Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Yeah and Spielberg wanted to show the shark a lot. Sometimes constraints are good.

Really digging the idea behind that cover, but the suit should blend more with the background. And, I'm wondering if Gillen is really going to do this as big and insane as it sounds.

Friendly reminder to link to the news you post about, if no one else in the thread has previously done so.
These look more like teaser images than covers, but minor nitpick. The Teen Titans one more or less confirms the rumors that
this is a big Crime Syndicate story
Is this a new series or something? Do you have a link?

Has Deathstroke been in the new 52 Teen Titans?

I posted it yesterday. It's the next IM storyline.

So I picked up all four volumes of 52 from the library and I plowed through volume 1 already. This thing is the best DC thing I've ever read. I come across as a DC hater (and for good reason sometimes), but this book is amazing.

It's also worth grabbing the 52: Covers hardcover, just because there was some great cover art, and it's great to see it all without logos plastered all over the artwork.

Can't second this enough. Phenomenal stuff.
Ask Rafa, he might be the only one here reading it. Dude literally buys every book.

52 is amazing. Fun Fact: Apparently Dan Didio absolutely hated it.
I think he only made a quick cameo. If that. He might have just been interacting with that other young super team, the one Caitlin Fairchild ran off with. Slade and Caitlin have some kind of connection via new52 magic, and serving with her Team7 father. Plus it appears his daughter Rose is involved with that other team too. The Titans had some crossover events with them, but I don't think Slade has appeared in their book..
The 52 event and the one before it were pretty cool, yeah.
the New 52 "permanent retcons" have been kinda suck.

The biggest challenge was actually, wisely, kept from us by Steve [Wacker]. EIC Dan Didio, who first championed the concept, hated what we were doing. H-A-T-E-D 52. Would storm up and down the halls telling everyone how much he hated it. And Steve, God bless him, kept us out of the loop on that particular drama. Siglain, having less seniority, was less able to do so, and there's one issue of 52 near the end that was written almost totally by Dan and Keith Giffen because none of the writers could plot it to Dan's satisfaction. Which was and is his prerogative as EIC, but man, there's little more demoralizing than taking the ball down to the one-yard line and then being benched by the guy who kept referring to COUNTDOWN as "52 done right."
Two things to take from this:
1. Steve Wacker make come off like a snarky douchebag on internet message boards, but he's probably the best editor the Big Two have. Not only did he get 52 out every damn week with quality results, but he got 100 issues of ASM done in the Brand New Day, 3 issues a month, with several different creative teams and stories all running around. He's also not afraid to take chances on "weird" artists for his mainstream superhero books. What other editor would have allowed Humberto Ramos, Emma Rios, and Eric Canete draw the Amazing Spider-Man?
2. Countdown is ass, stfu Didio

Im nt in on that Harley Quinn book. It will probaably have boring art like Suicide Squad. That broad needs to pickup her pencil set and get back to drawing.
You don't like Patrick Zircher's work on the current run with Ales Kot?

Yeah the Pre-New52 DC was so poppin. They were firing on all cylinders, and then they had to go fuck it all up.
Countdown was good though. I put all the DC number books in the same series.
This description makes me think of a Hawkeye-esque approach:
"The Suicide Squad book has Harley spending time with other heroes and bad guys," Palmiotti is quoted. "This book will focus on Harley and her life, where she lives and how she functions, as well as her motivations and solo adventures"
http://www.newsarama.com/18379-conner-palmiotti-team-on-new-harley-quinn-ongoing-series.html
That would certainly be nice. It's a shame that Conner is not doing the art, however. At first look I was thinking this might be similar to the Power Girl series, which I loved.

I have not, but i'll look into it.
Conner not being on art is disappointing. And yo, classic Harley design is the best, and really, the only Harley.
yo, who did this cover, I'm intrigued

I wonder how you even pitch a Prison Pit animated series
"Ok look, there's this monster made completely out of semen right? And the protagonist guy gets high and his left arm sucks him off at the same time, ya know? Then this other guy eats out the ass of this nazi monster thing-a-jig because hey, people gotta take showers in prison pit ya know? And..."

Suicide Squad is one of the few DC books I dont read. Fact if the matter is Amanda needs to get back to drawing, give her a bunch of lead time. She should not be doing only covers.
Collider is finally here. I sure hope it is everything I imagined.

Never thought I'd drop a Frank Quitely book, but holy hell Jupiter's Legacy is about as subtle as a gamma-irradiated bull in a china shop, and you can see every single damn plot point coming. Do not buy, not even for the best comic storyteller working in the western comic industry.

To echo my post on Snyder earlier in the thread.

When I think about how relatively new Scott is in comics, it fills me with excitement. I mean, if this "new guy" is this good? Damn. Juswait

He's a relatively new writer all together. As far as anything outside of comics goes he's got one book of short stories. That's almost nothing. Snyder has a lot of room to grow and so far Zero Year shows that he's not afraid too.

This has me planning to pick up Day Men #1 tomorrow. Check out this artist. It's always nice to support publishers that seem to actually give a crap about the artists and, you know, the story.
Why am I not excited about Collider? I read preview and interviews and I just can't care. It wasn't made for me then, you say? Fair enough.
What was made for me was this Atomic Robo Kickstarter. I don't think I'll be able to resist the $100 pledge rewards. A HC! Shirts! Junior Action Scientist card signed by Robo, Brian and Scott! I think I'll dip for this even though the extra $20 for delivery to Canada hurts.
No question Wacker is a excellent editor though I do wish he'd be a little nicer on said internet boards, maybe spend more time talking to dedicated fans about storylines/the business instead of people who get angry at creative decisions. Still, the guy is on plenty of books I like and gets them out so all power to him.
Also: sign me the fuck up for the Harley Quinn ongoing, I just wish they'd give her back her old look, or at least closer to it. Please let the creative team give her a new costume DC

I had my Nook HD+ set up to stop updates by removing permission to access the site that updates come from.
After searching for a while and assuring myself that trying out the newest version wouldn't break root, I upgraded. Huge mistake. Now I have to reinstall all my apps and download all my comics again.
Oh, and stock sucks shit for comics. Full screen or GTFO.

Yes and no. Maybe? Mostly no? The depiction of Mettle suggests experiments of a Frankenstein nature. But it wasn't a robot that got blown up. It was the same artist and he was shown as having a normal skeleton.Chris seems pretty dead, considering who's in the other tank. And it's suggested that Apex flatlined since Arcade is talking about her in the past tense. Then again, future solicits suggest otherwise, unless the number two is just a coincidence.
