DC Comics Reboot

[Klaus]

No, this is the first time the Black Razors appeared in the DCU. And seem to count a re-colored Major Force among their number.

Also, it's not ruled out that the Martian Manhunter is a JL member. In Stormwatch #1 he says that some think of him as a hero, and when he has to be a hero he does it with the Justice League.

No problem. Sorry for sounding maybe to antagonizing with my question.

Does this change your opinion on the reboot? I personally miss some good serials and be a bit disappointed the JLA has Cyborg instead of the Martian Manhunter as a member. But I disliked the last JLA anyway and J'onn is at least in another team now (Stormwatch).

Somewhat. Admittedly I am more of a Marvel fan. I really miss the Valiant comics (before being sold) even more.

I like when ALL of the titles work together which is what I thought DC was trying to do.

I gave away a few of the titles I bought to a friend's nephew -- Animal Man (1 & 2), Batman: The Dark Knight, Batwoman (1 & 2), Catwoman, Green Lantern, Men of War, Red Lanterns, and Stormwatch.

I really liked Men of War but I decided on reading Blackhawks instead (still need #2). I made a similar choice between Batwoman and Batgirl. The Green Lantern #1 was interesting but I prefer the lanterns in Green Lantern Corps. Red Lanterns didn't hold my interest at all. New Guardians was more interesting although it is close to the bubble (still need #2).

I might give issue 2 of Batman and Robin a try. The villain in that comic is intriguing. (No spoilers on who it might be!)

Several titles are on the bubble... All-Star Western, Blue Beetle, Deathstroke, Detective Comics, Grifter, and Justice League Dark.

I really want to like Grifter, so I'll give it more time. The same goes for All-Star Western although issue #2 was a bit of a letdown. Deathstroke might be too bloody for me. It and Grifter might fall by the wayside simply because both Resurrection Man and Swamp Thing are too good not to follow.

I went back for Demon Knights and I am glad I did! After two issues, it has me hooked! The Legion titles are interesting, but I'm not sure how long I'm willing to follow them since I know so little about the LoSH.

So far, I've passed on Aquaman; Batwing; Birds of Prey; Captain Atom; DC Universe Presents; The Flash; Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E; The Fury of Firestorm; Green Arrow; Hawk and Dove; I, Vampire; Mister Terrific, O.M.A.C.; The Savage Hawkman; Static Shock; Superboy; Supergirl; Voodoo; and Wonder Woman.

Batgirl has made me interested in Birds of Prey. Justice League has me thinking of trying out The Flash even though it isn't Wally West. Part of me feels I should give Wonder Woman a try, but I'm still not sure.

Anyway, just sharing my thoughts...

I like Teen Titans, so Superboy will stay...

[MENTION=2012]Knightfall[/MENTION] Had you completely passed Aquaman, or did you read the first issue? It was one of my biggest (positive) surprises this far.

Question:
Wasn't in Stormwatch a fight between Apollo and Superman mentioned? Where is it?

It's actually just a Photoshopping done by a fan, hinting that Apollo might be in Superman's league. The two never met.

Sorry... somehow misremembered this. Oops.

But I would still like to see it

I completely passed on it. Aquaman has never been that interesting to me.

As I said, I was very surprised. It has a wonderful ironic elements 'hey aren't you the dude with the organge shirt who talks to fish' and him ordering fish'n'ships in a seafood restaurant. And on the other side is the art very heroic and the storyline pretty dark.

Take a look if you got a chance.

I doubt it'll take long.

I, Vampire is a really good title, it's certainly not Twilight. And the terms of a certain RPG Bennet can be thought of as something like Camarilla, and Mary can be thought of as something like Sabbat.

Wonder Woman under Brian Azzerello's writing has become a mythological horror title about the nasty things the Olympian Gods have been up to, including the infamous scene where Hera decapitates two horses to turn them into Centaurs.

Frankenstein, Agent of SHADE is literally the opposite of Animal Man written by the same writer. It's more of an over the top action title. One thing to note about previous DCU characters is that Ray Palmer is in that title as SHADE's scientific advisor, because the Atom that will be in Justice League is actually Ryan Choi.
