DC Comics 2024 News/General Discussion

guh...Absolute Power hasn't even started and I already want it over with.

[Garrac]

i supose a climax with Amanda Waller as villain was due, but I think that was a story that was being cooked by Tom Taylor, or, on deference, would have fitted better with the current Wonder Woman run. But either way, it was too early to tell it.

What did Kirkman do with Invincible that can't be done with Superman?

Is it the gore? The mature themes? Why can't Superman be like Invincible?

Nevermind. Don't reply.

ID this gonna be the new Justice League line-up? (Considering they are all the heroes spotlighted in the main covee plus Nightwing) Certainly seems uninspired.

Interesting. If that's the case, then it seems like DC no longer wants a POC to be in the lineup. Not allowed I guess. And no, the Martian Manhunter doesn't count.

I don't like a single one of those designs.

This will be one of the easiest skips I have ever had for an event.

I think it's one of those designs that looks good when their original artist draws them but hideous if it's anybody else.

Happens a lot with Dan Mora designs tbh.

Looks good. Part of me wonders if the new universe diverges from Earth 0 somehow. But I'm just guessing.

This is not a new universe, it's just a new event that happens the main Earth.

[D.Z]

This is not a new universe, it's just a new event that happens the main Earth.

The event leads into the new universe.

[Morgoth]

I have a feeling, that Council of Light, or, to be more precise spoilers:

Council of Brainiacs or whatever that thing is,

end of spoilers is going to set-up the new universe.

[Frontier]

I picked up Poison Ivy to see those Jessica Fong covers. The writing seemed to fall off after the original 6 issues but those cool and creepy covers kept me hooked.

If Artgerm or Sejic did covers for 25 issues straight, I would have done the same. The artist marcio Takara was great too.

Writers keep making Harley comics a comedy. I haven't read a single Issue where she's taken seriously. Harleen did so well but the new writers didn't pick up on it.

PI will do well as long as her writers don't turn her into cartoon. Harley is beyond saving at this point.

The Stephanie Phillips run could get serious...sometimes.

All thé details for Absolute power in July with some changes. For example Mark Waid dont write all the tie-ins.

Honestly my initial reaction when i see the focus IS on the JL Big Seven IS : It's too soon. Too soon to put the classic JL back in action.

And it will be sad if in the End, the roster of th new JL title will be the Big Seven.

Funny to Saw the JSA on a tie-ins, and Zardsky and Tom Kong write tie-ins for the évent.

So we've got:

- Shazamily vs the Superman Amazo.

- John Ridley doing Amanda Waller's origin.

- Doom Patrol + Aquaman. Also, the throne is stolen? Did Aquaman even get it back and now he has to get it again!?

- JSA + Star Sapphire.

- Superman teaming-up with Zatanna (Jamal Campbell returns!)

ID this gonna be the new Justice League line-up? (Considering they are all the heroes spotlighted in the main covee plus Nightwing) Certainly seems uninspired.

Is this supposed to be the League compensating for losing their powers or abilities?

Also, is that Barry? The other Mora cover looks it's him too.

I really hope John Ridley's Waller book is good.

The Justice League of Amazos looks like goofy fun, but I'll be pretty disappointed if this event finally brings back the JLA just to do another "Big Seven" lineup.

I hope it's "The Other History of the DCU" Ridley and not "Black Panther" Ridley.

I think this is going to be like Metal where it's just an event with the Big Seven at the forefront (and maybe mostly the Trinity) and not indicative of the current JL lineup.

Dan Mora draw a good WW challenge (impossible).

I know Mora's style isn't to your taste, but I don't really see anything wrong with that interpretation of Diana.

guh...Absolute Power hasn't even started and I already want it over with.

It feels very Saturday Morning Cartoon with the robot versions of the JL.

[Gaius]

It's drab Warrior Woman sludge.

Interesting. If that's the case, then it seems like DC no longer wants a POC to be in the lineup. Not allowed I guess. And no, the Martian Manhunter doesn't count.

I’m also sick of the team having just one woman.

[Frontier]

It's drab Warrior Woman sludge.

I think of it more like when she'd occasionally resort to a sword and shield when she had instead of treating it like her de-facto arsenal.

Still 100x better looking than the David Finch suit.

I’m also sick of the team having just one woman.

I mean, it's not really a "team" just the Big Seven being players in an event.

Can we not jump to a whole bunch of conclusions so prematurely?
