Because it was requested AND it was getting a little long in the tooth anyway. If you're asking why it was requested, your guess is as good as mine.Maybe this is the question that no-one should ask, but I guess the worst that can happen is "I'm not telling you"; why was the old one closed (I saw the requests asking for it, but why)?

I would go with Batman: Mad Love as your introduction since it's the de-facto origin story of Harley.The Batman : Harley Quinn paperback, would you guys say this is a good introduction to the character of Harley, are the issues good at all? I've been curious about this for a while and The cover is just gorgeus.
Okay, thanks.Because it was requested AND it was getting a little long in the tooth anyway. If you're asking why it was requested, your guess is as good as mine.
Couldn't they just 'unwatch' it?I assume the OP kept getting notifications for every new post in that thread.
You're still on your Mongul 'kick' then?Dammit, I didn't know this was a Mongul thing. I've been avoiding Future State, but I guess I'll have to check this one out.
Well I ran out of Mongul stories to read, so I'm no longer technically on the "kick," but I guess it's safe to say I'm just a sucker for that big yellow mook.You're still on your Mongul 'kick' then?![]()
Picked up Superman: Worlds at War #2 and the Superman: House of El books today.
The House of El book was pretty great as it shows that Superman ultimately succeeds. There's this cool Arthurian/Game of Thrones vibe going on that I really thought worked, even if I'm incredibly picky with my sword & sorcery.
Worlds at War was cool, even if it left me with a lot of questions regarding how we ended up there and what happened between the end of this story and the beginning of House of El.
Regardless, I'd very much love a mini-series that expanded on the Worlds at War concept with Mikel Janin on art duties. I really loved the Edgar Rice Burroughs/John Carter visuals of a depowered Superman fighting in a colosseum in a really cool pulp-inspired outfit. His speech to Mongul at the end of the book is just too freakin' good to NOT expound upon. I wanna see it.
Oh s*** oh **** oh ****. Kara so rarely gets the attention of A-list talent. Can’t wait!!It's been announced that Tom King and Bilquis Evely will be doin an 8-part Supergirl series starting in June.
I've always though Evely was a great artist waiting for the right high profile book to cut loose on. I get a lot of Al Williamson/old school pulp vibes from her work and I think King's scripts should give her plenty to work with. Hopefully she's a new addition to King's artist circle.
It seems a bit outside of King's comfort zone but if he can capture Kara's essence the same way he managed to nail Superman in Up In the Sky, this should be something just as special.
I find it funny that Karas comeback is labeled as SuperGIRL: The Woman of Tomorrow or whatever. All because they dont want to upgrade her to SuperWOMAN. At least use Karen and give her the Superwoman title if ya not going to use it officially.
Other than the fantastic art by Jiminez, I have not really been feeling Tynion's recent work on Batman. His run started strong, but has petered out IMO. Joker War was a disappointment and I'm not crazy about characters like Clown Hunter and Ghostmaker.
DidTalk about over-powered!Darkseid really just kill the Quintessence and Spectre in particular?
Anyone reading Spencer's ASM run? After being dismissive of it, after trying it, I love it. The Slott stuff while I give credit for pushing things like Superior and other concepts, I just never liked the way he wrote. It got grating. He was on that series for too long. I just picked up those comics out of habit. Now I'm actually loving the stories that are going on as Spencer writes them. I'm only on issue 26 but it feels like classic Spider-Man, but Spencer is still telling quality stories and doing fresh things with them and the characters. Sure Peter isn't running a corporation (which is okay) but I like Spencer's writing a lot better.
