Oh man, this looks interesting.
I don't think it's a bias towards DC at all. It's just that right now DC is doing a lot right, and Marvel has been a bit of a mess lately.

DC doing it better than Marvel atm, that's all. When DC fuck up and Marvel does well we'll be Marvel fanboys again

Lol, are they finally putting out Mystic U? I remember them announcing that 2 years ago. Maybe Dark Universe will see the light of day (both were DCYou books that never materialised)
I think I could maybe raise you on this haha. Depends how impassioned you are

You want to read Legion Lost, the non New 52 version. That's Abnett and Lanning's run.
Abnett and Lanning started with Legion of the Damned, a storyline that ran through both of the existing Legion books at the time. Legion Lost is the true jumping on point, which ran concurrently with Legion Worlds.
Once that was over, they had The Legion which ran for 38 issues and finished off their run.
It's not really a bias. Some folks go hard, but jump back... 2 years ago and you'll see the same in reverse. In another 2 years, DC will get too heady and start making poor moves and Marvel will be recovering from being the maligned underdog.

My kingdom for a young Hellboy book
Pepe Larraz doing that Avengers panel is interesting and fuels the rumors about what he's working on.
Bemis is who I've been wanting since we knew a Moon Knight book was coming. The perfect choice.
Oh my God if Avengers is Aaron and Larazz. I might just die.
If we give the rumors credence then Larraz would be doing a maxi-series(written by Aaron I would assume) that leads up the Aaron/Ribic book and the relaunch. If those rumors are fake than we still know that Larraz is working on a book with this hinting that it might be something Avengers related.

I'm confused. Armbands aren't okay anymore because Nazis had them? Superman #75 came polybagged with an armband. IS THAT NOT OKAY ANYMORE!?
Who is this Larazz fellow? Never heard of him.
Lol at the idea that Ribic can be ongoing these days.
Where's his image book they announced 2 years ago?

Looks like Snyder and the other creators on Metal got their wish. The JL tie-ins have been renamed from Justice Insurgence to Bats Out Of Hell.
The delays to SW due to Ribic were insane.

Pepe Larraz draws the best Rogue
I wouldn't expect him to stay on long if true unless the book has some crazy artist rotations or something lol.
Best Rogue by far

Yeah, I guess yesterday's Batwoman was like a prequel to that story. It seemed pretty cool.

Is this where he's a Nazi? I saw that reported yesterday

I think so.

I don't know about that. There were some similarities, but there always are when you're looking for them. I think there's just this paranoia hanging everywhere now that we're living in the era of God King Trump. Suddenly everything is a Nazi.

Well, no. But the fact that he's
essentially got Gotham on lockdown and has his own Batman stormtroopers is where the comparison came from.

There was a world in Multiversity where everyone was a Nazi.

There was something reported where an alternate universe Batman would appear who was a fascist and it was coming in November.

This is definitely the book referenced. He's fascist, sure. How much of a stretch the term Nazi becomes in relation to it remains to be seen. The Batman himself in this story is

Hahaha. When I hear the dreaded "SJW" term, THIS would be a real example of it, not just normal people fighting for equality and diversity.
Hmm I haven't read much Legion stuff past the 80s. But Superman and the Legion of Superheroes by Geoff Johns was a great story and I think it would be a pretty good book for someone who hasn't read much. I have a friend who read this as his first Legion story and he said it immediately made him love the team.
I think there's a miniseries coming up where Nightwing is a fascist dictator or something like that.
Maybe you're thinking of that.
Edit: okay I didn't get the synopsis exactly right in my head. I guess Nightwing heads a government organization that hunts down and eliminates anybody with powers.

Okay, now I'm hyped.
Man, I love Tim. And this takes place after his story line in Detective Comics. But hopefully he finally gets some love. Dude has been shitted on for way too long by DC. Tynion hasn't disappointed me so far in Rebirth so hopefully it delivers.

Should I read the Simonson Orion omnibus now or wait until the Fourth World omnibus comes out and read that first?

Read the Fourth World omnibus first.
If your referring to what I think you are the full quote is:
All of the Spencer Cap stuff is political. I wonder what would have happened if Trump was already in office before the Hydra Cap stuff was pitched.
The American Way
Seeing the new American Way series I decided to read the original one.
I thought it would be just a story of race but no it's also a but of a cold war story where the premise is the use of propaganda war that was going on but with superheroes with race as well. I do like some of the twist and as well as the commentary capturing the racial and cold war tension and frustration at the time from the minorities. Some of which feels oddly relevant.
Though I do question like
I do enjoy the book and will read the new one.

why the girl with the time powers even joined the southern group in the first place especially when she seems to hate them
