DC Rebirth happens in the Marvel universe.

I'm waiting for DC NuBirth so we can get some Dark Horse up in here.

 

[KoruptData]

Rebirth might be the one thing that stops Overwatch talk next week.

Link me on Twitter.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but if Bleeding Cool's speculation on how the fucking bonkers thing plays out is right, it's actually a neat trick.

MEGA SPOILER

Spoiler

Dr Manhattan as the hand of creation for the DCU

This is some Akuma being a canon character in Tekken lore level of crazy.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[RepairmanJack]

I'm not even mad, this could end up truly being amazing.

I think I'm now more hyped for Rebirth...

 

[MartyStu]

This is some Akuma being a canon character in Tekken lore level of crazy.

Writing solid stories was not getting more people to read DC, so they decided to go with the Nuclear option.

I wonder how long they have been sitting on this one.

I'm not even mad, this could end up truly being amazing.

My thoughts as well.

 

[Hagi]

This event

 

[Ross61]

This is most definitely going to be a you love it or you hate it type of event.

 

[MartyStu]

This is most definitely going to be a you love it or you hate it type of event.

This goes beyond this event.

The spoilers tread on two different grounds that I think DC fans consider sacrosanct.

I expect blood in the streets.

 

[RepairmanJack]

This is most definitely going to be a you love it or you hate it type of event.

I feel like if they

Spoiler

don't just exploit the idea and try to make some newer stuff with the property it wouldn't be that big of a deal.

 

[Hagi]

This is most definitely going to be a you love it or you hate it type of event.

I think that is events in general to be fair. There's certainly going be a louder discussion about this though.

 

[KoruptData]

Thanks Alan.

 

[Einchy]

.

Might wanna spoiler that.

Some of you guys aren't being vague enough. People could definitely piece together what the spoiler is.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Well, that's some weirdass shit for sure.

Can't speak to the entire reddit leak, I'm looking at the compatcted 4Chan version (because the reddit post got deleted), and there are pictures, so... it certainly seems real. At least in part.

It's definitely not what I was expecting, but it could be amazing.

Or terrible.

But I have no idea which.

PM me the 4Chan leak.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Reading the spoilers I'm actually shocked this isn't a full blown event and is more just like a status quo shift with the one shot's.

Yeah it just dawned on me that this isn't even an event so we are going to waiting a while before any of this shit has a substantial pay-off. Man what a ride.

The book is 80 pages, there's gonna be some payoff

That rebirth rumor is so over the top crass. I love it

Rebirth question

Spoiler

Why is Wally coming back a big deal? Has he been dead for a really long time?

Spoiler

New 52 changed him and he's been pretty lame.

 

[ElNarez]

I love it.

I love

Spoiler

the idea that everything bad in the DCU happened because of Watchmen, literally and metaphorically. I mean, there's a straight line from Watchmen to, say, Identity Crisis, or even Cry for Justice. It takes a lot to make your big corporate comic an admission of guilt to that level.

 

[Hagi]

I did say substantial. This is going to be setup then we are going to get strung along for at least a year. I'd be surprised if they blew their load so soon they usually go out with a whimper later on.

 

[george_us]

Everyone's reaction here made me curious so I went on ahead and looked up those Rebirth spoilers knowing I won't read it. Huh. Seems bananas. Are DC's sales in the toilet or something?

Sort of, Batman does well, but they've tried a lot of different things and not much of it has worked sales wise.

Actually, it doesn't seem to be working like that. Immediately post-Rebirth, most of the books seems to just... start doing their own thing again.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Ha! So that's why DC is

Spoiler

releasing a Watchmen box set.

 

[Vic_Viper]

Any good Cyber Punk comics from the big 3 (marvel, image, DC) that are worth checking out? About to pick up Transmetropolitan and was wondering what else is out that's really good.

Tokyo Ghost has been pretty great so far.

 

[Bronx-Man]

So someone just linked me that DC Rebirth spoiler and uh........wow.

Spoiler

So is Dr. Manhattan responsible for everything since COIE, or just the New 52?

Man I wasn't even interested in the one shot before this and now I really want to read it.

Absolutely they are, stay away from ... Bleeding Cool.

Words to live by

 

[Savitar]

*Looks at pages at Bleeding Cool*

You know, some are going to be angry at the spoilers.

I'm excited.

Balls, pure balls.

 

[Hagi]

Hah I was going to add that onto the end but didn't want to be cheeky

 

[Zombine]

I'm so scared of all of these spoilers

 

[RepairmanJack]

I'm so scared of all of these spoilers

I feel like it's such an insane spoiler that even reading it doesn't kill the surprise, but at the same time reading it and finding out without spoiled could be awesome.

 

[Savitar]

I'm so scared of all of these spoilers

They're coming for you.

THEY'RE COMING FOR YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU.

 

[mreddie]

LOL

Spoiler

And Watchmen is now DC connected? Fucking really?

 

[Sandfox]

Ha! So that's why DC is

Spoiler

Spoiler

DC has to re-release the book every so often or they lose the rights.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Please, mark your spoilers

 

[kylecoley182]

Spoiler

releasing a Watchmen box set.

[Boke1879]

I actually love it. I gotta see it all play out. But I think the Rebirth title plays a huge role in all of this. I love it though.

 

[JTripper]

I think I'm gonna sign off of this thread until Wednesday for safety. It's probably only a matter of time before the spoilers consume me before then though.

 

[TheFlow]

DC figured out how to grab everyone's attention.

There is no such thing as bad publicity.


I am excited
