Damn I knew Dick was going to end up stranded in the Cancerverse but I didn't know Star Lord was lost with him 
Did they ever explain how Quill got back?

He and Thanos bro'd up for a bit to get back to the main universe, if I recall.

I think Blue is legit good comics. Yeah it's the O5, but it's the O5 with a twist: Jean is a take-charge leader while Cyclops isn't, Beast is a mystic, Iceman is gay, Warren has cosmic powers. They're actively seeking threats instead of waiting. Beast and Scott are competing romantic interests and second-in-commands. They're no longer students. Working with Magneto. Plus that Jimmy Howlett back-up of the first issue...
And even their villains are getting small, fresh twists.
Bunn understands these characters and knows how to write them, and even if you dislike the O5 as a concept, a fresh take on old characters should be enough of a pitch to pull you in.
Plus Bunn has set up so many storylines within the first 3 issues while still be satisfying individually.

Cosmic Cube shenanigans.

She-Hulk? I'm enjoying it a lot.
Yeah. It's a really cool look at the character and what trauma does to a person via her and her client. The clients story is fucked up

Pretty sure that was covered in the Original Sin crossover issues from Bendis's run on Guardians of the Galaxy. Havent read the issues myself, but im fairly positive thats where it was covered.

He is shitting on your OT, Lunchpod. Take him out.
It was specifically Guardians #18 of the Bendis run.
Messi loves Valaint and is ashamed to admit it.

He read a Valiant comic once. He still hasn't found a better one since, so he buys everything every week to see if he finally finds one.
This actually makes sense. Is this canon?

Ok serious question. Is Before Watchmen legitimately bad or are people just angry at the idea that DC created spinoffs for profit?
I flipped through one of the books in a store and it looked pretty interesting. The art was nice at least.

Most of it is legit awful. A couple of the stories are decent. I didn't think Silk Spectre was too bad.

I like how one of the giant screens on Hyn'xx in Omega Men has all the Omega Men on there as a wanted poster, and they all have names, except: Doc has no name, Kalista and two others are in an alien language, and Kyle's says "Green Man"

The minutemen mini by Darwyn Cooke was good

Oh my gosh, and "the Kryptonian Dilemma" is a term for planets whose core have become so unstable that they're dying? Fucking love comics.
I also love how there's no clear hero. Just Kyle caught up in a war. The Omega Men are kind of shitty. I mean, at least three of them really enjoy killing people.

Dat Amanda Conner. So good they made a statue of her art.
Also to be fair it was her and Cooke...
I liked that mini and these panels
I really enjoyed the Silk Spectre, Minutemen and Dr. Manhattan stories. Everything else sucks.

I can only speak to Minutemen, but I will answer your question with a question.
Do you think there's any chance that a comic written and drawn by Darwyn Cooke in 2012 is bad?

Rebirth is doing wonders for DC because I had just about given up on this company

Ozymandias was good. A great companion piece to the main story.

Omega Men was pretty great. It's really just all about "when does it end?" And the answer is, "never."
Fucking dope. I'm intrigued by the "science" of the Omega Lantern, since it isn't white. His constructs change color and his outfit is more grey than anything.

My biggest concern with Injustice 2:
Since they added that MKX-style pre-fight banter, is Superman always a piece of shit when you play as him, matching his story mode portrayal? If that's the case, that's awful, so I hope it isn't.

Pretty much yeah, all the characters match their story mode personalities from what i've seen so expect a lot Superman threatening insurgents and justifying his reign
They were also stuff like for a lot the stories to happen in the New 52 since it didn't reboot itself it means stuff like Sinestro corps invading Earth and Hal turning to parallax probably happen can't remember if it was made clear or not. In 5 years
We all misplace a Robin here and there. Who can keep track?
So did DC just intentionally at least for a while

Not getting a job: sucky
Only knowing that I didn't get the job because I have a friend who works there and knows that they never would have contacted me: real sucky
The hunt continues.

5?! Dick, Jason, and Damian. Tim technically wasn't a Robin I don't think.
Stephanie Brown had that terrible stint as Robin, but that was retconned as well.
