TwoPair posted:It's good to see Priest so excited, too bad it's about loving Deathstroke. quote:With Deathstroke, we are more or less doing old-style done-in-one’s; Priest in Denny O’Neil Mode writing within a planned episodic structure. Each issue is both a story and part of a larger story. This is a book that doesn't have to wait for the trade, it can be read issue-by-issue and still work (Rebirth being a notable exception as that story concludes in Deathstroke #1). In today’s broader and more visually-oriented style, telling a full story in a single issue can be a real challenge and make for a crowded look, but my goal is to give the fans more than their money’s worth: a good, solid read with strong characters we hope you will grow to care about and want to see more of. This might help sell you. Rhyno posted:Priest's Q&W follow up was really bad so I am very skeptical about this. http://lamerciepark.com/comics/qwoody/ Priest himself had a lot to say about this.

I've always had massive issues with the monthly format and the hideous effect it can have on a book's momentum. They've clearly got some kinks to work out, but the biweekly format has made it far easier to invest in a lot of these books even if they aren't incredible.

At least half of Suicide Squad is really good. The other half is a worse version of The Avengers, a movie I firmly despise. The movie definitely reeks of too many competing hands having a say, I can only hope we get a directors cut though there are some aspects of the film that likely can't be fixed.

RHATO has a fun concept and I'd read it no problem if someone else was writing it. I've given Lobdell multiple chances since he can occasionally write a good character moment and has some good plot kernels but that boy just cannot write in the long-term and every single plot point and character arc fizzles out by the next issue.

I was just thinking the other day that I miss the 80-page giants even though they rarely had more than a single good story. Really curious to see how this talent program works out for DC, there's a promising amount of women attached to this already.

BrianWilly posted:Wally was pretty good in the latest Flash issue and seems fine in the TT preview so I look forward to people shutting up about this "problem" that's frankly pretty much fixed at this point. There's no real graceful way to handle this, but having N52 Wally just be OG Wally's cousin from another dimension who still gets to be in Kid Flash in the Flash book proper and Teen Titans is about as good as it was ever going to get.

More exclusive signings. Robson Rocha is terrible and I've never seen a single page from him that was a step above "last minute fill-in art.' Otto Schmidt however is probably the most exciting artistic talent I've seen on a DC book in a long long time. Good for both parties. Edit: Side Note, but boy are the new layouts for Newsarama and CBR just absolute loving garbage. Semper Fudge fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Aug 31, 2016 |

Young Animal is still on the far fringe of DC, I imagine this is still the case with Wildstorm and by "resetting the universe" they meant basically cutting ties with garbage like the New 52 runs of Voodoo, Grifter, and poo poo. The alternative is that Midnighter and Apollo are strictly contained to the DC Universe while the rest of WS isn't and that seems really stupid even for DC.

Looks like Jonboy Meyers walked off of Teen Titans citing creative issues, most likely with Ben Percy himself. Khoi Pham, who I am unfamiliar with, is replacing him. Also FINALLY got a creative team for Super Sons. Peter Tomasi and Jorge Jimenez. Utterly unsurprising, but their is absolutely no one more qualified to write this book.

It's nice actually being able to read solicits and look forward to all of the new arcs without clenching my rear end in a top hat the entire time worried that they're going to gently caress up one of the few books I like.

I'm a really big fan of these new minimal cover dresses they're using for all of the Rebirth books. This week they started listing the name and chapter of the arc, which is super helpful for back cataloging and just looks great.

Endless Mike posted:Just because it is less bad does not make it "minimal" by any definition unless you're doing that "using a word to mean the opposite of what it means" thing. Ah okay, you're just being a pedantic gently caress even though it's extremely evident what I meant. Apologies.

Lick! The! Whisk! posted:If you compare the rebirth trade dress to the marvel NOW! (which just started up) trade dress it puts a fine point on how ugly and ostentatious the rebirth trade dress is. I might be missing something, but this looks like total poo poo.  I do appreciate the two #1s on the cover, just in case we ever forget that the entire industry is built on goosing sales.

Getting to use The Shade in your story arc is basically cheating, but the last issue of Flash was really good because of it.

Tomasi/Gleason are one of the all-time creative duos imo. The only bad thing they've done together was that Martian Manhunter story in Brightest Day, and even then that was just kind of eh.
