What characters an events do you think where well done in the New 52
>>
>>81630604
Aquaman, Animal Man, and Batman all have had pretty solid series. Aquaman especially needed it. Flash and Wonder Woman both had pretty solid runs as well.

Nu52 also did some weird shit that wouldn't have gotten the time of day before, like Demon Knights, Dial H, and Amethyst that were great.
>>
Aquaman and... eh. Dick.
>>
Jonah Hex.
>>
Aquaman, Batman and Suicide Squad have all been amazing since the beginning of the New 52.
>>
>>81630741
But he was already being done well before hand. New 52 forced him into Gotham for the tie-ins, so it was actually a downgrade.
>>
>>81630604
Aquaman, Animal Man, the first Swamp Thing run (not really liking the current one). Grayson is good. the run in catwoman where she was a mob boss. Morrison Superman. I'm sure there are others, but I haven't read everything.
>>
>>81630753
Suicide squad was garbage

Animal man, Swamp Thing, IVampire, Demon Knights, Dial H, WW, Batman, and Dick have largely been good.
>>
>>81630741
that was an objective downgrade
>>
>>81630604
If any character was improved it was Ocean Master. Before the reboot he was just an generic evil brother archetype, basically OceanScar. But in Throne of Atlantis he actually seemed to be a pretty decent guy and good king before Vulko provoked him into attacking the surface, he even but his foot down and stopped people from harming Garth because of his purple eyes

>Suicide Squad was garbage

Not Glass' run.

And then it went downhill with a shitty writer
>>
Demon Knights. Midnighter. ASS8. Tho those last two are DC You.
>>
What was the general opinion on /co/ about the New Modern Day Blackhawks book?
>>
Absolutely nothing was better than its pre-New 52 iteration. So nothing. Larfleeze got a solo run so there's that; but that could've happened just as easily without the reboot.
>>
>>81630604

>Aquaman
>"I'm just sitting here in my costume eating a sandwich why can't anyone leave me alone."

Exactly what was so good about New 52 Aquaman?
>>
>>81630604
Aquaman, Swamp Thing, Frankenstein, JL Dark, I Vampire, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow by Lemire and Percy. But honestly none of these really needed the Nu52, they just need continuity fags to be ignored.
>>
>>81633305
Parker run was the perfect follow up, Abnett is turning in solid stuff. Bunn was a small, forgettable blip.

Aquaman was surprisingly good. Batman had great art with Capullo on it. Everything else was and is pretty much garbage. Burn the rest with fire to cleanse.
>>
>>81630604
I´ll say treshold cause nobody else will, really glad I got the trade too, it´s so large and awesome
>>
>>81635196
Roy Harper. They managed to make a mess of him right before the reboot, so giving him a fresh start was necessary.

Azzarello's Wondie was pretty good.
>>
>>81641409
but animal man, soule swamp thing and azzarello wonder woman were the best things to come out from the enw 52
>>
Dial H, for sure. Even if it got super compressed and hard to follow at the end, it still was consistently one of the best books, if not the best book of the whole line.

And the chalkzone issue remains my favorite issue DC's done since the reboot. Nothing else has come close.
>>
Continuity changes were garbage but the stories themselves were mostly good.

James Robinson's run of Earth 2. People complain about Jay's clothes, but that's small potatoes.

>Objective Downgrade
>Was still really good
So the only thing you're saying is that the Jonah Hex 70 issue series was absolutely fantastic?
>>
>>81642746
Every time I think about how we got more than 100 consecutive issues of Jonah Hex, it makes me smile.
>>
>>81642844
Now, if only we could get some more Tallulah Black.
>>
>Swampthing
>Animal Man
>Demon Knights
>Dial H
>Frankenstein
>I Vampire
>Constantine
DC really needs to just make spooky magic shit
>>
>>81642691
Only really bad thing about it to me was the helmet. I've got the trades and some of Nicola's sketches where he has a more old school helmet look great. Changing the helmet so much would be like changing Allans ring IMO

Shazam

yeah the Convergeance story was cool but the Johns/Frank mini was fantastic.
>>
>>81642960
Yeah, it's not great, but at the same time, It's not a huge deal. I don't know, maybe I'm a rarity when it comes to how accepting I am of change in comics
>>
>>81643026
The Golden Age stuff was way better, imo.
>>
Aquaman, Swamp Thing and Animal Man. I liked Wonder Woman as well.
>>
>>81635196
aquaman, Wonder Woman, Justice league
>>
>>81642940
n52 Constantine for both series sucked. The problem isn't that he's in the same world with dudes in spandex, it was just the bad writing.
>>
>>81642223
Making him into a different kind of shitty character isn't an improvement. All they had to do was get rid of the cat killing
>>
>>81643026
Curse of Shazam was fantastic. And all the stuff that irritated people is pretty much soft retconned anyway. I was kind of surprised how vitriolic people got over Batson being the way he was.

God dammit I loved Earth 2 Flash. He just wants to do good!

>>81630604
It made me like Wonder Woman

Glass Suicide Squad was a fucking trash fire.
