I think I'll download everything. Don't really give a crap about this too much because it's only gonna be a year or so before "DC FUCKSTORM CRISIS IN EVERYONE'S ASS!!!!!!!!" and everything reverts back. You know it's coming. In their ass. Sorry, our ass, because we're the dumbasses buying it. I got GL today, been behind as I get comics every two weeks and not had the time to read a tower sized pile that I've accumulated over the last year. Not even into Flashpoint. BUT I was keeping up on GL and its still connected to the previous arcs, Sinestro is a GL again and while the issue had nothing major I like where its going. Johns writing it still makes me very happy.

So what, did Blackest Night never happen or is someone else leading the SINESTRO CORPS?

Did you read it? Yes, Blackest Night still happened, and one of Sinestro's own thought he was a traitor. It's still continued off of the last arc.

Pardon me for not remembering. GL isn't a true reboot like the others.

Pardon me for not remembering. GL isn't a true reboot like the others. I just read the "War of the Green Lanterns" synopsis on wiki. DC is already full of shit (like that's shocking) by trying to make everyone believe GL isn't a reboot. Think about it. Hal is powerless and in the desert and Sinestro has a green ring again. They went back to square one but just took a slightly more clever way of getting there.

Yes but it's like 2009's "Star Trek" only everyone still knows what happened before, besides, no Abin Sur.

I was wondering how that would pan out.
Anyone want to take bets on how long it will be until Ultimate Peter is magically resurrected?

It's getting annoying. But, I hate it a lot less than black Spider-Man. For some reason and not because he's black, that book really bothers me. Maybe it's because Ultimate Spider-Man was awesome and killing that Pete off was fucking retarded, but this new guy fucking sucks. its really that bad, huh? i like the costume for it. also did anyone see the New Catwoman and Starfire stuff? sexy but....the catwoman looks more like Black Cat...

Just read Batman #1. I have to say I'm a little disappointed in Capullo's work. Maybe he's just not a good fit for Batman - which is weird because I would have thought the exact opposite. Or maybe the inker sucks at inking his work. Or maybe it's because I'm just not a huge Batman fan to begin with. I dunno. I'll stick around because he's my favorite artist and it's the first thing not Spawn-related he's done in more than a decade and I wanna see how he does.

I'm reading all 4 GL titles, Action Comics, and JLA which are all pretty good. But Flashpoint's ending was beyond retarded.

No JSA, no Doom Patrol & no Spectre- there's nothing for me in the reboot... Might check out the (I think it's) Stormwatch title as I'm a big Authority fan (don't know why they put Martian Manhunter with them) but I'll waiot for the first tpb~

Keep in mind that I haven't bought any DC comics on a regular basis in YEARS, I have picked up: Superman Action Comics Flash Batman Dark Knight Detective Comics Justice League
I'm surprised that I liked them all-- Detective Comics being my fav. Although, I admit I'm confused as to the whole reboot bisnatch.... I know Action Comics is a prequel, leading up to Superman, and Justice League is about how all the heroes first meet BUT I thought I had a good handle until I got to the Bat-Books. Bruce Wayne is pretty young looking, yet he has Dick, Tim AND Damian with him?? What gives? Are the Batman comics NOT reboots? Can anyone explain it to me--- like a five year old?

Dunno myself, a Wiki may be your best bet, I've still not finished Flash Point so I'm not a good source right now.

Can anyone tell me if the Flash and JLA are any good? I've been wanting to start picking up the Flash again and now seem like an easy way to get back into it.

This whole Flushpoint thing is bullshit and it's only a matter of time before things go back to the way they were. Some titles are reboots, some are not, what the fuck?
That said, I really did enjoy Action Comics. Animal Man (good story), Swamp Thing and Batman (I expected more from Capullo and the last page is shit) are all OK. Fuck the rest of it.

I heard a rumor that Aquaman was actually.....GOOD. Any truth to that?
Also, re: Batgirl- I know it's Barbara, but is it a reboot, or did she somehow heal her spine?

Action Comics was fantastic. I love the whole "Superman as working-class champion" angle. By far the best book I read from the relaunch titles.
Green Lantern was also good, but there's almost no daylight between the previous arc and the reboot arc. It's very confusing how all this stuff fits together. The other GL books were also pretty good, with New Guardians looking the most promising.
Detective Comics.... not so much. It seems like they're trying to be shocking for shocking's sake, and it just feels dumb.
Aquaman was great, but Ivan Reis is always great.
Flash was cool, with really cool Francis Manapul artwork and some extremely creative page layouts.
Justice League is something everyone should know whether the like or not before they even read it. If you like either Geoff Johns or Jim Lee, you'll like this. The funny thing about the first issue though is that DC was obviously expecting the Green Lantern movie to be a massive hit, because basically the entire first issue is Batman and Hal Jordan with one cutaway scene at a football game and then Superman showing up at the very end. Extremely decompressed storytelling that was clearly written for the TPB, but still good stuff.

Can't wait until The Midnighter and Apollo meet Superman and Batman. It's gonna be a total fuck-n-suck fest.

Haven't snagged any of the new DCU yet...probably should soon. And yea...still confused about what the hell is going on. Batman supposedly takes place 5 years after Superman? But as has been mentioned, he's already got Damian as Robin....
But GL apparently has contiued pretty much where it left off in War of the Green Lanterns.....
From everything I've seen and heard so far, not liking the idea....but, I still haven't even picked up the #1s of the books I had been getting monthly up until August so....we'll see what I think...

On my pull list I have:
Batman & Robin Batman: TDK Green Lantern Corps Green Lantern New Guardians Red Lanterns
I'm going to try the first two issues of Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E. tomorrow and see if I like it. So far I'd say the Green Lantern stuff has had the best start, but I'm going to give each of them at least a few issues to decide if I'll keep them.

I am wayy into Young Justice and Superboy... I just like the storyline. Detective Comics is awesome. Green Lantern is fun. I haven't read comics in a couple of years and I just dove back in. I am reading these + Chew + Blackest Night... I am a happy man.
Am I the only one reading these on ComiXology?
