Why was Darkseid War so shitty? I can't think of a single

Darkseid War: Green Lantern
That Manapul drawn issue with Scott and Barda

Has any major war plotline ever worked?

>>86705178
>Orlando Shazam
>King GL
>Batman never leaving his chair
>Superman demanding food

But yeah, the actual "war" was pretty eh' Anti Monitor v Darkseid was laughably short

>>86705207
There were a lot of good scenes and moments but as a whole it was shitty

>>86705207
Gotta love how the antimonitor was defeated in one single panel.

Tie-ins were fun as fuck even if I bet those fourteen Shazamfags REEEEEEEEEEEEEEED because not muh SHAZAM powers.

>>86705178
You just posted them tho

>>86705398
>14 Shazam fags
You mean those 6 Captain Marvel fags who can't let it go

>>86705178
I liked Green Lantern and Shazam.

>>86705178
wait, no god power for wondy?

>>86705178
It is really clear how little shits Johns gave after the first 4 or 5 issues since presumably they knew by then that DCYou was a failure and they needed to get rid of it

>>86705398
What?
It was the oposite, they were happy most of Johns introduced changes were gone. I remember i pointed out they were hypocrites in the thread, they were happy the gods were back and didnt care about Billy being a jerk.

The storytimes were great tho, some people pretending to be hyped, the negativity greater and greater as the issues were storytimed, by the time of the last 2 one of the guys doing the storytime was openly calling his own storytime garbage and some Johnsfags got triggered hard.

>>86705200
Secret Wars

>>86705207
>>Scott and Barda
and even that was broke up

>>86705178
Some of these covers make great wallpapers for phones.

Your argument is already refuted OP.

>>86705705
you mean Hickman's? Cause that one had a fantastic set up for a crap event

>>86705705
This.
And it stands out because it got a follow up series, and then another, and then it ended with the actual Reboot.

>>86705178
Tie-ins were awesome, expecially Shazam and GL. The main event was kinda good overall for my taste, but rushed as fuck in the second half. Many of the shitty game-changing plotpoint would have been way better with more issues for breathing them in.

No fucking fantastic, he has the style of Finch & Jim Lee without almost any of their flaws.
One of the best Wonder Woman artist & designers ever.

>Darkseid being menacing again for the first time in the new 52 for the most part.

Yes it was very menacing when Darkseid showed up just to be one shotted like a bitch in his own so called war.

>Good battles & fight scenes.

The battles and fight scenes were anticlimactic as fuck and the worst thing about this so called "war."

>>86705802
>>Good Diana characterization & use
It was terrible, her inner dialogue was probably one of the things that made some of the issues not only slow, but also filled with retarded stuff.
>>Good battles & fight scenes

Now i know you are baiting

>>Darkseid being menacing again for the first time in the new 52 for the most part.

Is this a Joke? Darkseid was one of the worst parts.

>>86705663
>most of Johns introduced changes were gone.

The only thing that changed was that Orlando reintroduced the pantheon. Everything else was basically the same.

>>86705956
Its a good thing when you lack their flaws.
Fuck off you house style hating mother fucker.
>>86705987

No before that when he was fucking with Miracle.

It was a million times better then her characterization in the Graves arc.

Lex luthor ruler of apokalips (which was instantly droped), babyseid.

And of course the justice league gods specials.

This is the biggest use of knowledge batman had in the entire series. The other are "they want the baby" and "who killed my parents"

Everything related to Marvel Cosmic 2005-2011

>Why was Darkseid War so shitty?
Decompression. Nothing of substance actually HAPPENS for a long ass time.

Darkseid War is sort of a microcosm of what's wrong with modern comics. Pencil thin story stretched out across multiple issues, characterization nearly non-existent, lack of direction or focus, too many meaningless fight scenes, double page spreads.... It's all such a bland mess.

Remember when they brought Ultraman back, then killed him by the end of the issue?

Remember when they were so insistent about how they couldn't allow the Anti-monitor to get to the Mobius chair for some reason, then he just died and it never mattered?

Remember when the main plot ignored all the oneshot tie-ins (Clark is still crazy/doesn't realize he's out of control when he gets back from Jimmy interaction, Hal says it took all his will to force his way away from the Mother-ring, when it was about realizing Gods have no will, Billy gaining old god powers, then not using them, then losing them, Flash's mini not having anything at all in it)?

Remember when they spent all that time introducing Kalibak and the other New Gods, who didn't matter?

Remember when the GLC was around because...uh...

Remember when Captain Cold and Lex's sister just never appeared again?

Remember when they teased Aquaman appearing?

Remember when they teased Shazam using the lightning on Cyborg?

>>86710199

Dont forget about the god of knowledge telling his team mates to attack when they have an opening. Or the anti-monitor telling us he missed killing wioth his own hands

>>86707939

Here's some questions since I want to read this and haven't and I don't care about spoilers...

>Does Darkseid die? Has he even been killed?

>Also, is New Genesis playing any part of this?

>Does New Genesis have an army at all? Like parademon equivalents?

>Has there ever been a straight all out war between the two? It always seems like they're in truce mode.

I really need to hunt down all of Kirby's stuff on the subject too.

>>86705178
>single good thing

It ended Geoff Johns Justice League.

>>86710386

I know, I know, I need to read more comic but you know how these things work. Everything fucking changes all the time with Crises' and reboots and what not.

>>86705200
Invasion, LOSH Darkseid took over Daxam's population, and I'd argue Our Worlds at War was actually better in hindsight.

>>86705207

I'm so tired of hearing about Steve Orlando and Tom King. I feel like /co may have the second worst tastes around.

>>86707875
Hopefully never desu.

>>86705398
>thinking its the powers, not NuBilly that pisses Captain Marvel fans off.

>>86710199
>Captain Cold

It still hurts. It hurts so bad.

I remember lex's sister going 'PRAISE DARKSEID' and dissapearing. Was that ever mentioned again?

>>86710415
But then you got Hitch Justice League, which is even worse.

>>86710506
So long as DC throws oldfags a bone every so often with the traditional Captain Marvel, I'm fine with the new version.

Convergence and Multiversity treated me well. And Scooby-Doo Team Up.

>>86710650
The Superwoman ongoing is actually covering it, to my surprise.

Because it was the best mini.
The entire page sequence of Barry trying to cheat the Racer, and then realizing thats a lose scenario is amazing.

the idea of shazam getting powers from alien gods is sick as hell

thats the only nice thing i can say

Oh hey, it's another "house style is boring, muh tumblr fanart" episode.

At least it's better than Marvel's shit tier events

>>86711572
House style IS boring. It's the same ugly comic book style that has been in effect for ages.

>"B-BUT T-TUMBLR!!!"
You can't dismiss an argument by yelling 'Tumblr' at it, anon. That's not how life works.

Darkseid war should have just been a single standard length noncanon one shot of darkseid fighting rhe antimonitor without any context.

NONE
STOP
ACTION

>>86711644
>House style IS boring.
No.

>>86711729
Compelling argument.

What makes Fabok's interior work special? Post some great layouts or action scenes from him.

>>86710937
>>86710968
lol, not even that anon, but look at these bitches

>>86711663
This.
In fact, it's actually what I was hoping for when I first read Justice League 41, and my disappointment grew since.

>>86713426
The threads were sad, some people sayind "it will get better in the next issue"

>>86711644
>I can't draw house style

I get the feeling people who bitch about house style are just wannabe artists who can never imitate it. I'd love to see some of these art snobs try to do what someone like Ivan Reis does.

>>86713590
He is saying it's boring and he is right. House style makes comics look like Marvel movies.
