Has there been any word on Pre52 Booster Gold, Plastic Man, Metal Men, or Doom Patrol?

If Superboy Prime was the catalyst for DC:Rebirth by showing he was having huge fanboy meltdowns and being an insane editor messing with the DC line on Earth Prime, I would buy every DC comic.

Edge & Christian posted:Too bad all of those were pretty much terrible, and in the case of Wednesday Comics another case of "hey I want to work with a really cool artist, and since I'm the boss GUESS WHAT?" I'm not really sure why anyone who is into these marginal properties would be into someone reviving them in order to do a bad new take on them. I suppose it beats a world where DC just lets their trademarks lapse? Didio's take on the Metal Men was one of the better written metal men in years. It was modernized Silver Age take and felt like an extension of the original series.

Edge & Christian posted:We're talking about the Wednesday Comics story that was twelve conventional pages blown up large to cover a bunch of really terrible puns and a story of the Metal Men thwarting a bank robbery? Ok it was second best behind the doom patrol backup, but yes the Wednesday comics story feels like a original run filler issue.

Rhyno posted:DC really, REALLY wanted JD to be the next Harley Quinn and they were really close to giving her a hard push. Supposedly there are two completed issues of a canceled JD ongoing series sitting in a drawer somewhere by an unnamed creative team. They should do another cancelled comics cavalcade. a trade every few years would be cool.

Infinite Crisis was a good and led to a revival of a number of DC properties and ideas that all turned out good.

HitTheTargets posted:Infinite Crisis, the seven issue mini, can best be described as that unfinished splash page in #7 that didn't have time to be colored. There's a lot of stuff in it, what is there was competently done, but it blurs together as a really forgettable mess that just sits there on the page. The biggest misstep with that splash page was that it was only a splash page. The battle of Metropolis should have had an issue to itself. It was supposed to be a giant all out brawl and was a letdown. That is my only complaint with IC. It was an enjoyable event. Countdown to, the lead in minis, and the spin off series and minis for the most part were all good.

Finally finished up the rebirth issues. Batman was not very good. I might give it a couple more issues. Superman was great and sad. I can not wait to see where this goes. Green Lantern was good. The only issue I had is I have no idea who Baz and Cruz are because I didn't not read their New 52 stuff.

James Tynion IV is considered a bad writer correct? Lark should have been named Warbler or Wren. The yellow is gross too. Although if he appears in a film they can get Wiz Khalifa to do Lark's theme. Are there previews for Flash, WW, or Aquaman out? I'm not finding any. Mr Hootington fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Jun 2, 2016 |

I'm remembering D_T hates him and wasn't his Talon series garbage? Maybe I'll just wait for first impressions in Detective.

Edge & Christian posted:I started looking up years and seeing DC's market share and it's not worth sharing the whole list because it is like *constantly* between 29-31% every year with a few exceptions. There were blips where it was 33-34% in 2005-6 for Infinite Crisis/One Year Later/52, and then in 2011/2012 New52 spiked it up to 31/32% respectively. Given that the overall money spent on comics went up between 2005 and 2012, 2012 is in fact their biggest 'money' year, not adjusting for cover price or inflation or anything else. This is cool. I wonder if the price of a comic where to drop. Would the market share go up? Would it stay the same. Makes you wonder if they could do digital only books at $2 a pop. I do find it extra funny that the IC/OYL/52 which was arguably the last time DC put out line wide good to great books. Then they ran as fast as they could from it with countdown. As an aside. How is the Legends of Tomorrow book?

Teenage Fansub posted:Just answered in the releases thread, but it's a random bundling of miniseries that they were going to put out separately like the current Poison Ivy and Swamp Thing things. I would start with number one and catch up. I'm interested in pretty much every character, but if it sucks do not want to read it. Edit: reading your post would you say wait for trade then? I am buying digital. Edit again: ok the big two I wanted to read was S&S and metal men. Metamorphic and firestorm always sounds interesting but every book of theirs suck anymore.

Gaz-L posted:See, this is why Geoff should've made it Superboy Prime. This is the correct answer. Should have made it Superboy Prime became EIC of DC and was wrecking the DCU from Earth Prime. Is stupid but inline with all of the "legacy and history" of DC.

greatn posted:Why don't they just write Superboy Prime to become editor at Marvel and take out their competition? Nah. The character has a hate Boner and was shown to read every DC comic and post Angry messages on the DC boards. He is a satire of the petulant man child comic fan. Of course his natural evolution would have been to petulant man child writer at DC who makes the DCU HIS way. Edit: this would be too self aware for Geoff Johns.

X-O posted:The point that DC editors and DC readers need to learn is that it doesn't matter if things are contradictory as long as it's a good story. Marvel doesn't worry about if a story they're writing today clashes with some random poo poo in the '80s and that's the way it should be. Continuity can be a fun part of comics, but just concentrate on writing good stories and I won't care if you want to do something that clashes with the past. Yeah I agree with this. I think one of the biggest problems they have is DC is constantly tinkering with origins or introducing a 7th robin when nobody ages past 35. Toxxupation posted:At this point DC's canon is both its biggest strength and weakness. There's so much of it, and so much of it is actively contradictory that unless one utilizes something like Hypertime (which is basically a Morrison-only idea at this point) the sheer amount of canon is downright paralyzing. You can even see it with all the various Crises that DC does; outside of Identity they're all corrective actions meant to explain or justify certain sticky points of the canon/fold in out-of-canon acquisitions like Wildstorm or Vertigo or whatever. It's largely from DC trying to create one universe much like the 616 Marvel was built on, even though as soon as Barry Allen was created it just doesn't really work without needlessly complicating the backstory. The biggest problem with the sheer amount of canon is accessibility. It is both expensive and a pain to track down individual back issues digitally or psychically. Fix this and it wouldn't be as much of a problem. Hypertime is Waid's baby.
