Tim Drake isn't a bad character per say he's just incredibly boring in my book. I did like him in Young Justice and Johns Teen Titans (scumbag Wondergirl move non with standing). I've just never been a fan of the whole finding out who Bruce and dick were lives a pretty normal life. Plus i'm most familiar with him Post Damien and in the New 52. Out of the robins he seems to lack a hook that the other three have.
What was his solo series from the 90s about i'm guessing in vein of Spider-man or Firestorm?

His hook is he's the smartest of the bunch and most tech savvy. He was the detective Robin. But motivation wise, until Identity crisis decided to ruin this, was he was a Robin that didn't do it out of some tragedy or revenge. He also never had or has any interest in being batman. He is Robin to do good and that's it. His personality is more balanced and I always found to be the most normal of the gang. He also helped remove the stigma of Robin being a joke from comics. He had an amazing (non pixie short) costume, it showed people why Robin can work with batman, etc. also they established a great mentor/mentee relationship with Grayson. And around the same time is when Dixon resurrected Nightwing to be really awesome too.
And yea his solo series was Spidey esque. Since he had his dad, juggling a girl friend, school, etc.

Finally caught up on Batman and Robin Eternal. It is firing on all cylinders. I legit love how they are molding back in characters like
,
, and
. This particular weekly hasn't had any single section or issue that I wasn't sucked into, unlike Batman Eternal, which had some rocky sections from time to time. I especially love that I don't know which way they're going to go with Batman's involvement with the Mother character.

I don't especially care about any of the Robins.

Downey Jr posted this on Facebook earlier. Wonder what the chances of solid dick being mentioned in Civil War are.
About John or Hal?
I finished the series this morning and really enjoyed it. I'm mad my man Baz isn't in the mail. Group but overall.I'm glad that we clarent getting all of the earth Lanterns in the spotlight.
The change that members of the Lantern core colors are changing is a smart one. I've been under the belif for the now that the Lanterns should have members of all colors following Johns War of light.

That the series was cancelled.
Its getting a sequel in the form of Edge of Oblivion by Tom Taylor and Ethan Van Sciver.

Is this how the Marvelification of DC numbering begins?
Ah right, I forgot my big take away from the Inhumans part of Cosmic Marvel: how the heck has it survived (up until that point at least) that they have a straight up slave class? Are Alpha Primatives still just straight up slaves that the Inhumans are using, or have they dealt with that topic since all the cosmic stuff? Because regardless of the justifications that it looked like the comics may have somewhat tried to come up with, that's some messed up stuff.

I would say it's too far, but I like Dick as Nightwing much more anyways. Still, though.
You are not wrong. His current one isn't great either. It could be, but that fucking cross-belt...
Eh, part of his motivation is what happened to his dad and mom. Mom was killed and for awhile his dad was completely paralyzed. He has a huge debate with himself wondering if it's tragedy that makes the Robin, and that if tragedy is what's needed to make him a Robin, then does he want to be one? Ultimately, he sort of decides "no" because he disobeys Bruce (which means he doesn't get to be Robin), but then ends up taking up another uniform because the old outfit was too heavy of a burden. So in a way, tragedy helped motivate him, but then not.
Then he proceeded to go stop a mass bio-weapon in France while training with Lady Shiva and beating the hell out of a drug cartel. It was pretty rad.
Oh you in it now!

I really dislike that
Guy doesn't have his red ring anymore. He should stay a red lantern.
Probably I see they're launching quite a few mini series and an anthology book. I wouldn't mind it to be honest.
Dude should have kept the handle bar mustache
Now Wonder Woman catch up time.

No wonder there are so many artists who do more covers than interior work with that pay.
I'm sorry you mean Stormfront, right? You mean the publisher who changed their name to that of a well-known internet hangout for actual honest-to-goodness neo-nazis?

LIES. Carey Kelley is king.
Bluewater changing their name to Stormfront is both jaw dropping and 100% believable

I remember that Brian Hurtt post that went around several months back, I think he said something like he got a page rate for Big Trouble in Little China with no royalties on top of that

I can tell you right now if comics go up to $4.99 I'm going to drop a fuckload of them. That's the point where shit becomes too expensive to be worth the money.
Boom Comics pays great!
I had to check, and they're still called Stormfront Entertainment, and, really, if that's not proof this goddamn industry is just too dumb to live, I don't know what is.

$4 was that for me. I don't pull any Marvel and DC titles other than JL and Amazing Spider-Man because of it. I may buy a few issues of another title but if it isn't god-tier then it gets dropped.

Earth 2: World's End Vol. 2
Been a hell of a ride, I can say that. This series has been so intense, fun, and emotional. It all finally built to the perfect conclusion: an unbelievably pyrrhic victory. The heroes constantly get smacked down and stand back up. These are goddamned superheroes, and I loved this book so much.
Now then, time for Convergence.
Uncanny X-Men #1
1). Why is Archangel still a thing? Last I checked, he got completely tabula rasa'd. Now he's Archangel again? What? Why?
2). If Land wasn't on this book, I would like it so much more. GIVE ME ACUNA DAMN IT!

Carol why are you bad? Regardless, I think I'm gonna like this book. It's got some hype stuff, plus I'm pretty sure it'll be just adorable to infinity. Medusa's cold tho. Damn girl.
I really liked the SW tie-in, and this seems to be just a direct continuation. Works for me.
But I want to read X-Men books...

Animal Man #1 - #4: Gives us a very quick insight into Buddy's powers without too much exposition. Shows us the the family dynamic and starts hinting at what is going to make Animal Man tick going forward. B'Wana Beast was fairly cool, will have to look for his other stories. All in all, a good opening arc to a superhero run though seems fairly standard at this point. Not like Doom Patrol, which hit you with the weirdness starting from #1.
Animal Man #5: Huh.

So we get rid of Carol, and replace her with Raz...Just spitballing, here. I really love this book, though. At some point we need a big damn fight scene, though. We have yet to get there, but we will. And when we do, it will be a glorious day.
I mean, I don't think I'm Olivia Wilde or Harley Quinn...

I need an adult, hot cocoa, a bedtime story, and a nightlight.
Goddamn
Why don't I like Carol? Because she's basically a female Hal Jordan, and I don't like Hal. Though, Hal's kind of a piece of shit. Carol isn't. So Carol is actually more boring...
