Are the characters in The Movement new, or revivals of some cats I never heard of? I think Tremor is supposed to be an old character.

As far as I know they're new. Except

Spoiler

Rainmaker from Gen13

does show up at one point as a supporting character.

 

[tim1138]

I will but they are so hard to get standing and I dont have as many as I would like.

Who all do you have aside from Vibe and Simon Baz?

 

[Anticitizen One]

How much you guys want to bet the big twist with Justice League 3000 is that they are really the

Crime Syndicate of Amerika

The Superman even looks just like

Ultraman

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Hal, Simon Baz, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Zatana, cyborg, Blue Beetle and Aqualad. Wish Marvel had an equivalent to the DC Direct figures.

I didn't know there was a Zee figure, that's awesome.

Ah see I didn't know that character.

I like her new costume better now that I've seen the old one.

I think Gail said one of her characters from Birds of Prey is in The Movement

Haven't noticed one yet. Which volume of Birds is the character from?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I know Captain Col, Black Manta and Pandora are getting figures this year. Might get Katana latter this month. Hard to do on a non comics superstar salary.

I'm not sure I just remember her mentioning it in an interview before the series came out (I think on newsarama)

The Pandora figure is pretty nice looking, I saw that the other day. If I had the space I'd get Baz, Vibe, and Pandora.

This is the only bit I could find about pre-existing characters:

I can't reveal all the characters, but sharp-eyed readers will recognize Tremor, who first appeared in the Secret Six, and Katharsis, from the very popular "Knightfall" story in Batgirl, two of my favorite recent badass chicks.

She briefly mentions Birds of Prey and Secret Six, but only in a "if you like those, you'll like this" kind of way.

 

[KoruptData]

Looking for New Teen Titans #2 First appearance of Deathstroke. Any reputable online retailers where I may find this? Checked all the local comic shops and nothing.

Yeah, I noticed that last week...confirmed for certain this week.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Think I'm gonna try out the new Batgirl this week. It's been a while since I've read it, and it seems like this upcoming story arc is going to be cool.

 

[ReiGun]

Wait there's a comic coming out based on the new TMNT show?

I'm in there. (Of course, it's just going to remind me of my continual shame at not reading the current TMNT series...)

Edit: Forgot mah list!

Justice League 22
Superman Unchained 2
East of West 4
TMNT Animated 1
Hawkeye 12
Uncanny X-Men 8

The fuck? why is Batman on that Forever Evil cover?

Sometimes you've just gotta go with the flow.

 

[SpiderJerusalem]

lol, I used to think Supergirl had covers with blood on it a lot

I think Babs Batgirl has it beat

 

[ReiGun]

I like that the solicit for Forever Evil 2 says flatout

Spoiler

that the Teen Titans are going to fail. Like it's mocking them.

Also, get hype for the return of the Aqua-beard.

 

[Savitar]

With all the changes to the Nu52 I got a question.

Why does Black Manta still have that dumb ass helmet.

 

[Anticitizen One]

yea I think I mixed up BOP with Secret Six

 

[Jetman]

Haha, and wow, Damian: Son of Batman #1. Well, that didn't take long even if he is in an "alternate universe" (*rolls eyes*). Whelp, there goes my theory that Earth 2 Bats is Damian. I don't think they'd have 2 of those cheeky bastards running around the DC Universe.

 

[BoosterDuck]

please don't cut off his hand again

 

[ReiGun]

please don't cut off his hand again

Or give him a metal bra.

Fuuuuck. Why isn't Geoff Johns handling Rogues' Rebellion? It'd probably be the best thing to come out of Forever Evil if he did.

 

[Owzers]

i dunno, i loved Rogue's Revenge during Final Crisis but i didn't think much of his Flashpoint Rogues story.

 

[ElNarez]

i dunno, i loved Rogue's Revenge during Final Crisis but i didn't think much of his Flashpoint Rogues story.

You mean, the one that was written and illustrated by Scott Kolins?

Also, the current Flash is The Hotness, so them being involved in all things Flash is A Good Thing, you dopes.

 

[B-Dubs]

The fuck? why is Batman on that Forever Evil cover?

Well, Catwoman is on the cover too so it's not a big leap.

 

[BoosterDuck]

what are the Forever Evil books coming out?

 

[Jetman]

Well, Catwoman is on the cover too so it's not a big leap.

True, but her loyalties are always kind of in flux. She does what she has to to survive.

I'm going to go ahead and assume the Rogues mini i'm remembering was the Blackest Night 3 issue Flash one that i read. Now that i looked it up, i skipped Kolins' Flashpoint one.

 

[slightconfuse]

Guys El Narex is speaking the truth. Flash is a dope book under Manupaul.

The Batwing cover is amazing.

Pretty sure that batman looking guy is wraith. he is like the anti batman being introduced in the next decttive arc i think

But they were too lazy to design him an actual costume, so they just copy/pasted Batman.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Forever Evil 1 Directors Cut. Yes!!!!!!

 

[Father_Brain]

Ales Kot might be off Suicide Squad because fuck you we're DC we can't have anything "good" or "smart" or "not a fucking trainwreck"

I had a feeling that this would happen as soon as I read his first issue and realized that he had an actual creative vision for the book.

There's still a chance that he's only temporarily off for the Forever Evil tie-ins, or that he's just being reshuffled to other DC projects, but those tweets lead me to doubt that either is the case.

He's my favorite poster in the thread. Think how great this thread could be if everyone's lists had pictures included.

Walking Dead #111: The ending saved the issue for me

Spoiler

I did not expect that, i presumed spencer would rat out Rick or something and then Negan would set a trap for Rick's return or blow their whole battle plot.

The rest of the issue was boring though, as have the last few since the build up to this battle was done in a very sluggish manner

He changes it up by only posting the finest comics.

I love the way Kirkman is developing Negan's character. When he first showed up, I was assuming he was just going to be Governor 2.0...

I still think he's governor 2.0, but i've liked what he's done in quite a few parts by trying to keep Negan's decisions consistent.

major spoilers for other people who aren't caught up

Spoiler

when Negan killed Glen i had huge flashbacks to the governor beheading Tyrese in a flashy manner, now Negan is slowly working his way out of governor 2.0 for me

He's much

Spoiler

less serious than the Governor was, though. He doesn't take shit personally, but he still handles business. Plus he's got a bunch of hot wives. Also, the comments last issue about "having no guts" were priceless.

That would only be the first actually neat thing DC has done in, like, forever though.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I have faith in DC to do the right thing. Whos the editor on SS, Eddie Berganza?
