I was smiling so much reading Young Justice #1. The original series is one of my favourite comic runs, so having these characters back together is just great. I'm excited to find out where Connors been and how he's back, but just having him back and out of the t-shirt and jeans costume and back to his roots is enough for now. Roll on #2!

So Naomi #1 wasn't half bad. I wasn't going to pick it up but thought I'd give it a bash as I had very little else in this week. It's a nice simple premise, but Bendis managed to get me invested in a brand new character right off the bat, so I'm going to give it a few issues for sure.

Wonder Twins #1 is a fun read. I like that it's not taking itself too seriously, but it does have its moments. I'll happily read this for six issues.

George Kansas posted:If I read Doomsday Clock in anticipation of the ending, do I benefit from reading other Rebirth comics first? I haven’t really read much since Rebirth started past the first volume or so of a few trades, but I want to see Dr. Manhattan wreck poo poo. No, it's very much doing it's own thing. You'll be fine just reading Doomsday Clock without any other books.

I wasn't overly excited about the prospect of Miller writing a Superman book, but after reading Year One last night I'm pleasantly surprised. It had a few roll your eyes moments but on the whole I enjoyed it, but I'm definitely treating it as an Elseworlds tale.

Are these Giants that are solicited the same as those that were previously available only in Wallmart? I'm sure I remember reading they were being re-launched to be made available everywhere going forward. I hope this is the case, as I'm in the UK and have been importing the Wallmart comics so this will save me a ton of cash.

frameset posted:You can buy the former Walmart exclusives as "Superman Up in the Sky", "Batman Universe", and "Wonder Woman: Come Back to Me". First issues of each are out now. Yeah I've got those, but I'm an idiot when it comes to Superman and Flash books so I have to have the first prints of new content no matter the cost.

So Flash Forward was awful. I really want a good Wally book and for him to be treated well, but this was just a Heroes in Crisis recap, and we all know how that went.

Just read that the last two issues of Supergirl are going to be digital only, with their only physical release being part of a TPB collection. That sucks. I wonder if there will be more DC books close to their ends that will get the same treatment.

Open Marriage Night posted:Anyone been reading Teen Titans? I honestly forgot it being a thing at the same time there is a Young Justice book. Teen Titans has been pretty average for a while now, but it's being cancelled with the last issue hitting in November. It looks to be setting up a new status quo for Damian on it's way out. I've enjoyed Young Justice, but sadly that is also coming to an end in November.

Anyone know why DCEASED Dead Planet #3 and 4 aren't making their way to the UK? I asked my LCS and they just kind of shrugged. Pretty annoying as it looks like I'm going to have to spend extra to get copies sent to me from the US via eBay.

Yeah, he’s awful. The work he did during Bendis run on Action Comics was so bad. He’s getting hired due to his name and putting absolutely no effort into anything.

I'd like to think some of the changes wouldn't have been so drastic, but thankfully we will never know. Thank goodness this was just a two month thing in the end.

We had Connor back in costume for way longer than I thought we would. It was only a matter of time before T-Shirt Connor was back, but dumping him in Suicide Squad out of the way just feels like a double blow. Just give Kessel and Grummet another run with the character. I don't care if it's continuity or not, I loved that version of the character. Johns totally ruined him.

Wasn't the Superboy death more that they were in a legal battle regarding the rights, so it was just easier to get rid of Connor?

BrianWilly posted:On a slightly different note, Teen Titans Academy still makes me wish that I could unread books It's really bad. I keep buying it to keep my Teen Titans run un-broken, but I can't see it being much longer for this world. DC just need to shelve the Titans for a bit, rather than launching and re-launching bad series after bad series.

Mr Hootington posted:Quit buying the bad book. I'm to far in, I can't break my runs. For example, my Superman and Flash runs contain every main title, mini series, one shot and spin off released from their relaunches after Crisis. 35 years worth of comics can't be broken due to some titles being bad. It's my cross to bare.

Darth TNT posted:So did they really just kill the JL by saying, "you're dead now." In the most unceremonious way possible? They'll be back by the end of Dark Crisis. It was such a wet fart of a comic. Had it been a free comic book day prelude it would have been fine, but as a more expensive issue of JL it fell hugely flat.

Codependent Poster posted:A battered Nightwing actually beats Slade first. But then Slade is all like "who do I fight next from all these other canon fodder losers?" and Dick tells him to just kill him if that will get him to leave the rest alone. Jon shows up just in time to stop the bullet and save Nightwing. I actually popped for the panel where Jon shows up, so the series did that right at least.

Mokotow posted:Since comics are now easily available in Poland, I decided to dive into some DC stuff a few months ago. A great title to jump into is World's Finest. It's set in the past so isn't tied to any ongoing stories, and features a cast of characters you know and if they are obscure, it explains who they are (such as the current story arc). It's such a fun book and really harkens back to simpler times. It also shouldn't be too hard to pick up the back issues

If you want to read Superman and Batman but don't want to get bogged down in multiple titles, give World's Finest a go. It's set in the past so is it's own thing and is excellent!

Gaz-L posted:I feel like I'm kind of dumb for saying this, but I'm not sure I'm really liking the current run on Flash. The family drama stuff just feels depressing with a dash of the 'aren't superheroes childish and bad' deconstruction I'm over, and the larger plot feels like it's either way too clever for me, or not as clever as it thinks it is so much as not entirely coherent. I'm totally with you, I'm not enjoying it at all. It just feels like a slog to read. Definitely the bottom of my to read pile at the moment.

The idea of Grounded isn't even that bad, but it came at the wrong time. We'd just had the New Krypton story that dragged on and totally outstayed it's welcome. What we need was a nice palette cleanse, old fashioned Superman story after that. We got Grounded instead.
