The Watchmen reference in today's Justice League vs. Suicide Squad is one of those things that looked great in the script, but Robson Rocha on the pencils completely missed it, which is kind of a bummer.

I love Task Force XI because it's literally just what Morrison did with Weapon X and it's hilarious.

The Flintstones comic is maybe the closest thing we have to Classic Simpsons, in that it blends pointed mockery of certain aspects of our society with elaborate comedy stylings and genuine heart, empathy towards its central cast, whose biggest evil is that they don't know better because they're stone age people.

NutritiousSnack posted:I have vast problems with the new Snagglepuss thing. Why the gently caress are spies after him? Why does m15 or whatever want with a old gay pink mountain lion? Did David Cameron gently caress him too and they want to bury the fact the pig fucker is also a furry? uh do you think the House Un-American Activities Committee was like S.H.I.E.L.D. or something?

Superman was a lot of setup, but a lot of very good, very weird setup, that promises to go to the strange places that I think are DC at their best.

BrianWilly posted:Not sure who Tim Seeley is. Hope he's good. Co-wrote Grayson with Tom King, now solo writer on Nightwing. Those are pretty good books. Speaking of, yeah, Nightwing is just playing the greatest hits from the Dickbats era, but I do not care, because these are some of my favorite comics ever, and oh my god, I'm becoming the kind of blinded-by-nostalgia fanboy that I once hated.

Teenage Fansub posted:Just read Kamandi Challenge 3 digitally, and it didn't have the usual back matter where the previous issue's writer says how they would've solved their cliffhanger. Was it there in the physical comic? Yup, and it's Neal Adams reminiscing about Kirby and that's pretty beautiful.

There's one moment in Priest's Deathstroke run where Slade confuses "faustian" and "freudian", and it's such a perfect touch, the quickest reminder that for all his ability to put plans within plans, he's still kind of a giant meathead dipshit who's bad at the non-supervillain aspects of life.

Divided States of Hysteria was a weird mess with extremely poorly thought-out politics that are mostly just there for shock value, but, it's Chaykin. He did two volumes of Black Kiss. They knew what they were getting into. Plus it's the comics industry. One terrible lovely book isn't gonna stop them from going ahead with the book about drunk animal comedians.

I'm assuming it's the Speed Force. Whatever that means. Maybe that's a reflex Wally's body has acquired for when he feels his heart's about to give out.

Morrison and Burnham did Nameless, which is really great hyperviolent existential horror, so, I'm fairly confident they can pull AA2 off.

Android Blues posted:The idea that Dr. Manhattan going to a new galaxy, a clean slate, at the end of Watchmen resolves in him going and becoming a villain in the main DC universe is such a catastrophic misreading of the resonance of that moment. So is the idea that Dr. Manhattan would want to make things "darker". "Dr. Manhattan killed Superman's parents" is the ultimate apotheosis of this extremely bad take. I feel like the fact that there's a copy of Walden Two on Clark's nightstand might be a clue to how Doc operates. If I am to intepret it now based solely on this, I'm thinking Manhattan has done a whole mess of hosed up poo poo to try and engineer an utopia, but of course a) that's not how people work, and b) if it exists at the whim of one blue dude with his dong out it can't be a utopia anyway.

The money quote from the Dan Didio Victory Lap over at Multiversity Comics is right at the endquote:I’m not going to ask when Shazam is happening, because I know that’s a question that I can’t possibly get an answer to. I’m just curious as to where your mind goes, or not just you but where the DC mind goes with a character like that. How do you balance finding the right story versus letting somebody sit on the shelf, maybe for too long? Shazam is only a matter of time, JSA and Legion are absolutely spinning out from Doomsday Clock. Fun times ahead.

But also it's Tony Daniel drawing the poo poo out of it, so it's kind of a blast to look at, if you're into big monster dudes loving poo poo up. Which I am, and it's great at delivering that.

The Wild Hunt has pulls from motherfucking 52 and that's not even the best part of that dang comic. It's not just playing the hits, it's playing the fan-favorite deep cuts. It's a wonderful, joyous thing, that's also about the multiverse collapsing into despair.

By my count there's three books that don't have an announced ongoing writer. Wonder Woman and Detective Comics have someone doing a limited arc, and Venditti is leaving Hal Jordan after this arc. So there are openings.

I'm just into the formal experiment, daring (while absolutely unearned) additions to the canon of both Watchmen and the DCU, and Geoff Johns' general skill at writing populist fiction. #5 features Saturn Girl saving an old and long-retired Johnny Thunder while he's trying to retrieve Alan Scott's Green Lantern, and, that's just a story that I want to follow. It's part looking for deeper meaning in funnybooks and part looking at someone do something dumb and dangerous to see whether they can can land.

I don't really get it. There's a newspaper with the headline "Green Fire Consumed All-American Steel" in his room, page 7.

pubic works project posted:I don't think it's happened on panel yet. He was "good" in Action and he's not really evil in No Justice...but he's not as good as he was in Action. Following Superman blowing up his spot as messiah to the oppressed people of Apokolips in Imperius Lex (Superman #33 through #36), Luthor renounces the Superman crest and that kicks off his turn into being his usual dickish self.

The only way you can get more "dead man walking" than that is to be a B-list X-Man. also, it wouldn't be the first time Tom King had bad poo poo happen to him
