Kind of sad to see the current creators on Batgirl aren't doing BoP seeing as that was what they were building up to all along.

Sign me up for All-star and Batman though.

poo poo. Janin and Finch on Batman art. Way to have two extremes on the same book DC.

Is Rucka good or bad.

Highly recommend you check out his Batwoman run on Detective Comics. Also Lazarus, though it didn't really grab me. Also Gotham Central. Read that.

I dunno if it's been noted, but someone in the costume thread noticed that there's a gang of Wild Dogs on the Green Arrow cover.



If there was a God that gang would get a spin-off. Wild Dog for life.

Harley Quinn/Suicide Squad April Fools Special has about four pages that are secretly Suicide Squad Rebirth and should make people happy.
The rest is pretty cute.

I'm iffy on Cave Carson Has A Cybernetic Eye. There's too little revealed yet to know if the tone is on point, or kinda phony and corporate. I mean, yeah, that's true of all of them at this point, but that one is clearly going to live or die on tone.

I was at the announcement at ECC and the way Gerard described the flimsy premise was hilarious. Basically he read about a character in some who's who book and came across a character whose only characteristic was that he had a cybernetic eye and he wants the book to explore why this guy has a cybernetic eye.

From the way all the books sounded Way was just coming up with ideas but nothing absolute solid had been done yet. Right now it's just brainstorming.

e: Some DCYou series are still going?!
Doc Fate is on #14 and doesn't say Final Issue.
New Suicide Squad and Harley are the only ones that do, but I guess they're getting replaced sooner than Batman Beyond, Deathstroke, Earth 2 and Teen Titans.

I know that they said that Prez Vol.2 or whatever will get released near the elections or some such BS but I still won't believe it til I see it. Has the trade been selling well enough?

Something about hipster Shaggy seems so perfect, and I'm down for Future Quest.

One thing I liked about DCyou was the experimentation that was involved and I'm really sad to see it go with Rebirth. Instead of expanding the craziness they are doubling down on the safe stuff, and then people complain on how desperate they are.

I'll bite, how? Did a black marksman kill Floyd Lawton and declare himself Deadshot?

Kind of. Deadshot and some other sharp shooter who happens to be black (but not very Will Smith looking) were sent on a mission, but Deadshot bailed pretty early to deal with some personal poo poo. Deadshot got shot up pretty badly though, and while lying in hospital on life support the sharp shooter comes and bitches out Deadshot for stealing his origin story (as seen in some Justice League annual), and it turns out Floyd's origin is actually pretty similar to the one Ostrander gave him in the original Deadshot mini. Black sharp shooter then declares himself the new Deadshot, goes on a mission with the Suicide Squad and go of the rails and starts killing everyone.

edit: drat Batman really needs some underwear on the outside if his package is going to hang like that.

Blocky letters have their place. There's that logo from 72 and 74 that is exactly what they're doing now, but not as good. They could just make the circle smaller, or use the 72 one.

By now the narrative is that DC hasn't done anything good since the 90's, or early 2000's or whenever Didio wasn't around, or whenever Johns didn't write anything, or something like that. Just accept it.
