Technically it's just a new sub-site for the existing DCU Source Blog, but it gets the job done and will be updating with new news and info. There's even a handy video! If you're not reading comics now but are even minutely interested, this is going to be the absolute best chance to do so, with series' relaunching and focusing on accessible stories for newcomers, and online day-and-date digital distribution at a lower cost. JUMP ON. -- ~LtM http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/1028/ltm.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

People should read comics. It's the cool thing to do nowadays.

As it stands right now, there are 5 comics I'm interested in. Would be 6, but I didn't see Batman Inc.

Batman Inc is confirmed to be returning IIRC. I think it's taking a month off for the launch.
What titles, if I may ask? -- ~LtM http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/1028/ltm.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

From: RayDyn | #003 You can't read Batman, Inc. without reading the rest of Morrison's run as well. -- ~Halo Time to rock, Scott Pilgrim style. http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/907/bandfinisher.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

The Lantern comics and Justice League, I'm considering Justice League International, and I'll probably get into a couple of the Batman comics and maybe Hawkman (one of my friends favorite characters and I'm kinda curious what the big deal is.) I've never been a big Superman fan, but you never know, I might get the first issues of a few others just because.

You should read Morrison's Action Comics for Superman at least, the man can do no wrong.
Red Hood and the Outlaws also looks like a really great book. Based on an interview today I would also recommend looking into Blue Beetle. Personally, I'm giving everything at least one try. There are only 2 I can think of that are completely dead on release. -- ~LtM http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/1028/ltm.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

OMAC, and Mr. Terrific. Dan DiDio has no business writing, and Eric Wallace completely ruined The Titans.

Dan DiDio writing is almost as bad as Joe Quesada writing.
At least DiDio doesn't try it as often -- ~Halo Light is my darkness. http://a.imageshack.us/img443/8466/shadowhalo.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

KimPilgrim 06/30/11 8:07:00 PM #12: |
Hawkman isn't boring, Halo has never reads Hawkman before and he's just being a dumb dumb for the fun of it. Geoff Johns had a great Hawkman run.
And I may have to say Detective Comics is looking dead in the water as well. With all the great writing Batman has had in recent years from the likes of Morrison and Snyder, Daniel just comes off as extremely boring and generic, and he's been on Batman for years now. -- ~LtM http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/1028/ltm.png ...

KimPilgrim 06/30/11 8:08:00 PM #13: |
Dan DiDio is like "I'm bored. Nobody is reading Outsiders, maybe I'll dick around there" and it's no big deal.
Queseda is all "I'M FIXING SPIDERMAN. DEALS WITH THE DEVIL. BRICKS TO THE HEAD." -- ~LtM http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/1028/ltm.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

ShadowHalo17 06/30/11 8:10:00 PM #14: |
From: KimPilgrim | #013 Exactly my point. I'll definitely be reading Detective Comics because it's Batman and I don't mind Tony Daniel. He's certainly nowhere near the best, but he's decent at the very least. I'm also definitely not reading Hawk and Dove because f***ing Liefeld. -- ~Halo Live, fight, survive, as a family. http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/7469/batfamily.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

KimPilgrim 06/30/11 8:11:00 PM #15: |
Sterling Gates is still a great writer.
And Liefeld is at least AMUSING rather than annoying. -- ~LtM http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/1028/ltm.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

Oh I didn't even notice Gates there. Well... Still not enough to get me to read something with terrible LIEFELD art. I just can't handle it. And I don't particularly care about Hawk and Dove either.

Mister Terrific is going to be horrendous, seriously. That is the #1 guaranteed garbage book in that lineup.

I read the first issue, and then saw that part of the story was written by Stephen King, so I lost interest right there. Is his part of the story important at all?

The Stephen King parts are at the end of each issue during the first arc. It's just a very short section about people's reactions to someone telling the main story 30ish years later to a room full of people. There isn't any Stephen Kingness to it at all.

I feel kind of bad that I'm not really interested in any of the Edge/Dark titles besides Suicide Squad and maaaaaybe JLD. Oh and Stormwatch I guess but I don't even know what that IS.

Stormwatch is composed of characters from the Wildstorm team The Authority. And Martian Manhunter. All I know about it is those 2 dudes are gay and dating.
Frankenstein and Animal Man are the 2 "Dark" titles you should be interested in most. Can't say much about Edge. -- ~LtM http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/1028/ltm.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm potentially interested in the comics focusing on:
The Justice League (just the main two comics) The Flash Green Lantern Batman (just the ones focusing on Batman and maybe Nightwing) Superman (just the ones focusing on Superman) that looks like a lot (15ish) comics though, which is probably more than I have time for. -- http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2636/ivotedphoenixyi0.png ...

Godlike Pyg story first, then crummy Red Hood story, then awesome Batwoman Zombie Batman with Cameron Stewart arrtwork, then pretty good arc that has its moments, to godlike Hurt/Pyg/Joker story.

The Batwoman story was my favorite there.
"Can I call you back? I'm in the middle of a *****in' team-up." Or something to that effect. When I say latter half I guess I really just mean the last story. And I'm not a fan of how Morrison does Jason Todd. -- ~LtM http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/1028/ltm.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

From: KimPilgrim | #040 Whoa don't get carried away there. I agree that Tomasi's story was good, but no freakin' way does he come close to anything Morrison has done.
