Spritenaut 32 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I've really dug the Bane arc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 1. Im not a fan of slugfests, like last issue. 2. The whole talking to his mother thing is weird. 3. Never really liked bane as a bat villain. Obviously, just my preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouderDrew Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I agree about the NOTMM and the Gotham arc I felt like they both needed more time to develop, but both of the ideas were solid. It was weird seeing monsters in a Batman story, but to me it was something new and different. I was just disappointed on how the whole NOTMM arc ended with the final battle between Batman and Strange. I do agree with that the following arcs written by King have gotten better and I did enjoy the ending to the I Am Bane story arc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin877 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Which DC Rebirth TPB's should I pick up? I read the first few issues of Wonder Woman (and really liked them). I am hearing great stuff about King's Batman series. What else should I sang while they are at the $10 price point on Amazon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detective, Nightwing, & Green Arrow, Green Lanterns, Aquaman, Superman and Actions Comics were all solid-good. King's Batman showed potential, but didn't have a good start. Still everyone says it turns around his second arc which I can believe based off of what I saw in the first one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The first Titans story is really good, with my pro-Wally bias fully admitted. Though I'm really not overly happy with the Wally/Linda current situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unholy Dragon Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Well that was fast. In an inspired move, DC announced Super Hero Girls lead writer Shea Fontana as the next WW writer. On for five issues at present. Really good move honestly. Semi relatedly, I finally read the first volume of the Finch WW run and while it's not great, it's pretty good and not nearly as bad as I feared, balancing the Azz/Chiang/Suzuka stuff with the broader DCU. I dunno if I'd drop money on it but it was on Hoopla so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 What is Hoopla?

They probably had fair warning of this from Rucka at least a couple of months before he made the announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Theres probably an argument the publishers would make is that some people will buy a book solely on the character and the creators dont matter. I know we had subscribers at our store that had a flat "any book with x" rule on their pull sheet, be it batman, catwoman or whomever. I think we had somepne who bought only Shi.

Basically a digital library service allowing you access to different kinds of emedia on a limited basis depending on your library. So my library lets me take out six items a month for 21 days each. If I had a Toronto Library card, that would be 8. Other libraries vary in what their individual agreement provides. Notably they get all the Rebirth trades on release. They also seem to have a similar deal with Archie for both singles and trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unholy Dragon Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 So The Button is off to a pretty good start. Really feels like a Geoff Johns story with some better narrative tricks which speaks well to the choice of Tom King as one of DC's lead writers right now. Curious how the next few issues play out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 So Dark Days will be followed by Dark Nights: Metal, the big Snyder/Capullo crossover. That's going to be followed by Dark Matter, a collection of new series featuring new/rejigged characters by marquee creators. The lineup is below the spoiler (for space, since it's an image) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 The Button got off to a wild start. I loved the big fight, and am looking forward to seeing how Imra is involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
