None of that sounds very interesting to me either



Fair enough I hope you like it hippie_hunter

I dug Annihilation and their Transformers comicbooks have been neat but them writing this is not reason enough for me to buy it

But I hope you enjoy it :up:

Typically I would have passed on Wonder Woman and the Furies, but when they announced DnA on the book, well that was a guarantee for me to buy it. You've really gotta try really hard not to get me to buy a DnA book.....like when Marvel put them on ****ing Iron Man/Thor! Seriously who was asking for that :cmad:
 
And again all are pretty much there due to the character's mess that came during all that trauma, the very same trauama that Morrison used and had Batman go thru demon slaying and meditation to killing off the corruption inside him to get back in his prime health.
Yeah, there was trauma, but it still doesn't change the fact that Johns made Batman an utterly unlikeable dick.

Morrison's Batman, not so much a dick.

How so? I don't think it's that bad even tho it was really silly how Finch went with "the amulet made him do it" when he had Bruce go all crazy on Penquin. Batman Inc is pretty self contained aswell outside writers just now writing how Batman is in Japan. :p
Have you seen anyone reference to what is going on with Batman: The Dark Knight. And while Batman, Inc. is self-contained, like any good comic should, it still sets the path of which the Batman titles are taking.
 
It doesn't help Johns' case that the Batman that will be used for this story at least based on the implications of the released art will be another relentless and unapologetic dick. Right in line with his depictions in IC and GL, I mean having Barry strapped to an electric chair with Batman pulling the switch? LOL

We'll see though.

But this is a Batman through an altered timeline. I'll let that pass.

Well I don't read that garbage and read every other major bat book on the market pretty much and I have yet to see anything addressing anything that I HAVEN'T read yet. So yeah it does seem that no other bat book at this point is even acknowledging TDK.

I hope when there is the eventual "oh **** Flash is right things are indeed wonky" realization by this particular Batman that he does indeed fall in line more with the current team playing zen detective and Johns shuts everybody up. I truly truly do.

Awwwww why no love for Thor hippie_hunter

What did you think of Guardians of the Galaxy

It probably works this way due to the series being lol coming when ever Finch can get an issue done, which is only going to be 3 whole issues and then thats it. :p

PS. Cain how are you doing btw?! :) Enjoying Batman Inc and other stuff i hope? :) Excited for some outrageous Aquaman ongoing?! :)
 
Everyone loves Batman Inc what is there not to love

It has fun stories fab guest stars and great art

And Lord Death Man :up:

Hey Drz long time no see bro, you don't even show up by the bat boards anymore lol

@ the bold: that is insanely funny. Have they announced a followup creative team? cause I doubt they'll just can the title altogether considering the sales. Depending on who takes over I may add it the pull list for a couple of months out of curiosity. I just didn't like the writing on issue 1 at all so to hell with Finch.

Inc. has been solid. The flashback in the last issue was pure gold. Oh and that ending with Bruce rescuing the blind kids and about to put Sombrero through the shock of his life actually made me jump in the air like a lunatic cause of it's awesomeness.

To be honest the bat family line in general has been firing on all cylinders to me. Miller's Batgirl is just phenomenal which is crazy to say considering I was never a Steph fan. Nicieza has helped Red Robin find it's footing.

The last issue of B&R was the first since Grant left that I found overall enjoyable. No hamfisted out of character dialogues by Tomasi unlike the first 2 issues of the arc just a lot of fun. Even if he could've elaborated a bit more on the White Knight's origins the Joker scene alone was worth the read.

Looking forward to Winick's return of Jason arc. The man has finally become more than decent thanks to Generation Lost and his solid work on Power Girl. For the first time in his entire writing career I'm finally genuinely impressed. So to see him write the current Jason with Guillem March on the art is too tempting to pass up.

The best of all is 'tec though I mean wow Snyder is just knocking it out of the park every single month. It's the one bat book I wait for with bated breath every month. It's tied up there with Sweet Tooth, Booster Gold and Jonah Hex as my favorite monthly on the market today.

Yes I'm quite glad that Arthur is getting another series. I'm also happy that it has a high profile team of creators on it so maybe it will actually stand a chance at lasting a healthy amount of time. I just hope that Johns does NOT turn it into Mera and The Aqua Family feat. Arthur/Orin like Brightest Day has implied either. This is the chance to show the rest of the comic book reading world why he is such an amazing character who should be right up there with Bats & Supes in terms of recognizability and following. Like what he did with Hal, so I hope he does not blow it.

Yep most of the Bat titles are really entertaining right now. Not a fan of Dark Knight but i am liking most of the others :up:

And the Batwoman ongoing starts after Flashpoint :atp: its going to be the best comic book ever

Agree about Batgirl I did not think I would like it but Stephs series has been really fun

Funny, thats how i see you! Keep sharing your brave and bold episode thoughts! :) Comic forum section yeah it's really quiet down there sadly.

Finch's 1st arc is 6 issues long, so after thats done we should see what happens with the creative team but Jay Fabok is gonna draw the last 3 issues of the 1st arc.

Did you notice the clues that the original Batwoman might be Scorpiana? Added with the Shakespeare's Othello comparison with Batman Inc's conclusion, will we see Bruce go all sad if the bad guy murders the original Batwoman?

Yeah those two books are in good hands and Steph being in Batman Inc might boost her fanbase.

The White Knight was a great new villain and kept with the David Lynch meets Batman theme, but yeah really excited for Jason Todd teaming up with Gotham's Dynamic DUo.

Yeah Snyder's work is getting more and more exciting, especially with James Gordon Junior meeting up with the Joker and the big story arc Snyder has planned up with Gates of Gotham and whatnot.

Yep.:word:
 
Awwwww why no love for Thor hippie_hunter
I love Thor, I buy Thor. I buy Invincible Iron Man. I have no desire to read a Thor/Iron Man book. Or any of the other unnecessary Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America books that are plaguing the market.

What did you think of Guardians of the Galaxy
Loooooooooooooooooooooove it! Like I said, you literally have to try and not get me to buy books written by DnA.
 
I really dug it too until the last few issues. Did not like what they did with Thanos hated what they did to poor Phyla and was not keen on how the series ended

But I really dig most of their comic books too :up:
 
Scott Snyder talks Project Superman! Flashpoint tie-in!

He pretty much confirms Cyborg and Lex Luthor having small involvements one way or another here while also talking about how exciting Geoff Johns Flashpoint is and how iconic characters have change drastically even tho apparently the changes are small, such as Superman not being raised by the Kents.

Dan Abnett talks about Wonder Woman and Lois Lane Flashpoint tie-ins!

Both take place in London wheres Diana's story is more flashback related and Lois Lane story takes on the "present Flashpoint" world timeline. Aquaman and Diana are at war with each other and Lois Lane and the Resistance want to get rid of the Amazons from Great Britain. In Flashpoint world the amazons are like the amazons of the myth, fierce and brutal and this is due to them being at constant wars and never really having years of peace and utopia, we'll also get invisible jets!
 
Well, at least they acknowledge that the DCU Amazons aren't like that, thought they basically are nowadays, anyway.
 
I really hope that after Odyssey the Amazons are more like the ones from the Marston Perez and Jiminez comic books and less like the bloodthirsty lunatics in Flashpoint
 
I love Thor, I buy Thor. I buy Invincible Iron Man. I have no desire to read a Thor/Iron Man book. Or any of the other unnecessary Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America books that are plaguing the market.
You didn't miss much.
 
Road To Flashpoint has been pretty interesting so far, I hope the actual event is a good one.
 
I don't have much interest in the main event, but think I will have to end up getting that tie-in. Shade the Changing man and Amethyst? Win.
 
Yep that is how I am feeling right now Sailor V :up:

I dont like the sound of Flashpoint but i like the sound of a mini series about Shade and Amethyst

Amethyst needs more love :hrt:
 
Hmm, this or Marvel's Fear Itself... this or Marvel's Fear Itself... I think a crazy time travel/time distortion story with Flash sounds more fun than this Fear thing Marvel's pushing.
