DC: Rebirth

[Broddie]

I don't think JLA was ever as good as it was under Morrison even Waid's run.

I think the flagship JL book by Geoff Johns was bad up until Throne of Atlantis and then after that not worth reading again till Trinity War/Forever Evil. Now it's a very interesting read with the new status quo. It got a good shakeup and so did JLA with JLU.

Compared to pre-Flashpoint I'm no longer reading 40 plus DC published titles every month anymore. Same with Marvel after Civil War. I only read 2 Marvel books in 2014 and I used to buy over 30 a month not even a decade ago. I think the big 2 in general have become too event crazy during the past decade to even put shit that truly measures up to what Image or Valiant is putting out. There are exceptions with the new 52 though

Green Lantern

Red Lanterns

Justice League

Justice League United

Justice League 3000

Action Comics

Superman/Wonder Woman

Batman & Robin

Batman

Wonder Woman

Aquaman

Red Hood & The Outlaws

Green Arrow

Swamp Thing

All-Star Western (gone in August smh)

Earth 2

Are all books I still check out every month and thoroughly enjoy.

Got damn at the way Swamp Thing fucking man handled Aquaman, was he operating with the White Lantern ring at the time or was he still at standard levels?

Obviously a lot more marvel fans on this board because this thread stay dead. This shit between Doom Patrol and specifically Lex and the Chief seems interesting tho

This is why I don't even post in here. Often times I find some interesting shit to talk about regarding DC news but I just stick to CBR or SHH when it comes to discussing them. Even the so called DC fans on the IC ignore this thread. Often times I'll just find that I'm talking to myself. Still for the sake of the bump I'll share this Grant Morrison Multiversity interview for the one or 2 that might actually be interested.

I'm getting into DC. I'm reading JL 3000, Future's End and JL

How you like Futures End? I heard it was pretty shitty in the beginning but wonder if its picked up any

Story is all over the place and seems like they're telling 4 stories at once but I'm liking it. The book was suggested by a friend so far so good I will admit the first two was wack. A lot better now

this is something DC likes to do. Sometimes they pull it off, sometimes they dont.

Ill give multiversity a shot.

But they've already pissed me off with the 52 worlds nonsense.

That is the stupidest shit in the world. Recreating the muliverse concept which exists to have INFINITE possibilities.....and just limiting that shit to 52 worlds. Ass backwards to say the least.

 

[Knives Amilli]

And I aint digging a map of the multiverse either.

Shit supposed to be the infinite. How the fuck is there a map of it?

(forgive my hating but I loved Pre 52 DC like it was my first child....to see where it is now is killing me)

 

[Lou Cypher]

I just downloaded a collection of every new 52 comic until Jan 2014. fuck yeah.

I think they've more or less found their footing though. I agree though, even for a nigga that had been out of comics for a long time like me, the initial wave of New 52 titles and characterizations was quite jarring.

ComicsAlliance: The Multiversity is a comic book story that’s been years in the making. I’d be interested to start with how, in your mind, the shape of Multiversity has changed in the eight years since we’ve first heard about it.

Grant Morrison: Well originally came out with what we were doing in 52, back in the day with Geoff and Mark and Greg. Originally it was going to be related to that, and as you’ve seen lots of things happened in the end to them. I was pretty busy. The story took a long time to put together and we had to create fifty new universes. It’s been a long time, and also, we’ve been waiting for artists.

The artists are very good in this book and it’s just taken people quite a long time. So over that time, the DC Universe has changed quite considerably, which is why I left the guide book to the very end so I could kind of tie it in. So everything is updated along with the New 52, and I think the fact that they called it New 52 makes this book more appropriate now because it kind of serves as an expansion of that universe rather than something different.

BTW there are still infinite earths in the DC universe. The thing is there are 52 main earths but each of those earths houses it's own infinite possibilities of multiple earths on it's own. The earths all exist within the orrery but the orrery is comprised of a patchwork of different dimensions. So for example Earth prime could have different earths based on it within it's own dimension. It's just that now the infinite earths will be based somehow on one of the 52 main earths it spins off from instead of being more scattered around like in the bronze age. Grant Morrison has said this shit ad naseum for like the last 3 years now but comic book fans have selective memory.
