DC Comics Thread

Some book store chains are pulling DC comics off the shelves.

Picked up Batman and Robin/Batgirl/Green Lantern so far this week.

Spoiler

Batman anr Robin #2 - I like how Bruce is really worried of how Damian will turn out. H even said he’s afraid of dying and leaving his son without his guidance. Lol at all Alfred telling bruce how to talk to his son.
Fights were short, even showed damian restraining himself. But in the end we see Damian crushing a Bat with his hands and alfred in the dark witnessing it. Wonder this is going.

Green Lantern #2 - Amazing read. Really shows how Sinestro is top tier with his contructs. Hal being his servant is lol.

Batgirl #2 - We left off with Barbara frozen when mirror pointed a gun at her. Reminded her when joker shot her. I liked the fight scenes really shows that shes just “started” as being a hero again. The way she was researching stuff on a regular laptop or computer might
aswell confirm that oracle never happened :frowning: Had a good time reading it will pick up #3.

Sounds like foolishness on DC’s part. The holidays are coming up.

Yeah seems like the only winner out of this ordeal will be Amazon.

Rugal not sure if you’re aware but DC made a similar listing for the new titles.

Man I need to drop some more comics, not even getting my full stuff this week, came out to $53. To be fair, Marvel and DC really loaded this fucking week up but still, damn. Edit this with stuff I got in a bit.

EDIT, DC Titles for the week:

Batman and Robin #2
Batgirl #2
Legion Lost #2
Men of War #2
Deathstroke #2
Demon Knights #2
Resurrection Man #2
Green Lantern #2
My Greatest Adventure #1 of 6
The Shade #1 of 12

For real^^ For some reason they decided, hey lets drop eveything today…ffs…I still have a couple of stuff in my bin, ill pick it up sometime this week. Damn you dc/marvel.

Read B&R, Batgirl, and Resurrection Man so far. Everything was good, but not as I guess powerful as their first issues, just decent in between arc issues.

I think they revealed Mirror’s identity way to quickly though, the mystery and allure is all gone now and he’s just another face behind a mask. I would have preferred if the resolution was unclear on him and built up overtime and revealed later down the road for some more impact. But maybe I am over thinking this since I enjoyed the villain so much.

Damien is confusing me. I knew he was violent and all but he never really exhibited killer tendencies with Dick unless I was just blind to it. Sure he tortured a fat woman and beat Joker down but wouldn’t we all do that? Also bruce did like a 180 in personalty. He went from cold, distant, and impatient with Damien to now trying to be more sympathetic and like Dick. Not a bad thing, just feels very forced.

Read GL and stuff later.

DC books I enjoyed last week:
OMAC #2; Seriously get better inking, the art looks like scribbles sometimes lol, but man HOLY SHIT AT THE ENDING.

Penguin #1:
Thought it was OK.

Huntress #1:
Nice art, but the word the first girl said when she sees Huntress is incorrect; it should’ve been ‘Humdu li’lah’, which is arabic for 'thank goodness’
Overall a good issue IMO.

Green Lantern was solid, as expected. I think they are pushing Sinestro a little to hard though. I love the guy, Sin Corps for life, but he’s making Hal look incompetent in every way when Hal you know…routinely takes him down. Also he talks about making his sector better instead of playing superhero. But didn’t Sinestro enslave his people under a dictatorship with an iron grip, how is that better?

Still, they make a good buddy cop pairing and the scene where Sinestro is thanked he seemed genuinely taken back by it.

Been lazy with my reading, will plow through them tonight during my Friday the 13th marathon.

I just read the first couple issues of Batwing and I have to say I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. I don’t even remember the character from Batman Inc. but I enjoyed the representation of modern Africa in a comic book. DC said they want their universe to be more timely and stuff like this makes it seem so.

GL #2:
Felt the whole earth stuff was filler and un-needed seeing how they got back to what the ending of #1 was about at the end of this issue. Still enjoyed it I guess, but these 2 better get to doing Sinestro’s plan already.
@AYO regarding Sinestro’s dictatorship: Retcon I guess?

Batman & Robin #2:
Great issue IMO, but who’s this Morgan fellow?

Deathstroke #2:
Meh, just Slade killing people every panel and other page.

Demon Knights #2:
Spectacular, hope this book lives on long enough for Conrell to write good stories in.

Suicide Squad #2:
Nice issue, but I hope they don’t continue with the whole ‘inocennt’/not as crazy and/or evil guy’ routine El Diablo had in this issue.
Waller’s still a bitch though~

Yeah I guess so, like everyone magically forgot Sinestro took his entire planet over and they basically let him lol.

Deathstroke was all about dem kills, I still liked it but I might drop after the next issue if it doesn’t shape up. I really hated that the cover has this interesting if somewhat dumb new villain and he gets completely owned in three panels. What’s the point of advertising him?

Looks like Batman adopted Dick Grayson when he was 16 now. Don’t have a problem with it. Usual sliding time scale stuff to shave years off the universe.

I dont know if this is spoiler worthy, but ill put them up anyways, because i just learned how to use them haha. It’s concerning DC covers for January and a battle between two “heroes” early next year.

covers

[details=Spoiler]I saw this the other day because I really enjoy looking at cover art for my favorite books but it seems we are getting a Frankenstien vs. OMAC fight in January.

Also “All Star Western”'s is Jonah in a Cave with Bats. Kinda cool[/details]

EDIT: Also is there any special reason Kate Kane is whiter than paper?

PIcked up:
Justice League #2 - Really enjoyed reading this. Superman is finally a badass. Pretty amazing feel seeing all these big names meeting each other the first time. Barry and Hals comedic relief is awesome aswell.
Nightwing #2 - just good, didnt really wow me, like how JL did.
Batman #2 - HIstory of gotham story, Loved the art. #2 is most def picking up imo.
Wonder Woman#2 - It was meh to me. Didnt really enjoy all the things happened in this chapter.
Red Hood and the Outlaws #2 - I really like this series. We get to know alot of Todd’s past. Pretty sick that after allt he training he got from Batman he got MORE training after that.

Hot damn that was a bad ass Batman in Batman this week! :nunchuck:

There is a particular Batman story/comic/novel that involves Batman as the leader of a city(I believe its Gotham)and Joker is either dead or on Batman’s side. Its very weird because I believe that this Batman is evil and there is more than one.The main Batman had an earpiece he used to communicate as he has it on the whole comic. he does have a suit different than his regular gun black costume. I read this comic a few years back. Any help is appreciated

Dark Knight Strikes Again?

Yeah very interested to see what’s gonna happen next, I hate waiting >_>

Also picked up Catwoman #2 despite #1 still not having arrived in the mail and I think anyone who didn’t like the 1st is not gonna like this one. Probably gonna give it 1 or 2 more issues to get good otherwise I’ll drop it

@VagrantLest I don’t think its the Dark Knight Strikes again cause Joker or someone who looks like him is still alive in that story
