Comic Book Thread: Combined for greatness

[Krandor]

I just read the main series and didn't have any issues. Can't speak for the quality of the event though.

[Kaslo]

I hear Rouge's Rebellion is worthwhile

[Delirium]

brohams if i want to read forever evil do i need to read the million tie-ins or can i just pummel the title issues?

Read the wikipedia entry and save yourself from the pain.

[tyven]

Oh dear

[Vagrant]

Yeah skip the tie-ins except for Rogue's if you really want to read the series. Same with all those Future's End tie ins they did a couple months ago.

[tyven]

Man this was not good but it was so funny when captain cold said he wished he could fly.

Also I thought dick was supposed to die. I remember seeing so much shit about it. Was that another series?

Man new 52 is so bad, plz go back to the old days. Black Adam and Green Lantern look so stupid

[Krandor]

Forever Evil combined with the creative shakeup on GL titles prior almost totally killed DC for me. Earth 2 and Worlds Finest (before the now WW/Batman version) has been the only thing I've read with any regularity for awhile now.

The Batwoman snafu definitely didn't help matters either.

This last arc in Batman with Joker has been good...if weird as shit.

[Thoronas]

Forgive the casual fan question but I don't follow DC at all anymore. What was "The Batwoman snafu"?

Not mentioned there is how jarring the creative change was. The entire series up to that point had all been the same big storyline, which just ends instantly only to get a hastily written annual a few months later trying to tie up the storylines.

I'm guessing he's talking about the shitstorm over how Batwoman couldn't get gay married. It got interpreted by alot of people as it being because she was a lesbian when it probably had more to do with the fact that no characters in DC are allowed to get married atm.

[Thoronas]

Thanks for the links and info.

[Delirium]

Cant have lesbian marriages, can get turned into a vampire by a lesbian vampire.

HOLY SHIT NEW AVENGERS.

Axis was good but again, HOLY SHIT NEW AVENGERS. Last panel is orgasmic.

[Kaslo]

Dear lord, all the Eva Bell!

[grantlogan]

It was so good. I thought Cap was gonna make a comeback and stomp their shit. Using that alternate Hulk was genius. Then Reed said, Nigga I'm a genius.

[Krandor]

It's crazy that there's still 4/5 months of this from Hickman before Secret Wars starts.

[grantlogan]

We still have the coming together of the Illuminati/Avengers/SHIELDvengers, the actions of the Strike force, Strange and the Black Priests VS. the Builders and their unknown leader, and Doom's plans. Plus the plans of the Rogue planet in sync with Earth. Oh and we can't forget the Cabal!

Question for those reading Injustice:

Spoiler: show

I know we don't have the full picture yet, but Batman's plan was to trap Superman in a dream where his life wasn't ruined by the Joker -- is this going to do anything but make him rage once he gets out?

I am expecting that Bruce thinks this will make Clark think about his actions more? We obviously know it doesn't end well if you've played the game. I liked the "dad supes" outfit from this issue, reddit is about to mutiny over it. lol
