DC March '09 Previews

[sethcohen]

we can only hope... man is that thing craptastic... what garbage

 

[Darthphere]

What?

 

[SouLeSS]

I got a feeling that they're going to kill off Tim (Robin).

 

[TheCorpulent1]

No big loss, given that he's still dark and angsty and stupid most of the time.

 

[SouLeSS]

Whens the last time you read a book with him in it?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Blue Beetle earlier this month. He wasn't annoying in it, though, so I took it for granted that that was an exception. I'm probably going to end up reading Battle for the Cowl, so I'll see him again there.

 

[SouLeSS]

He hasn't been to emo lately. More of a total badass than anything.

 

[sethcohen]

What?

superman/batman

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I like the current story.

 

[sethcohen]

i gave up on it a year ago... it had gone from idiotic fun with jeph loeb to just idiotic

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I dropped it for a long time as well, but I picked it back up because it had kid versions of the Justice League. That turned out to be a really fun story, and now the power-swap story is pretty fun too.

 

[sethcohen]

which ones got kid versions?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

#51 and 52.

 

[Darthphere]

superman/batman

You're ****ing crazy, that book is gold.

 

[sethcohen]

no i meant, which characters?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh, basically the current JLA. Superman and Batman were obviously the kids who got the most spotlight, though. It's worth reading those two issues just for lil' Batman's origin alone.

 

[sethcohen]

wish it was the old jla

 

[cerealkiller182]

Newsarama has a few solicitations up.

- Okay, so the Teen Titans will be Wonder Girl, Kid Eternity, Red Devil, Blue Beetle, f***ing Bombshell of all people, Static (clearly the guy above Wonder Girl's head), and who else? I'm thinking Miss Martian is the shadow over Kid Eternity's head and I'm hoping the shadow between Wonder Girl and Kid Eternity is Aquagirl. Lorena's a great character that deserves to be revisited. I almost want to read this issue, but I'm worried that McKeever will be as terrible as he was when I last tried his Titans.

I think Aquagirl is a good guess

McKeever has been playing clean up in Teen Titans. I think now that all the characters are pretty much fixed the direction will be better.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It only took him a year.

 

[cerealkiller182]

It was a lot of angst.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Was it ever.

 

[Aristotle]

Wow, people suddenly forgave McKeever and realized that what I've been saying for months might be true? Today must be April 1.

 

[SouLeSS]

Thank ****ing god this skin is back.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Wow, people suddenly forgave McKeever and realized that what I've been saying for months might be true? Today must be April 1.

Why should he be sorry? Wasnt it Beechen who screwed them up? I've liked most if not all of McKeevers stuff

So seven characters I don't care about at all, one character I probably should care about but don't, and one character I used to care about but don't. Yawn.
