To be fair, DC's been all about putting stories before continuity ever since Flashpoint! It's just that a lot of the time those stories were poo poo. Also I guess I'll see if Starfire could be the second coming of Palmiotti/Conner Power Girl, but goddamn Harley Quinn is so bad I just don't know if I can trust them. Also also, I pray that the cancellation of Trinity of Sin and the merging of universes means that both the Question can be a person again, and the Phantom Stranger can be an actual Stranger and not just Phantom Judas because goddamn it no I won't stop ranting I still think it's dumb and I will never shut up about it

Alucard Nacirema posted:So apparently Scott Lobdell's hot new book Doomed is about the adventures of a teenage Doomsday clone.... 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.

Senor Candle posted:Wow I'm sorry but that looks dumb as poo poo. Why is Superman running around dressed like a ninja fighting people hand to hand? WHY DOES HE HAVE HIS FULL CAPE AND COSTUME UNDER A NINJA SUIT? Did I miss something where he changed places with the guy or something? I think that and the Atom preview both answer pretty well that apparently people under the domes lose their powers... Except until they have to have a one-shot based around them, at which point they get their powers back. As for the full costume thing... I guess Superman does it because it makes him feel better?

BrianWilly posted:Am I just not "getting" this Convergence stuff or are these comics really just kinda weird and offputting for some reason? Of the three previews posted so far, I don't think a single one has really excited me. I'm kind of with you. I don't know why, but for some reason I was under the illusion that this whole thing would be sort of visiting all these old universes... like, the whole universe. Instead it seems to be "here's a weird scenario inside bottled Pre-Crisis Gotham or whatever". And I guess that makes sense in the overall grand story that Convergence is supposed to be but like I said, I just got myself overly excited to read more issues of Pre-Flashpoint comics.

moleman posted:I must be from the convergent universe where everybody wanted revisit anything from Flashpoint. Flashpoint had plenty of decent ideas, it's just the execution and what the event led to that makes people bitter towards it. If nothing else, Captain Thunder being a weird Captain Planet/He-Man mashup was great.

I am down for Bat-mech, but god I hate Gordon's new look. I don't know if Capullo just loves short mohawks and Snyder's throwing him a bone, or if Snyder loves short mohawks, but they literally just had Joker have the same haircut, then before that had Bruce have the short buzzcut in Zero Year. Also no mustache = NOT MAH COMMISSIONER

Baron Bifford posted:How are the Green Lantern books these days? Any good? Red Lanterns was good, note that I say "was" because it's over now. Charles Soule spun gold out of crap, then left. It kind of declined after that but I personally think it finished up well enough before its cancellation. Sinestro's a pretty nice antihero book that I, at least, am enjoying. As for the other Lantern titles, they have been pretty bad since Johns left and that's saying something, since Johns was on a steady decline for a while.

Whew. Thank goodness, for a second after seeing that other preview I was worried that Arsenal had gotten a terrible haircut and ditched the trucker hat and remembered that I had sworn to read every issue of RH&A if they ditched said hat, but since Roy's got bad hair and a bad hat, I'm safe.
