Across several different Bat-titles though.

Too many new villains. The Court of Owls is fantastic, but other than that I'm really not caring at all for these new villains. I want my originals back.

I did read the first issue of Carnage USA and thought it was pretty good.

[quoted text]

Whoa hold the crap up. JMS? Really? I thought we were supposed to have... more competent writers on these prequels.

And who the crap is Len Wein and why is HE in charge of the best Watchmen character? Bah.

That Silk Spectre cover is beautiful though.


Len Wein was kind of...the lead editor on the original Watchmen <_<

He also created Swamp Thing.

JMS does have some great work out there. Fingers crossed.

From: ShadowHalo17 | #049
What the...

I'm really not sure what to think of this.

But where is Scarecrow?!

I reads the last 4 issues of Dark Knight last night actually, and they really weren't too bad. Much better than DTEC, which I also caught up on.

HOW HORRIFYING

Actually wasn't there some news on a story arc Scarecrow was getting? I think I remember hearing something about it but I can't remember what it was. Maybe it's not actually a thing.

That Scarecrow image is from the Dark Knight?

Hmm. Not sure if I like. He seems more scary I guess, but then again... my fondness for him has never been about his appearance (since it changed a lot anyway). It's the potential for him to deliver such a great psychological mind f*** that compels me to love him so much.

Alright, here's the lowdown.


Joe Harris takes over Firestorm in a month, with EVS doing art. This is very, very good.
Ann Nocenti takes over Green Arrow in 2 weeks (damn 5th wednesday), also very good

The rest are in May. Jeff Lemire is taking over Justice League Dark. Matt Kindt is taking over Frankenstein, apparently he's kind of been ghost writing it the whole time anyways. Peter Milligan is on Stormwatch. Gregg Hurwitz (Penguin) is on Dark Knight, awesome. Tom DeFalco on Legion Lost. Josh Williamson on Voodoo.

Rob Liefeld on Hawkman, Grifter, and Deathstroke.....yeah....

Batman, Animal Man, and Teen Titans are getting Annuals in May.

OMAC, Men of War, Mister Terrific, Blackhawks, Static Shock, and Hawk and Dove are cancelled. These are replacing them.

He's only in the very end of #4 and the beginning of #5, but I thought he had a good showing here.

Jenkins has been doing a solid job of working Finch's extremely stupid concept from the first issue into a decent story, as best as he can with what he has to work with.

Also, Batman eats ice cream.

Jenkins took over writing? Not familiar with that writer actually. Well maybe I'll still give it a shot. Will he still be on when the next arc starts? Maybe that's when it'll actually get better.

Jenkins is on until #7, then Winnick on #8, then Hurwitz takes on after that. Finch only wrote #1.

Jenkins wrote DC Universe Presents: Deadman, which was good. He's gonna be doing some filler on Stormwatch before Milligan comes on board. Speaking of DCUP, the new story on that from DiDio, Challengers of the Unknown just started, and it's....meh. But starting in may, Robinson will be doing a Vandal Savage story, which should be cool.

I never checked out Dark Knight other than previews since it seemed skippable, and I'm reading a lotta Bat books. I'll check out the stand alone Owls issue though and give it another shot with the new writer.

Speaking of Avengers vs X-Men, at first I wasn't that into it but now I'm feeling it, the previews look good, I'm pumped. And also the side fights book AvX versus with those two 10 page fights per issue, at first seemed kinda silly, now I kinda appreciate the straightforward hilarity of it. I'm on board for these 18 (19 with #0) issues of random fightin', hopefully there's a story too.

WTF bendis. Anyways *SPOILERS FOR Secret Avengers 23, UXF 22, and AA 26*



Secret Avengers 23 was nice but blah clifhanger ending. *hopes Ant-man doesn't die*
UXF 22 still has not that great art. Story was pretty well done though. I really like what Remender is doing with the world and Weapon Plus. Skinless man looks like a very interesting villain.
Avengers Academy 26 was very damn good about the entire superheroes are good or not thing. Giantman's speech and then Reptil's speech damn. My fav panel was the one with Butterball about being a hero. Butterball you so funny. X-23's Ha no to research was good also. I dunno if I really like the new White Tiger though. Right now she seems to be a little bit trying too hard IMO. and dammit Gage stop with the not flat-out cliffhanger endings that compel me to read more. DAT LAST PAGE. Giant-man as the Watcher O_o. Also dat letter page. I don't understand the guy who said he wouldn't read it but I am very impressed with how he said it. And Gage's response. It is nice to see a political disagreement staying completely civil.

Also, I just gotta say, while I'm preferring DC, X-Men is pretty groovy these days hell yes. And I like how X-Men Legacy ties into Wolverine and the X-Men, those along with Uncanny X-Men we've got a really solid three X-Men books to read. (Greg Land on half the arcs not withstanding)

Also I might hop back onto the adjectiveless X-Men book with the Vampires and vampire Jubilee stuff. Aaand I've never read Avengers: Children's Crusade, but I gotta read those 9 issues (9th one hits sometime soon apparently) since the Scarlett Witch stuff ties into Avengers vs X-Men apparently. Oh yeah, and of course Uncanny X-Force.

Lotta X-books.
