DC to "Rebirth" in June - Part 1

[blackout]Clark/Wally reunion[/blackout] in Titans should be interesting.

Mitch Gerads on Batman too.

I'm happy that Green Lanterns is holding up so well!! It's actually outselling Hal Jordan's book with the other established Lanterns I think this proves that its the concept that sells and not the lead character or the person wearing the ring! Essentially you can rotate the 6 GL's and get very similar sales

I'm sad that Constantine and New Super-Man are at the lower end of the DC books but it is what it is! I'm glad to see Blue Beetle and Cyborg holding up though! Jaime and Victor are characters with tons of potential! It also seems Teen Titans just barely missed the top 10, bummer.

Rebirth has been great so far!

John Cassaday serving old school Hellblazer-looking covers.

 

[Gee]

Man, all that redacted text in the JL vs SS solicits...

In other recent news, Snyder and Capullo to team-up again for a DC event next summer. Also, the [BLACKOUT]Watchmen[/BLACKOUT] storyline slightly progresses in this week's Batman.

 

[X Knight]

love the Raven #5 cover!!

[Sawyer]

This....

Color me intrigued.

Tom King's Batman has been surprisingly mediocre. But today's issue was really good, by and far his best thus far.

Agreed. I haven't really liked this title much until today's issue. Hoping this arc is a good one.

 

[nyyarod]

I haven't really liked the Batman rebirth either. That reveal at the end though

Aquaman was good once more. Trinity was weird and I have no idea wtf is going on in JL

 

[Gee]

The new Batman arc is definitely off to a great start. I loved [BLACKOUT]Kite Man[/BLACKOUT] and [BLACKOUT]Condiment King[/BLACKOUT]'s cameos. Also, that [BLACKOUT]Saturn Girl/LoSH[/BLACKOUT] tease was neat.

Trinity was pretty good too, especially with the Pa/Clark stuff.

 

[BlueLanternKal]

Finally, Cyborg is hitting it's stride!

 

[Motown Marvel]

Justice League has been atrocious. Especially the last two issues.

I'm loving Trinity.

Personally I find the "Rebirth" titles way better than most new52 I read, in particular the GL world and Aquaman.
Those are the only titles I still buy, and I was going to quit. I thought I would test the Rebirth title a bit and I'm digging it.
I thought GL books were well written, the action is moving a bit more forward, things are happening, there's Sinestro with Warworld, that's a huge new status quo, Guy's prisoner of Sinestro, Hal is back as GL, that's all good.
And despite reluctance to Green lanterns, I actually foundit very well written. the tension and the fear were all real for Jessica and Simon. For once, I took all my time to read because I thought the character were really in trouble and since their minds and their fears was so well explored I wanted to read it slow to get it all.
Same with Aquaman,I thought, that for once, the problems were real, all the characters had to solve the problem in more than one bookand without necessarily punchingtheir way through. Aquaman's the exception here.
I'm digging it so far, I hope it continue that way for a long time. I feel almost as excited as when G.Johns wasbringingnew cool things on the table.

 

[Babillygunn]

100% agree on Aquaman. It's been my favorite title in Rebirth. I didn't think the Geoff Johns run could be topped, but it is. And Hal and the GLC has done the unthinkable and has made me a fan of Guy Gardner

*reads Flash spoilers*

What's the spoilers?

 

[Motown Marvel]

So, Rebirth and the Flash seem to show the New 52 universe was the Post-Crisis/Pre-Flashpoint universe but manipulated by stolen time and whatever else. But the situation with a Superman from two different universes seems to show New 52 and Post-Crisis/Pre-Flashpoint were different universes.

Am I missing something here?

 

[Gee]

What's the spoilers?

Spoiler

Jay Garrick. And also a mention of a "manipulator"; definitely referring to Dr. Manhattan.

I think the going theory is that since Superman, Lois and Wally were off-world when the changes were made, the universe/Dr. Manhattan created new versions of them to take their place.

Nice

 

[Sawyer]

[blackout]Pre-New 52 Jay[/blackout], at that.

That'd be weak, but...whatever gets the job done, I suppose.

 

[Kirmit]

The flash had a great story but really bad artwork imo.

I agree, I loved the story but that art was just... weird.

I can't lie, this kills a lot of my enthusiasm for the title. I had really been hoping to see the likes of Vibe, Black Lightening, Firestorm and most of all Martian Manhunter show up. These three are just "meh". Especially putting Batman in ANOTHER book.
