Aldo reads DC's New 52 (So you don't have to)

watched one of the Batman Lego movies with my kid the other day (the one where he joins JLA) - it was funny

at this point, i would buy into a hard reboot to non-grim-gritty superboy-fights-the-martians

Honestly, I haven't followed much at all outside of the main Batman title (although I recently read a bunch of the weekly one) and all I can say is that Batman probably hasn't slept for five years if all this shit has happened in his life during that time

Nice legs Bats

Calves are worse tbh.

turns out the muscles were not meant to be a jodhpurs reference, they were literally meant to be jodhpurs but Jim Lee has not learnt to draw after three decades as a professional artist

still haven't seen the issue myself, I'd drop the whole series if i could :-/

wow, his belt is bigger than his head. that's fuckin baller

what if we've been misunderstanding all along and Liefeld really likes jodhpurs

A small child travelled back from the present, wearing one of those foam padding Superman costumes...

I suppose I could be tempted out of retirement. (PS I am still reading all the books, every week, just not writing about them.)

Group project?

If that's code word for 'intervention for Aldo' then I'm down.

share your scans and i'll read any damn thing

I eagerly await your reaction to the flood of taint pictures you've inadvertently requested

I feel like we need to talk about this: http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/dc-comics-debuts-new-costumes-for-superman-wonder-woman

And to a lesser extent this: http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/flash-green-lantern-and-green-arrow-get-new-costumes-too

I like Batgundaman but the others are pretty much shit.

The Bat Bunny.

Comics is a much funnier place when DC editorial is trying to do something.

I like the Batman a lot! Good design. Reminds me of Marvin the red rabbit in Dungeon. Snyder's been a bit shit since the first year, though, so not expecting much.

The rest are a bit ridiculous but not really ridiculous enough.

they all suck imo

I like how the Wonder Woman outfit at least addresses the ages old "why would a warrior wear something like that?" question of her previous costumes, too bad it looks so "90s shit" otherwise.

The new Bat-bunny costume has gotta be a shoutout to the rabbit-eared cyborg guy in Masamune Shirow's Appleseed, right?

Another shitstorm

that doesn't address the major shit element that Albuquerque was repeatedly asked by DC to make the image creepier and more inappropriate, including elements like the blood lipstick and the gun pointing towards Batgirl's crotch

jesus, they really have no idea what is good in their stable or how to encourage it

Wow. The crotch thing seems like they're plain baiting the audience.

um.

thank god they're bringing back Steel; brilliant market recognition

this looks terrible. kinda surprised (but grateful) they're not trying to fold watchmen into the dcu as part of this

CONVERGENCE: AQUAMAN #1
U.S. Price: $3.99
On Sale 4/15

STARRING HEROES FROM ZERO HOUR! Aquaman has lost his home, his powers, and his hand – but now he faces his most difficult challenge: a battle to the finish with Deathblow!

thrilled that they're streamlining the dcu by resurrecting 20-year-old efforts to streamline the dcu which were terrible even at the time

putting aquaman in sweatpants is a bold new direction tho tbf

Well they have, kind of. Earth 4 is the earth of Watchmen, or rather the earth of Watchmen had it used the Charlton heroes after all.

As a store owner whose only DC sales for two months will be Convergence - fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck

Followed shortly by Marvel rebooting with an assload of #1s with their version of the New 52.

I need to find a connection for good, mellow weed.

okay irl lolz

Multiversity: Ultra Comics was really cool, but at this point I have no idea how it's all supposed to fit together.

I was about to say, as someone whose only DC book has been Multiversity, DC seems to be in a pretty neat state at the moment!

Well... yes?

Caught up with some DC stuff -- the final issues of the three weekly minis, plus Convergence 0.

Surprise! They were not good. Also, unless I read wrong, they've set up a definitive future in which, er, all the heroes are killed and turned into zombie robots - is that right? That seems... bleak.

it's convergence. Everything will change and be rewritten and chucked out the window for the nunu-52.

I don't know if we need a new thread for post 52 clusterfucks, but DC is making a new ad campaign: DC YOU! Promising to ask readers such smart questions as: 'Are YOU ready to laugh?, Are YOU ready to hashtag this?, and Are YOU ready for the new awesome?' I know I'm not! Apparently they are promoting diversity. So of course there's an ad with famed gay superhero Midnighter, which just shows a man in a mask with blood on his face and the tagline: He can predict your every move... but nobody can predict what he'll do next... are YOU ready? They really sold the diversity of that story...
