Nocking an arrow is also dumb, considering Ollie and Felicity are nowhere near the badguys when Lex and co show up. Hence why Katana's just chilling with her sword/hubby over her shoulder and Cupid doesn't even have her bow out.

Then again, New52-Roy is pretty dumb.

I'm not sure why that'd be the case when there are two more issues of Star Spangled War Stories featuring G.I. Zombie out before then.

Too busy writing terrible OGNs and being a "consultant" on TV shows of a higher story quality than anything he's done in comics since forever, I'd imagine. Oh well, at least it's not like he just introduced a huge change and teased a long-term villain or anything.

I'm only fine with this because there's still Greg Pak on Action Comics and it obviously has to mean he's finally doing a Shazam book.

But I'm still pretty annoyed given the obvious long term hook with the old man spying on Clark that'll probably go nowhere or be resolved rather badly by a new writer who has no idea what he intended for it.

Forever Evil is the one where the Crime Syndicate invades from Earth-3, right? I have a hard time keeping track of them. That's not the point, though. The point of the post is that I remember this guy getting all bent out of shape on the CBR forum when people wouldn't agree with his argument that it's better than Earth 2.

DC Comics is ending its New 52 imprint this June, the company announced via press release today.

Starting June 3, the publishing line will feature 24 new comics and 25 ongoing comics. Despite the New 52 coming to an end, DC Comics confirms this is not another reboot, and it is not returning to a pre-New 52 universe.

"This heralds in a new era for the DC Universe which will allow us to publish something for everyone, be more expansive and modern in our approach and tell stories that better reflect the society around us," said DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Dan DiDio in a press release. "Whether you've been a DC fan your whole life, or whether you are new to comics - there will be a book for you beginning in June."

The relaunch will begin following the Convergence event this spring, which will see different universes from DC brought together by Brainiac.

In the wake of the Convergence event, DC will also be offering a Free Comic Book Day called DC Comics: Divergence. This is going to be made free at participating stores starting May 2 and feature three eight-page previews for the upcoming June releases of Batman by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, Justice League by Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok and Superman by Gene Luen Yang and John Romita, Jr.

The New 52 is a revamp and relaunch of the entire DC Comics line. In September 2011, DC Comics cancelled its then-existing titles and debuted 52 new series.

Thats kind of like saying compared to this pile of cow poo poo, this fart doesn't smell too bad. Starfire herself isnt even that bad, the costume is about what I'd expect but the entire point of that is everyone ogling her. Which even that wouldnt be that bad but the pre teen girl looking down her own shirt really skeeves me out. Did that really need to be there? Are you sure you're making comics for everyone DC?

Not really. It just seems like desperation from both sides, i.e. "a reboot worked really well the last time, so let's just do that again!"

If one company hadn't done anything they would just let the other one get all the attention.

And original preboot Starfire was pretty confident in her body anyway. It's not like she went around in a a burlap sack. (I just remembered that page from Gotham Central, when the Titans show up to identify a kid in a Robin suit, and all the guys are just gaping at her, while Chandler rolls her eyes, before one of the other women points out that the two lesbians on the squad are doing the same thing.) It's about whether the character is portrayed as being in control of that stuff. Old Starfire was a girl who liked looking sexy and expressing affection. That's fine, albeit you don't want ALL characters to be like that.
