Oh hey, Black Canary/Green Arrow is going to be a thing again?

But I guess the writer hasn't been very good?

I loving hate Werewolf stories. Why does Green Arrow have a 6 month long god damned Werewolf story.

That reminds me when I bought X-Men #1 a few years ago thinking it would be a place to jump in (I was naive) and it was a drat vampire story.

Is Artemis related to Wonder Woman? I pretty much only know her from Young Justice. You're right, though, this is hella cool. I'll miss Roy but am glad Starfire is still gone, and Bizarro on a team book is a wonderful idea.

This is (presumably) the Amazon Artemis. Different character.

Part of it is going to be the way they changed too.

Barry Allen died saving the entire multiverse and being awesome. Characters mourned, he was remembered, a big part of Wally's character was living up to Barry.

Wally disappeared in a puff of smoke and was negated from existence.

It's going to be Wally West.

How has Injustice weathered the storm of DCYou and Rebirth totally unscathed? No offense to the guys who make it, but come on. It was one game, five years ago. It's like there's a lack of fairness in the world or something.

Since there still hasn't been news of an Injustice 2 in years, it has to just be selling well.

It is supposedly being worked on currently though. There was speculation a while ago it was going to coincide with BvS but obviously not.

"It's not cheating if they're our alternate universe duplicates, Lois"

But then it gets all weird, so they stop talking to each other and kind of just drift apart.

Superman challenges The Flash to a race, they both push each other near to the point of breaking the dimensional barrier, but Flash puts an arm up in front of him which obstructs Superman, causes him to stumble and trip into the Amalgam universe, never to be seen again.

Everyone insists the Flash's arm was a total accident because he's an American hero and only foreigners cheat.

And it makes perfect sense why she'd then become a full Green Lantern, because isn't the current criteria 'being able to overcome great fear'?

Ollie was a Social Justice Warrior before that was a thing. And then before it become a different thing. And then it became kind of the opposite of what it means? But then it came back around a bit but it's still bad.

So are they dropping the whole DC You policy of "Continuity doesn't matter" and letting creators do whatever the hell they want with the characters like Dr. Fate in a hoodie, Multiple personality Martian Manhunter, characters appearing in different costumes in different books at the same time, etc.?

I personally thought that it was interesting and led to some great books (All-Star Section 8, Mech Batman, etc.) but I guess it becomes irksome when people can't organize their bookshelf in canonical order anymore.

Green Arrow already made Roy a junkie again and changed his history, so I guess so.

They're both worse Flashes than Barry. Jay mostly as a product of his time.

Barry Allen didn't suck. People just have all the anger over what happened with Wally falling on him.

Azzarello's run also opened by revealing that everything Diana had been told about her past was a lie, which was just as much a slap in the face to the previous thirty years of storytelling as Rebirth was to the last five. So come on. Chill out, trust one of the best writers working in comics, and let him tell his story.

"It's okay when it results in a run I like" is the central truth of the DC Universe. It is the one constant that survives the ever-changing multiverse.

I know no one means it this way and I promise I'm not being a dick here -- I'm getting what I always wanted, so why would I bother? -- but it's just kinda funny how we're getting so many straight-faced, non-sardonic appeals against Greg Rucka indiscriminately trampling over Brian Azzarello's storylines, as if that wasn't also the literal specific thing Azzarello did against Rucka and multiple other writers' work. As if there wasn't also very many great things about twenty years' worth of post-Crisis storylines that maybe shouldn't have been directly countermanded by Azzarello wanting to build a grimmer, darker, more cynical world for the character. I'm just genuinely amused that folks genuinely don't seem to see the irony in this.

Now try talking about Green Lanterns.
