Woah, I might have to wait for it to come down a bit then. I'm interested but not $60 interested. Glad to hear it's a good time though.

So no to cake?
I didn't know he was in it. I buy my books on comixology and don't read previews exc. But hey it must be personal.

Yeah, you have to be overly cautious with this stuff. I don't read any preview material or interviews on this stuff. All of my comic news comes from this thread, and depending on the publisher I read stuff anywhere from release date to six months behind. I fully understand I'm going to see spoilers, but typically not the same damn day a book releases. Poor form.
It was boring. And the way it set up the story going forward seems like it will be a real slog to read. I'll give it one or two more issues before it's bye bye Rucka Woman.
Funny, this and Batman were two of the three Rebirth books I was most excited to read, and they ended up being among the worst.
Congratulations! You just read three bad books. Toss Aquaman in there for a perfect quadrilogy. My suggestion is to pick up Green Arrow, Flash, and Detective Comics. Those were great. Even Action Comics is better than what you've read.
Never cake. Banana bread over cake.

Hey, guys, let's keep in mind that not everyone reads everything, or gets to new issues, around the same time, so information and details that might seem obvious to some might be unknown/spoilers for others
The thread rules are there to keep the community a friendly welcoming place and the last thing I imagine we'd want is for newcomers or vets alike feeling cautious or wary to enter these threads
So especially with new issues, spoiler tags would be ideal and respectful for the entire spectrum of reading habits here

Nah JC, don't be like that. I am sure some of us like you. I know I do.
Can't really dispute that.
Same with me.
I just spoiler tag every little thing. I don't want to spoil any small detail for people. I could have come here and spoiled all of Lazarus HC 1 today as its over the time limit by the rules but I didn't because its a shitty thing to do.
July ot crabs among us
Please brother. That isn't the case with me. I tried to explain why they got mad, and what is expected of all of our members including myself. People generally feel as if community threads are a place where the rules can be bent due to mods being busy elsewhere, but general shittiness toward one another is against TOS. This is more or less a reminder that we shouldn't be instigating one another and should stick to the topic at hand. Comics. The Overwatch takeover was grating as it is, we don't need some stupid nerd war over post counts and differing opinions on books or whatever.
You know you're all fucked when I'm the voice of reason. Back to not meeting my Comic goal for the month.

I believe at one point there was an actual story involved. Not sure if it was a campaign or what, but certainly more to these characters. "Buy" the free comics on Comixology if you want the back story!
Don't.
Amen about the instigating Around here. It's fun in games till it goes from comic talk to calling a person a dick/shitty
As the king of comic GAF I decree we get back to comics
black panther reference
Try Super Awesome Lesbian BDSM Romance comic Sunstone. If you have tried that please get volume one of Stjepan Sejics Death Vigil. It is really fucking good and more people need to read it. Vol 2 in spring. The trade collects 8 huge issues, its a beast.
My ranking for the first month's batch of Rebirth books:
Green Arrow
Flash
Detective Comics
Wonder Woman
Green Lanterns
Action Comics
Superman
Batman
Aquaman
Basically the books I thought I would like based the announcements were the ones I ended up enjoying the most. If I were to recommend books to someone wanting to get into DC for the first time I'd go with Green Arrow, Flash, Action, Detective, and Green Lanterns.

Tec is the best
Flash if you want a sequel story to rebirth

Civil War II: Gods of War (aka Hercules #7): So, a direct continuation of Hercules which is cool because I dug that book. Pretty much picks up right where we left off with Hercules, fine with me, there were all kinds of loose threads left dangling when they canned that book, but I can see this being pretty confusing for people who are just picking up CW II tie-ins.
Seeing
was cool if a bit random. The struggles Hercules is dealing with feel very authentic even if they get pushed a little too hard here...except
which they seem to have walked back. Pretty interesting that
I'm guessing this side story is going to be completely non-essential to the main event but I'm excited to see where it goes, looking forward to the next ish.
Only one of the three I've read so far is Action Comics and it was really fun. Zany, even.

Ulysses can't see the Uprising Storm.

Death Vigil seems like something that's up my street so if it's at the store I'll definitely pick it up. I did say I was going to get into Sunstone at some point so might get it as well. I was thinking Copperhead or Huck.
That's cool I've really enjoyed Lois and Clark so want to like the new Superman ongoings.
Agreed.
I have never been excited for cape book like I have for green arrow. Black panther came close
Joffrey is the king, but Tywin is THE KING. There is a difference.
Amen, sister.
I bought all of them but Superman, Action Comics and Aquaman. Flash seems like it's gonna be pho king great once it really gets going.
Outside of the DC books, Vision, and Black Panther, are there any good superhero book that aren't too far into their run worth picking up right now?
Huck is the better or the two. Copperhead hasn't come back from its 2nd hiatus and I have no idea where it is.
You will enjoy Sunstone. Beware Death Vigil vol 1 is 24.99 I believe. But its worth it. As I say it is 8 issues.

Copperhead is good comics, a shame it is totally MIA now. Wonder what's going on there?
I get Copperhead and Birthright mixed up ALL THE TIME... haven't read either but they seem so similar in my brain.

I really dig Power Man and Iron Fist, Mockingbird, and Black Widow. All of them are still early on.
Copperhead is one of those books where I thought I liked it, I read it for like 4 issues, then I dropped it because I wanted to spend that $2.99 elsewhere.

All these books are at six issues or less and super easy to jump into: Black Widow, Mockingbird, Moon Knight, and Power Man and Iron Fist. All rad comics.
edit: Actually I guess all four of those are at four issues or less. Even better!
fair enough

They say that a spoiler.... changes you.
It makes you saltier.

Watching. Learning. Shitposting.
Each time I enter the thread I emerge.... reborn.
Put TheFlow on the other side.
And I will show up. Unspoiled. Adapting. And prepared....to post.

Slow cap
I think I'll just put Death Vigil in my pay day basket on Amazon then seeing as they have it for £15. Huck isn't out till July which is weird because I was sure it was out in trade already.
What do you think about Bitch Planet? that seems cool. Descender seems like it would be interesting. I'm big on Sci-Fi.
Unused can develop into used though!
That design is terrible but no animal man rebirth is even worse

Man, I don't know what to think of that Animal Man design. It's...kinda cool I guess? But the classic costume is, well, a classic.

We're getting Doom Patrol later this year it could be worse
I think if recoloured it would make a cool Aquaman costume.

You know what I completely agree. You'd have to ditch the clawed feet but other than that, totally.
Man I thought y'all knew me. The Animal Man one is alright, but that's goddamn B'Wana Beast on the bottom, Travel Foreman had a working design for B'Wana Beast and it will never be used. Freedom Beast showing up in Midnighter was cool and all, but it's just not the same
