    Bendis comics take place in an alternate universe where everybody was replaced by the aliens from Invasion of the Body Snatchers which is why they all sound like one person talking.

    So wait Ram V's JLD is only a backup.

    And is that another incarnation of Shining Knight?

    That's my first guess, yeah. There's already Sir Justin in the 1940s of Infinite Frontier #0 but their back story is different.

    Sir Justin is the newest member of the Round Table and was frozen through time after his last fight, awakened in the 1940s.

    This one, Ser Elnara, never became Knight of The Round but stayed behind in an eternal watch.

    The New 52 version, if still canon, Sir Ystin, was found by Merlin dying in the battlefield and given immortality, but as far as I know she never showed up in the present day, only went as far as the middle ages.

    So all three can be Shining Knight for different era.

    Is that narration Green Arrow?

    Is Isis canon for Black Adam again?

    I already can't take this new threat seriously with that dialogue.

    Do we need another Shining Knight?

    It's Bendis. This **** goes back to his days at Marvel when he used to think he got paid by the word, and it's clear that annoying mindset hasn't changed now that he's employed by the Distinguished Competition. Two words from me about this book----hard pass.

    Yeah, and Hawkgirl, I presume.

    I don't know the lore, but Isis will appear in Black Adam movie so I guess that's your answer

    At first I thought that demon is the one he torched in Infinite Frontier #0 but now I remember that one happened in Egypt, and this one grace the cover so yeah not very inspiring

    Actually I was talking about them combining too many logos into one, but the amount and placement of the text bothers me too. I feel like I can appreciate the shape of the combined logo more if those captions aren't smack dab in the middle of the pic.

    The Titans look good on that pic.

    This Justice League book will probably sell like hotcakes like New Avengers did.

    Bendis kinda patting himself on the back for getting rid of the Superman’s secret identity.

    "Look guys, I made Superman more relatable because he doesn't have a civilian life or double-identity! Even though I'm having a character who ostensibly has a secret identity be the one to praise it" .

    I mean, I get why he's having Ollie of all people say it but it feels kind of mouth-piece-y.

    Can I just say ... I may have missed it showing up before but that iconography of all the logo's is ... really busy and ... not that great to my eye.

    I can already tell I'm gonna have to remove myself from any fandom discourse regarding this book.
    THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki

    also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.

    currently following:
    • DC: Red Hood: The Hill
    • Marvel: TBD
    • Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force

    No the whole thing about Superman identity make sense. To the average people Superman feels distant as someone who's good and powerful but alien and unknown. Knowing that he walks among us as a humble reporter, working a day job like the average person, gives a sense of familiarity, and now that he doesn't have a secret identity, people can say he's the real deal. He has nothing to hide.

    Green Arrow would get that because as a billionaire, from the point of view of average people, he feels distant as well.
