DC Universe Rebirth Begins This May

All in all, I am prepared to call this a win.

Batbooks are 1000000% hype, most of the Superbooks sound at least good, there's definitely some stinkers in the JL books, and I get more Blue Beetle.

2.99!

Really digging the Wonder Woman cover. Very filled, but it doesn't feel crowded. Everything is clear and visible.
 
FAM LET ME HAVE THEM LEFTOVERS IF YOUR NOT GONNA EAT IT.

That is one whack-ass team though.

When is the Special coming out?
Also, can someone summarize the Batman books for me? I missed a few. What's Snyder doing and what's up with The Joker?

Snyder's doing All-Star Batman, which is not a continuation of Frank Miller's uh seminal work but a whole new thing with a bevy of artists most of whom are awesome.
 
Well, as usual Batman gets the best writers and artists but overall it looks pretty solid. I'm excited for All Star Batman, the Superman books, Wonder Woman, Flash (potentially), Deathstroke and Blue Beetle.

Too bad for Green lantern.
 
Curious what Johns is working on, I'm guessing Shazam finally since he said it was a background character. Maybe JSA too.

Did they say anything about Earth 2? Could be JSA won't be launched until August or so.

Don't think Earth 2 really came up.

Ah Ok. Keeping JLA and that under wraps is suspect. So excite.

Seems pretty good all around. I'm happy Jaime is sticking around and will check that out. Kinda bummed black Wally is also sticking around though.
 
Alright GAF so now that the Rebirth news is out are we gonna have a Rebirth OT like with Marvel?

........................................don't get too excited.


Artemis is up in the air but Bizarro is automatically fire.

Rebirth OT would be cool, but I'm lazy.

Also, I like Bizarro, but putting him on a team with Red Hod and Artemis is the single strangest decision I've ever seen.

Doesn't change that Marvel isn't pressured as much as DC atm.

Aight.

The good books that aren't part of the trinity family seem DoA sadly.

We'll see.

Yeah, $2.99 and the Rebirth has definitely pulled me in. I'm probably gonna go with Batman, Action Comics, and New Super-Man, just to dip my toes in; five books a month for less than four Marvel is fine by me. I've been meaning to trim my pulls there anyways.
 
Didn't watch this live, but they didn't announce anything about the Earth 2/Justice Society book, did they? Guess they're saving that for the one-shot.

Also, LOL at the reports of creative teams being pulled and changed at the last minute. I hope this isn't New 52 all over again, but it probably will be with this editorial team.
 
Well DC is kinda desperate right now while Marvel probably doesn't really give a shit about Civil War 2. It's just a movie tie-in.

Just make CW2 and other big books 3-4 dollars and then boom, problem solved.

FFS Deadpool #10 or 11 is 10 bucks.

I'm saying Civil War 2 is gonna suck.

Who is this character? I thought superboy was a lot older than, what, 10yo like Damian?

That's Lois and Clark's son.

I'll give BB 12 issues max.

Looking at something like JL3K, Giffen books have the potential to go the distance.

The reasonable bet would be on Jon, son of the pre-flashpoint Lois and Clark. He discovered his powers in the most recent issue, and with it confirmed that that Clark will be encountering the 'main' one, some kind of training agreement doesn't seem too crazy.

Or maybe Jon ends up meeting Damian on his own terms and thing go from there.

hahaha so Damien and Jon Kent will be the Trunks and Gohan of the DCU? hahaha. Ok, I'm down.

BTW, where are you guys seeing all this news? I want to see Ted Kord back as well. Bleeding cool only has the Bat/Sup/and WW books on display.
 
I usually just by my comics in trade but I think I might have to start a pull list for this. I definitely want Detective and Nightwing the second they come out. I might also pick up Titans. Is there a place where you can buy digital copies of these? I have an LCS I go to but I'm just curious.

They just did a livestream. There'll be summaries going up shortly.

Pro-tip, avoid Bleeding Cool.
