Darth Nat posted:I remember kind of liking this a million years ago, but it might have just been for that one plot point where to complete the roster of iconic New Teen Titans archetypes, the Raven stand-in downloads a copy of Batman's personality into her boyfriend's brain. So you basically have super grumpy Batman running around with a bunch of bizarre teenage heroes. Traditional supers are not Adam Warren's thing by any stretch, but it was kind of shocking how good he was at writing Batman (by proxy).

So I finally got around to reading Johns' new Shazam series and I honestly kinda dig it. Dale Eaglesham makes it gorgeous. Although it is kinda funny that the cover is is all 'trying to save the world and pass math!' and the Marvel Family have spend maybe a couple of pages on Earth.

There is a ton of good stuff. I'll always remember PAD's Aquaman run for Erik Larsen coming on after and continuing their slap-fight by trying to undo some of what David had done.

Covok posted:Oh, I get ya now, fam. She still has that (or at least she does through the original run). What's irritating about how people wrote Cass is similar to how they write X-23 in that nobody but the people on her main book pay attention to the character development they had. It was really bad for Cassandra. Some writers (Chuck Dixon for one) decided since she wasn't good at speaking meant she should speak in these sentence fragments. I mean, Cass is usually terse, but she talks in complete sentences. Usually with some ellipses, granted.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:I've always had a soft spot for Ralph and Sue, of course due to Giffen and DeMatteis. I marked out when he was added to the Flash cast, and I even liked the actor a lot. He brought me back to watching for a while during Season 4, but I couldn't maintain that. That reminds me I re-read that mid-00's JLA Classified/I Can't Believe It's Not The Justice League run and man that did not hold up like I wanted. Ralph and Sue were fine - I mean, Sue's the smartest character in that book just as God intended - but I'm not sure why they decided to write Mary Marvel borderline special needs.

When they started laying the groundwork for Monarch, everybody was all "Oh, that's clearly Captain Atom." DC did a hard swerve and made it Hawk (Hank Hall) instead.

Edge & Christian posted:The dream of the 90s is alive in Burbank, and back during the New 52 Liefeld bounced around writing and/or drawing Hawk & Dove, Deathstroke and Hawkman for a couple of years. Everyone is correct in saying that he hasn't done anything for DC in over five years though. And they eventually stopped returning his calls, it would seem. Are people just finally, genuinely, tired of his constant lateness that even being One of the Nicest Guys in Comics can't help? I almost never thought I'd see it. This must be why he turned to Kickstarter where he's apparently having trouble as well.

I watched Linkara's retrospective on Cassandra Cain and he mentions that she retires from the super life at the end of the run in Detective Comics. While I'm not upset, I am curious why she's back in costume for Outsiders.

That's also fair. If you were looking for an extension of Tynion's run, it probably won't work out so well. And I swear Kaliber looks like post-apoc early 90's Johnny Blaze.
