I think somebody saw that Didio pitch about Dick Grayson going down a dark path and becoming Batman's greatest nemesis, and after a stream of "Dude...no", Judd Winnick picked up that ball later like "Wait...there are other Robins we can ruin..."

There's got to be more Red Hood comics and appearances than Desthstrokes at this point. He is THE anti-hero for DC.

Deathstroke has appeared prominently in videogames, DTVs, and Arrow. I would not say Red Hood is at that level at all.
Red Hood is getting that treatment too.

Got to love how the BBC have an article on Civil War 3 with the spoiler in the headline. Bit inconsiderate to those who haven't even read it. It's not even been out a day.
I'm not sure what this has to do with Red Hood feeling like a 90s Image reject, so good for him I guess?

Red Hood's more interesting than Tim in the same why little Jimmy's fanfiction.net OC Nightkiller is more interesting than Bruce.

But he's not on TV or in Injustice

He's ascended from 90s reject to godhood.

It's everywhere now. I think New York Daily News were the first with a headline spoiler.
I pretty much noped off the internet last night when it started to surface and made reading the issue my first priority when I got up today, this ain't my first rodeo. Still sucks though.

There's a variant artist that's going to fill in for a while, and they're looking for a bigger name. According to bleedingcool, at least.
Nooo... outside of Wonder Woman I've only been reading Superman titles. Guess it's time to pick up yet another one. Not to mention, Supersons and Superwoman coming down the pike.

Has Jordie Bellaire been doing the colors for Vision all along? I just noticed her name in the credits today.

Yup. She's on the covers, but she's not on the cover for the trade, and is understandably mad about it.

I would be too. Her work is something special.

I woke up at 3am to read it as soon as it was available digitally and then went back to bed. Can't trust the Internet.
I felt like
Kong's origin was fantastic because he is initially painted as a bully, yet as the story goes on you find out that his behavior stems from the death of his mother, and a stern father who disapproves of his son's actions. Kong is cocky and not particularly...heroic. This isn't your typical altruistic underdog who can finally realize his emotional strength with a physical manifestation of it, but instead it's a kid who is rough around the edges who needs to learn the true meaning of the word "superhero."
It's very different.
I LOVED how much personality the writer gave him, too. Like, within the first issue he already has more personality than a bunch of established characters.
My thoughts exactly! Kong is definitely his own hero and not really a copy of anyone
Yet.
I'm anxious to see that journey and his character's emotional growth. Loving all the Superman books TBH.

Ultimates Vol. 1 is $10.99 on Amazon with prime. Probably the first time I've seen a new Marvel trade that wasn't higher than $15.
Yep.
It's a fun way to subvert the typical Superman archetype without doing the overused "evil Superman" trope. Is Kong a bully and a jerk? Absolutely! But like you said, it's a nuanced take on that kind of behavior. I'm not sure I even want him to have the typical redemption arc, maybe he learns to do the right thing, but stays cocky because he's so powerful? That would be an interesting avenue to explore. In the hands of a lesser writer, this book would crash and burn so hard, but Gene Luen Yang is gonna knock this out of the park.

This all sounds rather great.
I wonder what the opinions from any Mainland Chinese readers are like. I was a bit surprised to see who they picked as the writer, to be frank.
Bruce have him the arrow recently as in post-SW
So it would have to be set before the Gamma transfer to Cho. Also, the Accused summary said Hulk harmed people, I got remember Hulk harming anyone, WWH had him warning NY to leave in 24 hours.

Very, very recently.
Bruce references the fact that he hasn't turned into the Hulk for a year in the flashback.
After actually. Bruce seeming gave it to him like a month or two ago which means it was probably after ANAD started.

New Superman was a very solid start.
I hope the Great Ten show up.

I feel like the Cho situation is being ignored.
How so?

Civil War operates under the assumption that Bruce can still Hulk out even though he was cured in Totally Awesome Hulk.
He's cited, but the experiments he has been performing on himself coupled with the prediction had people scared. They gave the character a good ending on TA Hulk and this ruined it though

Why does he wear the mask!?
That's what I said earlier. It was horrible.
I couldn't disagree more and I like her art
