May 19, 2013 7:08 am @ j206 @ilovecomics I wholeheartedly agree that DC is showing a complete lack of respect for the talent that makes the magic. They both have killer titles but its just sad why and how so many have failed with DC. It's like I want to give them props for taking a bold chance on everything and giving books a shot no one expected to see, on the other hand the constant creator shuffling on the titles that were good and now cancelled combined with the obvious disregard for talent that I don't care to give them that much respect at this point, in history overall yeah, I love em and hope they pull it together and not just rely on the constants like Snyder & Lemiere. Grant Morrison doing that DC Multiverse project should open some doors as well as the WW Earth One. Marvel is killing it with many titles and while I hate the $3.99 tag and in house ads too often in some issues, I truly enjoy some of they're titles much more right now. That itself is pointless though cause I still love a handful of DC titles including Earth-2, OH F@#k!!! It!! Good thing we got IDW,Image, Dark Horse & ONI, Valiant,etc....with great new series like East To West, Jupiters Legacy, Sex, Chin Music, and soon to come Lazarus, Bounce, Quantum & Woody....along with consistent pleasers Saga, BPRD, Manhattan Projects, Nowhere Men, X-O....and many more. So I can see some ppl avoiding the big two altogether but for me they're the soul of it all and will always stay up on a cpl w em in good times or bad, they just lose and hopefully not completely lost sight of that soul . And yeah DC beat Marvel for like a cpl months in the sales charts when they launched the New52 and like one other time in history so it's just business as usual at the House of Ideas.

May 18, 2013 5:43 am Yeah Fraction & Allred aren't doing what anyone would expect from Fraction with that book and Allred's art gives it more character than most out there, it really is in a class all it's own and fun.

May 18, 2013 5:05 am This is completely disappointing, and believe with all the high profile veteran writers leaving that its not due to money but upper management pointing these guys in directions they don't wanna go and ultimately ruining what they were doing with their stories. His slow build and long term plan was always gonna connect with the main DCU eventually, it was just great that it was getting built without any outside influence but eventually it would tie in when he wanted it too. Worlds Finest technically connected Earth-2 to the main DCU already as well as certain characters mentions as well as Darkseids invasion of both worlds. I really hope Nikola Scott stays on board and a good writer takes over knowing Robinson's plans then does well further. This is one of the only DC books I still get and care about, I'll give it a shot after #16 and am still excited for this new Earth-2 Batman. Maybe this creator leaving trend being more of an outing this time will cause a ripple effect change that turns some things around at DC. Too many good characters to suck any longer.

May 16, 2013 11:21 am My POTW as well without reading the rest of my pull yet but Corben is gold. I'm sure I'll dig a few other issues from series I really enjoy such as Batwoman, Non-Humans, Cable & X-Force & BPRD and I'm pretty curious for Dream Merchant. Creepy, Hellboy to Ragemoor...the Poe adaptations, Richard Corben knows what he's doing. "Richard Corben stands among us like an extraterrestrial peak. He has sat in his throne for a long time, above the moving and multi-colored field of world comics, like an effigy of the leader, a strange monolith, a sublime visitor, a solitary enigma." ---Moebius

May 16, 2013 10:10 am Doom Patrol could be a great return in the right hands. This Trinity of Sin had me interested cause I dig the supernatural characters but rather see it be a maxi series like The Shade (which was really good). The Question, Phantom Stranger, The Spectre and whoever else including the Pandora character this is centering on could in my opinion & for my taste make better maxi-series than ongoings. Love em in cameos or not over used in JSA/Earh-2 titles and JLDark which despite its vanilla name, is a good series. Dr Fate works better in arcs & just being around his team, same goes for Deadman and think it would for all these cats. That's my anecdote but do love seeing em take chances with characters cause you never know when that magic touch team is gonna kill it for awhile.

May 16, 2013 9:55 am I liked the idea of a DC anthology style series like DHP. Wish they kept it going and think Dial H would be a good constant there.

May 16, 2013 9:51 am The Creeper is one of those obscure characters that's a treat to see. I hope his one-shot is good with a lead into seeing him somewhere I'd like to, like JLDARK.

May 15, 2013 4:18 am I got a good feeling about this series and will definitely be picking it up. Sex is one one of the best adult, slow build with substance stories out there and love the facade of what it appeared to be and what it's really about. Reminds me of Dan Driedberg//Nite Owl from Watchmen, where we meet Dan in Watchmen but taken much further.
