The only thing that I feel like will piss him off is
Part of the issue is that some people don't trust the guys in charge of DC and it's only been a month.

Fair enough, fair enough. I didn't love Detective's latest ish but I'm looking forward to the new issues of Supes and GA. Maybe some books will be able to support it. If I were a betting man I'd wager we're talking about a minority of books/teams. But we'll see what happens.
Well, in fairness to the point he's making, I'm only really talking about Aquaman, myself, and to a lesser extent Green Lanterns (which is a book I don't read anyway). Just couldn't help but come away from that book with a deep sense of foreboding and a gut feeling that DC didn't really plan this out very well.

Why does he wear the mask!?
I really love Negan, he is probably the only person in the WD universe I'd be sad over if/when he dies.
Like you say though, the whisperers haven't got a lot going for them, over than numbers. Wonder how Kirkman hypes up the Whisperer War.

Yeah I'll cop to that. I had a lot of good will and enthusiasm for Rebirth but trust? Nope.
Sometimes you can get to much of a book. It happened to me with Harley when they were double shipping and sometimes triple shipping it with annuals and her other series. It wears you out and eventually I stopped buying them. I love harley and if they can burn someone like me out then they have problems.
lol damn. Well those people gotta chill some. DC will be fine.
Edit: the people worried the most about the bimonthly shipping are the same people who were dissing rebirth day one

Same thing happened to me with ASM's Brand New Day era, and like you with Harley, I have a lot of love for Spidey. And there have been lots of times when I've pulled multiple books starring plain ol' Peter-Man, back when he actually had a few books all to himself. But the approach in BND with all the rotating teams trying to tell one story was a failure for me.

Why is everyone hating on Aquaman? It was alright.
One problem though -
Manta earlier states he'll kill Mera to bring pain to Arthur, yet in this issue

he agrees that if he kills Arthur he'll have nothing, he can't bring pain to him etc....But he could kill Mera? That would hurt Arthur more than anything else.
They will eventually if those guys do what they're supposed to. You're telling people to get over something they've been holding onto for years because of a single month of books.
The only reason I could read ASM like that back then was because I was new, skipping issues, and didn't read any other books. I wouldn't be able to stand that with the way I read books now.

We need a new version of this.
I have been excited for rebirth from the start. It doesn't make my concerns any less valid.
You have been excited for rebirth. The first week of rebirth you said you are dropping all it. Or are you ultimate universe messi lol. Think that was same week you said it was all trash Ayye
Edit: sandfox you are right. A lot of people are overcoming there distaste with DC after new 52. 1 month isn't going to change minds but it is a step in the right direction

wtf is this nonsense
I'M fucking worried about the precipitous drop in quality among fill in artists and i've probably literally NEVER dissed rebirth i LOVE rebirth
correlate you're talking points buddy before george saunders writes a new yorker article...
ABOUT YOU
Did I actually drop any of it? I didn't.
I more meant I was excited about the prospect of it from announcement to release. I still am but I don't think it is sustainable. Much like I have problems with Marvel and their pricing vs quality.

Your first mistake was taking anything said in this thread seriously. I don't even like Valiant!
You buy everything though XD

Damn, DC gave the full Sandman treatment to Absolute Preacher. Faux leather cover, gold embossing, etc. I didn't even enjoy the first couple of trades much and I want to buy this.
But isn't Aquaman the only fill in artist outside of GL rebirth? Everything else was already planned to have rotating artist
Only about 15 titles are being shipped twice montly out of the whole line. From it, I can see Batman/Detective, Action Comics/Superman, Green Arrow, Nightwing, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Harley Quinn staying. DC has already said that their going to check and adjust as necessary.
Also, I personally couldn't care less about a fill-in if it actually has art that I like.

Switch is a fun book. Plenty of action and snappy dialogue in each issue.
At relaunches I do, I try everything. By the end of DC's last run I was pulling 6-10 books max. Same with Marvel I started buying everything from ANAD and ive dropped a fair number. I like giving everything a chance from the big two.
Sejic is pretty good, I agree. Death Vigil was exactly like that.
Pics please! Want to know what it looks like

Green Lanterns
ALSO, the plan on their "bigger" books is sensible. They've clearly got Batman set up okay, and Wonder Woman is basically telling two stories side by side with different artists, but the "smaller" books aren't given that luxury, they're more thrown together.
And skimming a solicit three months ago is different than picking up from a cliffhanger with a completely fucking different artist in your face so don't come with that already planned shit. If it's a shitty plan I don't care when the fuck they came up with it
I didn't say the fill artist was planned. Some of the books already have planned rotating artist. Shit happens man.
I really hope Batman doesn't suffer from too many filler issues by being bi-weekly. #2 felt very bare and quick. The worst part of it is that King's Batman/Bruce is written very oddly. That part about not trusting Alfred had me legit confused. There's still a lot of potential for this story but I hope it actually goes somewhere interesting.

Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
I didn't either, and I actively looked for the change
This too. It looked the same from the previews.
I don't like the art from any of the Aquaman issues though
Ooooohhhh, that's nice.
I am too, even for the simple fact that it ties in with Nightwing and Detective which are pretty much the only other Bat-titles I plan to pull monthly, besides All-Star when that starts.
I already knew all the bi-monthly titles. I was just making a prediction on what will stay a bi-monthly. Which is why I already counted out JLA, Deathstroke, Cyborg, and the GL Books.
Dat Tomasi and Gleason combo. I feel the exact same, I don't care for Superman including All Star but this book is goooood.
Ayye. Batman fighting giant monsters is going to be some fun stuff

I'm convinced that was a joke. Messing with the new kid.
Edit; and yeah, I gotta agree, Aquaman was never a really good looking book to me anyway? Haven't gotten to this issue yet, though, so maybe it really is that much of a step down.

That's good to hear. Loved Tomasi/Gleason's work on B&R. Looking forward to the trades.
When is New Super-Man #1 coming out?
I believe in 2 weeks. Don't quote me on it

Avengers don't kill, but are not inherently opposes to other super heroes killing. During the apokalypse twins crap, Grim Reaper assumed he would be fine since the Avengers wouldnt kill him due to their "Princess" principles, only to find out they sent heroes who do kill after him.
