[DC Comics]: Crisis on Infinite #Rebirths
Posts
Skimming through some wiki articles...it looks like Smallville is pretty much just normal DC now, with some Early Years differences. That seems like a waste.
Yeah I'm only reading the main series so if this was foreshadowed in a tie-in I didn't know.
Otherwise, it feels like 90% of the line will just ignore it and move on.
With Greg Pak's (current) run.
Avoid Scott Lobdell's issues because, well, it's Scott Lobdell
Action Comics #25 is the beginning of Pak's run. you might also want to try Batman/Superman #1-4, which pits New 52 Batman and Superman against more classic versions (from Earth 2).

I write about video games and stuff. It is fun. Sometimes.
It didn't stop being good when Lee left for the record.
Also he's back now.

Do the sales numbers bear this out? are they in a bad spot?
used to love PG and GLand a few others. Dick as bats. Now i cant be bothered.... anyone else feel this way?
I nominate Barbara Gordon. Have her magic surgery relapse or whatever. She was far better as Oracle than she ever was as Batgirl, and a brand new character will not carry the same weight.
If I had a twitter I'd reply to her tweet saying just that (assuming it fit in whatever twitter's character cap is).
I have shrunk my allotment of DC comics since they either stop printing them or I just got bored with where they were taking the story
The sales numbers on almost everything but Batman and Justice League are in free-fall right now. It's kind of exciting to see the numbers every month, really. For example, within two months of firing JHWIII from Batwoman, sales had fallen almost 20% from 25K to just above 20K. Out of the four main Green Lantern books, GL and Corps both fell after Johns left, but they're stable and still doing respectably. New Guardians and Red Lanterns are in the high 20Ks, and have been falling a little each month.
Almost all the Dark books except JL Dark are at the 20K mark and falling, which is why they let Animal Man end with Lemire and why I don't expect the other titles to last long. Basically there are a handful of obvious marquee titles with members of the Justice League, and then everything else is sliding. The Superman books are in a pretty bad way as well. To try and fix this they're apparently going to be cancelling a bunch of the low-sellers and putting Weeklies out to take their places (i.e., 4 books to one weekly), but I can't see that helping because you're only going to get pretty dedicated readers buying weeklies, and you're only going to get the most dedicated readers to buy multiple weeklies at once.
I'm honestly still reading quite a few books, and I'm looking forward to a lot of the upcoming stuff (JL United and Forever People will be great, I'll give Sinestro and Aquaman & The Others a shot because I like the worlds and characters Johns established). But as writers leave titles, I'll be leaving with them in most cases.
The only recent writer changes I kept were Aquaman, which is still good, and Action Comics under Pak. I dropped Batwoman and Flash like a rock.

Nah, she posts things like this all the time.
She's never been shy about saying how Stephanie Brown needed to come back either. It's part of her whole deal now- telling it like it is. Or how her fandom things it is.
His last issue was either out today or comes out next week.
Yeah, I stopped buying DC books a while back. I think Demon Knights was the last regular title I bought, and I dropped that before Cornell left.
I got a bunch of the New 52 TPBs from my local library, and holy cow, those are some shit comics. The only good one of the bunch, was Frankenstein. Flash was pretty, but the writing left me cold. Same with Snyder and Capullo's Batman.
Nightwing, Hawkman, The Dark Knight, Batgirl, Blackhawks, Detective Comics, New Guardians, Superboy, and Superman were just the same boring, homogenized crap.
Over on the War Rocket Ajax podcast, Chris Sims and Matt Wilson were talking about how a lot of new titles have been giving characters "the Hawkeye treatment." Good examples are the new Moon Knight, She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel, and Punisher titles.
But, I feel like those books are all doing what serialized superhero books used to do. They're building a world around the respective title characters. She-Hulk has her new law office in a building full of superpowered tenants. Ms. Marvel has a solid supporting cast, made up of friends and family. Punisher has a diner where he hangs out. You feel invested in their adventures, because you're invested in their world.
I feel like that's what most DC books are missing. The characters feel like they just bounce from shocking event to shocking event, and there's no impact.
That's what I liked about Frankenstein. The dude has a base of operations, and a cool, varied supporting cast. And when he returns from a mission, you get to see him decompress a bit, and interact with the likes of Father Time and Ray Palmer.

Constantine is one of my favorite comic characters. But the reason he works is because he's supposed to be the foil, not the norm.
He's the guy that saves the day no matter the consequences.

if it were all like that Wonder Woman I'd have no problem with it, buuuuut:
NOPE
"Hmm. Cover every issue in scantily clad women. Our only hope is to generate as many boners as possible in the readership. Boners equal sales, men!"
Meanwhile, across town, Warren Ellis looks up from penning the next issue of Moon Knight and expectorates nosily onto a pile of promotional New 52 comics.
But then:
and we're back to nope
Yes.
Obviously Harley was a cartoon creation first so it doesn't completely jive but I still find it kinda interesting
