Yeah, when Rebirth was first announced I thought it was funny how we got a bunch of Superfamily books being described as some character trying to fill in for New 52 Superman.
Hump has to be the draft pick bust of DC. Like the RG3 of the DC-Marvel trades.

My friend said the same thing. He's been telling me that Guy's busy being a hoss, which makes me happy
I'm loving Titans, so I'm okay with where Wally's at, at least.
-New 52 Superman died
-Pre-Flashpoint Supes is now filling in as the true Superman.
Not that confusing, especially given what Rebirth is. You are actually making it sound way more confusing than it really is.

Raven was good!
I hope the WWE Boom Studios comic does this, but with Enzo Amore and Big Cass
the '90 Nomad miniseries has the best intros ever because the format was "[insert city] is known for [being shit] but it's great if YOU HAPPEN TO LOVE THAT" and then

I love how Vixen and Hawkgirl are an item in Bombshells. A nice reference and twist to their rivalry in Justice League Unlimited over John Stewart imo.
I love in general how there's so many same-sex pairings though. A shipper's dream come true.
I hope we get a version (like another period piece not set in the Bombshells universe) where all the male superheroes are paired together too lol.

Still not seeing this. Anyone who likes Trinity, did you like the detective comics run Manapul did? The writing of course, everyone likes the art.
Btw, nice guys, usually when I get up there's been maybe 2 pages chat max while I slept, I think that's 4 today.

I vastly prefer the "my name is" internal monologue reintroduction to the little disembodied captions you get in some team books that remind you whatever powers everyone has and usually have some unfunny three or four word quips that take you completely out of the story the moment your eyes are drawn to them
Yes New Avengers I'm talking about you
Edit: I dub these Family Circus Captions - you hate them and you don't want to read them because they actually diminish the experience but you inevitably read them anyway

Hey now I love that book but the captions are fucking dumb. Like sometimes they pop up well into the issue when a character appears unexpectedly and...we're really doing this now? You can't just have somebody nearby say her name and call it good? Gotta get a quip in and ruin the moment

I haven't read any of these yet but they're all waiting for me. I'm really looking forward to all of them.
Man I have a ridiculous stack of high quality comics on my tablet. I think I'll start with Uncanny X-Men by Cullen Bunn and Greg Land. I have two of those to read!

Not sure if this one was unveiled already but saw it on CBR. Lol, all you statue lovers better put away your square enix money...
SE would have made it big in the 90s putting out comcis with these designs.

It was really great. All the stuff he did later was fucking awesome too, but I kind of wish he'd done more SHIELD/spy stuff before he finished up at Marvel. I bet he could have did something with Nick being the unworthy ha
Another mnoth, another round of great reviews for Black Hammer, can't wait for this book to hit trade. This month's cover is really nice too.
Hey comics GAF.
So I recently bought myself a copy of Batman Chronicles vol. 1 (collection of Detective Comics #27-38 and Batman #1) and was shocked to find that the artwork was different form the originals.
The originals look like this:
While in my copy...
So really what I want to know is why did they redo the drawings to look like shit?
They could've at least kept the purple gloves...

The general conceit as I understand it is a group of people who were basically golden age heroes / pulpy clichés in their heyday, that wake up on a place called the farm, and it's implied that's where you're sent after you've been put out to pasture, and the story is built around how they reacted and accept that, and what they do about it. I think it's a bit of an exercise in taking very tropey characters and giving them real character depth too. That is basically it, I didn't follow too deep so it may vary there a little, I read this about a year or two ago in some interviews lemire did, and I don't know how meta lemire gets with the concept but that was enough to sell me. Art us great and reviews have been high so I'm on board for sure
Night of the Monster Man....pretty god damn good. It honesty doesn't fell forced at all. Everything in Detective, Batman and Nightwing feels so connected. The art is really good too. Good start for the first cross over in Rebirth. I wonder when a Superman cross over going to happen.

Sometimes DC will "remaster" the colorwork in a book when they reprint an old series.

Batman & Nightwing
The writing was a little meh because it felt like being beat over the head about Batman not letting anyone die, but overall I like the start of this cross-over. It's different than I thought it would be in a good way. Definitely want to read more.
I need to look back at the artist on this Batman, I really liked the art.
Black Hammer 2&3
Somehow missed the second issue so I had 2 to read this week. I really like this book! I don't know what else to say. I have no idea what's going on but I really like the character and I like the mystery while not really needing it to progress that much. I just like learning more about the characters right now.
Mighty Thor
I was double tricked! I thought I called the 'twist' when Jane started talking about knowing what she knows if she thinks it but then
then it actually got me. Didn't care too much for all the other stuff though. The Shield stuff just seemed kind of bleh to me.
Superman
Nice little light hearted story. I really liked this.
Ninjak 18
I had jumped on in the last arc and thought I was mostly up to speed, but then this issue caught me off guard. Someone who follows Ninjak more, do the arcs usually jump around like this and then usually play catch-up from there?

It shows Mjolner again with Thor so I dropped that thought

It's pretty decent, yeah.
Um...
And Seven to Eternity went to 2nd printing already?! It came out yesterday!

Did you write something about black hammer 3 yet man, I thought you'd be beating the drum!
It went into second printing before it actually released.
Freaking Destiny. I still haven't finished last week's pick ups. I might as well tradewait at this point.
That's nuts. Good on them!

So what Earth is missing a Superman? Cause NSM, SG, SW make it clear there is no Superman around, but PCSM is apparently filling in for N52SM.
It actually is that confusing.

I think it's just, the original superman is back, now the new 52 superman died?
Pretty sure its just, originally the new 52 was supposed to be a redo at an editorial level, but now rebirth posits that it wasnt and all these characters have been consistent, it was just
and now superman is a thing that needs squared up to fit with that. This is how i understand it anyway, I could be wrong
I think any of the confusion is linked to the watchmen. Stuff like, well who the fuck was the new 52 superman/why did he turn to sand/why do batman etc not remember old stuff that old superman does is all going to be explained/retconned with that and dr manhattan stealing time.
watchmen fuckery.

Peter david Aquaman but he didn't get to finish it. Theres a mini called Time and Tide before it and Atlantis Chronicles also. Atlantis Chronicles was cool.
I like some of the older stuff too but I've been a dork for Aquaman since Superfriends came out.

It's just a matter of them accepting this new Superman. There seemed to be some confusion when N52 Supes died that the general public thought he was missing. Lex wants to be the Superman and he doesn't want to accept this imposter. Most the Heroes didn't really know what this "new" Superman(Pre-Crisis) was going to do or who he even was. He's been around for a while but no one was really aware of him before Last Days of Superman.
The Superman that's around now just had a different world, it supposedly accounts for where him and Lois were and what they were doing for a while in their own book, but I didn't read it so I'm not real sure how in depth it goes.

Ah right I must be way off then, sorry. I understood it as he had the exact same world as everyone else but at some point
the watchmen

It could still end up being that way, we just don't exactly know what the Watchmen stuff will account for yet. It could get to the point where this Superman's world hopping was really just bypassing and missing out on the Watchmen stuff and he really has the true memory of the current world, but as of right now he was just a different universe's Superman.
