  - He has been around for a long time. One of the world's smartest men. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:39 7

All kidding aside, after Countdown and Final Crisis, why did people have any faith in DC anyway? - David Jun 2, 09:29 5
- To your IM: I'd rather read just about anything from DC than Marvel at this point. Marvel is just depressing and dark and awful. -- nm - TWuG Jun 2, 09:37 1
  - Marvel is the new DC. DC is the new Marvel. -- nm - Mop (202 lbs) Jun 2, 09:38
- We kept hoping someone would stop Didio. But he just got more and more power. Now, nothing can stop him! -- nm - Mop (202 lbs) Jun 2, 09:30 2
  - Mind you, I just reread Infinite Crisis #4 last night (the one where Superboy Prime loses it and kills a bunch of heroes). - Mop (202 lbs) Jun 2, 09:32 1
    - Ah, Superboy Prime. There's another disastrous character. -- nm - David Jun 2, 09:46
LYC: I had a major geek-out moment last night while playing Dead Space 2 - Strongbad Jun 2, 09:27 4

    - yep. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 2, 09:44
So glad I stopped buying comics a few years ago. Sometimes I miss them, and then something like this happens and I don't miss them as much. -- nm - sycor Jun 2, 09:24
I don't feel like playing soup roulette today. I can just have chicken corn chowder, right? - amanda jones Jun 2, 09:24 1
- *cry* I was ready with "Top Row, Third from Left"!!! -- nm - TWuG Jun 2, 09:27
Remlik/Spawn: I don't read comics, so can give a 30 second synopsis of why this DC "reboot?" is angering people? -- nm - MDH Jun 2, 09:23 5
- Because that thing that happened in that book you read when you were 12? Yeah, that thing is no longer considered sacrosanct and inviolate - TWuG Jun 2, 09:43
- Remember all your memories of great DC comicbooks? No you don't cause none of them happened. -- nm - Beaker Jun 2, 09:27
- Here. I just got the full details from DC. New titles and images, guys. Lo and behold. -- (link) - Mop (202 lbs) Jun 2, 09:24 2
  - But I don't get it. They are re-numbering the series, what does that mean? Everything starts over? -- nm - MDH Jun 2, 09:27 1
    - Supposedly scraping all past continuity and starting over. -- nm - Mop (202 lbs) Jun 2, 09:29
Hack Google? MOI?! I never! -- (link) - China Jun 2, 09:21 1
- *apologises to China* -- nm - Mattel Jun 2, 09:22
The local red robin has finally opened. I have heard this place is great, but have never been. - kelly Jun 2, 09:21 3
- worst hamburger I've ever eaten. -- nm - decline Jun 2, 09:24

        Obama won in 08 by running against W's record. That's just not going to be enough in 2012. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 2, 09:36

The woman who said Libyan security forces had raped her was in Qatar under protection of the UN high commissioner for refugees, when... - Mop (202 lbs) Jun 2, 09:08 3
- That's odd because Qatar has been very supportive of the Libyan rebels. -- nm - Roger More Jun 2, 09:14 1
  - that's why she was flown to Bengazi. She'll be alright -- nm - mud Jun 2, 09:38
- they needed the space to double check their bribe money for FIFA -- nm - Beaker Jun 2, 09:11

  - Karate? The Dane Cook of Martial Arts? -- nm - prayformojo Jun 2, 09:13 2
    - This is like O. Henry and Alanis Morissette had a baby and named it this exact situation. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 2, 09:17 1
      - COSPLAY ENTHUSIASTS!!! -- nm - David Jun 2, 09:24

How hard would it be for me to find Dan Dido so I can punch him in the face? - Spawn Jun 2, 08:57 44
- Okay, I will amend. I am dropping all DC books but Batman. - Spawn Jun 2, 09:25 7
  - Pusherman's pitch is already working! -- nm - loosilu Jun 2, 09:35
  - Already backsliding. Shameful. -- nm - David Jun 2, 09:28 2
    - The news is backsliding, as at first it wa a full reboot and now it is (or may be) something less. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:29 1
      - That's it. Blame the liberal media. - David Jun 2, 09:30
  - yeah Supes looks alot younger in the pics I've seen -- nm - Beaker Jun 2, 09:26 2
    - I am serious, Smallville contributed to this crap. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:28 1
      - No doubt. Every time there's a new TV series, movie or cartoon, the comic suffers. - Mop (202 lbs) Jun 2, 09:38
- You're not alone. I feel a pit in my stomach like a pet died or something. - Mop (202 lbs) Jun 2, 09:02 33
  - maybe they can finally just make Robin gay and get over with it. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 2, 09:11 4
    - Batwoman is gay. - Spawn Jun 2, 09:14 3
      - Has her series even shipped?. -- nm - TWuG Jun 2, 09:28 2
        
        It looks like it was done by my friend Stu, which is not my thing at all, so I have no idea. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:30 1
        
        If these trends continue, ayyyyy! -- nm - David Jun 2, 09:31
  - I plan on re-assessing everything when the September Previews hits. But I expect to pick up - TWuG Jun 2, 09:08 6
    - If this is an attempt to clean up continuity, it'll last 6 months before some bozo writer digs up an old story that shouldn't exist. - Mop (202 lbs) Jun 2, 09:11 5
      - Are you under the impression that they are chucking everything? I'm not. - TWuG Jun 2, 09:18 3
        
        That's worse that adhering strictly to continuity. Because now you have to remember some stuff but forget other stuff. - Mop (202 lbs) Jun 2, 09:28
        
        Reboot means restart. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:20 1
        
        ... so I guess it all depends on what they are going to make that mean. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:21
      - Exactly. No crippled Oracle, no dead Robins... -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:18
  - Thanks. It is kinda odd that JMS was how I heard. What they did to his Spider-Man deleted those books from my universe. - Spawn Jun 2, 09:05 20
    - Anything that results in JMS's stuff being deleted from continuity is a solid plus in my book. - TWuG Jun 2, 09:10 8
      - Jim Lee's new Justice League cover still has Wonder Woman wearing pants. I'm concerned. -- nm - Mop (202 lbs) Jun 2, 09:12 7
        
        Jim Lee shouldn't be allowed to design costumes. Ever. -- nm - TWuG Jun 2, 09:15 2
        
        Didn't he do the Catwoman redesign? - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 2, 09:31 1
        
        Every squirrel. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:32
        
        The collars thing is just stupid. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:13 3
        
        on some costumes it works and others it looks awful -- nm - Remlik Jun 2, 09:16 2
        
        They should jsut go ahead an out an "X" (or I guess a "J") on all their costumes and get it over with. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:17 1
        
        - "o" + "p" -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:17
    - His being so dismissive makes me sick. The whole "Oh, it doesn't matter what happens to characters right now..." - Mop (202 lbs) Jun 2, 09:10 10
      - Here's the thing, though: Comics are not growing in popularity. Not because of bad story telling, but because there's a wall - TWuG Jun 2, 09:14 8
        
        It ain't the wall of continuity for me...it's the fact there's not 1 book for a character; there's 6. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 09:17 3
        
        Yeah, that's very true. Not to mention that when they do "special events", there are a zillion books involved. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 2, 09:18 2
        
        If anything, I'm the anti-Twug...I like knowing that the characters have been around and are consistently story'ied. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 09:20 1
        
        The characters have *never* been consistently storied. Ever. - TWuG Jun 2, 09:26
        
        I don't think that 100 million exists any more. Going day-and-date digital is a genius approach to will make it more marketable and accessible. - Mop (202 lbs) Jun 2, 09:17
        
        An audience of 100 million? - Spawn Jun 2, 09:15 2
        
        Sure. I'm guessing there are that many who have an interest in Batman alone. If they can get an issue on their tablet, phone or computer for a small - TWuG Jun 2, 09:22
        
        dude is delusional -- nm - Beaker Jun 2, 09:20
      - Good point. Even if you are going to read in September, why throw away your money now? - Spawn Jun 2, 09:13
- At least he didn't steal your wife like that Final Crisis dude. -- nm - David Jun 2, 09:02
- Bright Side: Less time reading DC comics means more time to play Arkham City. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 2, 09:00
