The Unholy Dragon Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Bombshells getting the axe is weird, given that it gets a lot of good press and does really solid digital sales + other monetized channels (Hoopla, etc.) and it's part of the Digital office. Of the new age of heroes books, Damage is fun enough but dumb, Silencer had a weak start but tons of potential, Sideways is really fun in a Grant Morrison nonsense meets Spider-man way, and I read an advance copy of the Terrifics #1 and it's on track to be really great too. Terrifics follows most closely on Metal which will hopefully help its sales too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 It's a personal affront that @Brian Fowler doesn't read the comics I tell him to. I think he'd really dig Justice League of America, Shade the Changing Girl, and Doom Patrol (Casey Brinke could well be one of his favorite characters ever). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried an issue of Shade and didn't care for it. Deathstroke, however, is awesome and is the closest thing I've seen from Priest to his Black Panther run. In other news, I'm already over this and never need to see it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first 6 issue arc of Shade is right down his alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I think I'm going to miss JLA a lot when it ends. I grabbed it pretty much exclusively because of the Atom, but it's turned out to be a hell of a ride. I've also been thinking about the last arc and the whole Promethea debacle (is it a spoiler if it was all over comics press for months?) It's fucking weird, because it feels like Orlando isn't really interested in Promethea at all. He was interested in Immateria as something he could tie to the Queen of Fables, and either he wanted to use the realm rather than invent a doppleganger, or else DC brass told him specifically to use Promethea rather than invent a similar concept. I'd kind of lean toward the latter as Orlando has never come off as the type to deliberately antagonize JH Williams III. There's nothing in that story that REQUIRED an appearance by the characters Orlando used, and it feels like corporate going out of their way to assert ownership of something for the sake of asserting ownership. All that said, I enjoyed the arc quite a lot. It's a fun use of a villain who always felt like they could be interesting but never really was, it's a suitable escalation of the story that had been building since the one-shots, and it had some really great moments for nearly every character. The first issue of the final(I guess) arc was real good, I hope Orlando can stick the landing and that the characters who aren't Lobo and Atom don't get swept under the rug.

assfax Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I'm drinking Knob Creek, Commissioner Gordon is doin' th' PIT maneuver on Batman whilst driving the 1989 Batmobile and it's all in the animated series continuity. This is going to be the basis for 9 years of shitty DC animated deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 The plot synopses in the article don't make me want to run to the lcs and stand in line, but probably all of those books will be on my pull list based on creators. Batman/Constantine is probably the least intriguing to me, but Azz is writing, so I'll check it out. I generally think (mainstream hero/supernatural character) team ups are a struggle to pull off, but it could be worse. Azz writing or not, I might pass on Batman/Swamp Thing. Superman: Year One interests me most. Who knows which Miller will show up? Since he doesn't have a co-writer to rein him in like he did in DKIII, I'm kinda guessing Frank will go batshit overboard like he did with All-Star Batman. I'm not turned off but it doesn't sound as interesting as I expected the initial roll-out of the Black Label line to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 The last thing we need is another superman origin. And by Frank? The word train wreck doesn't do this justice. I think the Rucka and Kelly Sue books are the only ones I might want to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its odd. I don't dislike any of the synopses. Deconnick is the closest I am to disliking any of the writers, and I still think she is decent. Yet somehow I still can't find myself really wanting to check any of these out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublime Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I'm interested into the two Wonder Woman stories but the others will need to be well reviewed for me to possibly give them a chance. The Batman stories seem a bit uninspired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Miller's last run at writing Superman went way better than his last few shots at Batman, honestly. Apparently that's been his dream gig for ages and he plans to write him very differently than he would in a Batman story. I'm curious. Other History of the DC Universe should be great and I'm always down for more Snyder/Capullo. I don't know how many "The Joker is dead/gone/etc." stories I'll be down for before this line capsizes in my mind though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
