Well...I'm gonna keep this short and sweet for me...
DC's just released an image for World's Fines, starring Power Girl and Huntress, which is a lynchpin of DC's "Second Wave" of comics in their New 52 relaunch.
Here: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=36931
Fans have been clamoring for a return of fan fave Power Girl since the relaunch happened in September but now the...
Now I know DC meant folks maybe younger than me who missed out on comics but why not go WAY younger and commit to 10 comics that are all ages that start fresh and are told in the "One and Done" format.
What do they have to lose really? They just committed to 52 books and I know they will have to axe 10 of those if they want to keep the quality up so...
I lack sock puppets so here goes this.
The Contents of Comic Books are not real. They are just stuff written on stuff to talk about stuff.
Some cool people like stuff.
Marvel Comics is a company in the business of making comic books. I have already...
If all the pals of Batman had their own searchlight signals, the skies over Gotham would look like Vegas!
Batwing by Judd Winnick and Ben Oliver
TF: I’m glad later press releases narrowed this down to a fictional city in the Congo rather than “The Batman of Africa.” I hear that place is pretty big.
DM: I don’t give a shit. The “Press” can kiss my ass for pretending they care if Africa is a big or small place at all. In one fucking month, Batman can have his ass in Gotham, Metropolis, Vegas,...
The Batman Titles:
Batman by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo
Detective Comics by Tony Daniel
Batman and Robin by Peter Tomasi and Pat Gleason
Batman the Dark Knight by David Finch and Jay Fabok
DM: Aren’t you avoiding the bat books?
TF: Folks, I have to come clean here. In the past 12 months the only DC titles I’ve paid attention to have been T.H.U.N.D.E.R., Hex, and Whatever Grant Morrison Is Doing.
DM: Well then you missed you some good Batman issues. They took place in a book called Batman and Robin and they...
DC UNIVERSE PRESENTS
Written by Paul Jenkins
Art by Bernard Chang
TF: I happen to like anthologies, but have any sold well at all in the past 30 years? OK, technically DC’s Wednesday Comics was an anthology...
DM: Hell no and this book is another sign that someone at DC is asleep at the switch. The one thing DC didn’t really need in the last year was a title at $7.99. If you’re gonna do DC Comics Presents...
CAPTAIN ATOM
Written by JT Krul
Art by Freddie Williams II
TF: Somebody’s gone all “Dr. Manhattan” in more ways than one.
DM: Well to be fair, Dr. Manhattan was all Captain Atom.
TF: Captain Atom was a sleeper hit in the 80s because he was just an ordinary, relatable guy who suddenly got cosmic super powers. Putting this “isolated,” “slowly losing his humanity” stuff on him makes it “Dr. Manhattan: The...
MISTER TERRIFIC
Written by Eric Wallace
Art by Roger Robinson
TF: The success or failure of this comic depends on one thing: world-building.
DM: Well that’s the same for everyone. Shit, Green Arrow only has 2 villains and one of those is an archer.
TF: Mr. Terrific has been the anchor of the Justice Society for more than a decade. What he doesn’t have is his own mythos the way DC’s franchise players have. They need to...
JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL
Written by Dan Jurgens
Art by Aaron Lopresti
TF: Did T.H.U.N.D.E.R. get canceled already?
DM: Well were they IN the DCU? If not then they can wait. Besides someone went and signed an exclusive across town.
TF: Oh they were in the DCU. I’m just not seeing the point of their purchasing those characters. Unless it was spite against the late John Carbonaro. I could believe that one.
DM:...
