I'm hearing some interesting theories about Forever Evil 2 about the ending. The person behind the mask not being who we think it is.
Its Clark Kent
From which Earth?

Am I the only one who think it's
Alexander Luthor from Earth 3?
Or is that the obvious choice?

Usually, everyone jsut means all of it. It's been the same writer the whole way through, relaunches have been after major story events, but it is effectively jsut one long series with two, three mega major new jumping on points.
Yeesh Lemire did not last long on JLD or Constantine did he? I could of sworn he was still on one of those, surprised to see neither.
That's my guess as well.
Korupts rumor doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, unless the character is from yet another Earth.

The first run is god-tier. The second series is less good IMO, but it's still the best of the Ultimate titles by some distance. Be sure to pick up Spider-Men if you're buying this series, a certain scene will hit you right in the gut.
Lemire left JLD at the conclusion to Trinity War. I think he just helped Fawkes copilot Constantine in the first few issues.

I didn't get that much. DC post on Facebook, started reading the comments. People were talking about it. Panel in question is there was a lot of emphasis on the eye. It's a stretch, but when I saw that panel it made me think they wanted you to question who it really was.
I thought that was a given.
I don't think I have a problem with this. It's just an ongoing story arc, not 18 more Forever Evil mini's.

Not that I'm bothered either way haha, I love his creator owned work, but I tried his Animal Man and was left wanting. I could see myself giving Green Arrow a go but I doubt I'd have picked up Constantine or JLD anyway, just surprised.
Still hurts about Animal Man. Coming off both his and Snyder's creator owned work with fervent love, I expected to enjoy Swamp Thing and LOVE Animal Man. Turned out I lvoed Swampy and couldn't stand Animal Man. It's funny when you see creators sensibilities transfter to the big two ,and how that can lead to unexpected things.
Wow that's incredible. First Lemire Green Arrow trade isn't out until March 2014?
I mean it makes sense.
What else are those books gonna do?
And it doesn't seem like it's needed for Forever Evil.
Just.. a gaiden.. is that what they are called? Companion/side story?

It's just outright trolling at this point, right? RIGHT?
Marvel's got nothing, this revamp isn't going to move issues unless it's got that 3d cover magic we crave.
dem holograms equal money. marvels gonna get the picture eventually
I don't usually buy comic shirts, but i might make an exception.
They need to hurry up and release those, I want one bad.

FINALLY
The surviving kids are turning evil, aren't they?
Young Avengers tease next, please.
Indeed. Collects 17 to 24, which seems odd if 24 is designed as a great jumping on point. Trade hits 6 months after the final issue it collects.
I stumbled upon them when trying to figure out my newest dcbs pre-order on their website. 11.99 isn't that bad for a neat shirt.
OH fuck yeah, I'm way into this.I don't usually buy comic shirts, but i might make an exception.
Have you or anyone bought a shirt from Image before? I can't decide between large and medium.

Holy fuck. Announcing a mega crossover within an event the month it starts. Thats not last minute at all.

Doesn't surprise me. Those books are selling mid to low tier numbers and this is an attempt to get people interested in them. When you break down something like Infinity + Avengers + New Avengers, or Battle of the Atom, how many books are they? Somewhere in the teens? This seems no different.
For what it is worth, I've been getting JLD, Constantine and Pandora, so I guess I'll pick up Phantom Stranger.

Also that Defenders teaser with Kot is a new book. Confirmed via twitter.

So many teasers, was this one posted already?
Wow.
Lots of JLD issues tying in to this one. That means the majority of issues released this year will have been part of a crossover. Wasn't there 2 or 3 issues that were part of the Trinity War stuff?
This is probably a new Avengers A.I. story arc, right? I think that's the same creative team. Damn, that's 4 teasers in one day. The Marvel panel at NYCC is gonna be so long if they're going to be talking about all of these new books/stories.
Edit: Wait, never mind. I didn't even notice until BuddyJoe's post down there that each teaser has a time for the reveal.
Edit 2: Oh my god, it's like Francesco Francavilla himself heard me whining about not being able to buy his Breaking Bad pieces and took pity on me, because he's opened them up to worldwide delivery. So I just snapped up these bad boys:
And it only cost me £58 for both pieces and the delivery. Cheers FF!

Yeah the only one I'm not buying is Constantine, so I guess I'll pick that up for a few issues. And all two of us reading this mess can discuss it!

I get JL Dark and Pandora and I'm ok with it. What's the big deal if you don't read them anyway?
JLD, Pandora, Phantom Stranger, and Constantine are doing a massive 18 issue, 5 month long crossover.

So I read The Black Mirror tonight and thought it was one of the best Bat story's I've read. They picked a perfect villain for Dick as Batman. Thanks for talking about it all who did.

Bucky HAS to be one of these things. I'm thinking Winter Soldier is Hunted, while his girl Black Widow is Atonement. Same writer, too, so it'd be cool to have them lined up with each other, but in their own books with their own stories.

The number of teases reaching critical mass...
Looks like Iron Fist's colors, or alternatively Vision.:3
I'm totally down with that, I want Nat to hurry up and get her memories back though, she doesn't have to be Bucky's romantic interest if they don't want it but at I'd least like them to know each other again. If Wells or Edmonson are doing WS I'm writing in to tell one of them to fix that horrible Brubaker brainwashing mistake (Spencer might do me a favour in Secret Avengers and do that though).
Iron Fist or Vision is a Day 1 pickup for me for sure.
I have next Friday off, so I guess I am catching up on NYCC news. I finally was starting to whittle down my Marvel list, and now it looks like they will be mixing things up again.
I agree with the general sentiment that Battle of the Atom was a bit of a letdown this week. Hopefully it doesn't Sputter out near the end like some of Bendis' past events.
As for 3D covers. I was not part of the problem. Skipped all of those one-shots and resumed with Forever Evil this week. If it turns out that a few of the issues were important for stories I want to follow, I'll grab them when they are cheaper in November. September will forever be a gimmick month if we keep rewarding it with huge sales. Soon Marvel will be interrupting every story in their entire line again with gimmick months like the Nuff Said and -1 issues they have done in the past (this time with fancy covers) and we will all be worse off.

Nuff said was awsome
It really is great. I'm glad you got to enjoy it, it really is the best story with Dick as Batman. None of the others compare.
Considering I've seen people complain, at times on this forum, that they were confused by the events in the most recent chapter I can see the logic in making it the way they did.
