Teenage Fansub posted:Maybe he got excited for Futures End and now isn't such a Batman Beyond fan. Batman Beyond is one of the only good parts in that story. It's also pretty self contained and doesn't really have anything to do with the rest of the series- DC should honestly just compile the BB storyline in its own trade and release it separate at the end.

FutureFriend posted:DT can you please tell me how this drawing is actually real good Nope, that is not a good drawing but since the rest of the issue is incredibly strong I'm willing to turn a blind eye to it (and the weird Blackfire at the end) MonsieurChoc posted:It's the name of a demon from the SMT series, as well as the name of an Aztec god with Dark in front of it.The fact that so many tits puns can be done with it is merely happy coincidence, I believe. That is correct At first it was just a name I pulled out of my rear end for the first board I ever participated but then I grew fond of the name and started using it everywhere (so if you see a D_T or Tzitzimine on the wild, chances are is me). Thinking about it, I have nearly ten years with it  McSpanky posted:Normally you'd be right but D_T always turns a deaf ear to earnest attempts to engage him in a dialogue about the troublesome elements of the things he likes. In posts like this and this there's no no malicious tone and are pretty clearly just some guys trying to better understand him and his, charitably, unusual tastes, but he ignores them without fail and plays everything off as a general difference of opinion on quality. That's suspiciously evasive at best and cowardly at worst. I actually believe that is just a difference on opinion in quality, people just have different tastes. Still, I'll humor you. I answered at Yvonmukluk comment already so I'll just focus on Gaz-l's Gaz-L posted:Pretty tangential, but seeing that first page reminded of the original controversy, and I was wondering what our resident Red Hood fanatic's feelings on those pages and posts like this. were then, and are now? My feelings haven't changed, back then I find the whole scene as setup for the characters development over the series and pretty in line for Kori's new backstory. Opinion that it was confirmed as the book progressed. A follow up article on the controversy analyzing the book after, let's say, a year it would been interesting, everyone who did keep reading the series came to understand that the situation was overblown.

Red Hood/Arsenal all the way. I really hope it ends up being better then Outlaws was for so long. It was the book I looked forward most when the New 52 was first coming...before the entire thing turned out to be horrible. But now the New 52 is over and I couldn't be happier. Maybe everything is getting better? I wonder if the new book will ever get around to reintroducing Lian? It looks like she's gonna be involved in the Titans issue of Convergence.

Maybe everything is getting better? Starfire controversy aside, RHATO was a very fun and well put book. Lobdell has a strong grasp on this version of the characters and he knew how to balance them adequately. Logically, the team up shouldn't work due how different the characters are but he managed to make it work. Rocafort's pencills were also vibrant, colorful and detailed (so much that even the book harsher critics accepted RHATO at pretty to look at) And yes, the art has been the biggest issue for the book from the longest time. After Rocafort left it was stuck with Green II that it was the replacement guy for every artist back then. While the guy does have talent, he's a better fit for horror comics so his style clashed too much with RHATO's tone. After him there were issues with various artists sharing art duties and Kirkham's excellent work with Lobdell's final issue. When Tynion came on board they hyped Mico Suayan as the new artist (and he certainly seemed a great choice) but the guy didn't even deliver a single issue! Julius Gopez was then appointed as the book artist and his work was, well, horrible. Tynion's script were bad enough already so having such lovely art it only served to drive away the readership. There were some bright spots though, Jeremy Haun on the Zero Year tie in and Stephen Segovia on Tynion's final issue. Shame that the writing still sucked balls Then Rapha Sandoval was announced as the book new artist but he only did a full issue and just vanished letting RB Silva as the de facto artist for the book. While Silva has some issues, his style is perfect for the book and the best artist the book has had since Rocafort. I see difficult for Liam to be introduced but who knows?

I don't know if those elements are connected to the current storyline and the issues I read today, but I'm hoping that's ignorable as possible.

The All-Caste Personally I found them fascinating since they added a whole new layer to Jason and potential for tons of new stories. They weren't that developed because Lobdell's plan was to have them and their fight against the Untitled as a long term arc revealing more about them as time passed. Then he was removed from the book and the idea was cut short. Tynion tried to retcon them away by using the League of Assasins and dealing with the Untitled at once. As you can imagine, that went extremely poorly. He did managed to lay waste on the concept so I don't believe is gonna be prominent any time soon. Since you're checking out the most recent issues, I'd love to read your thoughts on the reviews I've made about them http://www.comicbookandmoviereviews.com/search/label/RHATO I started reviewing with issue 35.

You make it high art from caring about it so much. That's what being a fan is all about, man. You put a lot of effort into what you say about comics and I really appreciate that. I read 38, 37, and the Future's End tie in. I don't really care for Oliver Stark, but the rest of 37 was good. Of the three my favorite was the Future's End issue, because I love the idea of Jason going back to his "kills criminals" beginings. That's my sort of super hero. And the "It didn't." bit was heartwrenching. Definitely a little hard to follow, though.

Yeah the Future's End issue was great, although I have to wonder how viable that take on Jason is on the long term. Seeing him killing dudes seems easy to become boring after three issues. The fact the interaction between Roy and Jason is so heart wrenching (despite being a few pages long) speaks tons of how good is Lobdell grasp on both characters. You CAN believe the internal struggling between them. Red Hood/Arsenal is gonna be SO good. And yes, I tend to be very passionate about stuff I like.  Alucard Nacirema posted:So apparently Scott Lobdell's hot new book Doomed is about the adventures of a teenage Doomsday clone.... I wouldn't give a lot of weight to that info. I've only seen it reported by BC and that was pretty much Rich pulling out of his rear end. The single piece of art makes me think that is more of a creator oriented thing.

I would read the hell out of Teenage Doomsday clone, but only if it was as humor oriented as that sounds. The cover looks all dark and serious.

That's something I've argued for a while. For a full no mercy Red Hood antihero it would need to be a Vertigo series, completely outside of the regular DCU. Drop any supervillians, superheroes and superheroes and just have Jason as a incredibly trained guy willing to bring justice to the world. Having him traveling all around the world going after drug cartels, slave trade rings or corrupt politics would be awesome as hell. His current direction is perfect for the DCU though.

ElNarez posted:I dunno, I feel like Hitch doing a Justice League book is the Big Blockbuster Book announcement that's gonna sell by the truckload, but DC's thrown it in the middle of every other piece of news because I guess unlike Marvel they don't know how to milk announcements for all they're worth (which to be honest I'm thankful for). If it was, like "GEOFF JOHNS AND BRIAN HITCH" or "WARREN ELLIS AND BRIAN HITCH" or "[BOOKS-WITHOUT-PICTURES WRITER] AND BRIAN HITCH", I would've believed it, but Hitch without a writer is not hot stuff, his Image book was a bland version of a Mark Millar pitch comic. Besides, everyone knows that he is not going to last past the first four issues.

They published a story called Superman: Doomed about Superman becoming Doomsday and literally being referred to as SUPERDOOMSDAY and that actually turned out to be pretty good. Crazier ideas have turned up decent books. And as far as Red Hood/Arsenal goes, frankly I will forgive literally anything Lobdell does if he takes this prime opportunity the not-a-reboot is giving him and gets rid of Arsenal's goddamn trucker hat. Just pull a Marvel and sync up Roy to look like his TV counterpart, or give him another new look, just please artists, do something to not make Roy Harper look so dumb.

Lobdell's attempts to make H'El the new Bizarro before Editorial, of all things, told him "no way" is still one of my favorite stories of Nu52. Both because anyone turning down Lobdell is great, and it's also the one example of Editorial doing anything worthwhile since the reboot started.

You completely missed or ignored Yvonmukluk's assertion that what's being removed from the book is, specifically, a portrayal of Starfire that many people find very unappealing to female readers if not outright sexist. Gaz-L basically asked you how you felt about that same subject when the Red Hood book came out and if you feel differently now. Both of those questions are ultimately about opinions, yes, but it's your opinion that people are curious about, not the fact that it is an opinion. Instead you give these bizarre non-sequitur answers like "that's consistent with Kory's backstory from issue #2, so?" That doesn't provide any meaningful information! None of the basic facts are in dispute here.

DT is rapidly becoming the SuperMechagodzilla of BSS. Think about that for a minute. Anyway, Scott Lobdell did Generation X back in the day, which is still one of my favorite comics, so I can never really hate on him as much as some of yall do. He's just up there with Humberto Ramos in the list of people who used to do good work and now have gone completely off the rails.

Yeah, that is a super smart idea. I was pretty down on the announcement yesterday because I only saw 3-4 new books that looked like must-pulls, but if I can get a decent preview of everything before June, I'm sure I can find some other stuff to try out. I was hoping the relaunch would help replenish my pull list, because at one point I was pulling over two dozen DC books, but I've dropped a ton over the past year, and I was looking at dropping a few more if their current arcs didn't improve, which would have brought down to like, six pulls. Still wish there was a Zatanna solo book though.

But oh wait that's not literally written in the text so you're just going to ignore that.

Please stop talking to the guy who has spent months proving he has no interest in changing his opinions. The last time anything related to his opinions was funny was the very first time someone said "hey man I gave that series you obsess over a try and what the gently caress". The Section Eight thing is weird. I do not see the appeal. I think Hitman is one of the Truly Great comics but have zero idea what this is going to be and why there is any interest. They were a gag that has not aged well. But I am feeling positive about the general direction. Whether it sticks or works or is profitable is going to be interesting, but good job for trying DC, it can't be easy.
