How does the DC Universe service compare to Marvel Unlimited? I know their library is less substantial, but before I try it I’d like to know how much less substantial it actually is.

No idea, really.... not available in Canada and haven't read much past the initial announcements and descriptions. Which made it sound like it was just a handful of series and then eventually they take things off and add new things.

Heroes In Crisis issue 4 was really good. Great character moments + a big twist at the end. You finally see the scope of why it's a crisis.

I think the art in the series might be among my favorite ever in a comic, overall. Each panel is so full of mood, texture and story. Clay Mann is an incredible artist.

The art is fantastic. Dunno about the story. I dig the sanctuary concept, and the confessions leak could be interesting.
No idea where they are going with the murder mystery part though. Also, I missed some very important context because why is Batgirl running around with Harley after she's just murdered a bunch of people? |

Because she thinks she's innocent and can help her find out what really happened. Same for Booster/Blue Beetle.

I really enjoyed Young Justice #1 by Bendis.
It was fun and action-packed. Jinny Hex seems like she will be a really cool character. So glad to see Connor Kent back. Tactile Telekinesis was always a really good superpower imo. Last edited by slik; 01-10-2019 at 08:48 AM. |

How does Conner fit in a universe with a new Superboy already flying around? Superteen?

I read Young Justice..... I was a big fan of the original series, and have the whole run "back at home"....
New one just seems.... I dunno.... in the original series all the characters and their continuity was "defined".... you knew these characters and how they fit into the world.... now there are just so many questions about the timeline/continuity/whatever...... |

I haven't been to the comic shop in a bit so I haven't read the past few Heroes in Crisis, or seen what Bendis has done to Jon Kent...... I hope he hasn't permanently ruined him.....

So far Jon just started puberty and is about the same size as Connor Kent

Also, it's only been 1 issue of YJ. You gotta give it several to see where this going. Can't have all the answers to all the things in issue 1.

I hope he explains why Tim Drake went back to Robin, and also doesn't ignore Tim Drake's whole story arc/character growth from his excellent run in Detective Comics......

Lock Jaw going to be very unhappy
Bendis has changed Jonathan Kent to being 17 years old. In the comics he was gone for 3 weeks but he says he's been gone 7 years bc he got stuck in a black hole before escaping back to the present. |

Rumor is Bendis is doing a Legion of Super-Heroes book and Jonathan Kent needed to be aged so he could leave current DCU to join the Legion in the future and be the same age as the other characters - And rumored Bendis wants Connor Kent as the Super Boy of current DCU in his Young Justice series.

After many "he won't be Batman" rumours, it is finally 100% confirmed that Ben Affleck will not be in Matt Reeves' "The Batman" movie.
Also, it is looking highly likely that James Gunn will not only write, but also direct the Suicide Squad sequel, which is now officially called "The Suicide Squad" DC sure likes adding "The" to their titles of late |

Read through Gail Simone’s Clean Room. So much potential, but it ended prematurely because people are shit and don’t buy good comics.

Finished watching "Titans"..... Dunno how it got good reviews.... overall it is not as big of a mess as Marvel's Inhumans, but it is still pretty "not good".....
I liked the episode with the Doom Patrol, though.... I think the Doom Patrol show could be good.... I hope it comes to Netflix too.... |
