DC Comics Thread

Yeah I think I’m sticking to JL, Action Comics, Nightwing, Batman and Robin, Outsiders, Teen Titans and Swamp Thing for now. If you try Stormwatch let us know how it is.

Lol I remembered that Cyborg and Firestorm were the newest characters on Hanna Barbara’s Super Powers cartoon. I guess there’s some precedence for Cyborg starting out on Justice League, other than Smallville.

Not sure if he’s even going to join the JL right away and they might just be retelling his origin. The current JL story is a flashback story and the book will eventually take place in current time like the other books. Maybe Cyborg will join then. Hmm.

I was curious. Does DC ever touch upon the afterlife in their comics?

AYO · September 5, 2011, 5:34am

Justice League was interesting, not much there other than macho throw my super dick around moments between the boys but eh. I liked it for what it was.

My 52 pull list that I can remember: Detective Comics, Batman, Nightwing, Green Arrow, JL, Wonder Woman, Swamp Thing, Flash, the Demon one.

Might get GL and JLI but dunno.

Started my catch up and I loved Superman Beyond 0, I haven’t raed much DeFalco, but I liked this from him. If there are more issues I hope they’ll be as good as this one.

Previewfor Dark Knigt #1 is out. Looks promising and the art is amazing.

Ok so I just read DC’s preview of the new 52 and I gotta ask… Why so many Batman titles? There’s like four just for Bruce Wayne. I’m not really a DC reader so I don’t know how these titles are different from one another.

Anyway there are a handful I’m interested in. Good time to get into DC.

DA_GAME · September 6, 2011, 7:30am

Any of you guys plan on checking ouit Action Comics #1 ? I may pick that up Wednesday along with Detective Comics #1 also

Tizoc · September 6, 2011, 10:47am

It’s by Morrison, and seems to be the ONLY book Morrison is writing, I’d be crazy to miss up on that book =p

BENSKI · September 6, 2011, 8:02pm

It’s because everyone loves Batman and his books sell is all. The same reason Marvel puts Wolverine and Spider-Man in everything.

Batman won our character fan poll a while back. Hell people are talking about Batman in the Marvel thread.

Mainly picking up Batman and Robin because I loved Tomasi on this book and Nightwing before. Aside from that waiting for Morrison’s Batman Inc. to return and wrap up. Kind of tired of Tony Daniel and not familiar with the other Bat writers.

Funny I was thinking if we would have a character popularity poll near the end of this year =P
So Sano, think one could be made?

Sano · September 6, 2011, 11:23pm

Yeah sure mid November just like the last one, in and around election day.

AYO · September 7, 2011, 8:34am

Character poll rules, mostly because I helped create it…I think.

Also don’t hate on Batman, you can never get enough Batman seriously. If you complain, you are a commie.

Sano · September 7, 2011, 3:13pm

Yeah it was your idea, in response to IGN’s horrible top 100 comic book characters list. Our list was better. No Garfield.

Oh yeah lol, where we bitched for a week then made our own. Our list kicked ass, I look forward to this year so I can advocate Batman and Daken.

Sensei_Rouzu · September 8, 2011, 12:03am

Don’t rag on Garfield. Me and him are cool. Only comic character I know of that loves food as much as me.

BENSKI · September 8, 2011, 2:01am

Im def up for more batman titles. So far Ive picked AC,DC, Batwing, Batgirl and storwatch are all pretty good so far. JLI was meh.

NoiNoiPinoy · September 8, 2011, 9:43am

Think the Wonder Woman relaunch will be good?

BENSKI · September 8, 2011, 6:21pm
