The issue is, those books that "don't count" never sell as well. And frankly, prequel books fall into that category.

New 52 Superman was interesting idea that I just don't think ever really worked. Morrison did his best with a wretchedly designed character, but I do think his initial run was one of the under-appreciated efforts of the relaunch. After that, subsequent writers didn't do much else beyond "Superman as an asshole",…

Presumably, Mxyzptlk does all but call him by name in this week's issue. Though, the Wonder Woman change will surely be attributed to Ares, which will dovetail perfectly with June's issue and the movie release.

Green Lanterns has indeed gotten better. I wouldn't call it a top of the stack read or anything, but starting with the Phantom Lantern arc, he's done some, at times, pretty fun, escapist work.

Indeed, now it's like he never even existed - which is really crazy given how much of a backbone of the New 52 he was, then again, they're basically doing the same thing with Wonder Woman, just very slowly, but the end point is no different.

I don't think they're on Marvel Unlimited, unless they were added very recently.

Mother Panic - beyond a nice Michael Cho variant, this series is really just not working at all. I'm trying to give it a full arc before dropping out, but my patience is really being tested. The new artist, Shawn Crystal, somehow makes the book even less readable - as much of the mood of the previous issues has…

Hey, can we talk about the changes to Superman here? Cause holy crap…They brought back his pre-Flashpoint history…I'm not really sure how that works with the New 52 stuff, with this version of the character having always existed in this iteration of the universe. Clearly each Superman comic since 2011 couldn't have…

Starting in June, it looks like Mark Russell will be penning the Cave Carson back-ups, not sure if that's a one-shot deal or what…oh please, let it be the return of Prez.

It's not unfortunately. A very shapeless series that still hasn't really carved out its own identity or a reason to exist beyond "Batwoman with F-bombs".

True, but it did graduate a couple of the better DC You creators to high profile runs (Orlando, King, Seeley, Williams), bring back some surprise talents (Rucka, Priest), and add in some fresh blood (Humphries, Williamson), and pulled off the monumental task of actually fixing Superman with a creator who turned out to…

I guess it's possible the X-Men line will be stronger, but the creator line-up doesn't inspire much confidence - it's pretty much the same old Marvel hats that have been the backbone of the company post Secret Wars.

He's a big practitioner of elliptical storytelling, where quite a few of the gaps are left for you to postulate on. I like that, because comic writers so often resort to hand-holding and overwhelming exposition. It's a nice change of pace, and nobody really writes like him, except for his obvious imitators.

I'm really not understanding what a lot of people are seeing in The Wildstorm. I mean, I get it, Ellis is back where he's done some of his signature work….but holy fuck is it ever boring. Indistinguishable talking heads going at it for pages at a time.

Ryan Murphy's involvement with American Crime Story puts him way above Scott Buck.

Child porn accusations.

I think the hope is that Yang's bookstore cred will move the collected editions.

Before LOGAN, he directed the only X-Men movie I like, and I think Fox really screwed the pooch when they didn't find a way to continue working with him on that relaunch. This would make me happy for WB's prospects, between all the good signs coming out of Aquaman and hiring Matt Reeves to take on Batman.

well, soon it'll be a little more overt, most likely, depending on how much a certain mystery is addressed.

the best…comic book…show…on tv???
