I've heard Brian Bendis/super cool artist Nick Derington's Batman story is really fun in the Wal*Mart DC book...
Hoping when that's all done they'll release it as one-shot or something. |

Still struggling to get into Scott Snyder's Justice League...I thought the new 'Drowned Earth' storyline would be it's own thing and it started really big but then the end of most recent issue tied it to
SPOILER: show I feel like Snyder has all these big, bombastic ideas but never gives them time to land or flesh out. The idea of Earth being invaded by all the sea gods of various planets and all the various sea gods can control the oceans on any planet throughout the entire galaxy is cool but it won't probably be expanded upon much I fear. |

Meh, never liked Green Lantern.
A superhero you can defeat with sunflowers or lemons. |

Who cares, he's a fruitcake anyway. |

The original Green Lantern was weak against wood. In the New 52 he was reimagined as a homosexual. Correlation?

Wait, wasn't Wonder Women powerless against bondage? As in, when a MAN tied her up.

Yeah.... Wonder Woman and her creator were all sorts of messed up.
I hope in Doomsday Clock, Green Lantern Alan Scott comes back and is no longer a homosexual, because I liked the characters of his kids. One of whom was a homosexual, I guess. |

Dunno, they keep trying to push Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes in comics/cartoons but it never seems to stick.

If they frame it as Ted Kord training a new Blue Beetle in New Mexico, have some fun with the comically homicidal AI - lil bit Ant-Man, lil bit Venom - don't go ham with any overt immigration messaging...
It can work. |

Ted Kord was in the newest Blue Beetle comic series in a mentor role..... didn't read it, though.... was canceled anyways.

DC is on fire this week.
Doomsday Clock #8 - Fantastic. They are really nailing this sequel to 'The Watchmen'. Superman comes across perfectly written here and the twist at the end is a jaw dropper. Shazam #1 - Really good. This is a great concept. Honors the past and resets for the future, in the way Geoff Johns did for Green Lantern years ago. Very big things ahead for this, loads of potential. Batman #60 - Excellent art and another big twist ending. One that no one saw coming. Justice League #13 - Delves into why Luthor trusts (?) The Joker. The Joker written near perfect here. The entire Cosmos is up for grabs, but what's the punchline, indeed. The Green Lantern #2 - Grant Morrison's take on Green Lantern continues with trippy art and some really cool new Lanterns. This new focus of GL as space police is a strong approach, and the villains seem like they are warming up to be a Cosmos level threat. Good week for DC. |

They need to make up for DCEU.
I bet Marvel comics suck these days. |

From what I've heard a lot of Marvel comics apparently do suck now.

Marvel's absolute addiction to time travel/alternate reality stories has been their biggest crutch the last 10 years.
Remember Age of Apocalypse? How it was a huge deal? or the Ultimate Universe? All these alternate universes that actually meant something? They don't mean anything these days. Too fucking many. They killed the mystique of it. |

That said, even if the major titles like Avengers, X-men, and Spider-man aren't great theres always something out there worth reading. I've been reading the new Venom comic lately and its been really good.

I did hear Incredible Hulk has a horror feel to it now, which sounds decent

I started reading that and yeah, it's been very good. It's not traditional horror. To me more specific, it's closer to the classic pulp horror comics. Tales from the Crypt type of stuff.
Also started reading Heroes in Crisis. Really fucking dumb so far. SPOILER: show |

I like Heroes in Crisis but I'm a fan of Tom King, so I'm curious to see where it goes. He can pack a punch emotionally, so I'm assuming he's setting things up.

It's not as good as Doomsday Clock though, or the stuff Bendis is doing with both Action Comics and Superman. Bendis really is knocking Supes out of the park.

The character moments are good. I liked the little confessionals. And Booster acting so weird had me intrigued. But Harley stuff just had me cringing too much.

They literally had to make excuses for everyone. Boosters shields weren't working. Wally was in shock (which is bullshit. Wally West has been in the superhero game long enough where that shouldn't happen. He's a pro and he's seen plenty of death.) And that whole scene with the trinity was just nonsense when you factor in the super speed of superan and wonder woman.
