Johns original run was so much better though.
I don't anything will ever top this

I've been trying to get into the Flash comics more, and my local comic store owner recommended me Rebirth as a good place to start. Or at least a good story to pick up.

Recomed tracking down impluse by mark waid as well
It's a good Barry Allen story, since it brought him back into continuity after being gone since the original Crisis. Waid and Johns' original run were about Wally as the Flash.

Really hoping legends of Tomorrow leads to a booster Gold show
I don't know him.. is he one of the alternate universe Flashes?
Berlanti pitched a Booster Gold show to SyFy a few years back and they passed on it, so I wouldn't be surprised if they dusted that off for CW

I hadn't heard a lot about it, but Fraction's FF is pretty delightful.
FF #4 might be one of my favorite one shots.

Finished the first Frank Miller/Klaus Janson DareDevil Omnibus. I was pretty unimpressed with the first half of the collected issues. It all felt really dated, particularly the issues not written my Miller himself. The second half of it was much more enjoyable. It still wasn't quite what I expected though.
I'm not sure if I should move on to the second Miller Omnibus or skip those and go right to Bendis's run.

I do not want to continue to live in a world where not only is Scott Lobdell allowed to write comics, but he continues to deny some of my favorite characters good storylines.
Like, Red Hood has had 1 good arc (his first, Pre-Nu52).
On the plus side, I like DCs new direction. I am sure there are plenty of stinkers there, but their approach seems fun.

Go to the second omnibus. It goes to god tier in a hurry. I had the same impressions when I first read it about 10 years ago. I know marvel wants to collect all the Miller art of the DD run but they really should have started when Frank takes over writing.

It makes me sick to my stomach to hear people gushing about Mark Millar comics in 2015. These movie pitches are derived from a fucking algorithm with pre pubescently flat characters. It needs to end. It gives hope to the Dennis Hopelesses of the world, your Dan Jurgens, you princes of Maine, you kings of New England.

Red Hood and the Outlaws was so mediocre. I've heard it gets better after volume 1 but I didn't want to invest the time.

No start with Johns start of the run. It's awesome and new reader friendly. rebirth was ok but nowhere near his early stuff. Waids run is great too but harder to track down
Why does it matter if people are enjoying the stories?
Oh and btw, Chrononauts has been really damn fun so far.

But I thought Rebirth was really good. It has cool Speed Force bullshit.

Then you'll love early Johns and waid stuff. Johns reimaging the rogues was a real highlight. I loved Johns "focus on a villain for an issue" bit he'd do in Flash and later used it in GL.

Doomed looks cool and the main character is a poc. Shit, he's trying at least.
Your missing out on Red Hood though. It's crazy.

I'm looking forward to it. Rebirth drew me in.

Cuz you gotta this brah spamming Hadouken in SFIV and nobody wants to step up and parry this motherfucker with a twelve hit combo and say "Who bitch this!?" There's no value there. And then somebody came along and was like "hey brah we love the Hadouken and everything but you can't be raping people, detonating fetuses, beat women, psychologically traumatized children. " okay brah I'm cool now. So then he goes and gets clipped like a Sharpei puppy, watches a few Pixar movies, one too many TNT procedural marathons, given unlimited confidence and thinks he can take on the world. So he goes up to some chap in an East Lost Angeles pub and says "hey mate, I got this story. We got these two lads that have time travel and shit, so we'll use naut derived from the Greek work meaning travel and chrono meaning time to describe them as time travelers. And they'll go on these adventures through time yeah, mishaps and the like. It's gonna warm your heart." The man turns and says "brother, you can't go talking around here like these parts, go say exactly what you said to that guy sitting over there." He does so with fervor, but then gets punched. "See brother, you should've just said.....[whishpers]" So the chap walks up to another and says "I got this story it's Back to The Future meets Jurassic Park and the letter one is Buzz Lightyear meets the last twenty minutes of Rocky V." Aaaaaahhhhhhh says the man in understanding.

Mark Millar's work deserves plenty of criticism but it does have its qualities when Millar actually puts effort in to them.
He also works with some of the very best artists around and is one of the best writers when it comes to getting the best out of his artists so his books are always gorgeous. He also pays them really well so honestly, I can't be mad at him. I hope he keeps getting paper for his favorite artist. Bill Sienkiewicz is next apparently.

I did the exact same thing, but I also noticed that Greg Land did the art and COMICS GAF has ruined him for me.

Mad Max Fury Road is fucking amazing, and movie theatres are still the shittiest places on Earth. Like, worse than even comic shops.

I got into it the second I saw where the first issue was heading. And then the second was almost too brutal for me. Excellent series so far. Gonna catch up tomorrow and post my thoughts in the thread.

The second was a huuuge turnoff for me. I mean, it's well written and illustrated and all but that shit was too dark for someone like me. The third one was great and definitely makes me want to read more.

Yeah, Start with Spider-Woman #5, not #1. Marvel screwed the pooch with that one.

Hmm. So many comics to pick up tomorrow. I hope they have all the ones I want.
Living in my tiny town sucks for comics. They only stock Mahvel and DC on a tiny section of a wall in the back of a hobby shop and all my Outcast and Wytches orders are always a couple days behind.
