I was trying to remember what titles were DCYou. Heres a list. We got some good stuff out of that all told.

Batman Beyond
Bat-Mite (6-issue limited)
Bizarro (6-issue limited)
Black Canary
Constantine: The Hellblazer
Cyborg
Dark Universe
Green Lantern: Lost Army
Doomed
Earth 2: Society
Dr. Fate
Harley Quinn/Power Girl (6-issue limited)
Justice League of America
Justice League 3001
Martian Manhunter
Midnighter
Omega Men
Prez
Red Hood/Arsenal
Robin, Son of Batman
Section Eight (6-issue limited)
Starfire
We Are Robin

Dark Universe never happened right? I think I would remember a Dark Universe book with Ming Doyle on art.

We are Robin, Starfire, Robin Son of Batman, Prez, Omega Men, Midnighter, Martian Manhunter, Black Canary, Harley/Pee Gee were all worth reading. Omega Men being a classic

Out of all of those I've read: Batman Beyond was boring as fuck, as was Red Hood and Arsenal. Black Canary and Midnighter were great, though.

That was probably even more hideous than Bachelo's Emma. :)

That sucks-Emma appearing in Squirrel Girl is an inspired idea.

Well I finished Scarlet Vol. 1. It was okay. Incredibly slow, and while I do appreciate taking the time to build the characters and relationships...it really didn't build much of anything. Just Scarlet herself. The characters lack any trace of a unique voice. Everybody cusses a lot and talks with the same perceived tone. The conversations feel like it's someone talking to their own self, though I do like the fourth-wall narration. The premise of the book is solid, and a lot does happen, but it feels like ot takes forever. I feel like a part of that is that I expected something more action-oriented. Previous Bendis and Maleev collabs I had read balanced action with slower moments. This is all slower moments with an occasional explosion beat: a gun shot or an explosion. Very little else. I expected a more action-oriented book because I judged a book by its cover and cover summary. I am intrigued as to where this goes, but I'm not in a hurry to find the end.

Bro, speaking of Red Hood/Arsenal, have you been reading the Rebirth RHatO? It's surprisingly fantastic.

Started Phalanx Covenant. So THIS is what 90s X-Men is like? Well well well. This is kinda fun.

Insanely over the top. The first issue is Candy Southern ripping out her own gutS to kill a technorganic reanimation of Cameron Hodge.

"Escalated quickly" is the best description for this.

Star Wars OHC Vol. 1 down. That was great fun. I really enjoyed it. And MAN, I just love Stuart Immonen's art. He never lets me down.

Now onto Darth Vader OHC Vol. 1.

The Phalanx must be the one X-Men villain that haven't returned for an X-Men story in modern times. They got Conquest but that was cosmic and Ultron was the real threat.

Happy about the Future Quest news.

DCYou was a commercial failure but man were there some great books. Robin Son of Batman, Martian Manhunter, Black Canary, Midnighter were really great. Prez was the best satire I had read in comics in years. Bizarro was endearing.

Omega Men is one of my favorite books from last year. I was resistant to it at first but that slow burn turned into one of the the bleakest and most exciting books I've read. As soon as Kalista shows up, I realized King was going to do something really special.

When your writer is the former president and publisher of DC Comics, that helps.

I know Kieron Gillen was wanting to do something with them in his Uncanny run. He was even teasing Sinister having a handful of specimens and there was a one-off issue with them in his run but that's another casualty of Marvel Now and Bendis wanting to take over the X-books.

I wish Gillen's X-Men run could have gone on forever. Marvel, if you want me to pick up the X-books again, replace Guggenheim with Gillen.

I'm digging JRJr's art for this, but he needed better inkers. Or colorists.

I'd be cool with this. His run pre-Legacy was under-appreciated and had a great team dynamic.

I have yet to read all of it, but what I have read (all the way through Hecatomb) I have loved unconditionally.

It had honestly one of the best X-men team in recent memories
Click to expand...

Cable, Cannonball, Iceman, Lady Mastermind, Mystique, Omega Sentinel, Rogue, Sabretooth... it was the definition of a powder keg.

And I had forgotten how long Mike Carey's run was. 73 consecutive issues. He's second only to Claremont for a consecutive run. He did wonders for Rogue's character and it's also got what I consider to be the last good take on Iceman.

X-Men Prime was a nice introduction to the new status quo. It didn't go into too much detail with what the individual books would be doing, but it does a good job of showing the direction the line is going in with ResurrXion.

That's explained in All-New X-Men, which I'm too tired to read right now, but based on the dialogue in Prime,
it turns out that they might actually be from another reality/timeline.

But why was Old Cyclops about to disappear when Young Cyc almost died back then when the run started?

Even though that is consistent with how time travel works or supposed this still is so absurd and hilarious

they use Doom's time machine which is supposed to actually take you back in time and not to another reality or anything else? They must really want them to stay despite fan reactions.

Plus they GAMEPROOF pointed out how cyclops almost disappeared, which wouldn't happen if he was from another universe. They are just retconing shit.

The one in ANXM was modified and we've known for a long time that there were issues with them returning.

Oh damn, you guys totally missed the boat on the perfect retcon
Cyclops vanishing was just Emma projecting duuuuh foreshadowing her villainous turn!

It's a shame he had such a short stint on the book. The Nar Shaddaa arc is still one of the best. Hopefully he returns at some point.

Of what I read I thought all of those were great.

Also Superman: American Alien, wasn't that around that same timeframe? That would probably be my favorite thing from DCYou after Omega Men.

Nice to see some DCYou appreciation around here. The mainline books were pretty mediocre for a while there, and of course sales were DREADFUL, but there was a lot of really great stuff getting put out in that period.

Yeah, the mainline books were pretty dreadful there for a while, especially Detective.

I do remember one great storyline in Batman/Superman done by Tom Taylor that was just a small 3 story arc but it was great and probably the best mainline thing put out during that time outside of Justice League.

It's what makes me want Taylor on Justice League.

Yayyyy. I end up leaving EoW so long to catch up on I've contemplated switching to the HCs, pretty much read it yearly anyway, but it's like Monkey was saying the other day, there's no excitement in buying stuff you already have. Too much hassle. Those HCs do look nice though!

Oh yea mean to write about this but the black Monday murders totally breaks the general trade dress Hickman has been using since the nightly news. It looks weiiird.

maybe if Marvel wants to make a show of goodwill towards X-Men fans they shouldn't have made X-Men Prime because that whole book is junk
