That is what Rebirth is there for. You won't need any catching up to do. Just read his Batman book as soon as it comes out.

quick Wondercon impressions:
-The guys who do Headlocked (a self-published wrestling comic) are really cool and the Wrestling in Comics panel was cool for their (and Christopher Daniels') stories.
-Boom! panel was actually really fun because somehow the panelists were charismatic and excited to be there (Jackson Lanzing is probably the most enthusiastic guy i've ever seen on a comics panel)
-Paolo Rivera was cool, he signed my Daredevils
-Bill Sienkewicz sounds way different than what I imagined for some reason
-the LA Convention Center is a pain. so glad it's back in Anaheim next year
sketch goals for tomorrow - Chrystal Garland, who's doing Steven Universe sketch covers, and maybe Ming Doyle if she's taking any more and if that's even in my budget, assuming I decide to pretend i'm working within one.

he's pretty good on comics panels! also, his Boom! book, Jonesy, is good, can't vouch for anything else tho

Our Love is Real will always be the definitive Sam Humphries comic.
hey man
he predicted future people would want to fuck rocks wayyy before Steven Universe became a thing
Francavilla was all "what's that, you want me to do something that will further delay new Black Beetle? I'm in!!!"
Seems like Duke Thomas is getting a big push in both Batman and All-Star Batman. The Bat Family sure has exploded in size in recent years. DC should do some kind of rotating anthology series using all the extended cast, giving individuals or small team-ups the spotlight in standalone issues or short arcs. Could play around with some of the folks from Batman Inc too.

Now that is going too far
Xorn was a great character and the tragedy that he was fake all along was a neat concept

Okay, I just finished the first volume of Locke & Key ("Welcome to Lovecraft") and thought it was absolutely brilliant. Definitely plan to see that series through to the end. I only have the first trade volume that I picked up when I was back home in Canada a couple years ago, and just now finally got around to reading it.
I also picked up the first two volumes of Ghosted, and the first volume of Five Ghosts.
So, question for anyone who has read these, and Ghosted in particular. Does Ghosted get any better? I'm halfway through the first volume, and while it's alright and entertaining enough, I just feel like I was spoiled by the quality of writing in Locke & Key. I find the "protagonist" to be a douchey prick. He's like, an asshole version of Danny Ocean from Ocean's 11.
Is Ghosted an ongoing series?
Also, is Five Ghosts better than Ghosted?
Thanks for the feedback guys.

Did you finish the whole run? Was the quality of writing consistent with the first volume/arc?
Hey I'm back ! Because as expected being unable to make a realist pull list makes for a quick reading burn out, fuck my life I need help.
But what did I learn from yesterday reading extravaganza ?
That Gotham by Midnight #6 is still so great.
That Grayson makes for a very solid but fucking confusing read. That Gotham Academy while a little tiring is also very good.
And Batgirl has a little toned the shit down on the whole selfie thing.
Oh and at first glance, while there are some major projects coming out of it, the whole Rebirth thing is a total letdown to me.
And the Comics Alliance article reminded me that Bennett wasn't on Wonder Woman and I feel very sad about it. Not because of wathever social representation agenda her being on it could push, just because she's really talented and I genuinely think she would have been a good fit for the titlle.

List? Nothing this week either.
Lots of big books releasing the week after though. Picking up
Absolute Transmetropolitan 2
Priest Black Panther Complete Collection v3
Other interesting releases
Ms Marvel OHC v2
Wicked + Divine HC
ASM Omnibus v2 (reprint)
Daredevil companion Omnibus (reprint)
Age of Apocalypse Omnibus (reprint)
Started reading the 1,000,000 omnibus. The set up issue and the following three (Superman, Batman, Nightwing) were pretty good fun.

Is it a different Batgirl in Birds of Prey?
Its art done by Rafael Albuquerque who is drawing the book. Posted on his Instagram. She is heading to Asia for backpacking and training.

Hmm. Well, whatever the difficulty you're having is, I don't think it's related to casually reading DC. It's almost entirely disconnected from everything else in the line. The first issue doesn't make a ton of sense on its own, if that's where you are, so keep pushing on.
Justice League + Justice League Unlimited are great. Especially once it hits the Unlimited seasons.
Nope, same Babs, afaik.

It's a different book by another writer but it's the same Batgirl.
Batgirl is going to be backpacking in Asia from what I heard. Yes, it looks like interior art from Rafa. It doesn't look complete.

Rucka interviewed himself on tumblr. Talks about his past issues with DC too. And Ferdinand may be back.

So I guess we'll get a cleaning up of the various "inconsistencies" in her origin.

Wonder how it will work with her off on the other side of the world in one book. Maybe different times.

Imagine how disappointed I was
You Are Here, Why I Hate Saturn, and Plastic Man are all classic.
Wakfu is really good. It's on Netflix. Watch it with French dub if you check it out.

Yes, aside from representing Bruce’s fear of Superman taking over the world, this sequence also hints at that character, who is sort of like the Thanos of the DC Universe.
I'm guessing Rucka coming back was all Johns. Didio looked fairly uncomfortable when Rucka was announced and took the stage.

Yeah. I think Rucka had some rather harsh words for the editorial group and specifically called out Didio.

Still enjoying the Anakin & Obi-Wan book. Love the steampunk setting as it's completely different to anything we've seen in the films or animated shows. Soule's doing some good stuff with the Star Wars books.

Thanks! Especially for the Marvel recommendations, hard to find recommendations for the marvel animated stuff
Yeah, I love it
Yes. The DC character predates the Marvel one by three years.
Told you this would happen
