It's not worth it.

**noblemountain** · 2016-02-13 08:17

Fuck him, Endgame has been good.

Start to finish it's a great Batman story. It's worth a read first if you're skeptical or just hate everything in general like Grantlogan there.

So, A-Force is really fun. Plus more Nico is always welcome

**Kaslo** · 2016-02-17 13:45

Oh wow, that twist at the end of Standoff at Pleasant Hill caught me off guard

DC Comics Rebirth info

**Krandor** · 2016-02-18 18:37

I like Detective Comics and Action Comics going back to their original numbering, but otherwise I still don't see a reason to read almost anything DC is publishing.

Only Superman American Alien and Snyder's Batman stuff has been readable for me lately.

**noblemountain** · 2016-02-18 21:16

Then you haven't been reading much. Just to be blunt. Batman Endgame was awesome. This new Superman series has been a really good superman story stuck within kind of a shitty one, but overall worth it. Omega Men has been fantastic. Superman: Lois and Clark has been great. Grayson has been really good as well. Midnighter was great, though getting cancelled now. (sales were shit) I wasn't a big fan of any of the Green Lantern directions lately, but Sinestro has been a fun book. American Alien as you said has been a lot of fun for me. There's a lot of good shit out there, you just have to actually read it and stop listening to the noise of the negative zone.

edit: also, coming up with Rebirth, I'm very excited about Tom King rumored to be on a bat book. He is the man currently. Everything he touches has been great. Vision is probably my favorite book going right now and I'm sad he'll be leaving Marvel for that DC exclusive contract, but if that means he's doing a big bi-monthly, I'll be ok with it. All the books dropping to 2.99 is a great thing as well. Marvel has been creeping into the 4.99 range way too much lately for my liking.

I'm sure I'll catch up with alot of DC's stuff at some point, but Convergence was so fucking bad it really soured me on almost everything they've been putting out.

**Zealot** · 2016-02-19 08:52

Convergence was a great idea with terrible execution. The New 52 eliminated invalidated everything I'd grown up reading, and not just in DC's normal "reboot every 10 years" way. With Convergence they made it so every possibility was now back on the table and they could tell fresh stories about any era in DC history. Great concept. Every issue of the story that got us there was awful.

**Delirium** · 2016-02-19 10:09

The thing about Rebirth is that it is still the same heads(Lee, DiDio, Johns), same editors, most of the same writers and artists too. So if you liked it before, you will probably like it going forward and vice-versa. I don't see who this is supposed to attract except maybe some mysterious lapsed fan base that they believe to be large.

**Zealot** · 2016-02-19 10:17

I'm excited that we're getting close to Action Comics #1,000.

Only 998,999 issues until DC One Million!

**Krandor** · 2016-02-19 10:32

I guess DC sees the sales numbers Marvel gets each time they relaunch all their titles @#1, while failing to notice that those numbers aren't really sustained past the first couple issues. Of course those relaunches generally come with a change in the teams involved, which isn't happening here for alot of stuff.

**Zealot** · 2016-02-23 12:19

I'm all caught up on Kieron Gillen's Uber, because I am apparently a masochist who hates joy and hope.

**Delirium** · 2016-02-24 18:22

Such a good comics week: Saga, Black Magick, Venus, Sunstone, Wayward, and more.

**Kaslo** · 2016-02-24 21:23

The diamond truck that delivers to my LCS got in a wreck so my comics are delayed :/

**Cantih** · 2016-03-03 14:04

context bubba, most of the world thinks of the AIM avengers as bad guys, SHIELD itself isn't sure, hence sending Hawkeye to their team to spy.
