End of preview

Still waiting for something to happen that shows me this is a King book desu

Goddman Grundy is one-note. Outside of Seven Soldiers which I forget if he even actually appears in personally, every Grundy story is essentially interchangeable.

>>84189024
No, he's not in Seven Soldiers.

>>84188833
Is Matt Banning the one doing the coloring? He must be some kind of genius to make Finch's pencils look this good.

>>84189045

Not from what I'm seeing

>>84189024
You're thinking of Frankenstein senpai.

>>84189045
Bellaire. It doesn't look good but it doesn't look like trash either, that's an achievement I guess.

Has Grundy appeared in this earth before this?

Wait, in forever evil story Grundy was able to rotten anything that he touch isn´t it? Why he is just a brainless bulk again? I thing I missed something

>>84189263
>Why he is just a brainless bulk again?
To be fair, this is just a preview, we might get smething else from him yet.

shit art.

>>84189212

No.

Finch's art looks... surprisingly not bad.

>>84188895
>Variant actually reflecting issue
huh

>>84189263

You're probably thinking of Earth 2, right?

>>84189154

No Seven Soldiers tied into Grundy's origin with Slaughter Swamp stuff

IS it bad that I already like Gotham and Gotham Girl? Especially since Gotham will probably die a painful death?

>>84188870
King is just so horribly, egregiously bad.

Jesus, Finch is fine. Just because he drew Wonder Woman the past couple of years with his wife as the writer he's all of a sudden a shit artist with newfags.

>>84189441
He's mediocre compared to Capullo desu

For the first time, a batbook was so bad, we actually felt bad for the author.

>>84188887
>Batman just lying in wait meditating

God damn King I love you so much. Im so damn happy someone that finally gets Batman is back on the book.

>>84189263
that was earth 2

>>84189455
Most are mediocre compared to Capullo desu. Finch is somewhere between terrible and mediocre.

This is some 90's Image-tier "The fifty thousand made up muscles on each of my limbs all have their own made up muscles" shit.

>>84189488
Capullo is really overrated

>>84189551
What are you even fucking talking about. This panel >>84188887
Is more Batman than Bruce has been in 5 years.

Is this what Snyder did? Introduce all these casuals to his terrible version of Bruce and now they all think that's the "real" Batman?

>>84189585
>replying to obvious trolls
I really feel bad for Batman fans, King threads always attract trolls and Damifag.

>>84189263
Not sure, but Rebirth is in a lot of ways a walkback to Pre-Flashpoint characters.

The Atom's pretty much now his post-crisis self, for instance. Wouldn't be surprised if this Grundy's a similar thing.

>>84189513
Damifag please.

>>84189578
Do tell us your favorite artists senpai.

>>84189455

Agreed.

I LOVE this costume. The greatest Bat Belt ever designed which justifies the absence in underoos. The purple on the cape sounds awful on paper but is perfect in execution, creating a GOAT black / gray / purple combo that likes amazing and gives a shout out to the original design. The symbol is debatable but I think it's look good for a temporary alt.

It's really a bummer that it looks so awful when Finch draws it

>>84188833
Who are the new Ambiguously Gay Duo looking guys?

>>84189734
Gotham and Gotham Girl
We don't know what their deal is other than they think they can help Gotham and get proven wrong because they can't handle it

>>84189513
I have no idea what you're even trying to say

>>84188908
Sounds like King is channeling Miller. Between this interrogation and the whole "good death" I'm reading Batman in Peter Weller's voice instead of Conroy

I'd love to see examples in detail.

>>84189024
Read some Infinity Inc. after he becomes Jade's bodyguard.

King really is shitting the bed isn't he?

It's not even the "how long til /co/ turns on him?" meme it's just the general tone of the discussions I've seen. I've yet to see him really get praised, it's all just haters and defenders against haters. This first arc better deliver.

>>84189212
>>84189383
It's hard to say right now. Remember that this takes place after Rebirth which is still happening, so we don't know what earth it is, or what memories people have yet.

“So it's legit for somebody to say, 'I didn't like it.

Wow, the fags against King are coming out in force today. It's almost like these retards have never read any of his work.

>>84188840
Dude the covers are only tickling my nuts that much more.

Why must he tease us so?

Though I'm buying all five.

So, what's the deal with those Gothams?

>>84188840

Awesome, but the slime looks like boogers.

>>84190128
That because for every King discussion (or discussion on this stupid website in general), for every one post with a legitimate opinion, there's ten that are just bait or shitposting.

Why does Damifag have such a tenuous (at best) grasp of the English language? I know they're like 12 or whatever, but I'm pretty sure by the time you're in 6th grade you're expected to be able to read and write. Also the random punctuation everywhere in their posts really confuses me.

>>84190282
We're literally only 1 purely King-written book into the series and you're already passing that kind of judgement?

Oh wait, this is 4chan, nevermind.

>>84190282
Give the dude some time to get his story going. I'm sure it will be a great run. I didn't think the first issue was all that, but I'm not gonna pass judgement til issue 5 or 6.

>>84189785
Hmm yes, I find it very shallow and pendantic

>>84190187
They haven't. Damifag in particular hates King's work because it's too difficult for her to read. She said he writes for "30-year olds".

>>84188855
>no panty shot
Finch please

>>84190310
Besides the blatant samefaggning, what you say might actually be the most annoying part of the Damifag.

>>84190310
He's a 12-year-old kid from a third world country.

Really loving this. Anyone else digging Detective comics? I never knew Tynion could be so good

I refuse to believe that Gotham and Gotham Girl are a coupla never-seen-before heroes, not coming as this is the first story arc of the Rebirth event. These characters are some old characters that Nu52 wiped from reality but have now returned like Wally West. Nobody remembers who they are so they took on these new identities.

I'm not familiar enough with DC minutia and obscure characters to make a good guess as to who they are, however. DC has had tons of Superman pastiches which these two clearly are, what Supes rip-offs were wiped away that could be used here?

I really dug this preview.

>>84190296
>>84190347
>>84190380

I like how Damifag thinks that literally everyone else in the thread is the same person because no one agrees with them. Also why do they keep spelling it "samefrage"? It can't be autocorrect because that's not a word.

>>84190450
Kek stop being so retarded. They are just a way for King to convey that Batman is just a man dealing with issues of gods. Thats Kings entire premise for the arc.

>>84190480
Eh, Damifag spams the shit out of Tech as well. We'll probably have to suffer through him in Nightwing threads too.

>>84190480
This. King was fine when he was writing lesser-known critical darlings. Batman always brings out the shitposters, even when Morrison was on it.

>>84190435
I'm floored at how much I ended up liking 'Tec. It's miles better than anything else Tynion has done and is the best Tim or Kate have been written since 2010.

It's been pretty cool but what's there to say?

>>84190279
>buttmad Damianfags
It's only one buttmad Damianfags. As a Damianfag my problem is more with DC/Snyder than King. But I'll wait till September before passing any judgement on it. Till then I wait with bated breath.

>>84188870
I love the look on Grundys face, like he continued talking just to spite them.

>>84190512
Technically 'Tec and Nightwing are Batman threads.

>>84190600
Why? They have comic lines that are aimed at kids.

>>84188887

Ya what kid wants to see batman show up two new heroes and take down Solomon Grundy like a badass.

Never understood why /co/ likes to overhype Capullo. I like his art and sure, it's more unique than Finch's, but he's hardly that amazing.

>>84190703
Maybe I was being too subtle. What exactly about this comic is not appropriate for all ages?

>>84190703
>appropriate for ALL ages
so a 1 year old should be able to crawl up to the counter, pull a fiver out of his diaper, and say "give me the latest constantine, fuckwad" and then not be able to read it because hes fucking 1 year old?

>>84190726
This thread is really going off the rails. Out of everyone 4 posts I'm completely not understanding at least 1

Why is one stupid faggot samefagging so hard in this thread. You are pathetic.

>>84190747
You target that group with movies and cartoons, and then when they get older they'll start buying comics, I know that's what happened with me and BTAS.

>>84190837
And after cancer Jane we're getting Lois "my powers are killing me" Lane and beautiful black basketball player Deadman who's dying unless he's possessing people.
From all gimmicks, they take dumbest.

>>84189441
He is fine when he gets to work with a lot of shadows that hide his shitty stuff

And he was already criticized back when he drew The Dark Knight at the beggining of the New 52

>>84190572
I'm pretty sure that's what I had read when they first announced them.

>>84190826
It's Damifag, he does this in literally every bat thread. He's really easy to spot because his posts are riddled with grammatical errors, misspellings, and '..' in random places.

Kids don't buy comics in the first place. If they're lucky, they can whine pathetically enough to get their parents to buy them two-three titles max.
That's why companies have more luck selling them toys and cartoons.

Only things like Batman 66 where they are its own thing are for all ages

>>84191068
Depends on what you allow your kids to read? But I think they're generally PG-13 now?

So why exactly isn't the Damifag permabanned yet?

She's just Scrapper but even more spammy.

We still have Sheriff for quality King so it's all good.

>>84191596
It reads to me like he's cooperating with them. I think the way King set up his Batman, he'd be willing to try teaming up if it benefitted Gotham instead of antagonizing them for his ego.

Yeah, plus he's always been good on backgrounds in my opinion.

>>84193561
Finch even said in an interview released today that he has noted the problems of his own work, such as a limited range of facial expressions, and has made a lot of effort to improve his stuff

You clearly aren't from a large city. That is the glow from the lights reflecting off the buildings not the sky.

>>84194484
But the sky is black/blue there, it's the city lights that make things red/orange

>>84194516
But it's not about real cities. Gotham has mostly been depicted as a more gothic city.

>>84194546
It's more about it being orange washed. There's a lot of orange in her coloring.
