Hello again, storytimer. As always, thanks for posting. It's nice when it's good stuff too, not many cape comics can touch DC's late 80s output. How's the pooch?
So sorry GL fans
Oh man, I'm way too tired to sit up and read this with you guys tonight. Thanks anyway OP.
Another "Impossible to do now" issue!

you're all off reading Civil War 2 spoilers, I know it
>>83325957
Hi OP!
>>83325957
I must say I'm rather amused just how correct the leak has been shaping up to be.
>>83325957
I desperately want those spoilers to be true so we can say those things were leaked back in fucking January and all they did was change his name from Homer to Ulysses.I don't want it to be ~all a dream~ or some shit like Age of ultron and Last Will
>>83325929
Aw OP, don't stop your mythology talk here!
>>83325957
which will cause more of an uproar, Rebirth Books or Civil War 1 !?!!
>>83325994

>>83325994
Thedeathsbeing a visionthey all get torn apart over makes more sense with knowing the actual fighting isn't until issue 4/5/late
>>83325957
Are spoilers out?
>>83325589
W-well Sinestro was good and Cotton & Berganza were on that...
>>83325994
yeah, the "it's just a vision" cop out is something I put half odds on, unfortunately
>>83326016
I'm enjoying some schadenfreude about how lots of n00bs are picking up Rebirth and enjoying it
>>83326072
Yeah it does make sense butBendis seems to be making another person to be War Machine and the Hellcat and A force solicits don't bode well for Jen
>>83325818
>>83325929
I wonder if/how much gorier this would be now. These are horrible deaths but the art isn't horrible.
>>83326113
>Sinestro was good
Enough of this meme.
>>83325491
Hello Storyteller.
>>83325957
>you're all off reading Civil War 2 spoilers, I know it
I'm not. I quite literally just woke up. Also, I missed yesterday's thread, so I'm also behind on the story.
>>83326122
you're all RPG nerds, you know what a fucking manticore is
>>83326164
>>83326138
does Marvel have enough skill to pull a co-ordinated fakeout?

NO PANTS FOR SHADE
>>83326266
>>83326262
ENOUGH I SAID
>>83325957
I don't know if I'm even surprised that they didn't bother to change anything from the original leak besides the dude's name
>>83326294
this is one hell of a body count so far in this comic, and all done non...splashily? but horrible deaths.
>>83326164
Speaking of RPGs, I've become so addicted to this one I forgot to storytime today.
>>83326106

HI NEW NIGHTSHADE COSTUME
>>83326471
Yeah. He doesn't like being led, but then he gets lost and stands in the kitchen and cries, and the doorways to outside are difficult.

Hello better Nightshade costume.
>Yeah. He doesn't like being led, but then he gets lost and stands in the kitchen and cries, and the doorways to outside are difficult.
Pets don't seem to handle not being able to do stuff well. More obvious with cats, but still.
>>83326604
>>83326213
i mean they kept Cap under wraps
>>83326662
Note: Nightshade's range has improved considerably...at a cost
>>83326648
He's always been a stubborn cuss to begin with so I think he's really mad at the world.
>>83325575
People keep bringing that up in my storytimes, too.
>>83326665
they did
I'm weirdly cheered by the fact that comics okayed a plotline that has to have a bunch of Disney suits freaking the FUCK out right now, you know?
>>83325893
Um, I'm a few days away from storytiming Kung Fu goodness for weeks?
>>83326722
>a bunch of Disney suits freaking the FUCK out right now
Is this really the case? Or people just assuming?
>>83326722
Yeah, I've said it in very trolly form before but I appreciate Marvel trying new shit and storylines all over.vs DC blatant nostalgia pandering
>>83326703
it's because if you were there (I was once on the very tail end, but enough) before it became all chain restaurant and family friendly shit, it sticks in the mind as an aspect of a gentrified-out NYC
>>83326767
there have to be some people pretty confused, they're suits, look at the WB guys when Alan got made gay and Johns had to go explain things to them
The continual conflation of HYDRA with Nazis can't help
>>83326767
It's such a big meme that my friend, who isn't even in America and doesn't care about comics as a whole, knows about it.
>>83326767
I can't imagine them reacting to well to "Captain America is a Nazi!" running rampant on the internets especially after CW
>>83326809
>>83326793
I won't give Marvel too much credit just because very few of their books right now are to my tastes at all
>>83325893
>Tell me something nice, anons.
Artemis' new design flatters her quite shapely legs.
Like seriously, it's not just that particular artist, the design is clearly meant to emphasis dem gams. Unf.
>>83326879
hopefully she'll beat up Jason a few times

Indeed. He's gonna run his mouth like a dumbass, she'll beat the shit out of him like it was an anime... Fuck, now I see what the shippers are seeing, and I don't like it.
Also, I only just noticed that Artemis has her own lasso. I wonder if it's magic. Or if it's that "Bind of Veils" thing that Snyder made up.
>>83327117
i thought the notes said it was just a regular rope lasso

I was expecting Rebirth to do pretty good but it sounds like it did extremely well
>>83327104
I think this would have to be Ed Koch
>>83327187
It just says "rope lasso". doesn't specify if it's mundane or not.
>>83327224
I've just heard a number of anecdotes of "I shared this with casuals or n00bs I know and they loved it", which is exactly the opposite of what the hand-wringers who think DC haet new audience were predicting
>>83327279
I showed it to my girl and she got a hoot out of parts of itmainly because her name is Linda.

Floyd has only a few weak spots like that (such as pulling his shots against Batsy)
>>83327430
The Deadshot mini is so good too
>>83327375>BvS.jpg
>>83327441
Well all of his weak spots come back to his family
>>83327468
has that been digitaled? I have the trade but the scans are really old
>>83327279
>I've just heard a number of anecdotes of "I shared this with casuals or n00bs I know and they loved it", which is exactly the opposite of what the hand-wringers who think DC haet new audience were predicting
I mean, despite being steeped in the lore, it's a pretty straightforward story.
>Dude is trapped outside of normal reality.
>Tries to get back by talking to people he knew.
>Sinister new villain is lurking in the shadows.
That, and the obvious set up for other stuff down the line (Long Live the Legion) make it pretty accessible.
>>83327279
>which is exactly the opposite of what the hand-wringers who think DC haet new audience were predicting
I think a lot of them are looking at it from the lens of seasoned comic readers who can't see the story past the retcons and meta. a lot of people are just enjoying the story and the teasing of what's to come
>>83325916
Didn't he hide his death in a needle in an egg in a nest on a tree on top of a mountain on an island?
>>83327504
yep
https://www.comixology.com/Deadshot-1988/comics-series/12591
although I don't know if there are rips readily available
>>83327541
something like that, yes
>>83327522
There's that, but there's also this idea since the 'longboxes' comment that this is actively hostile to new readers (GATEKEEPING, you know?) instead of intriguing, and I'm being really delighted to see this proven wrong.
>>83327348
That reminds me. In one of the Rebirth storytime threads, someone asked "Why did they make Linda Asian?".
We're starting to reach critical mass with this shit.
>>83327607
>since when is Luke Cage black?! Fucking SJWs
>>83327541
oh shit, that dude showed up in something I read recently and now i'm tearing out my hair trying to remember. maybe one piece?
goddammit
>>83327224
I want it to do well just so maybe they can do events like this. Just supersized issues once or twice at the normal price instead of dragging things out for half a year.
>>83327607
that's ...something
>>83327606
>There's that, but there's also this idea since the 'longboxes' comment that this is actively hostile to new readers (GATEKEEPING, you know?) instead of intriguing, and I'm being really delighted to see this proven wrong.
oh right, I forgot about that too
I think that goes along with the "new >>> old" mentality, old stuff is bad to appealing to long time readers is an automatic turn off or automatic gatekeeping
I am also very pleased to see that proven wrong because mining comic history for current stories can be very rewarding (and has been used to good effect in recent stuff like Grayson and whatnot)
>>83327671
Same
Even if they do need 3-4 artists for it
>>83327606
>that this is actively hostile to new readers
Fuck those fuckers. Half the fun of DC and Marvel is diving headfirst into the universe and reveling in all the continuity. Why people are so against the idea of continuity the in Big Two boggles me. If you don't want to deal with it, there are plenty of other venues for storytelling within the medium.
>>83327607
>>83327639
Also people getting triggered by the Green arrow Rebirth Preview.
>>83327671
>>83327715
Isn't Deadpool also doing that? like a crossover with Heroes for Hire and Daredevil but all in one issue
>>83327715
I think Rebirth was arranged nicely, giving each artist their own clear segment instead of jumbling them all together was nice
I wish the coloring was a little more consistent though
>>83327731
It really is ridiculous. Not to mention the fact that even with a hard reboot,in a few years you'll still end up with a relatively dense continuity anyway.
>>83327731
>>83327713
This is pretty fun to re-read in retrospect
panels.net/2016/02/22/dcs-rebirth/
>>83327761
Yeah, it's like Iron Fist & Power Man, Daredevil, and two issues of Deadpool in one big issue
Though the writers of all the series are writing their own parts
>>83327748
Yeah, but that's actually funny. The Linda thing is just... man.
>>83327814
Ultimate helped prove that.
>>83327607
I can only think maybe they were mixing her up with Iris
Maybe
>>83327836
>>83327731
Yeah things like Ultimate can only work for so long before it becomes just like the normal universe.
Earth One probably won't survive as long and may be too self contained for that happen, but nobody really cares about E1 anyway.
>>83327836
She looks pretty old for 10.
>>83327931
99% of artists can't children
>>83327855
Agreed
>>83327931
She's got an old soul.
>>83327836
>It’s clear who DC Comics is targeting. It’s not us. It’s not our audience. We at Panels will continue to try and make things clearer and tear down the gates of comics for new readers, but it’s dejecting when publishers make clear that they aren’t interested in this. That their comics aren’t for us.
Seems to me like they were targeting "anybody who'll buy the fucking book" which turns out, was quite a lot of people
a LOT of these "not for new readers" hand-wringers come off like they formed their opinions on Rebirth the second the first teaser went up and since it came out they're still picking at it to justify their thoughts. like the CA roundtable
>>83327916
Hey! I care!A little
>>83327522
Johns is really good at continuity for normies. You'd think they would realize it by now.
>>83328014
i didn't see CA did a roundtable, what was the reaction?
>>83328020
I want to but they're soooo slow with it since only a few characters, writers, and artists can handle OGNs and sell okay.
And there's been like 7 of them and only two of them I'd consider actually good.
>>83327639
>>83327703
>>83327748
>>83327855
>>83327888
Sorry. I remembered it wrong. I just checked, and it was actually someone asking if DC would decide if she's Asian or not.
https://desustorage.org/co/thread/83134205/#q83136191
Not gonna lie. For once, I'm pretty happy I was full of shit.
>>83328059
Somethingsomething racism. Somethingsomething sexism.
There, I saved you time.
>>83328059
they hated almost everything, and apparently their comments hated on them, but I can never see where the CA comments ARE?
OP or others in this thread, have you been reading Copra? Curious to hear your opinions if so.
>>83328059
They hated literally everything about it.
>>83327855
Either that or they don't realize Park is a Korean name as well as an Anglo one?
>>83328059
I only saw the parts people posted in one of the Rebirth threads. It was just generally dismissive and spiteful. I try not to bother with stuff like that unless it's for the memes.
>>83328104
>>83328118
>>83328146
wow, now I wanna dig it up and read. I had no idea CA had comments cause my only exposure to them was Khouri making fun of people when he banned them
>>83328138
I'm reading the trades since by the time I heard about it the first few issues were long gone. I really love it, it's the only ongoing cape comic I'm reading right now
>>83328022
LO3W was some fine, thick continuity porn that was also a lot of people's first Legion exposure
Hell, Blackest Night was basically my entry into the DCU and that dug pretty deep into continuity

>Andrew: Saying that New 52 Wally is just a version, and in fact a product of this miserable broken universe, and having two white men tearfully embrace over the truth that the “real” and white Wally West is still out there, that sends a message that ain’t hope, no sir. We’re being told very clearly and plainly that the priority here isn’t growth or change, it’s pandering to the childhoods of middle-aged men.
I mean nevermind the fact that people who grew up with Wally as the Flash aren't middle aged right now and that plenty of women and minorities love Wally and now you have a Wally that everybody liked and a chocolate Wally who will now have the opportunity to be liked and accepted as a character because he's not a poorly written roadblock to a different character anymore
>>83326950
Morrowind is hot garbage, m8. Roll a DF character and tell us about that.
>>83328221
>Hell, Blackest Night was basically my entry
Same.
>>83328173
I'm just going by
>We were mad about pretty much everything, to the unending annoyance of our comments section.
Personal Files issues are fucking great
>>83328228
there is only so much old graphics I can handle, and I started playing games on an Apple IIe, owls
I keep meaning to acquire COPRA. People, you may send me COPRA or something.
>>83326950
Morrowind Very good. about to play all 3 witcher games
>>83328348
Why is the SS support team so based
>>83328118
on my computer they pop up when i scroll to the bottom of the page, but when I'm on a mobile they never show up
>So this is less a review of the book itself and more of a list of worst-case scenario fantasies about what this book means, I guess.
>Is ANYONE in the roundtable actually non-white?
>Why is half of this review just talking about how its apparently racist to reintroduce a fan-favorite character? Honestly. It stupid that they explain it away as some kind of long lost family thing, but past that why can heroes co-exist?
>This is funny, becasue reading Comic Alliance the last few years feels like Dr. Manhatten also retconned your website years ago to make it a dark, cynical place.
>I totally don't agree with Wally (the white) coming back as something racist. As a person of color I grew up with Wally being the main Flash. The new Wally was marginalizing the old Wally, not the other way around. You don't show a character's whole life and then say, 'ignore that,' he's no longer a white adult married with kids, he's a young, black high school student who so far will not be as interesting as the previous version.' That's what I thought I was being told and I don't like it. I can't believe one of you said that you'd be happy if Wally sacrificed himself, for what? This ain't Crisis.
>>83328221
I wonder what it must be like for a person to hate their own race so much.
>>83328375
I still need to play the DLC for Witcher 3. I just got preoccupied with Enter the Gungeon, Dark Souls 3, and now Overwatch
>>83328375
Man, I have so many games I want to play but can't because my computer is so old.
>tfw my computer cockblocked me from even playing Stardew Valley
>>83328221
See, that old excuse of "it's hard to get into because of continuity" is bullshit. Especially now with the popularity of heavily serialized TV shows, of course people can easily follow this stuff. The lack of new readers is almost certainly due to lack of time, lack of interest, and the still persistent social stigma attached to comics.
>they hated most of it
I don't think Comics Alliance likes anything.
Besides, I thought making NuWally into Old Wally's cousin was actually a pretty slick move.
COPRA is fucking amazing by the way
>tfw the one character spotlight floppy you want is sold out
>>83328270
>>83328221
reading it now, it comes across as being burned so much by DC they don't trust them at all. which is a position that's dependable but there's some strange stuff. Like the shots at Wally coming back that just seem like petulant? Even if I think they have a point.
also bitching about Wally/Linda and other romances that have been missing bc they're straight relationships.
>>83328388
>more of a list of worst-case scenario fantasies about what this book means, I guess.
not wrong
>>83328428
Same. but god damn Witcher 1 combat is frustrating.
>>83328348

I have to spend 1000 to build a good Gaming pc.

Yeah Lo3W was first for me and it made me want to learn more about them. It's not bad to reference old things if you can do it in an accessible way.
>that review excerpt

It's a fascinating thing to behold.

>t people who grew up with Wally as the Flash aren't middle aged right now
I mean he took over the title almost 30 years ago
>Andrew: I am mostly filled with a sort of boiling rage at the marginalization of Wally West in favor of White Wally West.
must....not....tweet at him.....about..Wally...being in more books than White Wally.
yeah the ellipsis got tedious you got the joke
>>83328451
It's just weird, and all about timing, so battles become rhythm games.
>>83328478
I think I got a Witcher game in a Humble Bundle
I still have to play Dragon Age Origins, shit
>>83328444
all these overwatch shit is just mean tempting

I feel liked Giving up and skipping to Witcher 2 and 3
>>83328537
>I still have to play Dragon Age Origins, shit
It all goes downhill after the first one.
PS CA's headline is offensive to the actual levels of confusing continuity that Hawkman has.
>EVERYONE IS HAWKMAN NOW
>>83328495
But they're white, so it's bad. Even though the black kid is still part of the family and wasn't retconned away and might actually get interesting development because of this.
>>83328491
Yeah I need to build a new one too.
>>83328537
>>83328520
kick, punch, it's all in the mind
>>83328514

>>83328448
>also bitching about Wally/Linda and other romances that have been missing bc they're straight relationships.
Only a radical sect tend to be the ones bitching about that. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely on Team #GiveDianaAGirlfriend, but I ain't about to demand that Steve stop existing.Diana/Steve/Artemis OT3
>>83328605
Will the fact that he sacrificed himself in Flashpoint ever be touched on?
>>83328602

>>83328558
You should stick with it. Witcher 1 is quite short and satisfying once you get past the crappy opening level.
>>83328591
Oh my god I ran into someone's SHITTY Hawkman opinions due to a mutual on the TL this morning and I sat on my hands
>>83328591

Not that fucked. How much of the DCU centers around Donna Troy? I mean, Hawkman has been in the JSA and the JLA and has had his own series, so he can potentially make more stories confusing.
>>83328721
>>83328799
Poor Donna. She's such a continuity nightmare that 52 and the 2000's Titans run just straight up explained that she's literally a living continuity error. I hope they keep that for NuDonna. Gives her an interesting gimmick.
>>83328822
still sad we never got to see what XS/Wildfire would've been like
>>83328862
too realistic :(
>>83328954
Is quite the opposite
Fast pace
No health Regen
And weapon wheel along with Key card hunting.
>>83328817
Yes, and it's self aware
The Doom Marine wakes up from a stone sarcophagus that people were worshiping
Also all that you would expect: fast movement, no recharging health, and no reloading guns
>>83328954
Eve got some amazing new hair with the demon, I'd take that trade
>>83328862
Looks kinda like Metroid Prime.Though that's almost certainly just me being a sad, bitter fanboy projecting his desires.
>>83328930
Jenni has no luck whatsoever with the gents. Unless one shows interest in her, then she fails to notice.

>you will never sit and watch porn with The Wall
>>83329008
hmmmmm...
I never did get into those new-fashioned FPSes where you could actually shift the angle of your gun.
>>83328445
>Besides, I thought making NuWally into Old Wally's cousin was actually a pretty slick move.
It was brilliant when I heard it but then I found out that they did the same thing with Hal Jordan a while back too, and it's even better.
>>83329028
Guess who backhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcJO6VpZvsk
>>83329046
>>83329046
We avoided that fate. From what I understand they've been making this game for 8 years and about 4-5 years ago they scrapped the entire thing because it was just another modern shooter, but in Hell
>>83329087
Airwave!
>>83329046

G-good? Amanda Waller's taste in porn is her own damn business.
>>83329141
You know how you can look up and and down? You couldn't do that, originally. JUMPING? hahahaha no.
>the relentless grimdark garbage that the New 52 had shoveled from the beginning had driven me completely away from DC's lineup. I had been reading every title they published prior to Flashpoint, and as of this month, I was reading Starfire and Justice League 3001.
honey, if you were reading everything pre-FP, you were reading a LOT of grimdark
OH SHIT LOOK WHO'S HERE
Wolfenstein, Shadow Warrior and Doom managed to make their comebacks. now is Duke turn, I doubt Gearbox will put much effort into Duke.
>>83329233
>You know how you can look up and and down? You couldn't do that, originally. JUMPING? hahahaha no.
Oh, that. Gotcha.
>>83329163
Shut up bitch, you know you love it.
>>83329243
guess who has two thumbs and could run the original Duke Nukem platformer games from memory once upon a time
>>83327731
Someone who only got into comics with The Avengers here.
I've read so many comics to get to know some of the characters I've come to love, I'm doing some of the recent "Massive /co/ storytimes"
>>83329233
Ironic that she listed JL3K, considering its Scorched Earth tactics towards the end of the run.
>>83329233
jesus if you were reading all of DC pre Flashpoint you might need some help. nothing was good.
like holy cow.
also Dr Light pre-ruined forever
>>83329233
Justice League 3001, the book that slaughtered half the cast?
>>83329233
It's weird, I never read Identity Crisis but I still can't help but think of it when he shows up in stuff.
>>83329233
>Dr. Light
Huh. I'd never seen him without the headgear. He looks like some dude you'd see around your neighborhood. ... Which is oddly fitting, actually.
>>83329273
I was looking forward to the fan 3d Remake damn Gearbox

>>83329233
Wasn't Batgirl pretty much the only book that wasn't grim and/or dark immediately pre-FP? I'm pretty sure that's why everyone liked that book so much
also JL3001 got super dark for several issues
>>83329307
Xombi was good
>>83329350
also Superboy. still not many, maybe 5?
>>83329350
And cut tragically short.
Also, Giffen filling in on Booster Gold.
>>83329273
>>83329388
>>83329459
this fuck thinks he can play the game on the same level as a Waller or an Eiling, huh
>>83325491
Aw, so Len's sister doesn't show up, uncharacteristically handsy?
>>83329493
>>83329493
Or even a Max Lord.
>>83329233
I think there's an argument that by completely throwing away the old continuity, DC was hurting their ability to eventually stop being super grimdark at a later date since most of the non-grimdark stuff was no longer available to draw on.
But five years later I don't think that holds water any more. And it doesn't defend the books being published at the time either - on either side of Flashpoint.
>>83329493
man how was Janus Directive the only big cross over between all this stuff. late 80s DC Military/Government stuff is so good.
>>83325575
Porn, and LUKE CAGE, POWER MAN.
>>83325801
how the hell do you pronounce badb
>>83329380
There was Cornell's Action Comics before the Doomsday crossover nonsense, Batman Inc, Snyder's Detective run, Stephgirl, Jonah Hex, REBELS, Secret Six... not much else, true. But there's always bad and good.
>>83325734
>>83325777
Damn Rudy Giuliani for destroying the purity of the New York spirit embodied in these pages.
>>83329569

According to wikipedia, like 'bayve' or something like that.

Fucking paddies can't even speak the Queen's English.
>>83329634
are Irish names extra bizarre and hard to pronounce or am I just a dumb american?
thinking of Siobhán/Shvaughn too
Now that you guys mention Pre Flashpoint how this. Post Smith and Brad Meltzer
>>83329648
>more?
Yeah one more would be good the we could start with Deadshot before going into more Squad
>>83329696
>are Irish names extra bizarre and hard to pronounce
I think they do it on purpose
There's an Irish lady at work named Aoife, I would never have guessed in a million years how to pronounce that
>>83325971
What's the cover date on this issue?
Is this before or after the '93 WTC Bombing? Was Ostrander Sigil Magicing Khalid Sheikh Mohammad into attacking with the Jihad stuff?
>>83329696
Old irish orthography started with classical latin orthography, i.e. lacking sounds that exist in irish.
Basically
>9th century monk: write your language using latin letters.
>irish guy: what letter makes a "v" sound?
>9th century monk: well, anyway, i have to be going.
>>83326138
Wait,Bendis is making MJ into War Machine?He can't be stopped fast enough.
>>83329758
I only have old-ass scans of Deadshot, tho
>>83329722
J. T. Krul GA Brightest Day era was REALLY BAD
>>83328954
>Eve's Shadowstuff leaking out
>Quagmire's mystical muck eventually leaking out and drowning Dr. Decibel
Ostrander was such an amazing guy. I really miss him.
>>83329802
nah, I think a new black woman
>>83329815
How is Winnick run. I stop reading after Archer
Quest
>>83329765
September 1988, so five years earlier.
And yeah, my least favorite part of digital uploads is how they often remove indicia, price, and cover dates.
>>83329767
Old Irish is apparently also a "lol kill yourself" difficulty to learn language
>>83329815
you will also smell more pee than you have ever dreamed possible

I don't know, how do you?

I am looking forward to his SS one shot in August
