Feels like a move to drive sales...TWO #1s in a month! I'm fine with that if they are setting stuff up for the ongoing. Sucks that the marquee book today was filler that did none of that.
Batman: Treading Water #1.
Very minor Green Arrow spoiler, but did anyone else wish he'd

Wasn't the new issue great? I wasn't expecting to enjoy this book so much but it's pretty much everything I love about cape comics. Legacy, crazy heroics, cool guest stars, compelling continuity, fun art. It's the whole package.

Oh the pilot already aired? Damn! Gonna have to check it out.
Action Comics #957 Twice Monthly (w) Dan Jurgens (a) Patrick Zircher, Tyler Kirkham, Stephen Segovia. With this issue, Action Comics returns to its original numbering, which ended at #904, mean that the Nu 52 books have been assimilated into the issue count.
Aquaman Rebirth #1 One-shot (w) Dan Abnett (a) Brad Walker, Jesus Merino, Phil Briones
Detectvie Comics #934 Twice Monthly (w) James Tynion IV (a) Eddy Barrows, Alvaro Martinez. Same deal as Action Comics, moving back to the old numbering, incorporating the NU 52 issues.
Flash Rebirth #1 One-shot (w) Josh Williamson (a) Carmine Di Giandomenico, Neil Googe
Wonder Woman Rebirth #1 One-shot (w) Greg Rucka (a) Phil Winslade
everything highlighted is what I want for next week. Not interested in lex luthor as a character so I gotta pass on Action comics.

Hey you know what's weird? Citizen V still hasn't popped up in any of the new Marvel books. No mention of him anywhere as far as I know. I wonder what the hell happened there? He was all over the promo art.

It's a comic thread tradition to have some drama. It used to happen when there wasn't a lot going on with comics though.
Omega Men isn't out till September? man it sounds really good so I might just get it from Comixology. I'd like to pick up Midnighter as well now that it's done, I think I only read the first issue.
I'd say its number 1 myself.

Civil War II was actually pretty good. I knew I was going to cave and start reading eventually, but not this soon. #TeamCarol
Out of the two Rebirth books I read, I think Arrow was definitely the better book overall, but I liked GL more simply due to the preferable subject matter.
I know the reasoning for Rebirth is technically because Manhattan is fucking with things, but this is clearly just an excuse to reboot everything as DC hopes to draw in new readers while keeping the option to reintroduce parts of the old New52 chronology.

I still say that Batman was a solid issue, but that's from a fan of Snyders run. I will also admit it did not live up to my crazy expectations I had yesterday. It had more of that Snyder feel good flavor when I was expecting that King smart and intellectual flavor.
He will show up when they bring back a Thunderbolts book. Oh wait >_>

Exactly! Thunderbolts actually happened and still no Citizen V, wtf??
Just finished reading Batman and all I can think was that's it. The issue it'sself didn't give me any indication of what Tom King will bring to the table. It felt like one of the Annuals or Interlude issues that Snyder was so fond of using to push Harper Row. The Calendar Man idea was pretty awesome but could have served to be it's own story ark instead of a one off.
Maybe he'll appear in a soon to be cancelled Marvel not Now but Next book.

Wait is Calendar Man not gonna be in the first Batman arc? Wow, huge waste. He was the best part of the issue.

I feel like the big two don't even need excuses even more.
Marvel is going the best way of just outright saying that relaunches will be annualy.
lol nah it is was just a one shot. besides Bat's put the man in a cell within 22 issues. He is going to make a great fit for all star batman though

Bishoujo Wonder Girl painted. November release:
They don't try to justify it, that's for sure.

Yeah, their DC line seems to come out a lot better on the whole than their Marvel ones, though the She-Hulk figures they did were stellar.
Man, you don't even KNOW what OG FigureGAF was like.
Page 1 bro. Page 1.

Technically, they're more retconning in Manhattan for the reason why the New 52 went down the way it did. He's not making any changes now, thus the lack of a reboot.
That's just it, it was solid... and not a lot more.
Yeah, it's weird. I think they wanted to do something with the Rebirth name, literally tie it in to the bad guy, but it's sort of a shame they're not doing something more with him. Maybe later.
Meh.

Oh cool thanks. I'll set my DVR.
how scary is it?
I am one of those people who can read horror stuff but doesn't have the stomach for it(onscreen wise)

I like how there are 5th-hand legends about it.
But it's so weird because it reads exactly like a reboot. Clean-slate introduction to these characters. Hal Jordan is still a butthole, though.

It was the subject matter that tipped the scales for me. Sure GA was well-written, but in normal circumstances (Lemire run aside), Ollie isn't really a character I give two fucks about.
Isn't that typically the idea behind relaunches, the two biggest I can think of are Hawkguy and Burnside Batgirl which both ignored the previous character developments for a clean slate for the most part.
Hmm I like it but have zero interest in the character. I'm waiting for the Jane Thor.
Nah it was locked because some people were creeping the fuck out of the thread. Shame because it was fun before things got out of hand.

Yeah, I guess. Though Batgirl kept the same numbering. It was more of a rebranding in that case.
That one and the Fem Loki are going to be amazing.

DEADLY. CLASS.

I still haven't gotten to Deadly Class or TWD today. Today was all about that Marvel and DC hype.
pretty much two big wtfs in comics today
Shit! I forgot about Paper Girls. Messi got me hooked on that a couple night ago and I went through the entire first arc in about an hour. Classic comics IMO. Gonna read #6 tonight.
Holy shit though...Superman: Rebirth #1...my heart...this is too fucking good. Legit goosebumps.
