Quote from: Gay Titan on Oct 25, 2024, 12:47 PMNightwing #119 - Start of a new writing team. It's okay, not stellar. The new artist is really good. Definitely a change and more shadows.

I was thinking about getting back on, after my time with this last Taylor/Renaldo arc is over, but I didn't really miss the title while I was gone prior to the last arc (and only came back because Renaldo was on for the last issues), but do let us know if it picks up.
I also jumped back on Titans for a couple issues, around this same time, and I did enjoy it (mainly because Raven was Raven again), but not hearing great things about that either, so both titles seem like an easy walk away, for now. But the same holds true; let us know if this also picks up, yeah?
 

EDIT - Oh yeah, for some reason the Long Halloween mini didn't hit DCU this week. So I scratched that off the list for now

TMNT - This was another fun issue, but unlike the first two, I was left starting to feel like I missed something from the last run.

Spoiler

I knew going in that "something" had separated our turtles, but this issue made me question if I need to know now or if Aaron will recap. Hell, maybe them being separated wasn't how the last run ended, I'm just worry more now. But I think regardless we will find out soon

[close]

Rook #6 - So this was the last issue for a couple months and... I don't know... while I truly do like the premise of this book, and thematically it is it's own thing, I find it is also very much akin in tone and meter to a lot of other Johns' stuff, especially Geiger. One thing that certainly makes them different from each other is how this title has characters whose motivation is all over the place. Just frustrating. I will still be back, don't get me wrong, again, I do enjoy "the idea" here, but I feel Johns has done so much better with less    Art is still amazing, so that helps 

Conan - A great lil' four issue recap/reimagining/retelling of a classic Conan story. We get more insight to the great story here and that's pretty cool. Still enjoying this, but so excited for the next arc!!

Mystic - Man, this title is making me miss the CrossGen universe so damn much I do hope Marvel uploads the other series soon however, hopefully the remaining three from the first wave, but especially the 'gods' like title 'The First' (that came about 5 months later), as I am only a few issue into this and I am already seeing aspects from that title. Good stuff though!!

Batman & Robin: Year One 1 - This was fun!  It's got a Batman the Animated series feel to it.  I'm in!

The Legion of Super-Heroes (1980) 269 - The Fatal Five are back! It's back to being good.  I enjoyed this part one.

Not that it would change your opinion of him, but his presence is the main reason I want Marvel to drop the other CG titles. But, no spoilers, even small
ones (I just deleted everything I just wrote, just incase)

Well, let's not go that far   

I may get to it tonight, but I think I am going to go ahead and hold off on reading Nice House #2. If the third issue drops this week, I will want to read them back to back.

I may get a hair up my butt during halftime of the 9ers/Dallas game and knock it out tonight anyway

Creature - This was really cool. Although I say that as a huge Universal Monsters fan, and considering that, I think I would have enjoyed this regardless. Of course, having remembered the movie from when I was a kid helped, even though this is NOT a retelling of that, no no, it is a new take, and a good one, it helped with certain aspects of this story. Art was really cool. A mixture of Ryan Ottley, Scott Kollins and (Locke and Key's) Gabriel Rodriquez 

Strange - Ohhhh, I'm gonna enjoy this! Cosmic Dr. Strange and art by Gene Colon? A great start with some Strange staples: Mordo, Nightmare, Eternity, Clea and more. Enjoyed this greatly. I think I was just in the mood for just this today. As for the next few issues... Bring it the hell on!!

Jeff is right about Batman & Robin Year One. Fun start and I think I will continue reading it.
