    Parts of it have been absolute garbage. Others have been gold. Most somewhere in between.

    Like, Robin, the series, is gold.

    I'm liking the new direction quite a bit.
    I think publishing 4-6 issue mini-series is a smart way to put the spotlight on lower tier characters without the weight of trying to prop up a monthly title.
    Just gimme my second Flash book and I'll be happier than a pig in sh!t.

    I like that they're courting new readers with webtoon and OGN. Much more efficient than rebooting
    I like that they have multiple answers for continuity issues
    I hate that I have take account all of them one by one though when you know it's just some comic magic excuse, just so I can get immersed

    I don't really understand it, to be honest.

    DC's current direction does not seem that new to me.

    The individual parts feel better than the whole is my take. The overall universe is a mess but I'm currently enjoying what they are doing on Flash, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman titles.

    More importantly, who at DC understands it?

    I haven't been crazy about the majority of DC's output since Flashpoint. It's not for me. Occasionally if there's a creator I like I'll check it out, but there's a back catalog of thousands of comics from 1935 to 2011 I still have yet to read.

    I feel much the same way.

    The books I'm reading are, by and large, better than they've been in years. And we're getting a bunch of self-contained, stand-alone content in the form of mini's and Elseworlds and I really appreciate the variety. Plus we have a few things set in the past, like World's Finest, and it all allows for the more familiar status quo's to remain active and visible even as DC pushes forward with their newest legacy initiative.

    But somehow, despite having all these things that I've wanted for years, the DCU and publishing line as a whole feels weaker than the individual books I'm reading. Continuity isn't even a factor anymore, much less something that adds depth and dimension to the characters and their stories. There's far too many books focused on the big names (and that's mostly just Bats and to a lesser degree, Supes) while the C-list languishes.

    I think the line is pointed in the right direction. Absolutely. But the fact that it's been built on the unstable foundation of the last ten years does detract from it all, and makes some of the success seem less impressive.

    This. Individual books are great, but there’s no sense of an overall “goal” that the universe is working towards. Will be up to Dark Crisis to provide that.

    This right here.

    I'm not sure I could even identify a line-wide direction if asked, but I do know I love what's happening in Nightwing, Wonder Woman, Action Comics, and (so far) Aquamen.

    Well, I have not liked much of what DC has been up to since around 2011-2014. And now I am really enjoying 4 books and looking forward to more new stuff. So yes, for the first time in nearly a decade I am enjoying DC's new direction.
    Read The Flash#1 this September!

    According to my comic orders from 2021-2022, the only two DC series I've bought were Challenge of the Super Sons and Robin & Batman. Overall, I've really lost interest in what DC Comics has been doing. The line wide direction hasn't appealed to me since Heroes in Crisis butchered the good intentions of Rebirth and I've not been happy with the way DC's treated my favourite characters (Superman, Green Lantern, and Captain Marvel come to mind) I hear Jeremy Adams' Flash is an under the radar hit, and Zdarsky/Jiminez on Batman is a strong creative team. But I'm not looking forward to Dark Crisis at all as it includes many tropes in DC events I've grown to loathe over the years. Hopefully, other people are enjoying DC more than I am.
