    Yeah, JL8 was one of the best things Johns has ever written. It's not that he's been so bad lately, but he was at that point that a lot of writers get to where everything is very samey.

    But man, JL8 was just awesome. And Batman 7 and 8 finally sold me on Snyder. I hate how long he takes to really get moving on his stories sometimes; how they all require walls of exposition in the first issues. But man, I am fucking psyched. I even picked up Nightwing. I may even pick up The Dark Knight next month, since it's being plotted by Snyder and written by Winnick.

    Woo, best DC week in quite some time. And I'm looking forward to this trinity dealy.

    Van Sciver leaving Firestorm for GL and an OGN. I bet he draws the lead-in or one shot that will start this third army GL event.

    From Bleeding Cool
    In September, it will be the one year anniversary of the DC New 52.

    Do you think they were going to let us forget? Did you think they weren’t going to do something special? Across the range of New 52 books?

    I understand that for one month all the original new 52 books will be numbered #0 instead of being #13. And that their #13s will run in October instead.

    That the zero issues will reveal stuff that happened before issue #1. Year Ones, flashbacks, origins.

    This might be the perfect opportunity, say, in Batgirl to show what happened in South Africa. Justice League to show disparate superheroes working a case, but who never meet. Batman, to see where the Owls were the night that the Waynes were murdered. Stuff like that.

    Rather than One Month Later, it’s more like Five Years Earlier.

    There may be some creator credit surprises as well. I have to say, it does strike me as rather fun…

    Could def be interesting, but at the same time hopefully doesnt break the flow of any stories

    It really is the 90's again!

    imacrashintoyou_zps24ed63b0.jpg
  • AriviaArivia Registered User
    That sounds pretty fun, but yep, very 90s. Also makes me worry a little about the ability of individual teams to hold down their own arcs if they keep getting taken over for events like this.

    At least Batwoman didn't get involved in Night of the Owls.

    Legion Lost trade cancelled. That's a weird one, since that would still carry over into the new universe I thought. The Legion just isn't a big selling point.

    edit: even the Night Force trade has been cancelled

    Wow, that is brutal.

    The JL:GL trade is canceled as well. That book was fantastic, too :(

    I don't know if this is the "wrong" opinion or if I'm in the minority or something,

    but I don't like George Perez's art.

    Supergirl this week was pretty weak. I mean, it's never been the highlight of the month, but it's always been simple fun and the art really backed that up.

    This one could have at least been saved by Asrar's art, I think.

  • AriviaArivia Registered User
    No I don't like his art either and you're right, Supergirl took a hit because of it.

    He did do a really cool cover, though.

    (Although I have to disagree that Supergirl hasn't been a highlight. It is really fun!)

    Oh, yeah, it's very fun!

    But I only get 6 books, and I have to rank Flash, Wonder Woman, and Swamp Thing above it.

    So it takes a hit going up against those.

    But I am surprised at how much I enjoy it! I actually put it above Animal Man (which I thought I would like way more, but its just okay, and the art is..."not for me", to put it nicely) and Batman, too.

  • TairuTairu Registered User regular
    Perez's art has always felt super dated to me. I mean, I know it's technically well done but... I dunno, it just never looks good to me.

  • ArrynArryn Ask not the Innkeeper For destiny is thy name!Registered User regular
    Perez's art, like Romita Jr.'s, has grown worse over the years. I still love Perez's stuff on the Wolfman Teen Titans series, and COIE. But his more modern stuff is just not there.

    Arryn on
  • SkulloSkullo Registered User regular
    I mean, it's hard when you have to go up against artists like Chiang, Asrar, and Manapul, too. I'm sure a portion of my dislike comes from putting it up against those.

  • AriviaArivia Registered User
    I did laugh for about a minute at the page where Supergirl's eyes literally turn sideways in her head, though.

    What is Legion lost? I see it and it was one of the bundle deals where I picked up Blackhawks from

    did they really base that decision on pre-orders? that is fairly dumb in this day and age.

    A Legion of Super-Heroes spin-off that isn't very good. Not worth getting.

  • TexiKenTexiKen Registered User regular
    It was actually the Legion Lost story done years ago by Abnett and Lanning and Olivier Coipel. The Night Force trade was also the previous series.

    That kinda tells me is that not only is there barely enough interest in the existing stories going by their sales, no one cares enough to buy the previous stuff either, dumped do to total lack of interest (hey wha happen?)

    imacrashintoyou_zps24ed63b0.jpg
  • AriviaArivia Registered User
    Actually, I knew the cancelled trade was the DnA stuff, but Brainleech was making a comparison to Blackhawks so I guessed it was the new stuff.

    I just re-read Captain Atom and I cannot believe this is written by JT Krul

    seriously

    who murdered him and stole his pelt?

    IQ41voQ.jpg
  • TexiKenTexiKen Registered User regular
    Ah, gotcha. It doesn't help they named the series the same and then release a trade around the same time. The new series could have been "Legion Lost Again"

    It's like Avengers vs. X-Men, now we'll have AvX showing up and we can't abbreviate the main series anymore!

    It isn't AvX, it is AvX: Vs.

    So you can just say Vs.

    It would be so great if one of the Vs issues was done in the style of a beat 'em up

    with the Sound Effects text all like C-C-C-COMBO and FINISH HIM!

    That would rule

    if I was writing one of those that is exactly what I would do

    It'll actually just be a mini-series of the Avengers and X-Men dueling each other with the Vs. System CCG.

    Tap Magik to flicker Magneto, then block your Iron Man with my Colossus. He's got the Juggernaught Enchantment which makes him indestructible.

    In response, I activate Tony Stark, Iron Man's anti-magnetism safeguards. He untaps and is removed from combat.

    You can't activate Iron Man- the the Lightning Bolt on Magneto caued Electromagnetism and put EMP status on the board, forcing you to discard all Tech Color Cards.

    I love George Perez's art and thought Supergirl looked great this week

    I mean, I love Asrar's art, too, but I don't think Perez's art looked dated in this (although it has in some other recent stuff)

    zXVftn4.jpg
  • AriviaArivia Registered User
    It's not as bad as what JRjr has been putting out in AvX, but it wasn't great

    Something about his linework and detailing does look really dated to me, though.

    No it was the newer 52 set I know Dan Abnett wrote the earlier one
    They were offering bundle deals of comics like Blackhawks 1-6 that I picked up for cheap
    They had a bunch of the other comics either I had them a passing interest or no idea
