#dccomics #batman #comicbooks - Розваги
I took my daughter and her friend to the comic shop today. I got her Batman Year One by Frank Miller. She was so excited. She got herself Robin Tim Drake book. She says Tim Drake is her favorite. I didn’t have the heart to tell her how they are ruining him right now.
Good man... or woman
Get her the Robin Compendium when it comes out.
Reminds me of the meme of you can't handle the truth
Why don’t you buy her a girl comic .. like Gwen Pool??
@laverdadescatolica5 you sound like the dudebros that tried to make me read WW instead of Green Lantern when i was 13, because "these are the girls comics"
I’m just so burnt out on DC. What’s the point in reading anything they publish when it all just gets rebooted in a few years anyway? No one knows what’s meant to be canon anymore and every relaunch of the DCU is headed by the same group of untalented leaders and awful writers. WB and DC just need to shut down the entire publishing line for a few years, have a complete clear out their writers and editors and have a set bible of characters and history of DC so new writers can work in those boundaries and we don’t get complete character annihilation.
I remember when Aaron had a fit when alan moore said there were no a-list writers...
DC reboot again and again and again using the same people for over a decade now.
Time for real fans to take over
In Scarlett #1 in the back Kelley ends her write up with Go Joe! Instead of Yo Joe!
I thought it might have been a typo, but now I'm not so sure.
Yup! I thought it was very telling.
Dude why are they always giving women characters girl writers? If we're being honest wonder woman is written better by men cause they don't focus on some dumb patriarchal bullshit.
Yeah, Wonder Woman is super boring when written by women
Tom King is not a woman and this is literally the worst WW I've ever read
@@chachi_arcolaTom King wants to be a woman.
Gender does not matter. Talent does. DC just doesn’t have any talented writers of either gender.
George Perez, Bill Loebs, John Byrne, Phil Jimenez, and Greg Rucka
They should call it "Absolute Apathy"
Just like Hollywood, virtue signaling is more important than actually getting results. I have no fucking idea why.
This is what I posted on Weird Science Comics when Jim reported it. I stand by what I say here. Ok so this is dead on arrival. Thompson on Wonder Woman...no. Aaron on Superman? Well based on what he did to Punisher I cringe at his possible ideas for Superman. Snyder on Batman...ok but I will be blunt that I think he told all he could on Batman with his 52 run. And that was dying toward the end. Nothing since been close to as good and Death Metal just ending up eating itself into oblivion with the inevitable sequel. I will also say this, NONE of these efforts for the last 40 years (attempting to create a fresh new universe devoid of long standing continuity history to garnish new fans) works long term. Inevitably the big name creators leave. Inevitably the "new universe" creates its own continuity that must be adhered to, or the stories get so radically different/inventive that the stories are no longer fitting the characters they are supposed to be created for. Or simply put the titles get bad or economics get in the way of the fans purchasing them. It always seems like a good idea but in the end you are back where you started with your original long standing fictional universe. Marvel's New Universe failed. The 1st run of Ultimate Universe failed. DC's Impact Comics failed. The point is DC should be taking these creators, and whatever ideas they have, and using them to bolster their failing sales on the characters they know have made them money in the past, present, and hopefully into the future. Sure DC will get a nice monetary pop from this, and it could go for a couple years or maybe little longer. But in the end you are going to end up in the same place. And I am open to discussing this too, but based on history, sales, and my experience as a retailer I don't see this ending up any other way. Jim...feel free to rebutt. And F-YOU TO BLEEDING COOL. I wish everyone would stop using that hacks sight. He is death for the industry and just breeds hate and mistrust. And Earth One was a solid idea, but it was a different kind of publishing and needed a different hand in working it.
I wonder if it's intentional that this next run is called "Absolute Power" and yet it's paired with an image of their most powerful icon in the most powerless state possible, the flying Man of Steel wounded and in freefall.
Everytime I see it it the thought comes up "it's probably intentional and someone thought they were very clever when they came up with idea to call the run where everyone loses their powers or special abilities as absolute power" "Absolute Coup d’état" would've been more like it.
My daughter and sons are into comics with me now. My daughter is 14 and just read Scarlett (my babygirl is a ginger so this was exciting for her). She was not happy. She asked w
"Why is Scarlett so hateful and in her superior officer's face?" (I am retired Army so she knows a lot about the military). I explained how it's the writer and she was only hired because ahe was a woman with all the right boxes checked. My daughter was so mad and said "There has too be some girl writers out there that aren't crazy and hate everything". I didn't have the heart to tell her.
Look this is my take.. I am not excited about the shuffling of writers. But this is a lot of fresh faces on new characters that they've never done. I trust the character of Superman in the hands of Jason. Aaron, who wrote the best Thor story I've ever read. I am very excited to see what DC is doing. You have to change the characters up and you have to give them fresh stories. When you take a character that is over 100 years old and you have told stories involving that character over and over again, it is hard to create something fresh without eventually changing up the character in some way. Can we at least wait and see what DC does before we s*** all over it?
I used to be a big fan of Snyder, but after hearing how he’s a massive coward it’s kind of soured me a bit on him, if I was reading comics I’d probably still buy his comics once they’re good. But isn’t Thompson terrible, what are they doing getting this comic?
I said it before and I'll say it again. This is what happens when you let actual talent go (Geoff Johns, Ivan Reis, etc) and replace them with people that shouldn't be writing comic books in the first place. These people can't write a story if their lives depended on it so they replace a plot with their political views thinking it will excuse it and they don't know the character's lore so they insert themselves through the character's eyes. So when it of course fails and they'll end up calling the fans 'toxic'
The Energon-Verse is easily the best reads in Comic Books right now but Scarlett felt off. I prefer Scarlett's Character over Destro (Jinx is my favorite GI JOE Heroine) but the Scarlett Book didn't deliver. Destro's on the other hand surprisingly was awesome
Snyder is the only name I have even a mild interest in reading. The other two are instant "pass" whenever I see their names on a cover of a comic. This idea that only a specific gender can write a comic (depending if the main character is male or female) is ludicrous. Any good writer can write either sex. Just being the same gender as the main character doesn't make the writing good.
Who's going to win most promotion of agendas of 2024 Disney or Warner?😂
Any artists on these books? Are they novels?
I started to collect silver comics instead XD 🤣
I have a feeling this is going to build towards some mega cross over next summer. Lame.
If the comic industry is this horrible, then I say quit buying comics and supporting shitty artists and writers. End of story.
Then buy the image/dynamite or kickstarter books.
@@lotsalube or check out the Rippaverse, Iconic Comics, Band of Bards, Antarctic Press, Manga and other Indie Comic Creators
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
This is going to be over before it even starts.
I'm fine with these concepts for Absolute (Universe?) It's the execution that matters to me. But, ultimately, the art is what matters to me more than the writing. I'll make my decision to read once I find out which artists are going to be on these books.
lol wut?
@@sodacan1415 lol huh?
It's so disheartening, seeing DC go down, like this. No excitement, at all, even from a long time DC fan. Starting a new initiative, putting subpar writers on the roster, still, and we're supposed to believe this'll be good reading? And knowing DC, EVEN IT IT HAPPENS TO BE GOOD, it'll follow the same pattern.
- 1 to 6 issues might be okay. Not awful or offensive, and remind you of when comics were good.
- Huge drop off, in quality, either due to new creative team, or the same one, just burned out, they've exhausted their one good idea
-Title will be handed to a wannabe activist, who finally kills the whole idea, and it fades away
They've got no, new tricks, they look to Marvel, who has no good ideas, either, and they fail, spectacularly. A lot of people have said that WBD should just pause all of it, in time to empty out the comic division, fire anyone who's been on the pseudo activist program, or just such a massive ego, that characters themselves are secondary, and come back with something new, that doesn't resemble what DC has been, for almost the last decade and half.
The thing about comic universes is, some people see it as bad, or played out, but I love that the DCU is a universe, that different characters can show up at another's wedding, that they can join in on adventures, with all of the past experiences in play. If Batman and Green Arrow meet up, what's happening in their solo books plays a part. I love that. But it comes with a drawback. If the universe, as a whole, is trash, nevermind the occasional decent book, sneaking by. If I'm liking a Superman book, the moment I look at the DCU, around him, I get terribly written, agenda filled trash, insufferable, useless characters, and events that are boring, at best. There's no turning back, unless they do something drastic. Erase all the nonsense, the gay retcons, the genre shifts, the damage done, to so many characters, and fire everyone who either wrote it, or stood around, while they all poured gasoline, on the DCU.
Then hire me! Or hire one of my friends. (Actually don't hire me.) If a woman must be hired I can list a bunch of pro novel writers and fans and a couple might not even be conservatarians.
Only none of them would put up with the bullship which is why they don't already work "in the industry."
San Diego Comic Con is NOT a comic con any more. There are very very very few retailers and dealers there any more. I have been there so I know of what I speak. They are using Diamond cause at least Diamond has experience doing this, where Lunar doesn't. WTF20
I wonder if DC is making more profit by printing and reprinting their line of Absolute, Omnibuses, compendiums and Deluxe editions than these recent monthly gobbledygook? In fact, they will be probably be making more profit with the DC Finest collections.
Fun fact some of the most popular "diverse" characters, Jessica Jones, Miles Spider-man where created by a white man.
New Dark thinking critical profile pic? Cool!!
Hey, just to let you know. Diamond still distributes DC comics they are not exclusive to Lunar. One of my 2 lcs still gets them through diamond. They are listed in the online previews catalog usually a few days to a week after the catalog drops online around the 23rd of each month. You also need to sign in to see the DC offerings as well.
If diamond gets the dc stuff from lunar then technically they (DC) are exclusive to lunar.
I wish al ewing was on wonder woman but hes already writing a lot if books at marvel
Kelly Thompson... the dei of this line of comics. Jason Aaron put all that stuff in his book too.
1 year from now this will have been a failure and people will be right back here complaining about DC. Again.
Not surprising 😂
It kind of sounds like absolute universe is what dc wants dc to be despite what the fans want wich is the complete opposite reason to create an abosolute universe in the first place
I don't understand all these people that insist on taking away Superman's humanity. it's not fucking interesting, and it's been done and parodied a million times. Marvel has like four Superman pastiches for Christ's sake
@vortechx7176
Indeed and even DC universe hates and disrespects Superman.
@@JoaquinGarces-mi9lz yup it's hard being a Superman fan nowadays
I always found it ironic how many people say they don’t like Superman because they can’t relate to him but yet he is the most “human” super hero at DC.
@@RamManNo1 it's also annoying when they call him boring because he's op but then turn around and praise characters like homelander and omniman or all the other Superman pastiches
Honestly, Scarlett and Destro are each a step down from Duke and Cobra Commander as characters before even getting into the quality of the books.
If they're so desperate to sell Scarlett that they have to tie in all the ninjas, why not skip the "white savior" trope and just have it be an Arishikage book starring Jinx?
Jason Aaron on Supe... i'm fucking out of here.
I just hope they dont screw over Jeremy Adams again. I love his Green Lantern Run so far.
Or they can get good women writers. They exist.
they aren't woke enough to be hired, deal with it - they hire only people who drunk on cat's masterpiss
Jokes on DC, I wasn't going to order any of this under any circumstances anyway.
Fix the regular books before you start doing this unimportant bs nobody wants.
This failed before it even launched
Jason Aaron on Superman. Let hope Superman does not get The Punisher treatment
He kinda did with Bendis
Snyder’s Batman (and DC work in general) has been diminishing returns since the first Metal series.
Extreme cap
Snyder is probably the best Batman run of the last 20 years (way better than Grant Morrison.)
But his work since Rebirth at DC has ranged from mediocre (All Star Batman, Justice League) to bad (Metal, Death Metal, the omni-linear- whatever-verse status quo.)
If DC wants a rebooted universe so badly, dont let it have ties to the main DC Universe because ever since Post-Crisis, it has done nothing but backfire on the company a lot, and it needs to stop.
How about Absolute Comics, so they can promote it as AC/DC? lol
Haha; yeah, right?! 😀
I have so far read Ground Zero...it was fine. Williamson's Green Arrow Tie-In was better. I have no interest in Absolute Universe. Give me more Mad Ghost and Energon Universe over at Image please!
Jason Aaron is a horrible writer and an even worse person.
How so? Besides ruining Thor
@@maxmazzotti6651i thought everybody loves that thor god of thunder run
@@donaldvonglitchenberger4108 his first couple of stories were good but the run as a whole sucked
@@maxmazzotti6651have you forgotten the punisher and his dei Avengers run
@@theragoooverlord5021technically mark waid had the dei avengers book. Jason Aaron’s avengers was basically a fill in run that lasted longer than it needed to
If they make a couple more characters gay, that might help sales.
None of these announcements are exciting, but each one has potential. I'll give these a chance but I'm not getting my hopes up
I thought the Absolute run was supposed to be a new "Ultimate" style take on DC, which I would have been interested. After reading the FCBD issue though it seems like it is just a new "status queue" reboot of the main DC Universe? Either way I'm out.
Sounds like HORSESHIT. The Superman thing is the worst idea I have ever heard. Are they trying to copy Ultimate Spider-Man without understanding why it works?
Absolute Trash?
Awesome work mate
I've been going back to my mid eighties comics of the Justice League Of America "Detroit Team". People really hated it at the time but those stories and characters (even Vibe) are far better than what DC puts out now.
Vibe Gypsy Vixen and Steele were awesome well developed characters. That’s because Jerry Conway was a fan of the comic industry and actually knew how to write a comic book. Modern writers are lazy af!!!! Why should I pay $5 for something that takes me 5 minutes to read. They literally don’t know how to use words to tell stories and enrich the story. What used to be done in one book is now drawn out to 6-12 books and they call it “decompression” but it’s really just dead space by lazy hack writers who just tell the artist to draw pretty pictures.
Who asked for a new universe?DC should fix the problems of continuity of your main universe instead to built your own Ultimate universe.Jason Aaron sucks so much, he wrote a terrible run in Avengers and ruined the Punisher in Marvel. I stopped buying modern DC books years ago since Rebirh and I don't think in give a new chance again because things like that. DC is doomed to repeat the same past mistakes forever.
@EvandroACruz
Because I think the whole reason they're doing their own ultimate universe is because the writers at DC are incapable of bringing anything new to the table when it comes to the main universe
This has been one of the biggest problems over at marvel and why many readers/fans are reading the new ultimate universe of comics as opposed to the main continuity 616 comics
Because for the past decade and a half the main 616 marvel comics have been pretty bad
So DC comics are trying to start over and start fresh, they have seen the success that marvel has had with the new ultimate universe and want to replicate that same success with their own absolute universe as a way of bringing in both old and new readers/fans 🤷♂️
If you can't bring in old and new fans/readers to care about the main universes of their comics, just create a new universe/continuity.
@EvandroACruz
Because look at marvel comics in the early 2000s and why the original ultimate universe was created
Low comic book sales and lack of interest in 616 due to all of the poor decisions/choices in the 90s and also because marvel was literally going bankrupt
The ultimate line of marvel comics was the only way for them to make back the money that they had lost in the 90s and it was a success... At first
Than cracks started to form later on in the mid-to-late 2000s as the quality of the ultimates and ultimate X-Men had both fallen off in terms of quality writing and the characterizations of the characters was completely off with a lot of the characters coming across as unlikable and acted more like villains then actual superheroes (coming more across like super jerks)
The only books that were semi good were ultimate Spider-Man and ultimate fantastic four and in the case of the former fell off in its second VOL that had a lot of really weird decisions such as Peter breaking up with MJ to be with the clone Carnage Gwen Stacy 😵💫
Generally speaking the original ultimate universe was a complete mess and even when it had its reboot with a new writing team and Jonathan Hickman overseen a lot of the writing and creative decisions
A lot of fans/readers had just lost interest in the ultimate universe as a whole after the disaster that was ultimatum
DC absolute universe wants to take some of its writing cues from the new ultimate marvel BUT some of the creative decisions are very questionable and really do not make sense with the original characterization of the characters from the main new Earth continuity.
@EvandroACruz
Some of the concepts/ideas for some of the absolute power comics are very weird and sound very off from the original portrayals/characterizations of the characters 🤷♂️
A Bruce Wayne/Batman who isn't a billionaire and is instead an athletic young man. Even if he's still loses his parents who are probably upper-middle-class to crime or in a shocking twist both Martha and Thomas Wayne actually survived and it is instead a Bruce Wayne who becomes Batman with none of the trauma/tragedy of the main new Earth continuity Bruce Wayne. The whole reason that this version of Bruce even chooses to fight crime is because he sees how crime ridden and corrupt Gotham City is and chooses to do something about it. This idea for Batman doesn't sound too far out of place from that Darren aronofsky Batman year One script from the 2000s that had a Bruce Wayne who wasn't a billionaire and was instead a mechanic working out of a garage and becomes a vigilante
Absolute power Superman
this one sounds like it has more in common with a modern cartoon show, a Kal-El who is sent to Earth a lot later and is a 18/19 year old adult rather than a infant. must navigate how different Earth is compared to his homeworld Krypton and learn what it is to be human. The Kent's will probably be reimagined as a sort-of found family that take in this young man who is far from home, because they are a kind family living in Smallville and that they will help anyone. Clark will have to adopt to Earth customs and have a secret identity but is very bad at keeping a low profile. Which will then probably lead to the absolute universe versions of Lois and Jimmy finding out Clark's identity right off the bat rather than it taking years for them to find out. Since every version of Superman pretty much has the characters immediately find out Clark's secret identity. The found family trope is very obvious from the get-go and will probably be the main theme of the comic. A very fish out of water Superman
Absolute universe Wonder Woman. In concept this sounds very interesting and is a lot better than the current Tom King WW comic run. Diana being reimagined as a TR/Indiana Jones type of character and retrieving a lot of ancient artifacts from around the world etc
Some of these concepts are interesting... But feel like they should be done with original characters then pre-existing ones like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman
But I guess in the minds of the writers at DC comics they don't know how to create or write original characters without making them come across like carbon copies of The originals or Gary/Mary Sues.
@@naquangreen2192 Dc should stop in try to be like Marvel in my opinion.
@@EvandroACruz
Their main continuity is such a mess at this point that they're only bright new idea is to just create a new universe. Because they are incapable of making the main new Earth continuity interesting and compelling
Ever since the end of DC Rebirth, but since the new 52 reboot DC comics has been a complete mess and they've tried/struggled to fix the problem that they themselves created 😒
When all else fails just create a new universe, because it's the same thing as an elseworlds and it will somehow get new readers.
lets hope this is all bullshit and doesn't come to pass
I hope so too but I’m prepared for disappointment.
@@DarthDread-oh2ne i can understand that
What about Waid and Mora on JLA ? There were some rumours some time ago. Will this be main or absolute?
Why do expect different results when the exact same people that catered the dc universe in chargeof the reboot
Now you dont get to pull this off when your staring down Public Domain Golden Age Heroes in a Decade. Which is dancing at the Far Back of this initiative.
We know DC ABSOLUTE is in trouble because I didn’t get a phone call. 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m pleased with all these books and creators.
Burnt on DC
WW as an adventurer already happened with Cloonrad which ended up being a terrible run and the only reason Scarlet is considered successful is because of the work other people have put into that universe. Thompson is just diluting the brand.
Nothing can ease the sting of the atrocity that is Aaron’s Punisher. Maybe a public analogy and jail-time. But other than that? No. 😬
The sad thing: I just don't care. I'm so tired of DC Comics that I couldn't care less. They can do Absolute Death Metal Crisis Reboot! And I won't care and I won't be buying it. DC has been horribly off track since the New 52 started. It was a reboot that was probably due, but was horribly done. And they haven't fixed it and I'm just kind of past the point of caring. Rebirth was a kind of fix and I was kind of onboard. Honestly, they would have been better off just having the universe reset to right before New 52. But at least Rebirth was a good bandage. But since, they've done that Metal and Death Metal crap. Yawn. Dark Crisis. Yawn. Everything is canon. BIG YAWN! I just don't care anymore. I just read the handful of Marvel Comics I pick up and the occasional Indy. I'm done with DC. Which is sad, because right about the time Metal ended, I was all-in for the New Heroes of DC. But, they've fooled me too many times. I don't even have a local comic shop anymore thanks to stupidity from Marvel and DC. So, the only shock I could see that might make me take notice is if there were news DC was going on indefinite hiatus.
Ideally I would love to read a DC book(s) by a female writer(s) who actually read a few DC books, understands the character, & respects the importance of continuity. DC editorial doesn’t want that person. They would rather hire someone who they know is a poor writer but familiar than take a chance on a fresh face. This reminded me of Joe Quesada’s guest spot on Kevin Smith’s podcast where Marvel pre-Marvel Knights was re-cycling same bad writers and not trying anyone new until they went chapter 11. It’s not gonna surprise me when DC is whittled down to just 12 titles. Marvel without the movies is in just as bad a shape.
I wonder if it's intentional that this next run is called "Absolute Power" and yet it's paired with an image of their most powerful icon in the most powerless state possible, the flying Man of Steel wounded and in freefall.
Everytime I see it it the thought comes up "it's probably intentional and someone thought they were very clever when they came up with idea to call the run where everyone loses their powers or special abilities as absolute power" "Absolute Coup d’état" would've been more like it.
Instead of a reboot again, how about relaunching some books not out now. Like The Legion, etc
Thanks, Wes. Loved the show. Sorry I couldn't get through the review of "The Acolyte", to be honest I'm just tired of Disney's space movies/shows. I still gave the video a thumbs up.
I know this isn’t a topic on this video but I Just got a good look at that new Superman costume. It sucks. Way too much paneling. It’s like they took the last costume from Lois and Superman and exaggerated it.
After watching the hype video , it sounds like it’s going to be like Marvels Ultimate. So it’s a new universe completely.
Lex Luthor: Bartender, pour me a glass of DC Absolut Vodka.
Amanda Waller: Please don't make the same embarrassing mistake, Lex.
If they wanted a good female writer they shouldn't have treated Mairghread Scott the way they did. Her Batgirl run was great.
Couldn't care less about absolute whatever, waste of time, just fix the real DC universe they ruined with unwanted reboots.
I am steadily getting less and less interested in Absolute Universe. 😭
Mark Waid should be the Absolute Wonder Woman writer.
This channel should be renamed Hating Critical. It's all it is nowadays. Most of the comics being talked about aren't even out yet and it's just hate hate hate without actually knowing.
It's also become an echo chamber. As an example, you can go to league of geeks, it's a website that comic book stores can use as a third party so customers can order their own books. Most customers will leave reviews once they've read a book. Go pull up some of the books written by these female writers this channel is complaining about, especially Scarlet, and just read the reviews. It's hordes of 4-5 star reviews from customers singing these writers praises. This channel can't comprehend the fact that these writers have fans and that some of the books may actually be selling. They assume because they hate something, everyone must hate it and not be buying it. The site was quite an eye opener for me.
If it bothers you that much unsubscribe, dislike, click the don't recommend channel on UA-cam. Whatever makes you comfortable. Entertainment in movies, TV and comics is crap sometimes. I'm glad Thinking Critical is around to judge it so I don't have to waste my money on bad content
@@kalkella8822 I wonder what people's opinions would be if they knew Wes pirates most of the comics he reads. Would they have a different opinion of this channel?
@@Kevin.kevin_kevin Or I can voice my opinion.
@@Kevin.kevin_kevin What if he tells you something is crap and it's actually good? I find that happening more and more. I used to go on his word to, until I found out it was robbing me of reading good titles. Wes would be good if he was actually being honest. Also, I am unsubscribed, but his crap still shows up.
this just shows how silly all this dei stuff is. Odds that kelly thompson knows anything about gi joe is like a million to one. No girls were watching that cartoon or reading those books. They can clearly find a writer that knows the lore and loves the characters and would definitely be the best man for the job. So of course we don’t get the best, cause of DEI and diversity we get kelly thomson who probably knows very little about gi joe, but she’s a woman so she gets a job that 20 dudes who know all the lore and the characters should’ve gotten
Until they change out the editorial staff DC will continue to spin their wheels. Jim Lee needs to return drawing and people who understand writing need to take over. Then reboot and forget any changes or alterations to characters personalities from the past 5 years . If they don't change course both Marvel and DC are doomed. I don't want to see that.
I have Absolutely no interest in DC or Marvel's out-of-continuity alternative takes on their heroes. I've been invested in their continuity for so many years and I would buy more books if they would spend more time focussing on them and making more of them great reads!
Mark Waid, Jason Aaron, Al Ewing and Kelly Thompson, that's the best they've got (besides Scott Snyder).
F*CK DC COMICS!
Wait. You mean the company that has done 4516 dumb things in a row has done another one?
I'll give Scott Snyder a chance but that's it. None of the other stuff is worth the risk.
I just learned in Knight Terrors: Green Lantern no.1 that Hal Jordan is Jewish. Mind blown.
Which is why no one should read this. It's a waste of time.
You can’t shine shit as my grandpa used to say.
Great review !
Mora is EXTREMELY overrated by this channel. Waid is just too long in the tooth, definitely does not move the needle anymore like 20 yrs ago. World's Finest is not a top seller at any comic shop here in the North East. Time to stop giving these two their flowers. It's over
Mora is a mid level artists..he looks a-list when compared to other artists dc employs...same with jorge jiminez..
Mora is great. His art is better.
Four creators I've had my fill of. Not interested.
DC Comics needs a root and branch reform, the same incompetent editorial staff coming out with these really poor and foolish ideas. Seriously tel me, what has Kelly Thompson done that would put her on one of the trinity books? But hey, lets see how many issues and books come out for this "universe" I'm guessing it'll last a year and a half tops (might have over-estimmated by a year)!
