I mean, I don't know, while it could be about the Azzarello run, there's a whole lovely Meredith and David Finch run in between, so Plus, "something hosed up the Amazon have kept from Diana" feels like the plot of every other Wonder Woman story, so Unless the first issue opens on Ares being all like "I'm not dead also Athena was never a baby and that wasn't Hephaistos, it was just some random guy who made stuff up haha funny right", I think Rucka's earned the benefit of the doubt.

http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/eccc-dc-entertainment-all-access DC is getting nuts. Gerard Way's getting his own Vertigo-lite imprint called Young Animal. quote:Gerard Way joined the panel, and announced that he has his own imprint at DC, called, "DC's Young Animal." "DC is letting me have an imprint called Young Animal. The first book is 'Doom Patrol,'" Way said. It'll be written by Way, and illustrated by Nick Derington. "It's really weird," Way said. It'll pay tribute not just to Grant Morrison's famed run on the series, but the history of Doom Patrol. They're also doing a Challenge-style Kamandi book with teams made at random quote:Another announcement! In the spirit of 1985-1986's "DC Challenge," a 12-issue series where 12 teams of creators told one story, round-robin style, DiDio announced the "Kamandi Challenge," where 12 writers and 12 artists were "carefully selected" and then paired at "random" to tell a story starring Jack Kirby's Kamandi, The Last Boy On Earth.

Revol posted:I really loved Rebirth. Like promised, it is bringing back what was missing at DC for five years now: legacy. The universe is fixing itself, either on its own, or forcibly by Wally coming back or whatever. And then the Watchmen reveal... when I got to that page, I just laughed my rear end off. I'm not laughing at it. I enjoyed the absurdity of it all. DCU vs Watchmen? Alright, bring it on. I can appreciate that they are willing to do something so ridiculous. gently caress playing it safe. The very first page is also in the Watchmen 9-grid. But the thing that really sells the final scene is the lettering. Nick J. Napolitano did a good-rear end job on that.

Ah, yes, noted military experiment working for a global superpower Spider-Man. Maybe you can only notice surface level similarities between Spider-Man and Super-Man because they're not going for the same thing at all. Especially considering the fact DC is already publishing a book about a teen in New York trying to juggle his personal life as a student and the great responsibility that comes with some sort of great power. It's called Doctor Fate, it's by Paul Levitz and Sonny Liew, and it's actually pretty good.

I feel Tom King's Batman is a really well-made populist action book with great setpieces, and I like the way it's setting up stories that are gonna pay off now (Batman trying to see where the Gotham Kids are going), later (the whole Monster Men thing that's gonna be an Halloween event), and even later (because whatever Hugo Strange is doing can't be good). Like, sure, it's not a heady contemplation of alienation in contemporary society, American foreign policy or the effects of the war in Iraq on the people and the structures of that country, but, I don't really read the main Batman ongoing for those.

KittyEmpress posted:DC does not inspire confidence in me,when it comes to not being racist, since their Muslim superhero was introduced... with a plotline about being a terrorist and stuff. We're talking Simon Baz, right? Because the plotline (and that's loving generous considering it played out in all of a single issue) was about him being falsely accused of being a terrorist because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It is made incredibly clear that he is not a terrorist at all, just a guy who stole cars to make ends meet after the recession.

JoshTheStampede posted:Yeah based on other things Rucka has done I am fully expecting to find out that Flashback Diana and Present Diana are not the same person. Thematically, as an exploration of how myths, and by extension comic book origin stories, get rewritten to fit the times they're told in, it's super interesting. Like, it's the same kind of ideas Kieron Gillen and Al Ewing were exploring with Loki, and if Rucka is getting at that I can only see it being great. Plus Nicola Scott is kinda killing it.

Green Lanterns is a perfect metaphor for itself. It's got the potential to do good, there's an enjoyable story there, but Sam Humphries has no confidence in himself or the artists he works with. So every page becomes a slog of first person narrative captions spelling out exactly what is happening and why, despite a story you can understand with a simple glance at the action and a cursory knowledge of the characters. I don't wanna say it's bad, because Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz becoming more than what they and others see in themselves is something I'm rooting for and a story I want to see told. But the creative team on this book absolutely sucks at telling it, which is super painful.

Mr Hootington posted:How did justice league dark end up? The Peter Milligan run is a mess with fairly cool ideas, much like most of Milligan's later work. Then Jeff Lemire shows up, and it gets pretty average, with some nice touches and an ambition he could never live up to, because it's Jeff Lemire writing a team book and that's the way these things go. By the time DeMatteis picks up the reins, I completely checked out, but the book can be described as "exceedingly workmanlike". Still, it's got some nice Mikel Janin art, from before Nightwing, which is nice.

Teenage Fansub posted:I actually found Milligan's the best part. I enjoyed the Justice League being trapped in a teeth tornado for an arc. Yeah the one thing Milligan did super well was coming up with threats for which it wouldn't make sense to send the actual Justice League. The book made a fairly strong case as to why its existence was justified in a story sense.

The kryptonite therapy that brought his powers back from the previous run of Action Comics, plus going through the fire pits of Apokolips in the previous run of Justice League, and whatever happened with Rao in Justice League of America, which I didn't read because man Bryan Hitch sucks as a writer. As a result of all that he died and got turned into sand or something.

Lick! The! Whisk! posted:I mean in enjoying it, its not bad, and the character interactions are often fun, but it just feels like a comic very much written by committee, I guess? Character voices seem kinda same-y and there's no real book variance. It doesn't feel like im reading Tom King Batman or Tynion Batwoman et Al or whoever writing Nightwing's.... Nightwing, its all just sorts the same characters repeating very similar dialog with very similar perspectives. Yeah that's because Steve Orlando wrote all of them. Story credit goes to him and the regular writers of the books, but script credit is all him.

TwoPair posted:That could be good. So far as I know there's no one in the Batwoman mythos with the ability to break the 4th wall, so that should curb that tendency that drove me off Angela. The idea with that stuff was that, in a way, it was elaborating on some of the themes and ideas of Kieron Gillen's Journey Into Mystery run. There's a shared sensibility there that is not in Bennett's other work, which is very cool and good.

ImpAtom posted:The Ray is the definition of a C-list character nobody knows about. He shows up in cameos and references and that's about it. That's okay. That's not a bad thing. Being C-list isn't bad but stop trying to pretend like The Ray is this massively recognized and beloved character. I'd go further and say The Ray is D-List. And the "D" stands for "Dick". Because he's into penises. Because he's gay.

My biggest problem with "The Lies" is that, because Rucka is going for something elaborate and weird, he's being very careful and deliberate in setting up everything in a way that makes sense. And that's not bad in and of itself, but, when you sandwich that between slices of the very straightforward Year One stuff, it makes it seem more boring. But at least all the setting-up seems to be over with, and now we can delve in the strange stuff.
