I dunno, most of these events seem to have little lasting impact (remember Fear Itself? Thor is dead! Until he's not). Since it involves time-travel, I'm more accepting of the limited impact. Also, isn't all of the "oh no, we broke time!" aspect not a lead-in to Hickman's run?

Yeah, they're totally fine AFAIK, although the bindings are probably pretty tight. About Brightest Day, that unfortunately has been an issue with more than a few peoples' copies. My copy has a great binding, luckily, but yeah. That book is an outlier, though. I haven't heard any issues like that particular one with any of the other DC books.
Jeff Lemire's run, which is the only one you need to care about, is collected in volumes 4, 5, and 6.
Angela coming to the Marvel Universe was like a wet fart. They've tried to fit her in but she doesn't work with them very well.

That's half the reason I used it. I find that fact hilarious.

Ethan Van Sciver saying he's happy to resign with DC and Geoff saying it wouldn't be rebirth without him...shiiiit it could be Bouncing Boy Rebirth but I feel like I'd be hyped for those two on a book together. Johns also says more info soon. and a bolt emoticon but its twitter so who knows.
but EvS/GJ doing Shazam Rebirth then a Gary Frank ongoing...
Also is everyone having a good day?
Edit: I pointed out to someone there's no news of a reboot other than BC rumour-mongering and Johns favourited. this feels weird.

I use to think very highly of Ethan, then I found out he was a very very VERY Republican type douche bag, pretty sure he's a bit of the reason Geoff Johns old forum went to shit due to his demands/request. His wife is very nice though. She's a real gem.

Oh I know he's very very republican-y etc (I feel like I can't judge much since I'm not american, just observe) but I feel like when the dude is passionate about a project it is typically quite sterling work. And if he's psyched about working with Johns again that's cool.

Looks fantastic. Luke looks like Kevin Michael RIchardson, so that is how I will be reading his lines in my head.

Beards are the coolest thing right now. I wonder how long till all my favourite female superheroes and comic girls get a beard too.

I would strongly recommend reading Court of Owls/City of Owls (Batman Volumes 1 and 2) before Batman Eternal. Batman Eternal is set in between Death of the Family (Batman Volume 3) and Endgame (Batman Volume 7).

Before that, Zero Year. It's the character's new 52 origin, and also fantastic.

Looks great. Fits Luke and Danny pretty perfectly.

Kind of looks like everyone has Joker mouths. Other than that, looks great.

That rebirth news is getting me hyped, I've been waiting for a Shazam solo since I read John's backups, though I'm sure there's fans who have been waiting since Ordway's Run, which was like 20+ years ago.
I'd prefer Johns to write the series though. There's nothing wrong with Parker, and he's great what he does, but Johns is really good at expanding lore and introducing new villains and concepts. If it's anything like Parker's Aquaman, it will be a bit more mundane. I'd prefer Johns to put in a solid 50 issues then hand it off to someone else like Parker.
That and I'm concerned about the performance of the title. Martian Manhunter hasn't done so well with great storytelling and he's one of the league's core founders for the longest time. I'm concerned how well it would sell without Johns.
Anyway, I think if Johns/Sciver are working on a rebirth I think it will be JSA.

It's been awhile since I read JSA, but I think the robot switched places with the original hourman, to take his spot before Extant killed him.
BKatastrophe
Member
Nope. After the event he leaves to "contemplate his existence." He survives. Hourman doesn't show up again until the crossover, and at that point it's Ryan Tyler..
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
Sorry, didn't realize it didn't work on mobile.

If she gets popular enough they might make a statue ( that they will actually ship to you).

Everyone should add this to their avatar in support of Messi.
Mr. Luchador

Is that a Polish thing?
Freezasaurus

The dot? No. It's the icon DCBS / InStockTrades uses for items that are in-stock for your order but haven't shipped yet.
Messi's Bombshell Batwoman statue has shown that icon and then reverted to not-in-stock (plain white circle) about 20 times at this point.

I've lit a candle for our Messi.

For everything Messi orders, another Electrode dies.

Only? Feels like you've been bringing it up for months. I'm probably underestimating the comparison of the actual flow of time to how much I visit this thread.

It's only a matter of time until it goes back to plain white. If it makes you feel better, they still haven't shipped my Catwoman Cover Girls and 12" Hipster Batgirl statue, and those have been out for weeks.
