DarkeSword Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 So every week I go to the comic shop and buy a load of comic books. I am a big fan of superhero books and pretty much all the superhero stuff I read right now is from DC. This thread is for discussing all the stuff going on in the DCU right now. So right now there are a couple of really great, big storylines going on: Blackest Night, which is DC's big event that came out of the Green Lantern storylines; World Without Superman, which is running through all the Superman books and explores all the New Krypton stuff going on; and Batman Reborn, which runs through the Batman books and explores how the Batman family is carrying on after Bruce Wayne's supposed death. Is anyone else reading, or am I the only one? I'm really digging what's going on in the DCU right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Author Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I have to say, I am digging Batman Reborn. I was kinda afraid that when he would die, it would be a cheap cop out temporary death, but the way they are setting things up makes me think it will last a wee bit longer. (I hope, really... because well.. this new approach just rocks.) I love the Damian / Dick interactions, the way the city is adjusting to a new batman, the new batgirl... I just completely missed out on the new Red Robin, which probably keeps me happy in the "Burce ain't comming back" world. Not sure I like Batwoman so far, but I'm ready to give her a chance, the series has been... well not to my liking so far. All of this is coming during a lull in Green Arrow / Black Canary, but I'm keeping interested. I am, however, staying the hell away from Blackest night because I need to limit what I purchase... I already have a long box full of comics and it is a fairly recent interest of mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Make sure you get around to reading it, mainly because it's fantastic, but also because it's going to have a massive effect on the DCU once it's finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eulogic Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I have been out of the loop since I excavated in Italy last summer and haven't been able to get back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 DC was here, marvel and image are for scrubs. If I had to read a superhero comic it'd definitely be DC, but I tend to favour the non-superhero comics though, like Transmetropolitan or Sandman. Or does Sandman count as a superhero? He does meet the Martian Manhunter once! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
