I've been reading every Rebirth book for the past two months…

He's exclusive to DC now, so I'm thinking so? Unless its in a "finishing up" period like The Vision.

I think he's a bit past his prime these days, but during DC's last creative peak, he was definitely co-writing one of the better comics of that era (Legion Lost/The Legion). I'm not sure if the split from Andy Lanning is the problem, or if his take on Aquaman is just that dull. It's basically the Geoff Johns take with…

Though with Market Share by Dollars, the higher prices on Marvel comics + the sheer number of comics they produce are a major factor. Marvel shipped a 1/3 more comics than DC, so the fact that DC won out is almost a minor miracle, really.

What happened is, Marvel went out of their way to engender creator loyalty over character loyalty, and well…once those creators leave, what are you left with? Lots of Jeff Lemire and Charles Soule written comics.

I thought Kill Or Be Killed was the worst first issue we've gotten from Brubaker and Phillips since the Incognito days, maybe worse than that. This was borderline Mark Millar stuff.

My review is at The Beat. I hated it, and I'm really down about WB/DC's future prospects at this point.

Honestly, this movie makes Batman v Superman look like Avengers. It's stupid, misogynistic, and beside Smith, Robbie, and Davis, the rest of the cast isn't much to write home about (El Diablo and Killer Croc are horrible, while Leto is dialed up to about 11).

Going back and reading the previous Percy run at the onset of DC You, you can sorta see him growing as a comics writer to get to this point. He's definitely got a nice social-concern streak, which has been sorely missing from Ollie's tales for some time.

I thought Batgirl was actively bad, with awful dialogue and borderline offensive content. Oh good, she's going to join an MMA thing next? Super……

I liked that first arc a good deal. But he and Kuder (and frankly Yang and Romita) got drug through too much crossover business, and we barely got a chance to see what either could REALLY do with the character that wasn't editorial mandated. Easily one of DC's bigger missed opportunities, wasting those two creative…

I mean, we say that, but Wicked + Divine is being adapted for tv currently.

No, there's real buzz. I mean, it's nominated for a Best Series Eisner after all.

Klaus was the only book of theirs I picked up, and I kinda was whatever about it. But been meaning to check out Giant Days given the buzz.

Think I'm gonna take a break this weekend from SDCC planning and re-read all of that. It and Southern Bastards are the only books I remain interested in from their line.

The problem with Marvel Legendary is that it's a pain in the ass to set up.

Yep, I certainly feel that way about stuff like Descender, Trees, Bitch Planet, etc etc…I'm going to give Lazarus another whirl soon. That was one that was really working for me, but I got caught up on that mostly text issue, put it down and never got back to it.

Victims of their own success really. Once you've got the bigger names in comics working for you, anything new you roll out is either from less well-regarded talent or from new creators altogether. Though Image rarely seems to want to take the risk on the latter.

That's been my biggest criticism with their line. I don't blame anybody for wanting that Kirkman-style windfall, especially in the not so lucrative field of comics…but, that's just not my cuppa joe.

New Super-Man: I adored this book, it's the kind of Yang title I was hoping he would get when coming over to DC and it's the best possible Marvel-ized version of Superman. I'm very into where this is going.
