I read Rebirth! Cross-posting my observations from the Rebirth thread.
1) It's not an ideal "jumping on" point if you aren't super familiar with pre-Flashpoint DC, or even the New 52. There's so little done to introduce characters, as John is rushing to feature as many players as possible and show what's wrong with their current setup. For a guy like me who isn't intimately familiar with a lot of these folks, it's a lot of whatever.
2) Way to much time spent having
travel around and yelling, "ARRRRGGHGAHGHAG THE SPEED FORCE AARARARAGAGH!" I mean, we're talking 20-30 pages of pure fluff. We got the point the first time. By the fifth, it was ridiculous. Not the best writing from Johns.
3) The moment everyone will remember, the crucial moment where Johns goes for the emotional jugular...was a complete success. The reunion was fantastic. Really tugged at the heart strings, even for a guy like me who doesn't give a shit about one of the characters. Great pay off.
4) Very uneven art work. It ranges from shit to fantastic.
5) The reveal of the
as antagonists is just a mess. We knew that going in based on spoilers, but it's shoe horned to hell and back. Not only does it basically make zero sense (Where the hell have they been the whole time? How have they never interacted with these characters previously?), but it really could paint the Rebirth universe into a corner going forward. Do they really want to make those guys a central focal point? Or is Johns just tossing shit at the wall and hoping we all forget them a year from now? I can't see either option being good. If they become central players in the DC universe...haha.
6) If this was book one of a six issue miniseries, I'd be good with it. As the vehicle for rebooting everything to pre-Flashpoint days, it's not very satisfying. The last dozen or so pages of cover advertisements is obviously pushing this book as the precursor to diving in to the other character storylines, but this issue is incomplete. There's no resolution or even hinting at resolution. I'm not confident other writers are going to just pick up the baton and complete this story.

No. It was FIOS. the ONT box power supply died. Needed to be replaced.
I just started playing Lucio last night, seems fun. So far:
Lucio
Symmetra - when defending.
Junk Rat
Pharah
D.va is kinda fun...i just read the her shield goes down if you use your cannons and the whole fling destruct thing. I gotta practice that.
Just read about Smackdown going live and having a brand split/wrestler draft. I'll watch whoever gets Roman Reigns.
Support and heal all day.
Vision.Tell me which Marvel books of the recent relaunch are to get and good? Which are beginners friendly (my girlfriend wants to jump in, and no she doesn not want to read older arcs for some reason)
And get her Ms. Marvel. There are a couple of Trades already released, but the series is amazing.
Geez. What is wrong with people? I don't even.
Also, don't wanna read the last Grayson issue. I'm either gonna be mad or just let down.

We are, in fact, all soldiers now.
Are people really attacking Brubaker on Twitter over the Steve Rogers thing? William Shatner was right, get a life.

Now Marvell New I think has Alias, Hawkguy and Blade with the two rumored comics being Wasp and post King Vision

I read this wrong at first and thought you were recommending VIsion for his girlfriend as a beginner friendly book. I was thinking, "For the love of god, NO!"
That was more the book I recommended him, I thought he wants book for "himself", too.You got it wrong Rebirth #1 explains NEW 52 and the #1 titles coming out are the jumping on points smh.
looks like you in the minority on rebirth when it comes to the rest of your opinions

Would be stupid from a Marketing perspective.
Pharah is dope. I want to play more Symmetra though - I usually stick with Lucio / Reinhardt but I'd like another few characters to play when my team is fully tanked/healed.

Make Cap gay is the dumbest idea I've ever heard. Not ever superhero needs to be gay and it doesn't add anything to the character.
On a side note, never been a huge Millar fan but his new series Empress has been awesome so far. Hope he can get it out on time though lol. Do we know what Millar and Capullo are working on yet?
Haven't read Captain America:SR or Rebirth yet but Justice League 50 was awesome. Not the ending I hoped for but it was a pretty cool little event. Like how they did the same thing with Darksied as

SMH? Really? Nice.
How are the new ongoing titles the jumping on point if this book doesn't actually have any resolution? Johns tosses out three or four major WTF moments, but there is no Rebirth #2 coming out next month.
Do you honestly thing Tom King is going to waste his CIA skills showing Batman facing off against
Joker #3 or fighting Rorschach
I very likely am in the minority with my take on the book. I'm also firmly in their target audience, as someone who is long-relapsed on DC stuff and they want to bring back into the fold. This issue doesn't accomplish that for me at all. Whether the ongoing books do is an entirely different question. I'll go on record to state that after the initial hype wave dies down, more people's take on this book will likely mirror my own, or at least be less full of effusive praise.

Hasn't he always wore the suit?
not that srs mane. and yea I am not discussing hypotheticalss with you over a one shot. It wasn't for you no shame in that.
I am 3 issue behind but I swore he was wearing this old tattered version compared to the clean suit he has now but I am going back to the issue right now to make sure I am not just being senile.
Edit: I am two issues behind but yea he is currently wearing regular clothes
Exactly. I love me some good romance but there's a mutated type of shipper that the Supernatural fandom encapsulates so well that just ruins everything.

Rebirth is comics on God Mode.
Well handled, DC.
Shame about Marvel going grim & gritty at the same time.

The funny about Rebirth is how more than one artist on the book had a really rough time trying to draw a smile.
