[QUOTE=G-Potion;4419094]Do we know for sure who are going to be featured in those books?[/QUOTE]
Jason pulls out a Thriller dance number with a bunch of zombies, scaring Damian and Jon with how "80s" it is. Dick sings the Monster Mash, and Tim raids the local coffee shop.

Do you mean Talia's Leviathan or the group around the new character Leviathan?
I'm still too confused about the whole Event Leviathan stuff to associate anything with it.

Huh, that would actually sort of connect his Wingman ID with Leviatan. Even if Jason was with Bruce when he was wearing that suit during that story arc. Good one, @Arsenal.
Other question: Should we change the schedule of the Re-read Thread? Any suggestions?
I'm starting my summer job next week, and will also finish some project, so I'll be able to return to the reading group regularly soon. I'll go with whatever you decide in the end :).

[QUOTE=Arsenal;4408604]Reiser reminds me of a smaller, slimmer Doomsday.[/QUOTE]
Oh, snap Reiser's back! I loved Lobdell's [I]Doomed[/I]! Lobdell was really going for the long-haul and playing the long game with that book. It sucked that it ended so abruptly and with so much of the groundwork that was laid down unexplored and un-flourished.
He really is bringing back some of everyone! Would be nice if there was a way he could stealth progress Reiser's story, but that's me being greedy, I admit.
But Reiser's one of the new villain trainees? Why he made Reiser evil?! TT__TT
(I'm being so lazy now, and just still so behind...)
[QUOTE=Aahz;4409240]With Lobdell bringing Bunker and Doomed back I'm wondering if he will bring also Skitter back.[/QUOTE]
That would be cool! She needs some love, and a reappearance would be nice to give her just that. It's still surreal that Bunker's back and that Doomed is actually being used again ('tho why he a villain Lobdell; I wish someone could ask him that on social media for me).
Also, since Reiser has a chance, I would love to see his best friend and (old?) roommate Roman (aka, Alpha Centurion, who should still be possessing him) return, too. (Roman's story was also cut short and never fully realized...)
[QUOTE=Sergard;4409381]
Good to know. I thought these are all new characters. But I'm cool with Lobdell bringing already existing characters back. Especially since he created them himself, so they won't be written out of character. Now I really hope that Bunker is still around. He and Reiser already know each other, right?[/QUOTE]
I'm happy Lobdell is bringing them back, too. Although in Reiser's case, it's weird he's with a group of youngsters who are being trained to be new villains... That feels pretty out of character for how Lobdell wrote him in his own book. Plus, by the 5th/6th issue, he was starting to gain control of his powers and form, so to see he's regressed (seemingly, based on the solicitations) is kinda sad.
And Bunker and Doomed should know each other, or at least should know [I]of[/I] each other. Reiser wasn't on the team for too long before returning to Metropolis, but they should remember each other.
YES! He looks great!
@D J. Guy (MInd if I go with @Guy, for short?), don't worry. I wouldn't stress much about Reiser (or any other of them), not yet in any case. It seems to me that solicits tend to be overdramatic and lie a little bit; and besides, Lobdell could soft-rebooting the character a little bit for reintroduction.
I still think he's going to try some Thuderbolts-esque group with this, but with the teens being strainght antagonistic and gray. I don't know why, but it gives me that vibe.

I agree. I think the teens here are going to be more gray and antagonistic rather than straight up evil. Sort of like Jason himself. I'm getting a "Jason trains these guys to be more than villains" vibe from this in all honesty. It feels very much like when Deathstroke asked Dick to train Rose back in the day. I could see Jason stealth teaching them to be, if not heroes, then at least something closer to anti-heroes rather than a straight up villains. We have to remember that Jason doesn't ordinarily care for villains and other baddies either and has on various occasions wanted them dead. I'm guessing he's planning to undermine things from the inside and this is just a way for him to get closer to his goal.
Edit: I'm also very glad to see Reiser again. I loved Doomed and was sad when it was cancelled. I'm with JD in that I hope this is a way to push his story along as well although I'm not expecting it.
I’d b shocked if Jason doesn’t have some kind of hidden objective by agreeing to train the new kids, be it turn them into anti-heroes, get them somewhere safe or planning to turn them against the forces of Doom.
Maybe Reiser was negatively influenced by the collapse of the source wall, so that he loses control of his powers more often.
The same is maybe true for Bunker's new black bricks - could be a positive power-up.
All in all I agree with the others. Those kids don't look like villains. They maybe look a little rough but they also have to protect a little baby. And Jason doesn't look like the nice guy from next door in his MK outfit.

I put the thread on hiatus, at least for a week. End of June is a little stressful for me. But I'd like to continue in July. And maybe until then we have found a better schedule.
And on another note: I've read "The Back-up" (part of Batman Annual #12) yesterday. It's an eight-page story about Jason's school life.
I didn't know that Jason had friends at school (Jason calls them friends in other panels). Were those three ever mentioned in other stories?
And it seems like Jason would have liked to join drama club but didn't because Robin was more important.

I guess that's fine. Although without the "J. D.", 'Guy' doesn't have as much character. :p Maybe try JD or J.D. or whathaveyou. :)
Perhaps I'm worrying over nothing, true, since it could just be solicit hype/exaggeration. It's just that I really enjoyed Lobdell's [I]Doomed[/I]. I'm happy to see Reiser again under Lobdell, but I worry that the nuance he was setting up with the character will be lost in transition (accident or purposefully), since this is primarily Jason's story and isn't Reiser's . (Reimaginings/soft-reboots aren't uncommon, but Reiser is someone I feel just needs a reintroduction, and not so much a re-imagining/soft-reboot.)
I'm curious as to how a legit Thunderbolts analogue would work. (I wouldn't count Suicide Squad as one, personally.)

Would be interesting, assuming Lobdell would want to go in that direction and reference the Source Wall's collapse.
And I just really noticed Reiser's new Doomed design. Probably why I never even realized it was him in last month's RH:O solicits. The only reason I know it is him now is because the newest solicits refer to him by name.
Originally, Reiser's Doomed form was crimson red with radioactive green highlights like his hands, eyes, and acid. Now, he's this chalky gray color that makes him look more like Doomsday (though still with kryptonite-green highlights/contrasts). Before, he referenced Doomsday, but had a design that allowed him to be iconic to his own self.
Also, it's funny for anyone who's read [I]Doomed[/I], but it seems Reiser finally found some clothes that don't disinterested upon transformation! XD (He used to be naked whenever he transformed back, but now he's got some tailor-made, erosion-proof shorts w/belt.)

Jason doing his homework in the batcave is such a nice touch. It emphasizes the point that Jason cares about school but puts Robin first. I also love Bruce' #1 Superhero mug and that Jason drinks a glass of milk (could be water but I prefer to think that it's milk). That reminds me of Detective Comics #570 when Jason orders milk in a bar and doesn't realize that he's talking with a prostitute.

To be honest I'm not all that surprised that Reiser ended up being under Lex's purview seeing as how Lex is one of Superman's main enemies. I could see someone like Lex being very interested in someone like Reiser and wanting to study him. I could also see him trying to "infect" Doomed with something from the Dark Multiverse. It makes a lot of sense to me anyway.

Yeah, I noticed the new design as well. Not sure if I like it or not. I'm gonna have to see it in action so to speak before making a decision. He does look a bit to much like Doomsday for my tastes though. At least this time he seems to have some clothes that don't get ripped apart every time he transforms so I count that as a win.
However I am very happy to see Jason taking on this type of role, which I think will be very good for him. We already know for his dealings with Biz (and the other Outlaws for that matter) that he has the goods to be a decent big brother/mentor/leader. I'm excited to see it now.
Also some much great fan art. Thanks to all who take the time to find them. I appreciate it.
@Segard: I loved "The Back-Up" but then again I love seeing these sort of slices of life outside of hero work in comics and wish there were more of them in modern comics at least from time to time anyway. I really liked how much Jason loved school in these excerpts. I'd forgotten about some of them.
