Man that Egyptian story was dope :/

It's like all tie ins. Some are good, some are bad. I'd recommend Thors, Where Monsters Dwell, and Weirdworld.

Is this before or after you throw up a poorly placed ice wall costing some of your teammates kills while getting others killed?
Thors
Secret Love
Siege
That's it. and Love is only 1 issue.
I'm smart, I block the other team from advancing...only to go around the wall.
Yeah Where Monsters Dwell 1 was indeed not bad at all.

Why would you star with the anthologies? What else were you expecting from them?
I feel the same way.
Nu52 was disappointing overall as there were quite a few misses mixed in with the few gems. With Rebirth I haven't read anything that I've truly disliked and have read some that I quite liked (Detective, Green Arrow, Batman, Aquaman). July looks like it should add some good titles as well. I'm hopeful that the new Birds of Prey will turn out well as the Dixon/Simone runs of that before Nu52 were some of my favorite comics. It sounds like the sales are good as well, so DC might be in the midst of a much needed turnaround.

Oh, yeah. Secret Love for sure.
You've got a point. And I'm fully prepared to admit that I played with fire and wanted to read the possible worst first. But my point is that I had no idea this was this bad.
Ok I have A Force, Infinity Gauntlet and Old Man Logan to read, let's hope for the best.

What are you looking to pick up?

Better choices.
A-Force and Infinity Gauntlet were two of my favorites. Heard good things about OML too.
As for the anthologies what did you think of the DD, Sinister, Elektra story? That is the one that stuck out above the rest for me.
fuck it, I don't trust anyone of y'all to not snipe
Have you purchased it yet? What page is it? Can I still email them?

This is why you keep that shit on the DL until it's in your house.
Oh hell no, I ain't even sharing this with my guy Filthy Slug until I make a decision.

Like every other event based tie in ever.
I knew you'd try to double cross me ed, so I gave you the contact info for Greg Land and Brett Booth's guy.
not sorry.

I just read the first few 1's for now.
Can you tell me what it is? Don't say it publically or Zombeen will steal it.

We're talking comics. Sales of everything other than Batman will be in the toilet five issues in. DC is enjoying dual #1s hype for most of their line.
Quality has been fairly decent overall. I've only dumped one book so far (Green Lanterns), and am on the fence with two others. But I can see myself purchasing 4-5 titles per month, which is 4-5 more than I was buying before Rebirth.

I read Deadpool's Secret Wars and thought that was not worth my time. Still plan to read all tie-ins.
Read the first issue of 52! Montoya is in it! And Plastic Man (who is creeping on someone dressed in a flamenco type dress)!
I am a bit confused with the timing though. It is clearly after Indentity Crisis because of what Ralph Dibny is going through (-_-) . But Barry Allen (?) is talking about Wally West, so this is before whenever Wally disappeared?

52 will be a treat. It takes place in the lost year after Infinite Crisis.
It's true that it's all relative, but I do think that they might come out of this in better shape than they have been in for the last few years, particularly if the quality stays high as that should partially limit the inevitable drop from issue 1 to issue 2.

They were far more interesting than the main title and most of what came after.

That's Bart Allen, the former Impulse and Kid Flash, who was the Flash for awhile after Infinite Crisis
at least until he died. He got better though.
Finished Batman Earth One Vol 2. I really like this series and volume 2 felt very Nolanverse-inspired in many ways. It's a really cool take on retelling Batman's early career with neat and interesting twists on certain characters and their relationships.
One big similarity it has to the Nolan movies I noticed was that Batman really isn't "peak" Batman and he feels very grounded. He kind of sucks and makes mistakes but is still very smart and can hold his own in hand-to-hand combat,
The "twist" towards the end regarding
was super cool and knowing what this Earth One series is, it felt like a fitting twist yet was still a genuine surprise I did not see coming.
It's sort of disappointing that this is a series where each volume is few and far between, especially since Johns is taking a break from comics right now. I guess that just makes each new book feel significant and not just like an ongoing comic that comes out every few months. I'll be really excited when a volume 3 is announced. What makes the wait worse for me is the HCs come out first and I have these first two in TPB. :/

except when fighting beings like Croc, who I thought was a decent addition to the story.

I'd love to go to SDCC but only if they move it to St Louis.
