Snyder and Capullo's Batman.
Fox News should be hype tonight.
Ah sorry I meant to say pre New 52. I've read Morrison's Batman run and Final Crisis, Johns Green Lantern run, bits and pieces of other stuff like Waids run on Flash and that's about it.

You mean DC or DC/Vertigo?
Kirby's New Gods!
Robinson's Starman
Brubaker/Rucka Gotham Central
Rucka's Wonder Woman
Baker's Plastic Man
Cole's Plastic Man
Moore's Swamp Thing (Though I don't remember if this was DC or Vertigo)
Ennis' Hitman
These I've heard good things about but haven't gotten around to reading them yet.
Simonson's Orion
Perez's Wonder Woman
Ostrander's Suicide Squad
I'm gonna say nope. Why bother reading for context.

So. I've been waiting for DC to do a sale on JL to catch up but they haven't. And now I have Rebirth for free. Should I catch up on JL before I read Rebirth? Or does it not matter?
You're probably going to be waiting until the movie for a sale.
You don't necessarily need to catch up on JL, but Darkseid War has been awesome and you totally should catch up.

Some titles I'd recommend to everyone:
Seven Soldiers of Victory
Flash by Johns
Flash by Morrison and Millar
Plastic Man by Baker
Catwoman by Brubaker
Wonder Woman by Perez (Rucka and Simone's stuff are supposed to be good too, haven't read them myself)
Batgirl by Bryan Q. Miller
Power Girl: Power Trip
Starman by Robinson (only read a bit myself, but it's very good)
All Star Superman (I have a feeling you've read this)
If you want to count Vertigo stuff then Animal Man, Doom Patrol, and Kill Your Boyfriend by Morrison are great. You Are Here and Why I Hate Saturn are also great. Then there's obvious stuff like Sandman, Y: The Last Man, etc.
He's going to be on the team along with some other new members according to an interview Duggan had.
Okay, Cap-sanity aside, I tore myself away from Overwatch to get the pull
Nighthawk already better than Hyperion by miles, digging what Walker is selling
Squirrel Girl, I can't hate on a book that hooks up Squirrel Girl with a Sentinel
Hellcat, the art was interesting and fit the book but I prefer Williams art. Cool to see
again.
Ms. Marvel, I love this book and
Mockingbird is great but I was a bit confused with the angle they played but it feels like a sitcom spy story but in a good way.
Skipping Hulk and Weirdworld because I skipped out on the previous issues. I know Hulk is gonna bring back Bruce with the Civil War stuff so we'll see on how they handle Bruce.

Waid Flash
Grell Green Arrow
O'Neil/Adams Green Lantern/Green Arrow

Rucka Wonder Woman, Checkpoint, Batwoman Elegy, Gotham Central
Simone Wonder Woman, Birds of Prey, and preN52 Secret Six
Baker Plastic Man
Silver Age and Morrison Doom Patrol
Kirby Fourth World Saga, OMAC, The Demon
Cooke New Frontier
Any Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle Batman
That's all off the top of my head, if you want more I'm sure I can together a longer list.

I might price it out and see how it looks

International Iron Man #3
And finally we learn why Tony is doing what he's doing, how he came to interact with his long lost lover. Also Maleev da gawd.
Civil War II #0
Good set-up. I like the art a lot. Really making me feel for Carol. I'm becoming more optimistic. Though as many have stated, Marvel events always start well.

Hi ComicGAF, longtime lurker first time poster!
I only recently got into comics a couple of years ago and I primarily pull Image and Black Mask stuff. And some marvel titles (Doctor Strange, Uncanny Inhumans, All New Inhumans, and Black Panther). I have tried several times to get into dc comics but, I find the majority of their heroes to be lifeless and stale. It also does not help that I find most of the art in the big dc books to be very generic. I have read the first couple of volumes for Geoff Johns' Green Lantern, Snyder's Batman, Waid's Flash, Brubaker's Gotham Central, and Johns' Aquaman and I dropped all of them because they didn't grab me in any way. What other dc titles would you recommend I take a look at before trying out some of the Rebirth books?

Don't pass up on Rucka's Wonder Woman . Also John's JSA and Flash runs.

That's such a top tier list.
For Waid I'd also add Kingdom come
Of course Frank Miller batman work
Kinda disappointed in myself for forgetting Starman and Ostrander Suicide Squad.
Maybe try Morrison's Batman or look to some Vertigo work like I Zombie.

Yea I was just about to mention those too. And Hitman
Also Brubaker Catwoman
haha i did see that! what a jerk move
Welp, just sat down and plowed through the entirety of Darkseid War and Rebirth. That was a thing. Glad to see people of course already mentioning the pure ridiculousness that is
. But yeah, that was fun, and especially crazy since I did indeed manage to avoid the spoilers. Also really, really glad that I read Morrison/Millar Flash shortly before this, as I probably wouldn't have appreciated Rebirth quite as much if I hadn't, to be honest. Gave me a really nice connection to the character I wouldn't have otherwise had, which really helped the book work for me.

Rebirth was very cool and I think the 'twist' is genuinely clever. If only EVS art weren't so awkward in places
Let me guess, another American?

Is that the one that has a story without any dialogue? Because I actually own that issue. Not in the best condition though. I got it when I was a kid and I read it a lot.
