At the very least it could bring things away from origin stories and retellings.

It was good. There was a lot of reluctance over the series due to the nu52 changes and nobody likes Barry but man it was a really fun colourful cape comic which seems so weird to see in nu52 DC.

Well from looking other things up I guess the thing that people are supposed to go crazy over is the fact that Dick has a bomb strapped to him which is syched to his heartbeat. To stop it from going off Lex suffocates him "killing" him and stopping his heart, Batman goes crazy but Lex is all "I can fix it" and before they get to the Shazam stuff happens.

Urdnot Fire posted:Her book is actually pretty good, too, much better than #0 or Harley's (or Ivy's) other appearances in the New 52. A lot of her popularity is probably because of the Joker, but Conner and Palmiotti are doing pretty good at making her actually funny. Yeah i've heard people say it's a fun book but the concept of Harley Quinn sells ridiculously well regardless of quality. Even the whole controversy with the suicide stuff didn't slow it's launch sales.

Since it was on sale (and I wasn't going to purchase terrible Justice League issues to read it) I finally read Johns/Frank's Shazam run and it's actually a lot better than I expected it to be. Now there is some terrible (and racist) Johnsian Literalism and Gary Frank was not the right choice for the book but by the time it ends it leaves things with a build that I have no idea why DC haven't jumped on the perfect opportunity for a fun action book. The ending with Mr. Mind screams the perfect book for Manapul and Buccellato to jump on and do their thing.

Teenage Fansub posted:Really? I loved the expressions he put on Captain Shazam's big dumb face. The faces were fun and appropriately goofy in places but I felt overall it made the tone too dark and I don't care for the cape design or the devil/combined sins that Shazam fights. When Billy became Shazam the book should have been a lot more colourful, bright and fun. It also doesn't help that it gave me horrible flashbacks to Batman: Earth One.

Professor Pyg is probably the most memorable Batman villain created in years, he manages to fit the modern style of serial killer villain but could also be toned down and camped up to perfectly fit with silver age Batman. Plus Motel Hell is a cool film.

Trast posted:Now I'm a bit curious about something. I've brought up that the Justice League cartoon did a lot to set who is known to people as "The Justice League" for likely anyone under thirty. But I never really thought to ask why John Stewart was picked instead of any of the other three lanterns at the time. Kyle shows up in a Superman episode previous to the Justice League series I believe so that would have been a natural move to make. Was John's inclusion strictly above adding diversity to the cast? A lot of talented people such as the late Dwayne McDuffie worked on the show and understood the importance of diversify on the team, it's the reason a lot of other characters race were changed beyond "everybody is white".

They were just good about picking a roster with characters of color the DCU already had but had never put in other media. I could've sworn both Hawkgirl and Luthor had their races changed in the show and some other supporting characters.

McSpanky posted:Luthor's look was based off of Telly Sevalas and therefore pretty strongly Grecian, which combined with his healthy tan caused some people to think he was supposed to be black back when Superman TAS first started. Yeah this was what I was referring to. He wasn't black but they did shift things around so that everybody wasn't of the same ethnicity.

lotus circle posted:Justice League United/Canada #0 is pretty good. I haven't read any of the other Justice League stuff in New 52 but it doesn't feel like you miss a lot from it and the team is almost set up as pseudo-underdogs, given they aren't high-profile heroes (J'onn and Ollie aside.) I haven't read any of Animal Man either, but his appearance here alone is making me tempted to check it out. Yeah Justice League United was good. nu52 Animal Man is also by Lemire and really good for the first arc (probably the best horror book DC has done on purpose in a while) before getting dragged into a really long boring crossover event with Swamp Thing. I'll stick with United until it eventual gets dragged into a crossover or gets a bad artist change but c listers being flippant and fighting aliens is enough to keep me around.

Trast posted:Does DC even like Superman anymore? They seem to be doing tremendously dumb things with him these days. There was an interview with Zack Snyder talking about the Superman vs Batman film recently where he says how people are too focused on the Christoper Reeves version of the character and he wants to bring things away from that. That's basically what DC seem to be doing at the moment. Erasing that version of the character from existence.

Nah I'm fed up of people constantly being afraid to move past the Donner version of Superman but I think DC are doing a bit of a baby out with the bathwater situation. They want a modern updated Superman but are throwing out a lot of things like his relationship with Lois and being a general kinder, wiser, not punching everything Superman to do so.

Infinite Crisis was terribly rushed but it's not too bad in collected form, though I also do like the ridiculously cheesy audio play version of it they released. I don't remember anything in Infinite Crisis as bad as the colouring in Final Crisis which kept making everybody white.

So Future's End had a gay character being graphically killed, "a child" being shot in the face with a gun after witnessing her parents being graphically murdered and ends on another hero "being killed". And this is only the first issue

They were trying to make Grifter second guess shooting a little girl in the face so they could kill him or something. They were pod people. Grifter explains that he hunts them down killing them in their homes but they never properly changed form. He murdered two "parents", slowly stalking them around the house like a horror film serial killer and ended with him shooting an evil child in the face muttering about how he'll kill them all even if everybody thinks he's crazy. I know they were "evil aliens" but the way the book shows it is really terrible. Waterhaul fucked around with this message at 20:08 on May 7, 2014 |

TwoPair posted:Honestly I am not a Grant Morrison fan please don't shove me in a locker but I read the words "Dino-Cop" in that solicit so gently caress it I'll give it a shot. Honestly I've been less than impressed with Morrison's work post Final Crisis so I'm hoping this is more of a return to his Seven Soliders quality work than say Happy. Especially given the murders row of talent on board (even though I think it's wasting Quitely to put him on a faux Watchmen book).

Johns/Romita Jr. first issue of Superman is a very good (if pretty generic) Superman book that spends a lot of time trying to undo the dumbness of nu52 while being a good Superman book.

I haven't cared too much about nu52 Superman so I was fine with Johns being Johns and throwing out a lot of dumb stuff or attempts at being edgy. Granted i'd prefer the book even more if was Superman fighting more giant robot apes rather than a Superman mirror.
