Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
But.. but... this doesn't fit my narrative.

To be fair, the Final Days arc has been pretty solid so far. It if anything made me curious about New 52 supes, which I haven't cared about since the Morrison run, and to be honest I didn't even care much then. Lois and Clark Supes is the best though.
That's what I have been doing, it mentions bits of Darkseid War, adn I guess some previous Superman arcs, but it gets you up to speed pretty well. I would at least read Lois and Clark as well though.

You can, Superman's condition is explained in the first couple pages of the first issue.
Yes, in the sense that you can read all 4 titles that make up the crossover
Thx, will order it wheb its avaiable^^

I'm pretty sure Batgirl will be fine to jump on. The way the last arc ended as setup is nothing like Batgirl Rebirth begins , so there's definitely a pivot to make it a jumping on point (they are going from more established in Burnside to Training Arc wandering Asia.
Batgirl and the Birds of Prey rather suggests that there's a chunk of pre-Nu52 Oracle stuff loosely returning to continuity.
Son I'll be surprised if there's actually much Burnside expected knowledge at all.
And the Superman book appears to be pre-52 Clark as well, and since 97% of his history doesn't exist in Nu52 that should be relatively clean too.
Given how awkwardly a bunch of books are wrapping up arcs in their last few issues I'd be very surprised if any of the new books aren't setup as jumping on points.

Fair enough, and I'm sure that the books will be structured as jumping on points, the general point I was trying to make is that some of them are going to be more rooted in past continuity than others.

Anyway, partway through Titans Hunt (issue 5), and the story is pretty intriguing. It even managed to make me semi-curious about Hawk and Dove, which is kind of a feat in itself. The art, though, damn. That's some mediocre ass art.
Which Dove is it, Don or Dawn?

Dawn. She and Hank had a pretty cool fight scene with some mooks.
That's my favorite pairing, I've always thought it was more interesting than Hank and Don or Holly and Dawn.

Damn, lost track and didn't realize Darkseid War and Omega Men were this week.

Yeah, I don't really know anything about them. I read a few issues of the Liefeld series back at the start of the New 52* but dropped it for obvious reasons. Now I'm kind of wanting to know more about them... gah.
*Fun fact for those of you following along at home: Rob Liefeld wrote and drew a Hawk & Dove series for the new 52. Ain't that some shit?
Flash fact: Rob Liefeld's first published comics work was the interiors for a Hawk & Dove miniseries in 87 or 88.

At this point there's not much in the way of unconfirmed rumors going around, it's pretty much all laid out.

The Kesels H&D run was pretty good - another casualty of 'events' though, when it leaked that they were going to make Captain Atom do a face-heel turn, and they quickly rejigged things into making Monarch Hawk instead
I imagine it's get updated the same time as comixology proper does, so 3am EST.
Or if you pre-order order it, it will que up to download as soon as it's available.

Isn't that like an old alternate ending to COIE?
earth 2 Superman would've replaced Silver Age Superman?
RIP N52 Supes. I'll always remember your victory against Vyndyktvx!

Is Didio the Anti-Monitor?
If you go back through the first few pages of the thread, a bunch of us predicted this
Ok? I'm sure it's explained in the book

The lovable goofball Wally West (in Justice League Cartoon) was originally the Wally West as the flash, and had been around for decades. The New 52 decided on some 5 year history stuff (and everything before that was deleted). Some characters got deleted (like Wally), others got heavily rewritten/altered (Cassandra Cain is a child now). The black new 52 Wally I still don't get, because its not as if they couldn't have given him a new name. Instead, they decided to try to rewriting old redhead Wally as new black Wally, and more than a few people disliked new black Wally because he just feel in with so many black stereotypes. If they wanted to do that, fine, but why make him the new 52's Wally West? Not like the name made people buy more (in fact, more than one person I know stopped buying it because of that whole mess)

Shazam
Superman
Flash (can't decide between Barry/Wally, even Bart & Jay are great)
Batman use to be in my top three but he's falling, hell I might put Guy in fourth.
Flash
Superman
Shazam (will always be captain marvel to me)
Are there any non-spoiler reviews out there?
I should just wait, but it's nice to see the general positive response
Animal Man
Darkseid
TIE Green Lantern (all of 'em but Guy and Salaak)
TIE Flash (all of 'em)
Yep, unfortunately it absolutely is true.
The only married suoerhero in the N52 was Buddy Baker (Animal Man). He got a pass because the family structure was integral to Lemire's story.
Jesus Christ...I don't even know what to say.
