April 19, 2012 1:55 am Yes, if this was a real kid in a real system, then I totally buy him as a a**hole. BUT, he is supposed to be BILLY F***ING BATSON!! If you have seen an episode of "Young Justice" with Billy/CM in it, than I think you have seen what this character should be. I am all for a change in character and a growth in character; but this is just throwing out EVERYTHING that makes Billy Billy; and all for the cheap "THIS IS EDGY CAUSE I TOOK THE NICE KID AND MADE YOU HATE HIM" ploy. It's disgusting, it's degrading, and it's disrespectful to the creation and continuance of Billy. You might as well hand Batman a gun and have him shoot The Joker...

April 19, 2012 1:52 am I love Green Arrow. I joined the GA title when Conner was wearing the mask and I loved every moment of it. And I even liked the Kevin Smith and Brad Metzler runs on the book. This Green Arrow sucks. They are trying SOOOOOO hard to make him "cool" that it is just painful to read. Johns has officially lost me with this issue. I liked the last issue... up until the point where Johns had to throw in his standard "hey, super heroes are jerks, too!" riff he has been espousing for the last five years. We get it, Geoff: super heroes are flawed a-holes just like us and all authority is to be questioned and defied. And, "Shazam?" If you EVER liked Billy Batson as Captain Marvel, even just a LITTLE, than please tell me you HATE this story! Making the most fun loving super hero in the DCU into a f***ing JERK is NOT EDGY!! (Just like having the former heart & soul of the League, the Martian Manhunter, turn up as a "villain"... ugh, ugh, UGH!!) I think Johns needs a break from comics and figure out what made him the go to guy for great books like JSA and his early GL run... I hear all the time that everyone is sick of Bendis writing the Avengers; is no one with me in the sentiment that Johns' shtick has run it's course as well?

February 11, 2012 1:11 am I love this title. It was a surprise favorite (along with Winick's Catwoman). So disappointed to see LieFraud taking over. Saves me some $$, I guess.

February 11, 2012 1:08 am I seem to be in the same boat as the rest of you... I WANT to love this book. I loved it the first time around and was so excited to see it's resurrection (see what I did there?). But, upon reading it, I cannot tell if I actually like this book as much as I want to like it... And wondering if my good memories of the past are influencing my decision to keep it. It's got a good chance of joining the burn pile real soon. :-/

February 11, 2012 1:04 am Hermgerm: agreed!!!

February 11, 2012 1:01 am I think I am burned out on GL. I am sick of Hal and want Kyle back... In the old universe (I don't want to even TRY New Guardians!). I am trying to stay on board, and I love what they have done with Sinestro... Actually, if this was "GL: Sinestro," I would be great with it! But... too much Hal... Too much "GUARDIANS ARE BAD!! ARRRR!!" crap that Johns has been peddling for years. Yeah, everyone in authority positions are really evil bastards, we f***ing get it already!

February 11, 2012 12:47 am This is one of the best SW books DH has published in a LOOOONNNGGG time. A book that is concerned about being IN the SW Universe and not ABOUT the SW Universe. It uses the universe as a back drop instead of trying to make a story that is going to change everything. Great book!

February 11, 2012 12:44 am I think they are launching new titles when the new DC block is premiered on CN...

February 11, 2012 12:30 am Well, considering that a number of creators have work denied to them for their views/stances, I think it happens with fans, too. It sucks, and it needs to stop, I agree, but I am not surprised it happens. With editors/creators or fans,

February 11, 2012 12:17 am I think Urthona hit it with the idea that Moore is "bitter." I think that turns a lot of fans off. Like, "how dare he hate on the industry that made him???!!??" We get defensive about our hobby/love/obsession, and when one of our OWN seems to hate it all now, it can really make us turn on that person.
