I definitely get that.
I imagine part of the problem was not having enough time with the remaining issues to introduce these things as slowly as had been intended.

Star Wars is the best thing ever created, its the best time to be alive.
Yeah, as long as it's not this week, and my miserable lack of reading books when they actually come out isn't a problem.
I feel so weird sometimes for not liking Star Wars that much.
Luckily my brother in law isn't a fan either. He watched it with friends and while his mates were pretty enthousiastic, he thought the movie is a "kids movie". I told him he should be glad he doesn't have to go to Atlanta for business trips anymore; people will get mad as hell.

I'd be interested in listening to it, not sure what I could bring to the podcast though.
Love it. It's my #1 book of 2015.
Mine is Saga but I can see the appeal of this.

But damned if it isn't gorgeous, right?
Ehhh... it was pretty good. But not top tier tbh. Too many good looking books nowadays.

Well damn
I will agree with this. Jh Williams work on Batwoman is stunning.
Superman Red Sun was great. I loved the concept, the writing was solid, and the character designs were perfect.
Now kind of alternating between the Graphic Ink Darwyn Cooke book, the Marvel NOW Omnibus, and DC Wednesday Comics.
I thought it was one of the best looking N52 books out there. Manapul is easily in my top 5 favorite artists.

We actually got Cass back so I can't be too down on current Batbooks though.
Reminds me that I have to read Batman Eternal at some point.

I would.
What are the Bat books currently
Batman
Batman and Robin Eternal
Batman Superman
Detective Comics
Grayson
Batgirl
Robin Son of Batman
We are Robin
Gotham Academy
Red Hood and Arsenal
You could probably count Catwoman also as it closely ties.
Am I missing something? That's a stacked list. But it's more good than bad. DC's problems seem to be outside of the Batman brand.

I mean, the Bat-universe is huge, but they're varied enough that it doesn't feel like they all have to be looked at together. And, honestly, I feel like the bat-universe is one of the best lineups they have going.
I'd agree with that. To an extent books like Harley Quinn are also in the bat universe but it has so little to do with the main titles which is nice. I like most of the bat books.
No.

Glad you like it. Johns Flash run was my first introduction to the character (outside team books) and love it. And you soon will see Tim Drake robin is best robin.

Spurrier's X-Force is close, but so far from what I've been reading: No.
I really like Tim based off of B:TAS and Batman: Hush. Batman Eternal Tim is too serious. Dixon putting in that work. Main reason I picked it up was because I was interested in the character and I like Dixon as a writer.
Yeah, I really like Tim Drake. I'm excited to start reading Robin: Reborn. I'll probably start it sometime in the next week or so.

Dixon is the best Tim writer. He's one of the few that really get him. Loved his Robin run. Dixon was always the best with the Bat family. Robin, Nightwing, Birds of Prey. He was great in all of them.

We'll be like, reading buddies!
I'll check out his BoP run next. Does his happen before or after Simone's? Because I'm also gonna look at hers at some point, too.

Before. He's the one that created BoP

BC has some story issues, yeah. We go Battle of the Bands to government whatever to alien superpowers to what looks like a time travel mindscrew in waaaaay too little time.
Fitting in all those storylines before it gets canned in a few issues.

I only lasted a few issues. I initially liked it, but it got really boring really quickly. Pity, because I like the character and the art.

Hijinx usually implies fun and hilarity, so no. I wouldn't classify it as such.
But it tries to be one?
I kinda dislike that most female lead book more aim in this direction... At least it seems like this for me...
Freeza stop hating everything

I'll be honest, I dropped it at issue 3 or 4 out of boredom.
I don't hate it. I mean, BC is realtively low on the Freeza scale of dislike
1 (Black Canary) - - - - - - - - - - 5 (Paper cuts) - - - - - - - - - - 10 (Needles) - 12 (Tess Fowler)
Not even close
It really doesn't. A hijinks book is something like Harley Quinn. Black Canary takes itself and its story way too seriously to be a hijinks book. I don't believe that is what they are trying for.
Shitting on Tess Fowler really isnt funny anymore.

I haven't read the last few issues, I'm sorry

I understand, there are lots of issues that come out quickly. I fell behind aswell but caught up over the holidays. I forgive you.

Your reactions have kind of made it into a running joke for me. I don't actually hate her.
Oh hey, I answered your Bart Allen/Flash question in last month's thread if you missed it.
The ambiguity was intentional on my behalf as I have no idea if that is an insult or compliment.
In the context of the scene I believe
he is flipping him off, some disagree.
