DC to "Rebirth" in June - Part 1

[Sawyer]

[blackout]Conner[/blackout] and [blackout]Bart[/blackout] better be behind those two doors.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Add Cassie and we got a deal.

 

[Gee]

Emotional end for 'Tec's first arc. And a nice tease of *the* wide-line event...

In other news, Tynion IV is now DC exclusive: http://www.newsarama.com/31033-james-tynion-iv-signs-dc-exclusive.html

I dropped Suicide Squad, mostly due to budgets and the whole back-up story situation, but am interested to know if anyone actually got killed off this week like the last issue promised...

It's [BLACKOUT]Boomerang[/BLACKOUT].

 

[X Knight]

I've fallen behind Superman and Action Comics......don't think I have the money ( or shelf space ) to keep up with both bi-monthly titles. I'll wait for the TPBs to come out for those.

Think I'll stick with Supergirl for this first arc, and again, wait for the TPB for future arcs.

Same with Teen Titans - will check it out for a few issues.

I like that RAVEN and Supergirl: Being Super will be mini series with a finite # of issues.....lol.

longterm, I just can't keep up with buying and collecting comics regularly. even though the stories are interesting.

 

[DoomRulz]

I'm a few months behind on Detective, but after hearing about what happened this last issue, I'll probably pick up what I'm missing tonight.

When I got to

Spoiler

Tim's death

literally, the end theme music from Batman: Under The Red Hood was playing in my head, lol

 

[Mad Ones]

Detective was great. [BLACKOUT]Considering I'm rewatching Young Justice for the millionth time I'd be thrilled if they were doing something with that generation. [/BLACKOUT]

Artemis was awesome in RHATO.

Wonder Woman is pretty much perfect. Great art, great tone. [BLACKOUT]Loved that Barbara Minerva made an appearance in the Year One story. [/BLACKOUT]

 

[CaptainWagner]

It's [BLACKOUT]Boomerang[/BLACKOUT].

Well, that stinks. I'm kinda glad I dropped it now...

 

[Victarion]

If I want a supernatural fix - what titles should I be reading? I'm on Suicide Squad and Deathstroke right now.

[blackout]Conner[/blackout] and [blackout]Bart[/blackout] better be behind those two doors.

I actually wouldn't be that surprised. That whole generation seems to be getting the shaft in Rebirth, with Tim being the only to even show up so far.

Seeing as how they're sort of the "middle children" now, what was said about Tim could apply to all of them.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

I want to know who or what Oz is.

He [Blackout]snatches Tim from the jaws of death like some sort of deity and nonchalantly throws him into a cell[/Blackout]. He says some cryptic **** and then leaves again.

Just like in DCU Rebirth when he told Superman he wasn't who he thought he was.

I'm pretty sure he's behind the "Clark Kent" in Action too. By the way, "mild mannered" Clark is a badass. Crawling through vents and beating up rent-a-cops to unravel a conspiracy. I was cracking up LOL.

 

[WolfCypher]

Well, that stinks. I'm kinda glad I dropped it now...

I thought about you when I saw that reveal.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

Yeah, kind of mad [blackout]Captain Boomerang[/blackout] didn't make it. But that [blackout]00Boomerang[/blackout] was almost worth it.

 

[Sorath]

Ive love every minute of Superman and Action comics. Batman and Detective comics are okay. It just now got more interesting. I got say though normally Batman titles are probably some best DC story lines but as of late Superman titles have been fantastic.

I really glad that brought pre-flashpoing superman back. Now just give him back his old costume and I'd be tickled pink.

This whole thing with OZ is just crazy. I have absolutely no idea what he up to. I can't tell if he a good guy or a bad guy. hehe

 

[Babillygunn]

Does anyone else think All Star Batman is horrendous?

Does anyone else think All Star Batman is horrendous?

Yes.

http://www.cbr.com/dc-comics-rebirth-dominates-augusts-direct-market-sales/

[The Shape]

All signs seem to point to Mr. Oz being [BLACKOUT]someone from the Watchmen continuity, likely Ozymandias. [/BLACKOUT]

 

[X Knight]

Finally! A preview for the Raven miniseries.

http://www.newsarama.com/31076-raven-goes-back-to-her-roots-in-raven-1.html

It will be interesting how Raven deals with her aunt's family being so [BLACKOUT]religious and god loving.[/BLACKOUT] And how the family will react when they find out Raven is half demon.

 

[Saint]

Does anyone else think All Star Batman is horrendous?

Nah, it's solid. I'm more interested in where Detective and Batman are going than All-Star, but I like All-Star's crazy roadtrip.

I won't lie, though: I kind of wish Snyder wasn't still on the batbooks, just so that King and Tynion had more room to spread their wings. I hope Snyder's story stays off in it's own little world.

I think

Mr. Oz is Ozymandias.

 

[Broseph44]

As for recent books. I finally caught up today on this weeks and last weeks issues. Detective, Action and Superman continue to be freaking great. They're definitely my favorites.

The Green Lanterns issue was also very good this week. Liked seeing Simon and Jess bonding. The end of the issue was also great with the reveal of

Spoiler

the phantom ring

How was last weeks issue of Hal and the GL's? There was an issue for that last week correct? My shop ran out of copies.

 

[X Knight]

I think

Spoiler

Mr. Oz is Ozymandias.

yeah. I think so, too.

 

[Sawyer]

After the [blackout]Comedian's badge and Manhattan reveal[/blackout] in the Rebirth special, I feel like Mr. Oz being [blackout]Ozymandias[/blackout] is something they'd expect most readers to see coming from a mile away, so I think there's going to be a bit of a bait and switch coming.

That's also very possible. I feel like

Ozymandias

is involved somehow though. But I could still see some sort of twist or bait and switch like you said.
