DC's New 52: Reviews and Discussion (Spoilers welcolme and likely)

[Saga]

keep Lobdell the hell away from Nightwing!

 

[OdoWanKenobi]

That would be awful. Dick has been through hell lately. Having Lobdell write him would just be adding insult to injury.

 

[Admiral_Young]

That was only a suggestion on my part. I have no idea what they're planning on doing with Dick right now post Forever Evil. My best guest is the Talon thing still.


My guess is we will get the official announcement of Geoff Johns on "Superman" with possibly John Jr.

Oops looks like Lobdell is getting a weekly/anthology title according to Johnston. Maybe an Earth-2 weekly instead?

 

[Nerys Myk]

I'd love to see a Titans book with Nightwing, Troia, Tempest, Arsenal and Wally.(No codename for him to use, though I guess Impulse is up for grabs ) Of course that would depend on what tact they take with Wally in the upcoming Flash arc. And then there's the fact neither Troia or Tempest exist right now. Oh well, a man can dream.

 

[Admiral_Young]

I'd like to see someone like Kyle Higgins write a "Titans" book. I think he'd be great, and yeah Rich reported the other day about a possible additional weekly book. I wouldn't be surprise if it turned out to be Earth-2.

 

[Saga]

keep Lobdell away from Earth 2!

 

[Hound of UIster]

I'd like Sterling Gates to do a Titan book. He did good work on Vibe and he is Johns protege.

 

[Admiral_Young]

Agreed on Gates.

 

[Allyn Gibson]

My guess is we will get the official announcement of Geoff Johns on "Superman" with possibly John Jr.

Yep.

Romita's New 52 Superman looks like a New God, quite frankly.

 

[Captain Craig]

Will wait for a color version but at first blush I'm not digging all the accent lines on the suit.

 

[Admiral_Young]

Color version including a thumbnail sketch. I'm incredibly excited for this. DC's been sitting on John Jr for awhile now and I'm excited to see what he does with Clark, while Johns' "Action Comics" run is what brought be back to reading the character again.

They're part of the Jim Lee redesign. Romita and Jansen just foreground them more.

 

[Hound of UIster]

Maybe Sterling Gate can go back to Supergirl. Or Superboy even. Both need fixing.

 

[Hound of UIster]

And looks like Nocienti is off of Catwoman. Maybe she is writing Titans next.

 

[JD]

From everything I've seen about her run on Catwoman, that sounds like a good thing.

 

[Mike Farley]

It couldn't be as bad as her Green Arrow.

Forever Evil #5

I still feel this story is being incredibly drawn out. Compare this to how jammed packed with events every issue of Infinite Crisis was. We're five issues in and it feels like the story is finally being introduced. Lex has his band of heroes and there's a sign of a coming invasion of... something.

My theory: since the invasion happened because Power Ring was killed, it's the Earth-3 version of the Guardians of the Galaxy. And rather than just being manipulative dicks, they're completely evil world conquerors there.

I loved the moment where Batman attempts to assert control over Lex and his band of merry men and they just stare at him and Catwoman has to say you're not in charge of anything

 

[Hound of UIster]

It's probably the Anti-Monitor. You remember he is still alive after Blackest Night. I doubt Johns would let him go after spending so much time bringing him back and building him back up.

 

[Mr Light]

Newsarama speculates that if the red skies mean another Crisis and the villain is the Anti-Monitor, then the Hooded Man is the Monitor.
