Anyone read nightwing other den me and sano
Aww come on, I try to be pretty mellow in this thread. Something about the jeph loeb topic just rankles me though.
hmm…I guess I have hated on fables and Bru in the past too…
considering the release schedule has so-far been akin to ASBR (we are on what, issue #2 now?) I would say not any time soon.
I’ve listed plenty of batman yarns I enjoy throughout this thread, several of which you can pick out from the previous page alone. I just don’t enjoy the overuse of villains and other cameos to disguise weak story that is Hush/LH/DV’s raison de tre. Add to that the bloatedness of said weak story combined with unsatisfying conclusions, and in LH/DV’s case totally tread-over territory in the first place and you have a recipe for bat-mediocrity.
EDIT: Ack! newsarama saying Johns is leavin Teen Titans. story crashed the website so I havent read it yet…
Didio answers 20 questions regarding the link above. MAJOR 52 SPOILERS.
I read that and a lot of other comics. I read manga also so I’m entangled in 100 storylines at all times. eh, my brain hurts.
This brings a tear to my eye.
All I got to say, DC done got McKeever but they put the dude from Robin on Titans?
In better news, Annihilation kicked ass and Annihilus FOREVER!
Also Firestorm is underrated.
annihilation 6 kicked ass. goddamn that final battle was brutal
Noooooooo. The Robin writer is taking over?.. I don’t know how I feel about that yet. I was picking up Robin after OYL, but I dropped it a few issues ago. I wonder who the artist is going to be, I loved Daniels art on TT. I am saddened.
What’s wrong with the Robin writer? 
Sucks to see Johns leave Titans…but I can suffice with the other DC projects he’s on.
If TT becomes a snoozer, I’m dropping it off my monthly listings.
Johns interview about leaving TT:

It spoils a little if you’re not caught up on Titans.
Man, I wish he was staying on, with the ideas he talks about in this interview.
Such as
for P.Gorath cause he’s probably not up to speed on the current Titans
[details=Spoiler]Bringing the Titans of Tomorrow back to this time? With a grown Kid Devil (Red Devil) and Miss Martian (Miss Martian Manhunter)? I really hope Beechen writes this story.
Also, he talks about losing both Superboy and Kid Flash… I guess its safe to assume that Flash isn’t coming back to TT at the end of Guggenheim’s first Flash arc.[/details]
The rest of the books I read this week -
Annihilation - PICK OF THE WEEK! Nova was just beastly! Oh and -
Annihilation
Spoiler
Thanos and Death finally hooked up! So even though he died he got a happy ending, hooray!
Teen Titans - Nightwing was in it! Even if it was just one page he was written well and you could tell he had skills. Johns just owns! Titans East brought up a few surprises. Johns will be missed…
X-Men - What was up with the Sentinel girl bending over like that all the time? If Humberto Ramos doesn’t watch out he’ll be known as a fan service artist like Frank Cho ha ha! Great pencils as always on this book.
52 - Lex does it again and again, he just rules! They should rename this book Lexy Poo! :tup:
Spawn Adventures - Waaaay to wordy for me especially if this is something that is DCAU inspired, check any of the DCAU comics out (including The Batman and TT Go!) and it’s not as wordy as this book. Writer needs to step back sometimes and let the art tell the story. And what was up with the typos? This comic was on the internet, put into a comic and they still didn’t fix the typos, what was that about? I really dug the artwork though and the plot wasn’t too bad overall. Oh and Spawn used the green beams and not those lame-o chains so I’m happy about that at least. More please!
Ms. Marvel Special - …very WTF but nice artwork and a fun read. Still… WTF??? At the end of the day looks like Ms. Marvel has a LUDICROUSLY overpowered villain, and maybe a possible future relationship with Wonder Man - win some lose some in the super hero game…
Silent War - Hmmm. Kind of on the fence on this one and I’m not sure if I will continue buying it. Didn’t really wow me. It was funny when Black Bolt put his wife Medusa in check though.
Regarding the spoiler Chairhome posted: OMG!! Fucking bullshit. He was gonna bring them back? That would have been awesome. I’ll find out the answer in the article right now. clicks
That was a damn good interview. It really hit close to home for me. Johns is the man. Although I wasn’t one of the more hardcore fans for OYL, I’ll admit that it was alright. Not as good as his first issues. But, with the introduction of Zatara, that’s when the book started to grow on me. Especially Kid Devil.
And that Beechen guy better do good. I have yet to read anything he’s written, but, he better step his game up. He has a lot to live upto.
BTW, I read Flash#8 last night. It wasn’t that bad. It was probably the ONLY decent issue written. And by decent, I mean ‘not all that different from the crap before it’. But, Val and Bart. Not bad. I guess. And now Bart is gonna be a forensics cop like good ol’ Barry.
Just read Teen Titans 43. Pretty nice. Finally explains why Batgirl is the way she is after OYL. Next issue will be awesome.
Ew, Teen Titans.
just ordered seven soldiers vol. 4, Ion vol. 1 and the latest busiek Superman trade
