To be honest my comic book knowledge comes mostly from cartoons from my childhood and small amount from what I've been told online.

Judge Dredd interests me and I might be looking into Thor.

Not sure on anything else to be honest.

Expect my posts to have a bazillion edits. I miss out letters, words, sometimes even entire sentences in my points and posts.

Judge Dredd also interests me, but finding a true to timeline collection of Dredd stories is rather difficult over here in Texas.

I was joking. The new Dark Knight series is a David Finch project that's on issue 2 that's being rebooted.

What exactly did Frank Miller do to piss you off (besides The Spirit - Bad Movie )

Yeah, but that's All-Star Batman. He's not the real Batman.

He's Frank Miller's Batman.

Frank Miller is a misogynistic nut who can't write worth a damn anymore because he's eternally stuck in sin city mode.

I find if you distinguish between the two it's fine. It's not like he "ruined" Batman because he's like an elseworlds Batman. It's like Ultimate Captain America (he's kinda an a-hole).

Anyways, Jubilee's a Vampire. Just saying.

Well, if you put it that way, no, he didn't ruin Batman. He just wrote a horrible, horibble comic and called it Batman.

That's like someone would make a terrible, terrible movie and cast Anrold Schwarzenegger in the role of the scientist with the broken heart.

Miller's THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS and BATMAN: YEAR ONE are great!

But the sequel to THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS?

Eh... not so good...

ALL-STAR BATMAN?

Yeah, not so much.

I wouldn't be sad if it never finished, to be honest.

..some of those are well out of left field, and some are sounding very tasty indeed. I'm fairly certain that some of these are intended to just be mini series, to help establish the new background and setting.

And he calls Miller's Batman Crazy Steve? I'm ok with that. He seems to prefer "The GodDamn Batman" but Crazy Steve seems to do a better job of seperating the two.

The idea was that it's so unlike batman that it had to have been some crazy homeless guy that stumbled into the bat cave.

I would look at the anthology/multiple character books as being your best bet IMO.


http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2011/06/08/the-next-generation-of-justice/

.. well the LoS books sound alright, and Wildfire, Dawnstar, Timberwolf and Gates are pretty much my favourite characters so that's a buyer.

The teen Titans look very ...odd..... indeed. Hmm.. what ? Who...?


Spoiler:
Rob Liefield is drawing Hawk and Dove again ! ..well... it's gutsy anyway.


http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2011/06/07/dc-embraces-its-dark-side/

a lot of these sound quite cool though ..guess this does rule out a Zatanna solo series for now though... ho hum...

Rob Liefield...

I don't understand how he continues to get work at any company that he doesn't at least part own.

Anyway, I'm guessing they will go to the (M) Hawk and (F) Dove combo?

I guess I'm a bit partial to the hawk and dove I read about in Blackest Night... I wonder how much they're gonna change from that.

Wonder which ones to look at? The industry doesn't do a very good job of making it very easy to keep up with, if you're trying to follow a specific character that doesn't have their own book.

Hell even Birds of Prey had a lot of really damned annoying tie-ins with other comics. So I read a story, and then bam, it's resolved elsewhere. Well you know what DC? FETH YOU TOO. I'm not getting that comic, and I'm hating you for doing this to me so often.

no more underpants outside the suit then ?

Like the Supergirl one aside from the hideous boots.

.. no idea about Superboy.. is this the same character who is in the teen Titans book ?

Bit unsure over the armouresque nature of Superman's costume...
