the usual canned PR "No, see, things were fine, everyone was just overselling it."

Why does the Red Hood mask have big pouty lips and a hilariously furrowed brow? They've been doing that to Red Hood for a while and nobody can figure out why. It looks loving awful.

"Jason is forced to murder an insane villain who he tried to redeem but failed" isn't a bad character beat. "Jason does it while making a quip" kind of undercuts all of that.

Kingtheninja posted:Is that supposed to be the original harlequin character or something? Nah, the original Joker's Daughter was the second Harlequin.Her original gimmick (long before this version) was that she fought Robin and claimed to be the daughter of various supervillains. Robin eventually figured out she was Duela Dent, Harvey's daughter. She changed her name when she tried to join the Teen Titans. This is a new version though,. She just found the Joker's face floating in the sewer and decided to wear it.

Teenage Fansub posted:Is it really such a big problem that the number of human Green Lanterns has increased by two since 1994? It''s pretty dumb to have a space cop where the gimmick each is from a different planet and then have 6 representatives from the same planet and also to make one of them the Important Real Green Lantern and awkwardly shuffle the rest off to the side until someone decides to adopt them.

American Alien is a Elseworld, isn't it? It doesn't matter what the baggage is. Also I'm honestly fine not following the adventures of Super Burns Off People's Arms And Gets Drunk Man but I'm way less impressed with AA than a lot of people.

Teenage Fansub posted:Well, the new comics haven't come out, but 'Batman and Robin' and his solo Robin series were great. I haven't really followed the dad Superman series but have they gone into it all about how insanely hosed up it must be for everyone Clark and Lois knows to be dead? Like Lois' entire family is dead, Clark's parents are dead, their adopted son Chris is dead, Jimmy Olsen is dead, Perry White is dead, ect, ect, and they're all replaced by similar-but-different versions.It seems like that must be insanely depressing that they can't actually reference anyone they ever knew without being reminded that they all got effectively murdered by Barry Allen.

How do you even have Nite-Owl hanging out with Batman. Like the two of them are teamed up and fighting and after the fight Nite-Owl is breathing just a little too heavily and Batman is creeped out. End story?

Travis343 posted:Red Robin really feels like a last-minute decision. Like you're a DC comics editor, you've just heard Grant Morrison is turning Dick and Damian into Batman and Robin and that's great but you realize you've still got to put out a book starring Tim Drake every month and you need to make a decision right now, um um ok, um what if we call him Red Robin? poo poo, I guess that'll work until I can get an actual writer on the phone - oh gently caress whoops, went to print. gently caress, now it's seven years later and he's still Red Robin. gently caress. Red Robin is a reference to Kingdom Come, though there it was Dick Grayson.

Dark_Tzitzimine posted:That is why I asked if you guys had read the series. This is how issue 12 follows up that scene So? It's pretty blatantly not a shoulder shot in the first art you posted and that's probably because it wasn't scripted as one. Nothing you posted changes that. Like literally the second piece of art you posted involved her being shot in an entirely different way. Either the artist is completely inept or the writer is. Edit: Let me rephase: The first piece of art you posted a while ago which was reposted above, where she is shot clearly not in the shoulder.

Dark_Tzitzimine posted:Since the solicits for this issue were released we knew Duela would be part of the series until it end so everything in issue 11 was just a fakeout since the start. No it wasn't. You keep ignoring the blatant fact that the original artwork shows something completely different from the following issue, which is either the result of ineptitude or a script change.

Alucard Nacirema posted:He's an unnecessary character, a ripoff of spider man, they killed off a perfectly good character just so didio can have a NY times article on how diverse DC is with their new Latino hero!, Neither of his series have been that great and consistently sold near the bottom. ... How is he a ripoff of Spider-Man beyond being a teenage hero? Spider-Man is defined by being an orphan raised by his aunt who gets powers and learns with great power comes great responsibility after he screws up and his uncle dies. From there he goes on being half wish-fulliment half-realism with a heavy focus on his dating life and day-to-day struggles and he's known for being particularly quippy. His powers are spider-themed and he fights a lot of animal-themed enemies. None of this applies to Jaime who (at least in his non-lovely series, I don't know about Nu52) is largely about being a regular kid with a regular family who gets an alien power suit that has all kinds of complexities to it and gets pulled into a world he's unprepared for but doing his best in. There's not really much similarity to them beyond the similarities you'd get between any teenage hero and the vague bug/spider/beetle thing.
