Spritenaut 32 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I'm not too enthusiastic for Morrison on GL. Creative reboots where the character flies off into space/another dimension/the Microverse/whatever rarely work for me, and don't usually sell that well - usually because the writer jettisons the entire supporting cast and rogues gallery and tries to tell stories with an entirely new cast and villains who often aren't that interesting. Granted, most of the writers trying that don't have Morrison's talent and the GL mythos lends itself to space stories. Still, I can imagine Morrison compensating for the lack of recognizable faces by going all grand guignol weird and telling stories about Hal's new girl-friend, the ominsexual from Persei Omicron VIII who pitches softball like a man. Then again, DC probably doesn't care if I'm enthusiastic or not. I'm going to buy the book - probably twice (trades and at least some of the single issues). Who needs customer satisfaction when Morrison's name is get me to buy?

odessasteps Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 The WWE model. If people are going to buy stuff regardless of its quality, why improve it? The strength of the direct market is inertia buying. (Of course, a Grant GL could be great fun, mind you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, Hal's book has been the Corps book for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unholy Dragon Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Liam Sharp described Hal as an idiot savant in one of the interviews about it so hopefully we're going back to Silver Age Hal, which is easily the best Hal as GL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Real Bruce is back in his Hush era costume. Gun version above is one where he killed Joe as a kid? And lives in the same universe now with regular Bruce.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Yeah, gun Batman is from the Dark Multiverse. A universe where he got Joe Chill's gun and killed him with it, Year Two style. He'll be appearing in a Batman Who Laughs mini by Snyder and Jock. Â Also as an aside: @D.Z could you please spoiler large images in the main discussion threads? They really mess up the page on mobile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Liking Peter J. Tomasi on Detective Comics and the return of the Batsuit as seen in Batman: Hush. Be nice to see Tomasi bring back Goliath and Maya from his frequent collaborator, Patrick Gleason's Robin: Son of Batman work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
