Wow so they're gonna be introducing PROMETHEA in JLA in a few weeks, and apparently J.H. Williams is pissed off because no one asked him or Moore permission or ran it by either of them beforehand.

Who has been asking for non-Moore and Williams Promethea? Let's be honest, who has even been asking for more WITH them?

Well it looks like DC's trying to incorporate the ABC characters in the main DCU. The Strong Family in the Terrifics and what not.

I think they're trying to set her up as a foil to the Queen of Fables.

I just have to shake my head and chuckle. shake

Now, what I'd like to see is for all the overrated sacred-cow Vertigo stuff that hasn't yet been brought into the DCU get that treatment.

For instance, I'd love to see Lyta Hall, back in her Fury costume, back to her old self, kicking Morpheus in the unmentionables.

You mean because she was his patsy in his overly convoluted plan to stage his own death?

I'm getting Doomsday Clock and I like a few things about it, Gary Frank, seeing Ozymandias have to interact with people ... and the Mime is creepy.

This might be the only DC comic I am getting.

For some positive news, even though I myself am not a fan, DC is uncancelling Cyborg in April with Marv Wolfman as writer. The book's going to #21.

LOL lol More because of all the crimes he committed -- home invasion, threats, intimidation, and, oh yeah, killing Lyta's husband. But, what you said too.

And don't anybody give me that BS about the Endless (or, as I call them, The Interminable) being above the laws of mere mortals. They're just like any other dysfunctional family of sick, messed-up people misusing powers that they don't deserve to have, and if they have such an influence over mortal affairs, well then, I *blame* them for the sorry state the world has gotten into over the past 30 years. So there.

I have an entire list of characters I won't commission because they've raped or molested someone. Thank God I didn't have to add Roy Harper because of "Outlaws" #1 only because Starfire offered first.

It is really sad that you can have that list. And none of us are particularly surprised

As for Rebirth ... I've hit a wall. I'll still pick up trades but I find the individual issues less compelling. So my list has shrunk to Nightwing, Deathstroke, Cyborg, New Super-Man and Doomsday Clock.

It feels like most titles are biding time until the conclusion of Doomsday Clock, which now has a two month gap between issues 3 and 4, and from issue 4 on will be published every other month, meaning the wheel-spinning will last even longer.

Big surprise, Metal turned out to be a complete waste of time that had nothing new or interesting to say except to throw out a bunch of Batman redesigns.

I thought the lynchpin to the whole thing was Nth metal and bringing Hawkman back post-Rebirth...? Just conjecture on my part, as I haven't read anything Metal unless it (needlessly) tied into any of my books...

Oh that's a good point
That would make sense ... even though it makes the current books a bit uninteresting

Metal is only worth it if you love Capullo art. If you do, it's glorious. If you're looking for an awesome plot, Snyder's DC stuff ain't the place to find it.

I got Hawkman number 1! I liked it! I like Hitch's art.

This incarnation of Hawkman is trying to discover his previous lives to piece together the puzzle of an impending doom. Madame Xanadu guest stars. He is an archaeologist.

I was missing Shayera a lot! Especially since this Hawkman seems a lot like Katar Hol of the Silver Age but is not a Thanagarian cop.

this Hawkman reincarnates across space and time so its an effort at tying in the Thanagrian Hawkmen with the Earth ones, basically they all existed I think, and a ton more it looks like. I think its an ok effort. OH ANOTHER COOL THING ... Hawkman's wings retract ... so simple and convenient ... its 2018 the wings get an upgrade!


A couple criticisms, I wish there was an old and recognizable (or rebooted version) Hawkman villain in the first issue, even just for fun, and the I liked the writer's (Venditti (sp)) dialogue very much but thought the issue was a bit slow plot wise. There was a generic villain in the first issue, it kinda ties into the plot but would've been more fun with a familiar face.

I've picked up Hal Jordan and the GL Corps by Venditti. in issue 10 so far. I'm really liking it! I love seeing many long-time background Lanterns in the crowd shots, and ones like Rot Lop Fan and Tomar-Tu getting a chance to shine.

Soranik Natu leading a bunch of "reformed" (?) Yellows to salvage the Sinestro Corps legacy is interesting too.

And Ganthet and Sayd, my favorite little blue people.

I feel like it’s a fun and respectful take on the Corps. Too bad it only goes up to issue 50. But it will make for a good weekend marathon

Do not buy Heroes In Crisis.

They've killed off Wally West and managed to completely undermine the whole point of Rebirth

Someone posted that on tumblr. I had to warn you guys.

Thanks, Sarky.

Between that and the "shocking plot twist" in Doomsday Clock #7 --

Turns out Ozymandias was faking his illness all along. Oh, Johns, you rascal, you.


-- this is the perfect time for people to say, "ENOUGH," and stop giving DC their money.
