I used to be into this series, but suddenly with this volume, it's much more "superhero like" and that's not really what I come to W+D for, I guess? As with most of my Image pull, I've kinda lost interest in it.

Indeed, especially for Image.
I was a big fan, to me it came across as the Marvel-ization of Superman that the New 52 iteration tried and failed to be (post-Morrison). I'm also very excited about the idea of Yang being able to craft his own corner of the DCU in China.
I'm very into the concept of this run…we'll see how it all comes together, but I think the swapping of story focus between the odd and even numbered issues remains the most clever way of handling the bi-weekly publishing schedule.
It was a sales success, which really can't be denied. It's why Hitch is the writer of the main Justice League title now. I don't disagree about DC You's marketing foibles, but it's difficult to support a big line of books pitched towards "quirky" storytelling when there's no guarantee the audience is big enough to…
From what I gather, Dad Superman is from an actual different part of the multiverse, whereas this is the New 52 version of red-head Wally West (if he was really Pre-Flashpoint Wally, why is he wearing the Kid Flash get-up?). Neither is really the pre-Flashpoint version of their characters, but they both bring the New…
Very excited to read that new Arcudi BPRD issue that I just got a pdf of.
TBH, pretty excited to read Batman in a different voice. I liked Snyder's run fine, but it was time for new blood on those books and I'm really excited to see how high the ceiling gets here.
I asked this in a previous article a bit too late to get any responses, but is anyone reading Providence by Alan Moore? I hated Neonomicon with a passion, but the critical raves for this one have me curious. I've heard things like "Best Moore since From Hell".
Honestly, I know a lot of people who didn't read him because he was "kind of an asshole".
I laugh whenever somebody refers to Batgirl of Burnside as some great success. It did well enough pre-Convergence, but afterwards, sales on that book tanked and frankly so did its storytelling. I dunno if it was Stewart jumping off of layouts to go do Fight Club 2 or whatever, but that title became painfully aimless…
Exactly, Omega Men was a masterpiece, and Midnighter was pretty darn nifty too. They sold like crap. The only success of DC You was JLA really.
Big fan, with the exception of the really misfiring Green Lanterns and the overwritten Detective Comics (which I'm still hoping will turn it around for me).
Eh…I like it okay. It's the only HB book I've read of the line so far, but it hasn't quite come together for me yet and I'm worried that Shaner just can't keep a monthly schedule (next month is already a fill in)
I also did not care for Detective Comics, but Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Arrow are my favorites. I'm enjoying Action and The Flash fairly well, even if they require a little bit of "well, that's Big Two superhero writing for ya…"
Since I enjoyed Ben Percy's Green Arrow so much from this Rebirth relaunch, I'm going to head back and read his stuff from the DC You run. Ya'll feel free to talk me out of it if for some reason it's nowhere near as good, I liked the free 8 page preview okay in a sort of True Detective vein.
Bryan Singer can complete the unholy trifecta.
Honestly, almost every Rebirth issue, Green Arrow aside, has felt like a placeholder that was written after the first actual issues. Given how strong many of the ongoing first issues have been, I dunno why they went this route other than to buy their artists more time.
He still has the gun as of Green Lanterns Rebirth.
Over the top, Bob Haney Batman is the best Batman.
