DC RELAUNCHING entire Universe in September

[IrishJedi]

I almost added Legion #1 to my list, but I'm afraid it'll break my heart.

 

[The Mike]

Yeah being a Legion fan with DC is like being that dog that people forget about unless they want to kick it.

 

[Kabukiman]

I'll buy Legion if/when Lobo guests.

 

[KBA]

Batman
Catwomen
Supergirl

for me.

52 Pick Up

I'm still laughing at the fact nothing has changed for Green Lantern other than the numbering. Even more so at looking at Johns' "Green" Hal in Justice League. He matured a whole helleva lot in 5 years

The pitfalls of throwing away classics characterizations on a whim and having your writers spread too thin at the same time.

Some decent stories might happen by accident, but this is more likely to create more continuity errors and clusterf--ks.

Good luck to you following the new DC. I'm sitting this out for a while.

I gotta get caught up on last week's comics, still trying to decide which ones I am going to stay current with.

Has everyone been able to find "Whers Waldina" in each issue? theres a couple of issues I dont see her

Is that her name? I didn't see her in Batgirl or Suicide Squad. I assumed she was just in the "big name" issues.

 

[The Mike]

That isn't her name She hasn't been actually named yet.

Many fans thinks she is either Harbinger or Providence. DC or Wildstorm characters with reality powers that have been involved with the merging / changing of realities in the past.

Although here is another theory:

[Kabukiman]

Wow, I need to open my peepers more, I guess I missed her in a couple books.

 

[The Mike]

Anyone grab their pulls for today? The big news is that Catwoman is all tits and sex and apparently a subpar story.

 

[IrishJedi]

Not yet. Leaving work in about an hour or so and then heading to my LCS on the way home.

 

[KneelBeforrSmallville]

Picked up Bamtan #1 today, A good read, like the art and they have alot of mythology in there, was suprised how much they put into 1 comic. Im enjoying the relauch. My LCS has been wild, selling out of everything!

 

[Russell1982]

I ordered Batman #1, just waiting for it to arrive. Really looking forward to it. I've enjoyed the couple i've read so far, which is just Action #1 and Detective #1. Am tempted to pick up Catwoman #1 if i can and maybe Swamp Thing #1, as i've heard lots or people praising it. Also really looking forward to Superman #1.

 

[The Mike]

According to the early reviews the winners are:

-Batman #1
-Wonder Woman #1
-DC Universe Presents #1
-Green Lantern Corps #1

The middle tier was:
-Nightwing #1
-Supergirl #1
-Captain Atom #1
-Blue Beetle #1

The losers were:
-Legion of Superheroes #1
-Birds of Prey #1
-Catwoman #1
-Red Hood and the Outlaws #1

 

[IrishJedi]

Just read Batman #1.

Loved it. I won't say more for fear of spoiling the best moments. But I'll share this, as it's an Easter Egg and not a spoiler:

There is a 2 page spread in the middle of the book showing the entire Batcave and all of the batmobiles. One of them is the Keaton/Burton Batmobile!

If the entire rest of the book were mediocre that alone would make it a win. But it's really good. I'm already hooked on this storyline and can't wait for #2.

 

[IrishJedi]

Captain Atom #1... a solid read and a smart book. Has me intrigued. I'll pick up #2.

Catwoman #1. Jesus. Almost pure smut. I was shaking my head throughout. I mean, I like T&A and kinky stuff as much as the next guy... but it's almost over-the-top here. Especially

Spoiler

the end, when Batman appears in his inevitable cameo. They cheapen Batman!

.

Now onto read...

Wonder Woman
Nightwing
Green Lantern Corps
Red Hood and The Outlaws
DC Universe Presents Deadman

 

[IrishJedi]

Dayum!... so Starfire's a total Ho now.

If feminist groups knew anything about comic books these days methinks they'd be storming DC over the New 52 so far. I seriously haven't read a single book with female leads where they aren't drawn or overtly portrayed as straight-up sex objects. Even Wonder Woman has an implied nude scene in her book.

Speaking of which... my quick run down the rest of this week's reads:

Wonder Woman #1: Wow. Very cool book and setting up an interesting new arc. Also probably the darkest, most violent Wonder Woman story I've ever read. I'll definitely stick with this one.

Nightwing #1. Not bad, not great. I'm in the "it's mediocre" camp on this one. But I'll probably give it another try with #2. Decent cliffhanger. This book also makes it perfectly clear that the entire Return of Bruce Wayne/Batman Inc. storyline is still canon.

Green Lantern Corps #1. Tomasi did a good job here, because the book is filled with GL characters I either never heard of before (new ones) or ones I never cared for, but it's an egaging set up story. And also very, very violent and graphic at times.

Red Hood and The Outlaws #1. I like that this book will delve a lot deeper into Jason Todd's pysche and who he is now that the Batman/Red Hood storyline is behind him. But this is totally a book aimed at the young Dude-Bro crowd. Starfire is already the comic book equivalent of a blow up doll here. And the 2 male leads edge dangerously close to being your basic 20-something douches throughout. Not sure about this one...

DC Universe Presents Deadman #1. This is going to be a slow burn and won't be for everyone, but I'm in.

 

[Avfin]

Just got Batman this week--When does Superman and Aquaman come out?

 

[Jill Sandwitch]

So from what I've heard Powergirl got turned into the Iron Man wanabe's personal slut?

So two of my favorite characters got screwed in this reboot?

Damn I seriously want to murder whoever chose what made it into the reboot and how!
