Im on the same page as you. He dropped doing a fun as hell Defenders comic using the same characters as the Netflix show so he could come potentially screw up Superman.Your mistake was thinking you can escape Bendis.
...
On a mroe sserious note, why does anyone think he should do any books that aren't about street level heroes? Did i miss something?
I feel like he’s kind of lost it even with street level heroes at this point. It’s sad.Your mistake was thinking you can escape Bendis.

His Action Comics #1000 story was very BMB in its dialog, but his DC Nation story read very different. I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t get a movie vibe at all though.I didn't read his Action Comics #1000 story, but I did read his DC Nation #0 story.
It feels like the Donner movie. That probably isn't how Bendis will stay with writing it, but for these few pages, it's eerily in line with that version of the characters. I'd love it if not for all the growth the Super family has gone through in the past two years.
Clark's timidity was exaggerated to that point and Perry White's only difference is he's not chomping on a cigar. Maybe it was mostly Perry giving me that vibe since he has like 75% of the dialogue. But yeah, I was pleasantly surprised too. If my comics budget hadn't just been tightened, I'd at least be checking out Action Comics, but I need to save my pull list money availability for the new Justice League books and whatever Kelly Thompson projects are coming this summer.His Action Comics #1000 story was very BMB in its dialog, but his DC Nation story read very different.

That story would have been 10x better if joker let the dude liveIt's weird that Tom King's Joker story was the least interesting one in DC Nation for me. Maybe because it didn't do anything unexpected. I'm much more hyped for No Justice now than before.
Right, because the whole time you know he's going to. The only part that stuck out was the guy saying he couldn't stand the tension anymore and just asking Joker to kill him, and then Joker talking him down. And not in a fake way, but in a genuine way. But even that didn't fool me into thinking Joker was going to let him live.That story would have been 10x better if joker let the dude live
I’d say I’m shocked but after the first few months Gerard Way became completely incapable of getting Doom Patrol out on a regular basis and it was impacting the other books he was supposed to be overseeing as well.Legion of Doom is forming in DC Comics
I may have to find room in my comics budget for Scott Snyder's Justice League.
I liked some of his early Batman run, but didn't like where it went, so I was writing him off. Then I read Wytches, loved it, thought maybe he was just a good horror writer. Then I read his Swamp Thing run, loathed it. Read Dark Nights: Metal and Batman: The Black Mirror, liked them both. So I think the issue isn't Snyder' it's that I can't stand the New 52.
Selling point on this is that he has a two-year plan for Justice League. I like when the writer has a plan and I'm pretty sure DC won't get in the way. It's also nice to know there will be arcs focused on single characters, as opposed to Every Issue Must Focus on Everyone. Also that it's continuing off of Metal, and will wrap into JL Dark and JL Odyssey, which I'm already planning to read ... I'm sold.
I guess I'll have budget room because of DC's bad news today.
The Young Animal imprint is cancelled. All books end in August except Doom Patrol, which will keep going after yet another hiatus. I love Shade the Changing Girl/Woman. It's a brilliant, melancholy book that reads like a long poem. At least it'll have a proper ending though, as should the other Young Animal books.
Me too! Especially with the whole Vertigo revitalization underfoot plus DC's other imprints. Maybe they should just do them as OGNs. That would take some of the pressure off Way since he can't get Doom Patrol out on time to save his life.I’d say I’m shocked but after the first few months Gerard Way became completely incapable of getting Doom Patrol out on a regular basis and it was impacting the other books he was supposed to be overseeing as well.
I do find it surprising that they’re not rolling some of them into Vertigo.
Ahem... "GODDESS MODE from writer Zoë Quinn". They already know.DC is bringing back their Vertigo imprint.
Hell. Yes. Vertigo was like Image today: a cornucopia of quality books. And I'm digging the line up of diverse books with interesting, political themes. And giving newer talent a chance. This is all stuff that defined Vertigo and I absolutely can't wait.
I'll bet you anything these books will have Comicsgaters frothing at the mouth. Which makes this announcement all the sweeter.
Yeah. It's unfortunate that since GamerGate died off, she's jumping into similar "Gate" waters. I guarantee they'll not only target her but blame her for the other titles. She'll be their scapegoat for this new line of Vertigo books.Ahem... "GODDESS MODE from writer Zoë Quinn". They already know.
Holy shit. I mean, yeah.Fuck. The. New York. TIMES!
