DC announces 80 page Halloween Special!
>When you think about it, superheroes are awfully scary.

>I mean, just look at the Justice League. You have an all-powerful alien capable of shooting beams from his eyes that can melt metal, a speedster who has a habit of messing with our history and altering the timeline in the process, a young man who can access and take control of every computer network in the world within a matter of seconds, a woman who’s strong enough to toss a tank and can make you confess all your deepest secrets, two dubiously responsible individuals who each wield the most powerful weapon ever created, and of course, Batman—the man who pretty much defines terror.

>Yes, all of these heroes are good-hearted and despite the power they wield, would never seek to harm anyone. However, it’s easy to see how they could quickly become our worst nightmares if something were to ever go wrong. Heck, it’s what Lex Luthor has been warning us about all of these years.

>So DC’s new Halloween-timed one-shot, DC HOUSE OF HORROR #1, holds plenty of potential for super-powered scares
>>
>>93772223
>An all-new, all-creepy one-shot set in the DC Universe, DC House of Horror features the contributions of some of the most exciting voices in contemporary horror fiction, including Bram Stoker Award winners Brian Keene and Weston Ochse, Bram Stoker nominees Edward Lee and Mary SanGiovanni, and other masters of horror including Wrath James White, Nick Cutter, Ronald Malfi and Bryan Smith. They’re partnered up with some of our best artists, including Rags Morales, Bilquis Evely, Howard Porter, Scott Kolins, Dale Eaglesham and others for some short stories that will keep you reading late into the night.

>Martha Kent fights for her life against a creature from a spacecraft that lands in front of her farmhouse! A young woman is possessed by the spirit of a murderous Amazon warrior! The last surviving member of the Justice League faces down a horror beyond imagining! Those are only a few of the tales within, but if they’re not enough to get you screaming like you’d just been hit by Scarecrow toxin, well, Keith Giffen is involved with this bad boy, too.

Looks promising.

>HURRP ISNT BATMAN SUPER SCARY, GUISE?
I take back every nice thing I've said about Rebirth. DC, please stop being a bunch of retards. You were doi g so well for about five minutes. Then you go and pull Dark Metal, and now this. Goddammit.

>>93772372
>No it fucking doesn't. Stop being stupid for once in your life.
>>
>>93772223
Goddammit DC can you be ANY MORE DESPERATE
>>
>>93772654
I know right? If DC wants to make Batman scary again, he needs to rip off the Joker's nipples.
>>
>>93772654
Fuck off. It's an 80 page one shot.
>>
>>93772771
What's desperate about this?
>>
>>93772654
I wanna complain about your stupid rage post, but I'm too busy being confused as to why you made the second part of you post a greentext.
>>
>>93772223
Goddammit DC can you be ANY MORE BASED
>>
>>93772223
Cool, it's always nice to read little anthologies. I wonder if this means there will be no Christmas one this year.
>>93772654
Wait, are you that guy who hates crossovers? You kind of sound like him.

>>93772974

His name is Cranky.

I hope not. Last year's Christmas issue was comfy as fuck
>>
>>93772913
It doesn't matter if it's 80 pages or 1. Holiday specials are gimmicky whoreshit that belong in the fucking trash.

How the fuck did I fool myself into thinking that DC had finally gotten its act together? They're just going right back to the same shit that caused them to nosedive before.

Why the fuck do I even like comics in the first place? The majority of material is crap, there's no genre variety, and the industry is a parody of itself. Fucking hell.
>>
>>93773194
Cranky doesn't pretend, he's 100% honest.
>>
>>93773399
>there's no genre variety

And yet when DC does something different by getting horror writers to write some Elseworld horror stories, your response is "REEEEEEEEEE!"
>>
>>93773399
I guess your desire to change has failed miserably.
>>
>>93773399
Dammit Cranky, you were doing so well...
>>
>>93773399
I dig them Triple-Doubles, cranky.
But really this is getting so predictable that them trip-dibs are the ONLY interesting thing about the post.
>>
>>93773539
It's still capes, you fucking retard. Horror themed is not the same as being horror. Harry fucking Potter has horror elements sometimes, yet no sane person would ever classify the books as being in the horror genre. Please stop being the stupid, mindlessly consuming livestock you are for a minute.
>>
>>93772223
>DC announces 80 page Halloween Special!

Sounds fun. I liked the Christmas special.
>>
>>93773696
Cranky, can you please kill yourself?

So you're all trying to do another failed skit here, aren't you.
>>
>>93773976
What are you even talking about? I'm seriously lost here.

>>93772223
Sounds like a neat idea. Hope it's as good as the Christmas special.
>>
>>93773551
>>93773576
>>93773614
No, I'm calling this out for what it is. A stupid gimmick. Did everyone but me forget there's supposed to be a major storyline going on right now? Something about Dr. Manhattan trying to force the DCU into being darker and edgier?
Well, I suppose it's easy to forget since literally no progress on it has been made. We still don't know why Saturn Girl is in Arkham, we still don't know who Mr. Oz is, we still don't know why Dr. Manhattan was messing with the Titans' history specifically, etc.

But instead of resolving any of that, instead they decide to waste time and resources on an event where everyone is Batman, and now they announce a Halloween special. Again, it's the same clusterfuck-y bullshit that caused them to utterly derp out for five years. Dammit, I thought they had put this shit behind them.
>>
>>93773945
Sure mate
>>
>>93774080
>No, I'm calling this out for what it is. A stupid gimmick.

Oh so like how your pretending to complain about this comic is a stupid posting gimmick.
>>
>>93774080
well find out who OZ is in September
>>
>>93774080
>why Saturn Girl is in Arkham
Because all the stuff she says about being from the future sounds like insane ramblings if you don't know who she is.
>>
>>93774080
And you splerging out about a one-shot Halloween special is idiotic bullshit all in itself. Don't like it, don't buy it. I would also recommend a therapist, this can't be good for your health.
>>
>>93774080
So you're upset that something isn't progressing a major event and is isntead doing it's own thing?
So during storytimes of Gotham By Midnight were you actually thinking "BUT FUTURES END JUST FINISHED WHY ISN'T IT FOCUSING ON THAT AFTERMATH REEEEEEE"
>>
>>93774097
That's not a gimmick, I just happen to be a very angry person. On that note, kiss my ass.

>>93774210
Are you seriously trying to stick up for a holiday special of all things? Are you really that much of a sheep? It's a might fucked when I of all people have to tell you to have some dignity.

>>93774203
Yes, but why doesn't she just leave? Even if we assume her powers don't work right now for whatever reason, she could still very easily just walk out of that hole, and not a damn soul could stop her.
>>
>>93774393
We're all trying to say that acting like a goddamn retard over a stupid holiday special is idiotic but keep on thinking you're fighting the good fight!!
>>
>>93774393
>That's not a gimmick, I just happen to be a very angry person. On that note, kiss my ass.

That's the kind of person trying too hard to pretend to be angry would say. Getting (you)s is no real accomplishment, you know.
>>
>>93774326
Oh goodness no, I don't give a fuck about Future's End, fuckin' waste of time that was.

No, the issue I have with this is that Rebirth was meant to be DC calling a mulligan on the Nu52, and making an active effort to fix its mistakes. And yet here they are, going right back to the same old gimmicky bullshit that hurt them before. They should be focusing on resolving their big overarching plot they started, not wasting time and resources on pointless specials. It's just so disappointing to see them renege on their promises when they were doing so well.

Come on, DC. Get it together.
>>
>>93772242
I thought this said Bram Stoker was writing and I became very interested and slightly scared for a second. But as always DC aims to disappoint and doesn't even resurrect one dead author for their special.
>>
>>93774704
>Come on, DC. Get it together.
Agreed. End this bland ass rebirth era already.
>>
>>93774763
Rebirth overall has been fine. It's dumb shit like this that will cause things to go to shit.

Seriously. How long have you insane bastards been keeping "EVERYONE IS BATMAN" on the backburner, and how much cocaine did you snort to finally work up the nerve to go through with it? Holy fucking shit.
>>
>thread ruined by the same Cranky shitposter
Why don't the mods do something about Cranky?
>>
>>93775363
He's ours, not yours. Shoo!
>>
>>93775363
Cause everyone knows he's a fake poster. He just switches up every once in a while.
>>
>80 page

How much will it be bros?
>>
>>93775582
3.98
Just to screw with Marvel.
>>
>>93774044
I think he's commenting on how theatrically faggy they're being
>>
>>93775582
Probably $9.99 like the Christmas issue

It's probably not even gonna be canon you sperglord.
>there can be oy ONE storyline going on at any one time, only ONE
Hmmm gee, I guess you're right. Why even write any stories other than the Watchmen one? Jeez, you think DC would cancel their entire line and dedicate their whole workstaff to this one story and this one story only.

Fuck "fun". That's not even a real word anymore.

And frankly, I am dead tired of Batwank. Bruce Wayne is a vile monster, and the fact editorial and consumers still happily suck his cock without question is absolutely disgusting. Go fuck yourselves.

>>93772242
>Keith Giffen is involved with this bad boy, too.
Whelp, confirmed bad. Maybe the Christmas special DC.
>>
>>93778612
But they're gonna make him a monster in this special. You seem to be contradicting yourself.

Why you have to be mad? It's only funny books.
>>
>>93779171
Comic books have gone completely to shit. This industry is a pathetic shell of its former self, constantly peddling only one genre because other books don't sell, because they don't publish anything but that one genre. It's a vicious cycle that never ends, and I can't take this shit for much longer.
>>
>>93779409
Then why are you here?

>>93780514
Cause what the fuck else am I gonna do? I'm too far deep into this thing.
