I thinking these days Grayson was mainly due to Seeley. I see none of the fun stuff I liked about that book in anything else King does.

I think it's canon? Although it sure looks like it's going to handwave away Conner not existing since Flashpoint. Last time someone brought up the name Conner to Tim he had no idea who that was. Now it seems he remembers him pretty well.

You know against my better judgment I thought for a second manybe it was just a funny gag people were taking too seriously, of course being Tom King I should have known better, but then I opened the twitter thread to see panels of Lois being shot in the head, crushed, eaten, and set on fire. Definitely not a book a kid should be reading. Also something I’m not interested in reading.

Don't go out of your way to buy that Tom King crap. Instead go out your way to buy this Jeff Loveness story. He needs to be writing so many more comics. https://twitter.com/JeffLoveness/status/1083110657694658560

The only things I've read by him are Grayson, Vison, and the first couple arcs of Batman. I loved Grayson and still do. I never got the over gushing love for Vision but I thought it was a perfectly fine book. His Batman was just dire though before I dropped it. And everything I've seen posted both in panels and summary makes me glad I've not followed him to other things.

If you don't like the current state of discussion you can just not read it. Don't close the thread and therefore stop people from talking unless there's an issue with someone breaking rules. Everyone just be sure to keep your cool and keep it on topic to DC Comics. Don't bring any personal stuff into it. X-O fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Jan 22, 2019 |

Double post, but DC is making some changes it seems. They laid off some people today. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/dc-lays-3-percent-workforce-1178694 And then there's this: quote:Together with Dan and Jim, and the executive team, we have spent time assessing DC’s business, as well as the comic book publishing landscape. DC is going back to its roots of delivering epic stories with our world-class characters, stories and brands. So uh, we're going back to the roots again. Whatever that means.

I haven't seen anything about it yet is "That Bullshit" the thing we were told by BC months ago? That Wally is the real killer? I was really hoping they'd turn that around after the initial reception to the idea was universally bad.

I think putting Batman in charge of an AI designed to help people get over trauma is a great idea because if there's anyone that's shown the ability to get over trauma it's good ol' Bats. Also E&C mentioning The Protector reminded me he existed so I wanted to see what he was talking about and searched out the panl on Twitter. https://twitter.com/Latin4Cookies/status/1090684150984704005 I know I rag on Tom King but that is some terrible writing right there.

Spoiler tags only work if you give people some kind of idea on what the hell is behind them. That is a terrible use of them there. Also you don’t need to use them on books already out.

Young Justice #3 gonna make a number of people mad. I do hope we get some kind of further explanation on Connor though. At least he evidently hasn't been aged down again like the art would suggest.

Beerdeer posted:Mad because of stuff that happens or mad because nothing happens? I want to support the book but I’m sick of decompression and may wait for trade. Mad because it's revealed that Conner is married and has a son (and it's not with Cassie) even though the art makes him look like he's 16.The 'Not with Cassie" part is probably what's going to make people mad. So I guess stuff that happens? X-O fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Mar 6, 2019 |

I have really enjoyed the first four issues of Young Justice. As I figured Bendis is a much better fit on this than he is on Superman. That being said, while I really really want to let this go he's definitely going to have to explain how Tim suddenly remembers who Conner is. I mean he could have already just thrown in a small scene like with Barry and Wally in Rebirth and that would have been the end of it. But it's gonna bother the poo poo out of me if suddenly Tim remembers everything and there's no explanation for it.

DivineCoffeeBinge posted:In the last arc of the recent Detective Comics run that I can't remember who wrote it, Evil Future Tim shows pre-New-52 timelines to Tim, Spoiler, and Cassie figuring that it will break them (it doesn't). Yes he mentioned the name to Tim but Tim didn’t know that was. And after that storyline was over he asked Bruce about it because he didn’t know who’s name that was only that he knew it meant something.

I mean there's the Ultimate Origins thing trying to pick that up and there's several things in the mini that clash with other Ultimate stories. I'd have to go back over for specific examples but he plays real fast and lose with the passage of time in regards to Peter's age and other events in the Ultimate Universe. There's also that time when Daredevil died and Peter knelt over and unmasked him and didn't know who he was even though Peter figured out who Daredevil was well before that when Matt Murdock came to visit him one time.

I was excited at the prospect of a new Batman/Superpman book by a writer who is not either King or Bendis but they go and ruin it by making it about the Dark Universe poo poo and the Batman Who Laughs. Ugh.

BrianWilly posted:I dunno how *~unpopular~* this will be but if King really did propose something ridiculously controversial and out-of-character for Batman -- or for any other character -- then I'm glad someone up high actually did their job and told him "no" in clear certain terms. They should've done so plenty of times before, and not just for King. King just mentioned the other day he got permission to make this major change. Why would you immediately jump to assume that him leaving the title means they went back on it when it just as easily could mean the opposite?

So apparently Heroes in Crisis ends with Wally getting a knee in the crotch from Harley and then locked in jail? What a wet fart of an ending for what seems like a terrible series.
