Full DC solicits out. Looks like
Batman kills someone
. My guess is
Alfred or Damian, and judging by what Batman and Robin's solicit says it's going to be Damian
. Other than that it looks like everyone gets fucked up.

No way. No way.
No way Bats breaks his rule. Going to be some shit to full the Joker. Unless Bruce retires and Dick takes over.
 
Frankencastle was too good for this world, and died for our sins

seriously

Yeah, the book looks to be exactly what I said it was going to be. Either that or the predictable saw it coming VR experiment.

Either way not going to end good for Hopeless. The book is going to end up making people avoid everything Hopeless writes. Nice knowing you.

Also his X-Force book outside of Forge and his Havok moment is bland as well.
 
People aren't using batman inc. solicits to speculate on death of the family are they?

Solicits for the other Bat-family books, not Inc. Nightwing, World's Finest and Batman and Robin, seem to be the most affected by Death of the Family. Other than Batman, which also sees the return of
Harper Row
.

Well she could also be the new Batgirl...
 
pretty good cover

First off, thanks for posting these images, gets me to notice things i wasn't aware of.

Secondly, captain marvel was amazing when he was Genis Vell and Waid was writing him. After that insane arch was over the character became stale, uninspired and straight up garbage. He was Sentry without the EMO and I really liked it. They messed up that character and I still have all them feels.
 
Will be only good thing about issue unless Emma Rios is back on art. That series is dead to me.

Wish it would actually go somewhere and be something. Out of my main three: Gambit is consistently interesting and goes places, Spider-Man... well clearly, but this? It started off with a time travel arc and now we're at another giant robot thing fight? Probably won't even be cool if the last one was any indication. Hopefully Avengers can give me a more interesting story with Danvers...
 
Looking at sales numbers just makes me cry. Sword of Sorcery has abysmal numbers and falling.....


And glad Snyder is leaving Swamp Thing, such a myopic, meandering and boring series. Should've been so much more.

We can only assume people will pick up the trade....I didn't love the first two issues but thought they were okay, not sure i'' get the trade unless the other issues are well reviewed gaf darlings.
 
Until it gets a new editor and Mieville quits due to being forced to include some plot points as setup for Trinity War, anyway.

I recently read Andreyko's Manhunter series and got so mad when being dragged along with One Year Later destroyed any momentum the book had. I don't think Kate Spencer was even in an issue of 52.

At least it lead to a kitschy courtroom story...
 
Man I wonder what happened to Cassaday. His work on Astonishing X-Men was great, Planetary was amazing...

Uncanny Avengers on the other hand felt rushed and phoned in. He is far from the fastest ones, but with a bit of preparation he could handle a monthly for some time. Anyone remembers if Astonishing ran late? I really don't remember anything besides the hiatus between vol. 1 and 2. I would be OK with that kind of approach on UA.

A seriously doubt he signed for just 4 issues, Marvel was not comfortable with such a big book running late on the second issue. It's comprehensible. I hope everything was handled amicably, enough of behind doors bullshit like DC.

I'm conflicted on Acuna. While I like his art, I would never have thought of him for such a book, nor I think he is a good fit. This is his biggest chance yet, I hope he steps up his game.

lol, yes, it did. Not as bad as Planetary (I think?) but still pretty unacceptable for a monthly.

His work in UA looks rushed because he's rushing.
 
Okay, I think the fever has broken. Ugh!

Guarding the Globe is interesting. I'm not a fan of the Kirkman characters, but as it goes on they bring in more neat characters, and less of Kirkman's fetishistic old white haired guys.

Last two issues of Bloodstrike are next. Liefeld is taking over next month, so it's a good excuse to drop the book.
 
Understatement of the century. The last issue of Planetary took....how long? Like a decade?

Some of the delay was partially due to Warren Ellis, if I remember right. Something along the lines of him being really sick coupled with his father passing away. I could be wrong though.



How FUCKING great would it be for Elijah Snow, Jakita Wagner, The Drummer and Ambrose Chase to just randomly pop up in the "New 52?"

As much as I'd love to see a Planetary guide show up in the Black Room or whatever, I wouldn't feel great about anyone else writing those characters.
 
Anyone else read Justice League Dark #14?
Pandora and Phantom Stranger make an appearance, and hint that the war of the three is coming. At the end of Flashpoint which was Pandora's first appearance doesn't she make a comment about combining the 3? Are they already setting up a major event, possibly changing the NU52 already?

As far as Batman March solicits go
it really does look like Damian, or Alfred are dead. Although it sounds like Tim gets pretty fucked up to from the Teen Titans solicit.


Justice League film will continue the nolan canon

No it won't. The JL film is going to be lead into by the Superman movie, and is going to introduce a rebooted Batman that has nothing to do with Nolan's universe Batman.
 
JGL was my favourite part of that
boring
trilogy, but there's no way they should make him Batman, lol. Nolan-verse can stay on it's own.

Oh shit we agree on something. I don't think that has happened before.


I've been away due to finals this week so I don't really know what you guys have been up to. If this topic has already been past, sorry for bringing it up again, but I just got my hands on Avengers Arena and Cable and X-force early. I have yet to read Cable but I did read Arena. Some of you are going to bitch at the events in the first issue (specifically the last panel) because as comic book fans, that seems to be what we are best at. If you are one of those intense nay sayers about this book than you are going to hate what you see regardless of how good or bad it is because that is what you are mentally prepared to do. Your jerk reaction is that this is the worst book ever. Go back to it after you are done foaming at the mouth because there actually are a lot of interesting developments here both for the character and for comic book traditions. I really can't not say more past that without giving things away.

Also if you are one of those fuckers who claim this book is "mean-spirited" because it's killing off your favorites and you are so self entitled to believe that Marvel had this book made specifically to upset you, I might actually pay someone to kill you and your family.

4chan is throwing a fit.
Shocking. And no, not 4chan. A collective number of like minded circle jerkers are throwing a fit. Which is also news, of course.
