Wow that cover is great!I'm really, really liking this variant to Batman #1.
It's a Denver Comic Con exclusive, but it's probably the best cover for the book I've seen.

The Flash Rebirth #1
Oh wow this was cool. Both a mystery AND a Speed Force book? Is that what we're getting. SICK. Also
There were also a couple lines I enjoyed:
I think I'm gonna like this book.

Wally schooling Barry's uneducated ass.
One was the "no jokes in the Batcave," and the other was "Batman loves his secrets, but he hates to lie." I really liked that.

Tragicomedy Reviews Rebirth, spoiler free.
Batman #1 - ★★★★★ - CIA assassin Tom Fucking King, ladies and gentlemen! This book is a masterpiece. Perfect pacing, amazing self-contained story that sets us up going forward in the series, and two of the most iconic panels in the history of Batman comics. I mean, these action scenes, by god!
Green Arrow #1 - ★★★★★ - I went gaga over Batman, but this is still the crown jewel of Rebirth for me. Two stellar issues in, everything is set up so perfectly in this world. I love the focus on the relationships early on. Art is gorgeous.
Superman #1 - ★★★ - In contrast to Action Comics, the story in this series keeps moving at a pretty glacial pace. It's never dull and is doing a solid job of introducing the protagonists, but two issues in and we're still aimless on where this is headed. A book about family? I thought Superman's son was getting his own team up book with Damian. No clue who the main antagonists will be.
Titans Rebirth - ★★ - I'm admittedly not a huge Titans fan, so take this review with a grain of salt. This is a good introductory book. It sets everything up nicely. Looks like there's a lot of shared history and friendship that I'm just not aware of, but I think regulars will eat up the fan service. This will probably be like Flash in that it's one of the main books that will follow up on the whole Watchmen storyline.
Didn't buy Green Lanterns, so I'll look forward to hearing impressions.

Yo! All of X-statix and the dead girl mini just showed up on CMX. Now they just need to add the earlier X-force issues that lead up to it and it's all there!

Me too. I was surprised it was there when I looked for it last year. But marvel has been filling in the gaps of a number lately.
Superman's son is going to be a supporting character in Superman which leads into Supersons.

Yea. I'm hoping they show up next week or so. Seems odd to miss those.
Anyone having problems with comixology I haven't been able to buy from the app or website since last week.
Everytime I go purchases hats in my cart, the site asks me to confirm my date of birth, goes back to the purchase screen and then once I go to complete it just takes me back to the DoB screen in an annoying loop.

I accidentally bought All-New Inhumans. Is it a sign?
I just bought a bunch of books via the site and it went fine, nothing out of the ordinary

Email their support line, they'll get it fixed.
Dang man, I'll have to get Green Arrow, too. Can't stand the hype anymore.

I was excited for a new Illuminati today. Then I remembered that it was cancelled. I'm so sad now.
It's okay. I also like the Inhumans. Including the books going on right now.I accidentally bought All-New Inhumans.
I have to concede that digital is better for single issues. If only for one reason: ads. I HATE ads interspersed between art pages. Totally breaks the flow. I wish they would just put them all at the end. Convenience is great, too. I can just buy it and read it right now without having to go anywhere.
I still like physical collected editions way better than either, though.

I have nothing against them but they take up so much space. It's easier and more convenient to buy them digitally and you don't have to store them or anything. Image quality is better too.

You are dead to me now
I just buy #1s, Annuals and One Shots, so its fine
We made it at least two weeks without this nonsensical talk championing digital comics over actual real comics, is it because of all the Sony VR talk that people have given up on actual things? Nah, i don't need a controller, i'm just going to arm swim my way through games from now on and give up on everything that surrounds me.
Buy a real comic and don't give up on life.

Get the Rebirth issue, it sets up the new status quo and the whole first arc

I'm ignorant and biased, remember?
You really need Rebirth. Today's issue is a direct tie in. And the Rebirth issue is money.

Batman 1 was cool. Loved
Superman 1 was cool. Loved
Patsy Walker AKA Hellcat 7 was cool. Loved
Green Arrow 1 was cool. Loved
Black Widow 4 was cool. Not quite the masterclass that it has been, but still incredibly drawn.
Vote Loki 1 was almost cool. Cool concept, bad art, Loki not nearly well written enough (but that might be because I'm coming off of Young Avengers, where Kieron Gillen completely got him).
Bats riding a plane
Superman 1 was cool. Loved
the sheer panic of waiting til your dad comes home to get in trouble multiplied through the superhero metaphor.
Patsy Walker AKA Hellcat 7 was cool. Loved
Patsy sort of forgetting all about Luke Cage and Jessica Jones, and am sad about how Civil War II will change the book going forward (if it does).
Green Arrow 1 was cool. Loved
the way that Black Canary takes him to task for throwing money around.
Black Widow 4 was cool. Not quite the masterclass that it has been, but still incredibly drawn.
Vote Loki 1 was almost cool. Cool concept, bad art, Loki not nearly well written enough (but that might be because I'm coming off of Young Avengers, where Kieron Gillen completely got him).

Agree 100%. This book feels the freshest of the lot. Love the art.
WOOOOWW. Green Arrow was amazing. Rebirth issue was very good for the most part, a little iffy in a couple of places, but #1 just knocked it out of the park.
That art is beyond fantastic, too. Like, every page just made me EXCITED to look at. I just adored everything about the issue, really.

Ant-Man was meh. Super meh. I'm bored of this story.
So far both issues have been Otto Schmidt on art (Benjamin Percy is the writer). I think Ferrera is going to start doing art with #3.
The biggest problem of Vote Loki so far is that Prez is a thing that exists, and it's so much more sharper and biting in its satire of the American Political Institutions. It feels weak, and, it doesen't fit in the established recent Loki canon (I'm talking about the Gillen, Ewing and even to some extent Aaron takes on him) as well as you'd want it to. It's totally fine, Langdon Foss is a good artist (fuck all y'all), but man, there are things out there that are so much better.

Batman and Joker always get me so I spent the $7 on The Dark Knight Returns The Last Crusade and I am not disappointed. The best thing the Miller/Azzerello writing team has came up with so far and and JRJR art was great. Loved the dirty looking coloring.
Is this a Prequel?
