DC Relaunching Everything? - Part 4

[CConn]

I know it's not comprehensive and it only has about 5000 votes from the small subset of comic readers who goes to CBR, but man, this has gotta be kind of depressing on some level to DC:

What's really depressing is that even that core group of comic readers aren't smart enough to buy probably awesome books like Demon Knights or Animal Man over JL #1.

 

[Mystirious]

Everyone should buy Demon Knights

Unless they don't want to see Vandal Savage fight a fire breathing dinosaur

And if someone doesn't want to see that their just dead inside

 

[Franklin Richards]

Oh, so I'm the bad guy for wanting to read about the Big 6 getting together for the first time in 20 years?

Not really. When DC is offering really good creative teams on their A-list books: Action Comics, Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Justice League, Batgirl, etc. it's pretty obvious that most readers are going to go with those books over characters that they have little exposure to. Money is tight nowadays, and personally if had to limit my comic buying habits more, I certainly would choose Batman over Animal Man or Justice League over Demon Knights.

I'm not buying Demon Knights...........runs away and hides........

 

[Mystirious]

I'll forgive you just this once

Oh, so I'm the bad guy for wanting to read about the Big 6 getting together for the first time in 20 years?

Of course not Franklin. I'mma check out the new Justice League comic book title too

But you should check out Demon Knights as well. It'll be crazy fun

 

[Franklin Richards]

I presume it's Etrigan. Anyone else in the mag?

 

[X Knight]

I'll forgive you just this once

of course.......if Raven were the Demon Knight.......then it would be a different story......I'd pick up the book in a heartbeat.........

 

[Mystirious]

Oh you t:

I presume it's Etrigan. Anyone else in the mag?

Madame Xanadu and Vandal Savage are going to appear as well as a new Shining Knight and two new characters one of whom is an Amazon

It looks frakking

 

[Franklin Richards]

I do like Shining Knight. I want Vandal Savage to be imprisoned in a small box for the rest of his lifespan.

 

[X Knight]

Oh you t:

 

[Mystirious]

I do like Shining Knight. I want Vandal Savage to be imprisoned in a small box for the rest of his lifespan.

The new Shining Knight looks like a bad ass sexy lady

And Etrigan is looking cool.

Vandal Savage is normally a colossal dbag but apparently he's a reluctant hero at this point in his life

 

[Mystirious]

I Raven too. She was neat in the Teen Titans cartoon

 

[X Knight]

I Raven too. She was neat in the Teen Titans cartoon

yep!!

I wonder if she's still getting her own TV series.........

anyways.......hope she shows up in the new DCU soon........

and, I hope her costume looks more like her "One Year Later" costume......

 

[Mystirious]

Yep her costume in the one year later stories looked pretty fab. I quite liked her white outfit from the old Titans series too

And I wouldn't mind her having an outfit like the one in the animated series either

 

[Lord]

What i don't like is the reboot's Harley Quinn costume

 

[Kevin]

Well this was just dull and ran for too long and if I wasn't already buying the book, I'd be disgusted.

I've made a decision about Green Arrow. I know it's incredibly petty and superficial, but I'm not going to buy Green Arrow's comic purely because he no longer has a vandyke.

I'm bugged by how much it is inspired by Smallville's version it seems.

 

[Saint]

Yes--and like Smallville's miserable iteration, it's ugly.

 

[Cain]

I'm bugged by how much it is inspired by Smallville's version it seems.

Also Ultimate Hawkeye. It really sucks cause I really do like Ollie and haven't bought his book in years cause of the stupidity the title was dragged through before and after turning it into an Ollie and Dinah book. So I was looking forward to getting back into GA but now I'll just wait it out and see how the book evolves.

Looking at that CBR link I still don't get how people are even willing to buy anything written by Dan D'Idiot after his horrid work on The Outsiders. Give me I, Vampire, Demon Knights and Men of War over that new O.M.A.C. series any day. I don't care if Giffen is involved Danny D is as bad a writer as he has been EIC.

i dont blame you in the least.

 

[Mystirious]

That is completely understandable

What i don't like is the reboot's Harley Quinn costume

I don't mind it too much. Its pretty sexy

I don't think it really suits Harley though. I miss her old outfit

 

[Lord]

Her new costume is not pratical at all, being sexy doesn't make it good, if she jumped her breast would jump from her outfit too.
In least the one from the games (where they based the new costume from) worked

 

[RoughNTumble]

stormwatch looks way more epic than I thought it would be from the cover >_>
