Honestly, I was never a huge fan of Ross for regular comics. His style worked well for Kingdom Come and Justice, but it's not a look I enjoy for everyday comics. It looks to realistic.

Johns' interview about the Rebirth issue. That's a lot to process.
The very clear leak about one week before the release and these interviews makes me think this was a "controlled leak". At least, it got me intrigued. Will read the first issue.
But I do have to say, some of the things he seems to complain about in the interview have been his stock in trade to begin with...

" Their connections have begun feeling false, and their appeal has been decaying, but why? In the final panel of Rebirth, Batman discovers, as we mentioned, The Comedian’s pin. The epilogue suggests Dr. Manhattan has been emotionlessly screwing with DC’s heroes, experimenting with their stories but not understanding their humanity."
So essentially, Johns case Didio as Dr.Manhattan?

it's been present in some of his N52 writing, but I don't think it's fair to say that a lot of the values the interview talks about aren't also very present in his work as a whole

I'm buying it regardless. $2.99 for 80 pages is a sweet deal.
I have Earth X waiting in my backlog and I am super excited about the scenario and what could have done with the story but his art is super shit in that that I lose all excitement to read it once I open the book.

It's not bad art. I just don't like it for the purpose of comics.

I can definitely understand why a person wouldn't be into it, but I adore it personally. For the stuff I've read, at least. I don't think his style would work well with EVERYTHING, though.
I know percy's green arrow run has been meh to average but I feel like he deserves a second chance. Plus Black Canary is playing a huge role in the first arc. So excited.
I'm definitely giving it a chance. I really hope for the best. He has one crucial component on board so far (amazing artists working on it).
I read in a interview that he wants this to be his "courts of owl" so lets see

Hah CoIE is diving into the extreme deep end of DC history. It's pretty dense reading but as a fan of comic history I'm glad I did. Plus you got Perez splash pages for the ages
I was a little bit afraid of Kingdom Come and now in the first issue the female friend of the Monitor has assembled a team of tons of people Ive never heard of :/

Don't worry, you don't really need to know who any of them are

Yea there's a lot of fringe DC characters. Just don't worry about it. Read the story and enjoy the ride. Don't get bogged down in pre Crisis DC stuff. And yea KC is nothing compared to COIE in regards to going to the lesser known characters.
I was just messing with you
You two have to battle till death now. It's just the way these things go.
Oh man, did you actually start COIE? Honestly you might be better off just reading a wiki on it, it's super dense and not very new reader friendly.

Just saw this on FB (via Comixology's twitter). The first 4/5ths of Simonson's Thor run is on sale. Use code WALT for 75% off ($18 total). There are still about 8 issues left after this, but I don't see them on CMX for some reason.

Yea. For some reason they hadn't gotten the whole thing collected on CMX. There's been odd gaps in the CMX marvel library. Like until recently ASM 300s Spidey with the first arrival of Venom, etc thankfully they've been filling in the gaps pretty well. They've been working through older Thor so I imagine it'll get there this year.

Doom's supershotgun is the best shotgun i've used since, i dunno, bulletstorm. Walk right up to a hell nite and shoot it in the balls, why not.

Quick question: if I buy a digital comic on Amazon, it gets added to my library on the Comixology app? I dont have a Kindle, but I have the Comixology app on my iPad
Can confirm.
Not sure what the fuck they do. The only loot game that's ever hooked me is Diablo 3. Shit I bought it three fucking times while games like Torchlight do nothing for me. I know it was only the Beta but I've never looked for to playing a competitive shooter like I have Overwatch.

In theory, yes. You need to link your accounts first, but after that, it's supposed to work.
In practice, things are a little messy. I've had books fail to sync for a week, and I pretty consistently had to bug Comixology Support to get things resolved. That was a while ago, they could have smoothed it out since then.

Read that Inverse article. Rebirth hype through the roof. Marvel better step shit up, damn.
Dr. Manhattan, Silk Spectre and Minutemen are great.
that's the one post I'd never expected to read
holy fuck is DC actually doing something right for people other than me
is this happening

Johns nailed every problem I got not only with DC but 100% what's wrong with a lot of Marvel right now. How badly do we need an X-Men Rebirth?
