Its being praised a ton

And we are 30 issues in on most runs.

any of them trade/shelf worthy, must read stories?

Deathstroke perhaps?
>>
>>95373742
No.

Maybe Shade, but that's YA.
>>
>>95373742
Eh, nothing praise worthy so far.
>>
>>95373742
Deathstroke, sure.
>>
>>95373742
One-shot story in Batman feat. Swamp Thing.
>>
>>95373981
No.
>>
The multiplicity arc in Superman was really good, also if you are collecting the Multiversity you might need it for completeness sake.

>>95373742
Deathstroke and New Super-Man are great.


There's also Flintstones and the Young Animal Line.
Not Rebirth, but they all launched within months of each other.
>>
Deathstroke will go down as one of DC's finest comics
>>
Is there even anything on the level of current Black Bolt solo at least?
>>
Nightwing and the flash are fuckin terrible, so not those two
>>
>>95374304
I wouldn't go this far. It's just going to be Deathstroke best run.
>>
>>95374352
Depending on how long it goes on for and if Priest keeps it great, it could end up being a downright GODLY run in general, and we haven't had one of those in cape comics in a while.
>>
Who are they reaching out too?

Rebirth completely transformed Red Hood and the Outlaws from a pile of shit into one of their best ongoing comics.

Probably Red Hood, Trinity, Wonder Woman and Superman are my favourite this time around.
>>
Deathstroke might not quite be a classic but it's at least notable for being the best story for its character.

>>95373981
>>95374241
These two are great but they're attached to a run that gets a lot of criticism, so I'm not sure if their popularity will hold up. I do recommend buying them though. Mister Miracle, on the other hand, is one of the most liked and acclaimed comics this year everywhere except maybe /co/.

>>95374301
Doom Patrol and Shade from Young Animal are great. The only thing holding them back is comparisons to the Morrison and Milligan stuff, which is pretty hard to live up to. I'd say they're trade/shelf worthy.
>>
>>95374878
That seems to be the case with several Marvel series: Nick Fury, Avengers, Immortal Iron Fists, etc.

Rebirth has been turning a lot of villains into heroes/semi heroes and I really enjoy that. That's some good shit.
>>
The Phantom Lantern gets on my list of memorable Green Lantern comics.
As does the oneshot with Jessica dealing with Anxiety attacks.
>>
>>95373981
I seriously don't understand why this gets rated so highly. Besides the quasi-Moore cameo, it was lame and had lots of not-in-character moments for both Swamp Thing and Batman.

Like many of what /co/ hails as the New52's best, it was probably great in that first storytime. But it's pretty damn bad once you're not being swayed by a bunch of replies to big moment pages.
>>
does anyone honest to god still enjoy the current Batman run? it's so pretentious and I hate the whole "Bat" and "Cat" shit. Also that bane arc was retarded.
>>
>>95374928
>Trinity
That series bores me to tears.
>>
>>95375023
I'm enjoying the war of jokes and riddles. Didn't really enjoy anything else though.
>>
>>95375043
huh, I really enjoy it. But i'm a sucker for comics where the bat, supes and wondy hang out, i love that.
>>
The chicago issue of deathstroke (I think nr 11) will become a classic, imo.

For once /co/ is right
>>
>>95374946
>>95375100
how can mister miracle be the most acclaimed and liked comic this year when it's 2 issues in

i don't understand why everyone immediately loves it
>>
>>95375121
Because King is revolutionizing cape comics and writing the best Fourth World story in years
>>
>>95375121
I don't get it outside of use of 9-panel format.
>>
>>95375121
>how can mister miracle be the most acclaimed and liked comic this year when it's 2 issues in

It's really, really good, but CotY judgement has to be reserved for longer running comics. It may end up being CotY though and many people don't want to be left out.

>>95375004
>had lots of not-in-character moments for both Swamp Thing and Batman.
Maybe it's not for you anon.
>>
>>95374946
Changing Girl is vastly different from Changing Man in themes and everything, the comparison is silly. It does its own thing while being respectful to the series that came before it. Besides, comparing anything to Milligan's best(Shade, Enigma) is just unfair.
>>
>>95375121
>>95375100
I don't necessarily agree with the "comic of the year!" response I've been seeing a lot of, especially so early in the series, but I'm surprised a lot of people on /co/ don't seem to like it much. There's characterization issues (as there were in Omega Men and Vision) but the storytelling is really good in my opinion.
>>
>>95375004
>Like many of what /co/ hails as the New52's best, it was probably great in that first storytime. But it's pretty damn bad once you're not being swayed by a bunch of replies to big moment pages.
What a retarded thing to say.
The Swamp Thing and Fudd issues show that the King hate on /co/ is a meme because the actually issues are fairly plotless and empty.
>>
>>95375772
>the storytelling is good
>>
>>95375121
And? Lots of comics get overhyped after just one issue, maybe you're not used to it because it happens to Marvel comics. Vision, Ms. Marvel, Hawkeye, all were fellated like crazy after just one issue.
>>
>>95375851
One can like one of writer's bibliography and hate another.

>>
>>95375913
I'm just saying that, apart from those comics not having a lot of meat on their bones, they also suffer from a lot of the usual King problems. Disliking King's Batman is fair because its not good but those two one shits weren't anything special either.
>>
>>95373742
first arc of All Star for sure, easily something i can see getting a kind of Cult, Shaman kind of treatment in the future

if you count young animal, i would argue for a few of them, barring Mother Panic which is just a bit so so.

Deathstroke too if this thread is anything to go by
>>
>>95375853
This is crap

Deathstroke
New Super-man
Flintstones
Shade the Changing Girl

All shelf worthy

Since everyone seems to be rolling with Flintstones, then I'm gonna rep Scooby-Apocalypse.

Entertaining stuff.
>>
>>95376291
Better than Preachstones.
>>
>>95376291
Does that count as Rebirth?

I can't remember when it started
>>
>>95376481
People were listing Flintstones, but it was the first wave of Hanna-Barbera titles if that makes a difference.
>>
>>95376291
It's really, really bad though.

Nah, the "Fever Dream" issue was weird, but it's stayed a steady course of story and development.
>>
Of rebirth: New Superman, Humphrie's Green Lanterns, Tomasi's Superman, King's Batman, and Deathstroke is OK.

Hanna Barbara had Flinstones

Every Young Animals book is better than the best rebirth book, Doom Patrol and Shade being a cut above even the other YA books.

It's also pretty clear that Mr. Miracle is going to be incredible.

>Its being praised a ton
That's mostly due to walking back most of the nu52 changes that had the oldFags the most butthurt. The vast VAST majority of what's come out has been on the passible side of mediocre unless you're really REALLY into continuity wanking and "let's hear that top ten greatest hits replay ONE MORE TIME!"

Basically image related only it's DC and they weren't kidding although, having said that, it needs to be pointed out that "passible side of mediocre" is an order of magnitude superior to 99% of what's coming out of Marble these days.

Anywhoo:
Deathstroke has been very well WRITTEN ( the art's not been great for the most part ) and the same writer is slated to take over Justice League from Hitch who's been just as terrible since Rebirth as he was on JLA prior; so we're all looking forward to THAT.

Green Arrow is fucking GORGEOUS ( the writing's the same crap by the same crappy writer as before the relaunch ).

Super Sons, Red Hood and the Outlaws, New Super-Man, Aquaman ( esp the most recent arc ), and The Flintstones ( same author as Prez ) are all worth checking out, IMHO.
>>
>>95376481
Scooby came out one week before Rebirth #1 and Future Quest came out the week of Rebirth #1 (or maybe a week after), if my memory is correct. Flintstones came out in like July or some shit.

For all intents and purposes, the new HB series are effectively Rebirth, since they wouldn't have happened without Rebirth.
>>
I know /co/ really doesn't like it, but War of Jokes and Riddles is shaping up to be one of my favorite Rebirth storylines right now, if not just for the Kite Man content. It has a lot of pathos and makes me feel in a way that comics haven't been able to for some time now.
>>
>>95376621
I read the first six issues and nothing interesting happened. Even fucking Wacky Raceland was better. And I'm a fan of G+DM.
>>
Does the Flintstones count? That's the only thing I could see being considered a classic down the line so far.

Maybe the Snagglepuss comic whenever that drops
>>
>>95373742
New superman was good until issue 9. Then it got too convoluted

I won't lie, it's slow. That's a real issue with it, especially since it can't last much longer and it's barely half-way through what story it has to tell.

But Wacky Raceland better? Hell no.
>>
>>95375853
Yes, it is. Great pacing and it gets across its themes well.

This page is supposed to contrast with the page before it, where we saw the "boom" from Scott and Barda's point of view. Different tone in the first page with the color and conversation, compared to the quiet contemplation and changing facial expression with Granny. Her changing mood/expressions is the point of the page, that's why the "boom" is in the middle panel.

But this is the worst example, right? Or did you think the whole issue and the first one were as bad as this page?
>>
>>95376844
The only part where Apocalypse is clearly superior to Raceland is the art.
>>
>>95376652
I agree with most of this, except I'm not big on Green Lanterns, and would rate Deathstroke a little higher than OK, maybe on the level YA stuff. Maybe add Wild Storm but it's pretty slow.

>>95376928
Yeah, I agree with you that Wildstorm is good but slow. I think it will develop really well, but it's hard to say now.
>>

Yuck
>>
>>95374241
This was so fucking good.
>>
>>95374151
stop fucking lying, it was fucking shit, If touching Multiversity stuff is supposed to ruin that, do not fucking touch.

Also No, there isn't anything remakrable in Rebirth, max there is is fun stuff.
