Hello, Storyteller.

>Identity Crisis
Oh joy. Yet another of DC's colossal fuck ups. It's like they can't stop doing that, as today's solicits suggest.

I can't take this shit anymore. This has to fucking stop, and yet it just refuses to fucking STOP. Why do you fucktarded fake nerds like this crossover whoreshit? This is easily one of the stupidest ideas ever, and you morons are eating it up like candy l. Fuck Warner Bros, and fuck you. Goddamn.

>Thanks to Joseph Rojas from the DC Rebirth panel at ECCC 2017, who stayed for the Q&A session, DC Comics has confirmed, as he put it, that “a Justice Society of America comic is already planned.”

The Justice Society were done away with for the New 52 reboot back in 2011. DC Rebirth teased their return with the elderly Johnny Thunder being triggered, the idea of time and history being messed with, and images of the Golden Age Flash, Jay Garrick.

I think you hit the nail on the head with people praising it because it isn't socially acceptable in their circles not to, reviews seem positive but when it comes to actual buzz I haven't heard anything good

at least that's how I'm rationalizing it, it's Not For Me but even disregarding that it seemed like a sloppy comic with bad writing

LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES/BUGS BUNNY SPECIAL #1

Written by SAM HUMPHRIES
Art and cover by TOM GRUMMETT and SCOTT HANNA
The Legion of Super Heroes always thought they had taken their inspiration from the 21st Century’s Superboy. But when they try to bring that hero into their future time, the team discovers to their surprise the caped champion isn’t who—or even what—they expected!
On sale JUNE 14 • 48 pg

of course there are, presumably Carter in JSA

they didn't need to kill off Katar :(
>>
>>90374522
She's from an alternate dimension where everyone is a chick. Fucking of course some of their cultures would hold their bodily functions in high regard. Get the fuck over it, or go whine about it on Tumblr, you rat piece of fucking shit.

I fucking swear, you "people" need to be rounded up and shot. You cheer and celebrate a fucking DC/Looney Tunes crossover, but any little thing even vaguely having to do with women that doesn't involve them sucking on cock, THAT'S when you get offended. Because fucking of course.

I need to invent time travel, so I can go back, rape Christopher Poole's whore mother so I can impregnate her with my kid so she never spawns the wretched abomination that created this piece of shit website.

Fucking shut the hell up you fucking retards.

How can a shadow-based dude that gets stripped by light kill someone who has a campfire for a hat? He shouldn't be able to get near him.

>>90374985
is this /d/
>>
>>90375003
Going by how rehash-y that comic is I wouldn't be surprised.
>>
>>90375017
I don't really care how reheated it is, if rehashes are the only way to get Hal interacting with other characters again I'll take it
>>
>>90375012
it was hax and bullshit involving a rather Nate-like explosion, I believe
>>
>>90375085

Yeah they've really fucked Hal off into space and only in the main lantern title for some time now. Still, fuck rehashes and creatively bankrupt shitters.

No it's policy now to have 3 or 4 issues completed before they'll even solicit #1

It's the only comic that ever made me care about the JSA.

>She's from an alternate dimension where everyone is a chick. Fucking of course some of their cultures would hold their bodily functions in high regard.
What? How does that logically follow at all? Every human shits, but we don't have any reverence for defecating. How would there only being women stop the excretement of liquid uterine walls from being disgusting?
>>
>>90374639
The only positive thing I can say about it is it's nice to see a hero with multiple fashionable outfits, which is a sad rarity in comics

(also that Cap didn't literally turn into Hitler like scanbro said, but that's hardly praise)
>>
>>90375106
the interview with Wagner is good--apparently Mage happens whenever it's time for Mage to happen, he just straight-up draws it instead of scripting, etc.
>>
>>90375117
So? Most titles go on hiatus after 4 or so issues. Non Player was an exception.
>>

there are some strains of radical feminism that are all "PERIODS FUCK YEAH" but it's pretty clearly a deliberate counternarrative to "bleeds for five days and doesn't die" misogynist 'humor' that I don't think would exist in a place that viewed them genuinely value-neutral
>>
>>90375110
>Yeah they've really fucked Hal off into space and only in the main lantern title for some time now
I wouldn't mind so much that he's stuck in space forever if they'd like... let him hang out with some non-lantern aliens or something

I'm afraid I have no familiarity with the Manhunter name, so that doesn't mean much to me.

James Harren has done some covers to keep money flowing in

I agree actually fuck that white lantern shit but returning him to his original costume is dumb.
>>
>>90375138
>(also that Cap didn't literally turn into Hitler like scanbro said, but that's hardly praise)
He did apologize in the first storytime for getting that wrong. He'd only skimmed and hadn't noticed Cap in the last panel.
>>
>>90375523
It is! There's so much deep dive DC Nerderei in this run, I mean just you wait.
>>
God, I need to read more DC, I genuinely don't know who any of these people are besides GL, Hawkman, and Manhunter.
>>
>>90375478
Why? I think Williams II did a great job emulating Ferry's style and there wasn't that much of a difference between the issues. I like Ferry but he's unreliably slow and he's not THAT good to warrant that.
>>
>>90375551
another plot line getting set up

Kate has Family Issues

>>90375556
there are things here and upcoming that are way more OH SHIIII- if you catch the hints, but just ask for context
>>
>>90375511
>end up doing something at the big two after those 4 issues most of the time.
> AFTER
Opena isn't doing any Marvel work while he's working on more Seven to Eternity

Rios is writing, not drawing

Also Rumble is on hiatus man, has been since October

How did Murphy not finish? He did 10 issues, that was the end.

The only creative team that let their book go on hiatus to work for the Big 2 is Rucka and Scott

Lemire has become the new Remender/Hickman. Another Image title...
>>
>>90375577
I just love Ferry, I think he's seriously underrated. He's also a yuuuge influence on me.
His art's pretty lazy nowadays tho, although I'm not sure if that's because he actually got lazy, or he's ill in some way or whatever.

>>90375770
>>
>>90375622
I meant to say finished, not didn't finished.

There's the many Hickman titles, there's Fraction and Zdarsky, there's Shalvey and Ellis. Didn't Lazarus go on hiatus? There's also the bunch of titles that went on hiatus and then never came back over the past few years but everyone forgets about those.

>>90375836
But which of those artists are back at the big 2? Writing multiple comics isn't a big deal, you're whole point was that slow artista just leave titles and go back to the Big 2.

Injection is returning and I'm pretty sure all Shalvey did was a few covers
>>
>>90375990
How many sci-fi titles are there?

On an Image thread a few days ago people noticed how there seem to be more Southern US/Country type books coming out, not unlike a couple years ago when sci fi books were half their lineup
>>
>>90376036
because as Gru said, use it better, things that already exist
>>
>>90376071
>>
>>90376054
There's a lot of sci fi...

There were a few writers chasing after that Southern Bastards audience and Image approved them but that's all.
>>
>>90376108
>>90376054
Southern books are...the temptations of cliche are so very present...
>>
>>90376147
I'm a little surprised we haven't had more historical comics but those are an extra shit-ton of work if you want to be reasonably accurate

One was about two people getting powers, which, fair enough, it's kind of sci-fi, but then the other one was more of a post-apocalyptic affair, which isn't really science-fiction.

Joe Casey's new book looks like the best of the bunch, seems like a really weak lineup.

The New Lemire comic sounded cool, but looking up the artist and he seems awful
>>
>>90376396
Zero maybe? I heard the latter parts became a shitshow once Kot started heavily wanking William S. Burroughs.

maybe he'll do better on that wild storm comic if rumors are to be trusted.

now, with page!

Hester's recent stuff has looked good. The paparazzi and mercenaries thing is what sounds bad to me.

Everything other than the Lemire title sounds like absolute shit though.

>Donald "Dan" Richards attended the police academy with his girlfriend's brother, Jim, who was at the top of the class, while Dan was at the very bottom. After Jim was framed for a crime he didn't commit, Dan took up the identity of Manhunter to track down the actual killer. He caught the perpetrator and cleared Jim's name. Afterwards, he continued to operate as Manhunter. His sidekick was a dog named Thor. Dan's granddaughter, Marcie Cooper, became the third Harlequin after he convinced her to join the Manhunters.

How many superheroes have actually DIED and come back to life, without retconning that they died? I've always wanted to know.
I mean, we as readers love talking shit about comic book death, but even Jean Grey only actually died the one time, and she's still dead. Everything else was just "oh, that wasn't her, it was X" or "they didn't die, they did comic book shenigans".

Or you could just stop coming here.
Get a hobby! Take up woodworking. Manual tools only so it's more time consuming. Sell you wares at farmers markets.
Eventually, meet a nice girl and fall in love with her. Marry her. Have kids together. Use your tables and chairs money to buy your kids a fishing boat so they live off the sea. Live your life.

But you enjoy your anger too much for that, don't you.

Cranky, you stupid motherfucker, we've all told you repeatedly that we like asking for recommendations because we have some slight modicum of trust in "Someone here has read it and thinks highly enough of it to pass it along" as opposed to "whims of the search gods".

I cant wait for the part where she represents WW when she killed Max. It has my favorite artist's rendition of her in comics. So casual but still composed looking.

>mfw I didn't even bother saving a picture of it
>>
>>90384121
I didn't realise Max Lord dying was such a big event as an outsider.
>>
>>90385791
It was broadcasted around the world. The part with Max mindcontrolling Superman trimmed from the footage so it looked like WW randomly kills an innocent man. This eventually lead into the Amazons Attack storyline that everyone likes to pretend never happened.
>>
>>90386191
Honestly it seems like it mostly led to pretty bad story developments. This comic excepted maybe.

It was a key point near the end of Rucka's run on Wondie but never gets fully resolved there, then it was supposed to be explored more post-IC, but the Wonder Woman runs there were mostly suck and went nowhere.

>>90391021
Alias is also one of those fascinating comics wherein I think it's very worth reading because of its impact on the market and innovation at the time, but given distance, doesn't stand up that well as a thing in and of itself. You'd teach it in survey class, but not in deep analysis class.
