Damn so many cool looking #1s today. It's a feast!
I nabbed Black, Cage, Cannibal, Champions, Death of Hawkman, Death of X, Green Valley, Jessica Jones, Midnighter and Apollo, Moonshine, Romulus, Shade, and Shipwreck. WHEW. Thirteen books to try
Lemme know what that Hawkman book is like.
Shade was incredible, I'm really curious to see what people make of it.

Night of the Monster Men? (I haven't started this yet, actually, but still)
It truly is an embarrassment of riches.

Champions #1
Where's my crow? I enjoyed this far, far more than I thought I would. Very excited to see where it goes next.

Those cameos at the end, just teasing or hinting at future members? I mean, Nadia is out as she's on the main Avengers team, but the others all seem likely. Also, "Battlesmite"? Sounds like an unholy fusion of Battlerite and Smite. "Battleground of the Champions"!

Half watching the first Hellboy animated movie again since my kid is watching it. Some pretty cool Japanese folklore being channelled. Kate Corrigan is in it too, super awesome.
Also reading Conquerer Worm. Here is the claw!!!
Between rebirth stuff, young animal and the new wildstorm I'm going to be reading a ton of dc.
Edit: hahaha God Damn, I forgot so much about this movie. They incorporate the entire of the heads short story including the joke the Japanese dude tells Hellboy. Brilliant.

Not sure about evil as a tease but he's said again and again over the last few years that if there's a character other than batsman that he's got a story idea for, it's WW. Would love to see the two of them on that book. Don't know if this is that though...

This is the only spoiler from him thus far. Looks like he's keeping things close to the chest until Capullo is back.

I just read it. I have mixed feelings.
The book opens in media res and that stuff promises a really cool, intense story featuring two of my favorite DC characters. But then it jumps back to tell us
how one of these characters ended up there
The art is good, it looks like a DC book. What elevates it is the use of color: red and blue are used very effectively to evoke this sense of a spacefaring adventure, and the light use of shadow makes the book feel both fresh and a little Silver Age.
Overall I don't think the issue is great on its own terms, but I am sold on the promise of those early scenes. I'm on board for now.

Hmmm. Who knows. I'd be inclined to guess that's another batman project purely because he isn't adding that it's something different, but certainly could be WW, if you.think back to Azzarellos take. I'm excited anyway ha!

I am all the way in.

Was just about to share this. Never read any Aliens comics, but I love Alien/Aliens and James Stokoe, so I'm sold.

I thought it was decent. I'm not a huge Azz fan but there is enough weirdness at the fringes of this to keep me on the hook for at least one more issue.

I don't see why you're worried about how people will look at you as a fanboy. You're saying why you enjoyed it so much. It's why I put no stock in numerical ratings. They aren't worth anything.
Also, ranking half of one season of a two season show is the dumbest thing I've seen written in a while. Just put LC at the top like you want to. Don't front.

Oh shit son. Instant day one purchase.
It was fantastic. My book of the week followed closely by Shade.

I don't have too much experience with them (outside of Midnighter in Grayson, and a few issues of his recent solo) and I really enjoyed it. Orlando is a great writer, and the art was great too. This has a ton of potential.
Then fuck it Luke cage all the way. That show gave me life.
and yea like cage is a strong 9/10. Only two episodes I thought that were rather weak.
But yo if we get punisher next year as well I will be so happy
Please, Champions. I want these people on the team. dun tease me

it had a solid
goof, but, it felt real uncomfortable, in the way Billy Crystal's "Jazz Man" character makes me feel uncomfortable

Max Landis makes a lot of bad storytelling choices with Green Valley #1, such as
, which can be done! It's not a crime. Rat Queens pulled it off. But...it's an art. And Rat Queens simply spawned too many books that try it. Also (big spoiler)
, that is a no no as far as I am concerned, and it's handled horribly to boot. Also
. Finally, not really offering any compelling twists. Probably a couple more but those are the ones that stick out. Can't recommend this one sadly.
infusing characters in a medieval fantasy setting with 21st century sardonic wit
creating one lone female character, whose clear purpose from the moment she is introduced is to die and motivate the men
creating a weird gyrating sense of how powerful our main characters are
Damn those are all great picks for future team members

I was worried about that from the preview. It seems awfully regressive.

yeah didn't really have a big problem making this part of my More Like Marvel LATER book dropping initiative
It is completely that, down to the
impromptu basketball sesh with local children
and that's a throwback to an era that, in certain ways, most ways, if not all of the ways, is better left behind
Death of Hawkman #1 was cool. I'm glad that this issue is more focused on strange than the titular hero. This seems like the good version of Anderyco and not his Batwoman counterpoint. Loprestti brings it on art and hopefully this lets him stretch his muscles the way his Metomorpho miniseries did.
I was confused about one thing is I recon that
Rebirth really reminds me of a few different periods but mostly the 80s DC Comics. Hoping this weekend we see some announcements for Firestorm, JSA, and the Outsiders.

Alana strange is of Ran, because I'm JLU she's human and Adam is bit of Slub and not the buck rogersntype.

I didn't touch Champions because I can't stand Ramos' art, and attempts at a certain form of political awareness from Waid, who, let us never lose sight of that, wrote goddamn Strange Fruit, ring super hollow.
Plus there was that interview about young Cyclops being like baby Hitler.

I haven't read it yet but does it seem in the Rebirth like "world"?

There's a panel of Ms. Marvel's face that was particularly bad. I didn't like the coloring too much either. But the story and characterization were good enough to make up for it.

I should note, I've gotten all the DC mini series now too after reading some DiDio thing saying they're all character test balloons to see how they do so even if they don't have the Rebirth banner they're part of the same initiative.
