Yea...I'm still hoping this is all a miss-direct, but the fact they gave it to CNN probably means well you know...

Would that be issue #17? I'm doomed not getting this spoiled before i get my monthly dcbs shipment....

Yes it is. If CNN got the preview, then I'll bet the issue makes the news. ASM 700 sure as hell did.

Good the whole line needs to be shut down. Just have 1 green lantern book under the Justice League group and if it sells strong then add a companion title.

i too want to read about this, but GOOD. Corps and New Guardians were a drag until i dropped them. The whole Green Lantern concept needs a revamp, i love the rainbow corps but how the books were split up was ridiculous.

That Green Lantern price tag :p I'm in though of course to wrap this all up.

Honestly it should be two books tops. A book about the main Green Lantern from Earth, then a book that treats the rest of the Lanterns acting like the marines (have a group of four or so and send them on missions to save planets and stop wars and shit).

It all went downhill when they decided to start that Green Lantern Emerald Warrior book combined with bad crossovers. Last time i liked the Green Lantern franchise as a whole was during the build up to blackest night.

I want a Guy Gardner Warrior book please. And if your DC you gotta start hyping your June changes now. Can't announce it at midnight on the ducking Huffington Post. Need to hype that shit up with crappy PR like Axel Alonso and Joe Quesadilla.

This is something I hate about comics in general. Once they get one book that sells gangbusters they start iterating on it and make it a "franchise" which can dilute the quality of the main book. They get you hooked on a line of comics so you're spending four times the money to get all the comics from a series you like instead of just the one, or 2 in GL's case.

It's why marvel cosmic was awesome . You got nova for solo adventures and GOTG for team adventures/bigger galactic threats

Barely a few issues into All New X-Men and Uncanny X-Men is announced, taking away half the plot threads that could have went on in All New, with a writer notorious for not having enough content to fill his books. Before GotG and Ultron are even released, talk of an event that takes place regarding GOTG and All New X-Men and Ultron's fallout begins. This is going to happen Xo.

They killed what i loved. I started getting into dc because of the great reviews on Sinestro Corps war and i LOVED IT. Then i watched the franchise wither.

Yeah, uh, Batman #17 is out. Abandon the internet if you don't wanna get spoiled. Everyone else, you probably know where to look.

All I'm gonna say is facepalm.jpg

Someone PM me the website or forum that they are reading these Batman 17 spoilers on. Not seeing anything on BC.

EDIT: And I agree that it would be bad form to post them here. Even spoil tagged.

And just a reminder for everyone,

3. Direct posting of images or spoilers from comics that have yet to be released is strictly prohibited, and outgoing links to such should be accompanied by the appropriate spoiler warnings.

You can say it was amazing, you can say it was crap, but that's pretty much all you can say; you can't talk about what actually happened in this thread until Wednesday, and even then use spoiler tags.
