DARK DAYS: THE CASTING #1 first look

>>93250761
Is it me or Romita Jr. looks a lot better without coloring?

Can coloring really fuck up the art?

>>93250947
>Can coloring really fuck up the art?

Uh yeah. Have you seen some recolored comics in the last ten years?

>>93250947
You are right.
I think flat coloring suits him better

>>93250979
You mean those recolored editions of 60s-80s comics?

>>93250761
Is that Azz's Hephaestus?

>>93250761
Is that... is that fucking Dubbilex?

>>93250985
He looked great with Dean White in All Star Batman

>>93251141
Dean White can make a turd look great

>When Batman begins to investigate the most recent death of Hawkman, the opening events of Metal “blows it out into an entire Justice League extravaganza, where everybody sort of goes and finds out that the DC cosmos is a lot larger and scarier and wondrous than everyone thought,” Snyder explained in an interview last month.

Has it been confirmed if we are getting a Hawkman ongoing coming out of this?

>>93251229
From interviews with Snyder it sounds like he wants to

>>93251220
>the most recent death of Hawkman
Lol

>>93251095
fuck yeah

>>93251332
Did he hint at an artist? I would love to see Andy Kubert do it.

There better be some sick guitar solos in this cunt.

>>93250811
Classic Shazam Wizard and Ra's al ghul?

>>93251095
god i hope so, might mean we're getting kon back

>>93251429
Andy Kubert is doing New Challengers with Scott Snyder.

>>93251332
He said he wants to write Hawkman a lot in the past. I think he will write a Hawkman onging after this. He's off Batman after the arc with Sean Gordon Murphy.

I think Snyder on Hawkman would be cool.s

>>93251473
Must be something to do with the upcoming Immortal Men series.

>>93250720
>>fans were loud and clear, they want more from us

well as a batfag, I most certainly didn't

Is Forge the only issue that's been out so far?

Looks nice, I really like cosmic-meta stuff.
What are the chances PRIME shows up in this?

>>93251374
I wonder if Despero will play a big role in this story since Hawkman's heroic sacrifice didn't really amount to much.

>>93252012
>What are the chances PRIME shows up in this?
Can you please stop this meme once and for all? No one at DC wants him back, I bet even Johns looks back on Prime with embarrassment.

>>93252208
Oh, ye of little faith. He's not gone forever. He'll come back. That's his whole deal.

>>93251932
this. More Capullo is nice, hold the Snyder though.

Dude's cancer. Let him go to marvel to write a Nova book.

>>93250947
Yep, Miller and Romita are two artists who should really stick with black and white

>>93251932
>>93252472
oh please. everyone loved snyder's run. it's one of the only redeemable things about the new52

>>93252992
>everyone loved snyder's run
I'm not even going to throw an exaggeration back. I'll just say: no, a lot of us didn't and don't. And you're either baiting or incredibly new.

>>93252992
Snyder was only good when he wasn't using his stories as a soapbox to make grand statements about the Batfamily which meant only his Dickbat run and maybe some of the Court of Owls. The rest of it was shit because he wouldn't stop turning the stories into mouthpieces of what he thought Batman should be.

>>93253195
/co/ is a small minority

>>93251473
Theyre attempting to deboot parts of Shazam. You can see classic sivannas timepills in the jla book.

>>93250789
Is Duke having a orgasm?

is it just me or does this come off a little petty revenge like for morrison getting to make the multiverse. like "fine i'll make my own multiverse, with METAL and BATMAN. DARK MULTIVERSE because it's all DARK and BRUTAL."

>>93256591
Not at all. Stop projecting.

>>93256645
come on, you can see even a little in there. dystopian worl with a 40k chaos batman dictator. if there is no anger over morrison filling the multiverse with silver age wacky, elseworlds and meta, then synder is even more edgy 12 year old than i thought.

>>93256739
Wew lad.

>>93256739
Morrison and Snyder are bros anon chill

I have a question, fellow anons. This is more or less canon to the rebirthverse.
Does that mean they have Plastic Man locked up? What gives? That's horrible, they just keep him like this?

>>93257188
I honestly don't know if this is meant to be in main rebirth continuity or if it's supposed to be an alt timeline of rebirth continuity that's going to get fucked to death deal like what Future's End ended up being to the New 52.

I like to imagine moore is deconstructing /co/ daily by being the morrisonfag in every bat thread.

>>93257269
but poor plas locked up? Why?

>>93256591
>>93256739
You're acting like a SJW or /pol/lo, literally looking for a reason to be offended.

>>93257451
Batman's an asswipe like that most of the times.

>>93257269
i doub even the people at DC know if it's in continuity. they're probably just waiting to see what snyder is going to do then decide later.

>>93250761
I hate how shitty JRJR's linework is, especially compared to Jim Lee's right under it, and I hate how all the characters in his art look cylindrical. His art looks better here than it usually does nowadays though, so either JRJR's working at top form for this event or it's because coloring really fucks up his art.

>>93258879
i think it's both. coloring doesnt help but his linework isnt the best. his heads and faces are atrocious.

>>93250811

So uhhh how did the OG Hawks come back?

>>93259135
Find out in the thrilling DC event Dark Days! Only $3.99. Ask your lcs about adding to your pull list.

>>93259135
Good question, New 52 Hawkman recently died.

>>93259232

Right so that was Katar right? And this is Cater coming back as the main Hawkman again because they can't just have them both exist dealing with different kinds of stories or something.

>>93259307
Yep, Katar died saving Rann and Thanagar from Despero who was sporting a full body armor of Nth metal.

>>93250858

>The Hawks get to keep their trunks

>But Superman doesn't.

Why!

>>93259472
Nth metal son.

>>93259472
Because Superman CAN not look like an idiot. The Hawks can't.

>>93251332
>>93251837
Snyder been waiting for over a decade to write Hawkman.

>>93259715
Well I hope he gets the gig so he can fuck off off Batman once and for all.

>>93259307
That's because Katar was the laziest of the Silver Age reinventions. Literally take the Golden Age version make him less violent. And make him Space Cop to cash in the Space Age fad of the time, even though he uses ancient weaponry to beat his enemies.

It looked cool, but made zero sense.

This is why Silver Age Hawkman triggers Kurt Busiek's autism.

>>93250711
What is this event? I don't feel like I've gotten any info on what's happening.

>>93259193
>$4.99

>>93259472
He got them back retroactively.

how many jokers?

>>93257094
i never meant a furious rage, more like a frustration. synder isn't bad but he does seem to try very hard to be a mythos maker. he really wants some one to spin stuff out his ideas like they spun the lantern corps thing out of a morrison idea from his jla run. he also does let that inner edge lord 12 year old come to the surface a little too much sometimes.

>>93260040
I'm with this guy

>>93264666
? The lantern corps came more from Moore than Morrison.

>>93264684
>>93260040

batman's been investigating a mysterious metal that pops up in powerful artifacts.

guardians are getting worried that batman is getting closer to unlocking it's origins and its secrets and hilarity ensues

I don't think it's meant to shake up the status quo, from what I understand based on snyder and capullo's interviews it's more meant to be a for-fun event and possibly launch a new dc imprint

>>93264843
Remember when event books weren't mandatory?

I miss the good old days

>>93264877
yeah, thank god armageddon 2001 wasn't something that was a required reading because it was a pretty terrible event

>>93250834
Wonder Woman got DEM LIPS.

>>93264843
>it's more meant to be a for-fun event
I think so too after they teased dual axe wielding batman and t-rex with guns. It's like a celebration of silver age comic book retardation.

>he's collaborating with mister terrific and they're investigating other earths(?)
>whipped out the tuning fork that the anti-monitor was using to destroy universe
>teasers show multiple different batmen, merged with other members of the justice league/using their powers(?)
I'm calling it now

This is gonna be an Interdimensional Council of Batmans who deemed all superpowered heroes useless so they put them down and took charge themselves

>>93264943
LOL.

Dukeis the culmination of everything I don't like about Snyder's Batman.

OCs replacing old, established characters instead of co-living with them, charactirization off, non-stop world destroying action that simulatneously takes too long and too little time to happen and character development that is told instead of shown.

>Snyder
>bat-wanking
>hawkman dying again.
>paradigm shaking cosmic revelations in a big event

Sounds shit.

What's the draw though?

Why would I want to read this?

>>93265496
It is to kick off a new imprint that puts the focus on the artists first. It's for people that want good art more so than writing.

>>93265414
Hey, Damifag, stop ripping off other people's posts!

I can regocnize when you are doing it, especially when they are my own damn words. Stop it.

>>93259135
Likely a flashback.

>>93265571
>It's for people that want good art more so than writing.
But the artists announced are pretty crap.

>>93250947

This is why Finch's work was so good in Forever Evil. Give them a good inker and colorist and you can elevate art or drop it to shit.

Same thing with the colorist that worked with Jon Meyers on his two issues of Teen Titans. On the other hand, the debacle with that shitty inker/colorist on the early Injustice comics.

>>93265753
>Lee
>Andy Kubert
>Rocafort
>Capullo
>JRJR
>Tony Daniel
>all shit
You've got some crap taste there.

>>93265809
Only Capullo is great from that list. Kubert in particular is garbage.

>>93265944
Regardless Andy trying to ape Joe on Hawkman would be worth it just on the basis of the idea.

>>93266018
No, it would be sad. Andy is terrible and not 1/4 of the artist Joe was. He only has a job in this industry because of who his dad was.

>>93265571

Wow.

Fuck that.

Comics are a visual medium, but a well written comic with shit art is more tolerable to me than a well drawn comic with a shitty story.
