The studio knew what it was doing when it opened this in early February. This thing is gonna flop hard with audiences.

It's easily their sloppiest film since The Ladykillers. It has an interesting, if maybe undercooked, core. But the need to jump from exhausting genre parody to genre parody, and not really effectively tie the film's two warring interests together, creates a problem. It's also just not very funny, I can't believe that…

Not gonna lie, I'll probably try out every one of these…Future Quest looks more exciting than 90% of DC's current line. The others? Well, I'm just kinda curious more than anything. Mark Russell did a hell of a job on Prez, I'd be interested in what he could do in this setting.

True, but when did popularity ever = quality?

I wouldn't be surprised if they double-ship just to get to that endpoint. I'm hearing that its just a soft Marvel-style relauch anyway, so I imagine little will be lost continuity-wise.

Omega Men, much like Doctor Fate, Martian Manhunter and Constantine: The Hellblazer (and my much missed JLU title) is edited by Andy Khouri.

They'll all be making it to 52 if the relaunch is happening in June.

How about this upcoming DC relaunch in June? Apparently, they'll be relaunching their line in a Marvel-style soft reboot to take advantage of their film and television divisions.

Moffat leaving Who is fine, he's had a long run and it's time to switch things up. Chibnall coming on board is TERRIBLE news though. I don't think he's written one thing I've enjoyed, and while some may have issues with Moffat as a showrunner, its undeniable that his pre-Who scripts were great.

Prophet
Casanova
Wicked + Divine
Island (just because I never know what I'm gonna get)

This is a film that definitely was better in my memory than reality. It's got a great core (tying the myth of Ziggy Stardust and the glam era to Oscar Wilde and aliens) but it just kinda plods along with this pseudo Citizen Kane structure, and sequences that don't quite tie together coherently. I think Haynes' I'M NOT…

No, that's a Gerry Conway story that came years later. There's 9 issues of Animal Man vol 1 that haven't been collected: http://sequart.org/continui…

Jerry Prosser wrote the final issues of Animal Man after Jamie Delano wrapped up his run. I think he did like 8 or 9 before the book was cancelled. I'm hoping DC collects it so I'll have the whole trade set.

Did you ever make it to Prosser or were you waiting for a trade of that?

That's not necessarily a worry for me though, I prefer when they push against the comfort zone of a character a bit. I mean, jeez…by comparison, how many damn quests in space/time/other dimensions could Swamp Thing really go in?

It can't have as many lows as this Veitch stuff, I mean Delano is at least a competent writer in my experience. We'll see how it goes though!

Putting Captain Marvel in an authoritarian role like this just as her new series launches seems like a big miscalculation.

I think you'd be fine…I tapped out by issue 6 or so. Hopping right over to Ennis is easily done (though admittedly Constantine does little for me, and I find that what they were doing in those issues was better approached in Preacher, which I'm currently in the middle of finally reading)

Last week, I embarked on reading the Animal Man comics that came after Grant Morrison.

It's…okay…the first arc is indeed terrific, but then he immediately runs out of gas.
