wtf happened to hitch
>>84293675
Friendly reminder that Cyborg is better in J'onn's role than J'onn is and that both Baz and Power Ringette are better Green Lantern characters than Kyle.
>>84293697
>those faces
>>84293733
Kyle is worst gl
>>84293744
That's no John.
>>84293731
Hitch has NEVER been able to draw Wonder Woman.
>>84293731

What?
>>84293773
Darkseid's infantry, lowest of low.
>>84293731
Since when the fuck does WW even use that shit.
>>84293790
Ever since Aquaman's telepathy works like this in New 52.
>>84293736
>mfw Batman is Jenny Sparks.
>>84293814
how would you feel if your best friend died in front of you and someone who looks exactly like him is trying to take his place
>>84293790
Hitch's JLA. Like, issue 7 or 8.
>>84293818
>everybody shoots lasers and shit
>Diana and Arthur throw their weapons
At least Bruce has spare Batarang.
The end.
>>84293828
I didnt read JLA
>>84293823
>Talking shit to a giant monster
>Still inside monster while talking shit
What?
>>84293824
>responding to fake Damifag
>>84293839
This was bad, both writing and art sucked
>>84293834
Jessica and Simon have been quite entertaining, I gotta say
>>84293762
They're an inherently silly genre.
I persnally prefer when they straight up embrace all that silliness instead of forcing themselves to be "serious and mature for mature people such as myself".
That doesn't mean they can't be well written, but they should have a sense of self-awareness.
>>84293818
The fuck is Flash doing?
>>84293665
well, not expecting much. This is gonna be mediocre at best considering Hitch's JLA run.
>>84293785
What the fuck is with these dialogs?
>>84293883
Shooting lightning. Awkwardly.
>>84293744
Omega Men redeemed him. Now John is.
>>84293857
Hitch won't be drawing ever again as far as we know. I mean, he'll probably draw a fill-in issue at some point, but he won't be a regular.
But yeah. Definitely, definitely, DEFINITELY not excited for Hitch writing. This was, at least, on par with JLA -- but JLA is mediocre at best, laughably bad at worst. I still have no idea why he's writing this, either. It just seems to be a favor to him from Johns since they never got to do their JL/JLA crossover.
Man, what the fuck happened to Finch's art? He looks horrible here
>>84293903
He still has to pencil JLA #10, so there's a very little chance to draw another JL issueunless but less likely it's an event tie-in.
>>84293839
I actually enjoyed his JLA for the most part, but this was really bad
>>84293857
For real. Felt like it was just going through the motions, with no tension or drama anywhere.
Also, really? A reaper? Somebody call Commander Shepard.
>>84293749
I'm really loving the personality they are giving Baz in this and GL's. They keep this up he's going to be my favorite Lantern
>>84293762
I never claimed it was. I just have lots of fun with it.
>>84293764
Did you actually read Omega Men? The Omega Men won but Vega is worse than ever
>>84293723
Hitch isn't up to Cyborg's current costume?
>>84293755
>Hitch has NEVER been able to draw Wonder Woman.
Eh she looked good here and the following...
>>84293910
You mean Hitch
And honestly Ultimates 2 was his peak
>>84294018
>>84294027
>>84294032
>>84294018
Hitch was surprised when he was announced as the JL Rebirth #1 artist. This causes his remaining JLA issues to let go of their release dates until at least October (double-shipping is possible that time).
>>84293857
Well, at least it's refreshing to read a comic book team with no in-fighting in the issue.
>>84293733
>Geoff Johns fans are this deluded and retarded
>>84293731
Inker is shit. He needs to pair up back with Neary again.
Sad to say this is the first Rebirth issue I really disliked.
>>84294086
Same. There were to be a few bad ones I'm just hoping that it's not to many.
>>84293785
>a reaper
>harvesting humanity
>looks like a crab
So when's Commander Shepard joining the league?
>>84293741
Lois is the best wife
I enjoyed it, wasn't the best Rebirth issue, but it wasn't bad either
>>84293785
>Reaper
>Here to harvest Humanity
Geez, somebody's been playing to much Mass Effect.
>>84293697
God that aquaman shirt texture sucks
>>84293839
I actually really enjoyed this. Was one of the better Rebirth one-shot issues. Stuff actually happened with only a pretty small amount of recap. Jessica and Bazz's interactions remain great.
Some of the art was a bit iffy though.
>>84293785
A wild Mass Effect plot appears !
>>84293731
>>84293736
Wait im confused are they not even going to try arthurs telepathy after it was suggested
Or are they saying that they need to get closer to its brain before he can communicate because that's silly Arthur has chated with things just as large before (admitidly ones on friendly terms with him)
>>84293823
This is bad. This is really bad writing
>>84293749
Wait so are they on the league now or is is more like how they have been dealing with captain marvel
Because a league that changes members sometimes again means they could slowly slip out cyborg
I'm just happy Commander Shepard and the rest of the Mass Effect universe finally has a comic in DC continuity.
>>84294052
Meanwhile, Real Heroes is pushed back another year
>>84293731
>>84293785
>>84293823
That sure sounds like it's ripping off that Doctor Who christmas special that also used a giant organic invasion ship with the same this place is defended line.
>>84293823
Shouldent the green lanterns object to just making it some other planets problem.
Although i think thats probably where there going to go with this make fighting it a green lanterns corps plot.
>>84294484
Maybe the Doctor has said that more than once but I only remember the 11th saying that in his first episode. Was that a Christmas special?
>>84293834
Jesus fuck way to shortsell all the other hero's and organisations protecting earth
Hell earths army's did auctualy win a few victory's against apokalips.
Still I get what there doing with this issue its a show of a return to a more traditional justice league style where they are earths defenders and whatnot
>>84293898
He never did that shit in any version of the comic. It was invented for the TV show.
Anybody going to storytime Green Lanterns? I need more than Superman and Son to wash the taste of this shit from my mouth
>>84294055
Yep.
This comic was mostly just a statement of we are writing good story's again in the style justice league arcs should be.
That's why the dialogue is so stilted
>>84294484
To be fair thats a thing he says a lot
>>84294080
Henriques is Hitch's regular inker nowadays but Scott Hanna is a fill-in.
>>84293898
Since when can flash do that
can he get fired after one issue?
I think almost any writer on DC's payroll would be more interesting than this
>>84294568
He can't. But anon said here that he can on TV >>84294533
Synergy, bro.
>>84293764
But he did nothing for the Bison System.
>>84294598
>implying Hitch watches the Flash TV show
>>84294572
What is Krul doing these days?
>>84294514
10 and maybe 9 used that line.
>>84294612
Who knows, everyone has their vices.
>>84294614
Bloodlines?
>>84294614
Bloodlines mini
>>84294433
I'm not familiar with the JL outside of a few non continuity short runs, Injustice, and the various cartoons. Does Cyborg DO much of anything? He always seems like filler, like hes there as the token techno guy.
>>84293785
>>Reapers
>>ASSSUMING DIRECT CONTROL
Ok, Hitch
>>84294618
Nah 9 didn't. He did have the best speech though and there was nothing about defense in that. Just cold blooded murder against the Daleks
>>84294614
Is Karl Kesel alive?
>>84294673
Yes
>>84294633
>>84294634
Neat, just in time to become JL writer.
>>84294647
Not reall. Even in old comics he was black dude in weird suit.
>>84294681
that actually super superises me and makes me happy
has he written anything recently?
fuck it, give it to him, PAD or Parker and call it a day
delay it like one month and everything is right again
WW and Flash can now throw lightning bolts... what?
>>84294720
Its because daughter of zeus duh
>>84294720
Wonder Woman stole a bolt from Zeus. Flash did it in the show so maybe hitch thought it was neat or something, I don't know.
Dem red boots
What is this even leading up to? Where does the story go from here?
>>84294760
More reapers showing across the world, conflict over trust issues with Superman
>>84294734
isnt that being retconned in wondy's book?
>>84293839
There was a lot of bad dialogue, but the direction is promising. Baz bringing the bantz was the best thing in it.
>>84294778
We have no idea yet. People have jumped onto it being a retcon when Greg called both classic and Azz continuity into question
>>84293824
This, he's upset about his bro dying and a stranger taking his place.

>>84294894
>>84293785
THE REAPERS ARE COMING. CALL SHEPARD
Shepard in the JL when?
>>84295071
Ripping off The Authority too. Nice.
Look, I'll be the first one to note that originality is a lie, but there's a limit.
We should keep a running tally of all the "homages" and such that show up in this book.
>>84294778
All we know is there are several things they may or may not retcon
I want her old, Formed from clay and Steve Trevor stuff
>>84293785
AH YES, "REAPERS".
>>84293771
Man, I wish we got to see Diana and Arthur acting like friends more often. I want more expressions of friendships in my JL in general.
>>84293785
I love me some explicitly telepathic Aquaman.

He's basically the boom-tube-bus. His best parts were his interactions with Shazam during downtime.
>>84295485
>Shazam
Speaking of, where the fuck is he?
>>84294234
who do you think the green lanterns are? Jessica is paragon femshep and baz is renegade maleshep.
Jesus christ what is up with Barry's dialogue?
It's like someone's trying way, way too hard to emulate the cartoon Flash.
>>84295642
>baz is renegade maleshep
Does he have skin cancer?
>>84295705
not yet, wait until he dies and comes back
Is the reaper thing related to the gentry
>>84295844
I fucking hope not but all signs point to yes with Clark talking about how he's here for a reason and whatnot
>>84294547
You can still write an issue like this in a compelling way, the writing doesn't have to be stilted and boring.
>>84295924
True.
I can forgive it slightly more because of it though (only for this one issue though)
>>84294086
Same here. Especially this week where the rest were REALLY good.
Well this art sucks.
This roster is shit.
Justice League of America should be:
Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman
Hal Jordan
Flash
Aquaman
Martian Manhunter OR Green Arrow
>>84293665
>>84293674
kinda prefer the variant>>84293679
>>84296329
Why J'onn? We got Aquaman for telepathic AAAAAAGH moments.
>>84293679
This inker should be fired.
>>84293708
So they don't know that this is the same universe just with modifications made by Manhattan?
>>84296404
nope
>>84293844
You're complining that one of the few things that makes sense in this story doesn't make sense?
>>84293811
>>84293818
>>84293823
>everything is off model
>Superman's costume is drawn completely wrong
Very average.
>>84296352
Henriques? Wait, there's more Hitch JLA issues to ink.
>>84296752
Whoever made that image forgot WW's more obvious manfaces.
>>84293771
It's nice that they're pushing Arthur's and Diana's friendship.
>>84293741
>Clark needs to be convinced to help 1000s of suffering humans
NOT MUH SUPERMAN
This is the only Rebirth book this week I didn't like.
There's going to be another Justice League comic besides this one, right? Because this one looks like it's going to be awful.
>>84293823
>Alright, guys. Now let's pose for a group photo.
>>84296956
Trinity. Don't know about Manapul's writing, but at least the art will be great.
>>84293785
Wait, I knew they were bringing Watchmen in, but are they actually bringing in Mass Effect? Or is this just a brutally blatant ripoff? Does this mean we can have Garrus on the JL? I won't even be mad.
>>84293785
It's clearly starro
>>84293731
when did WW get Zeus's thunderbolt? also;

>>84295698
>It's like someone's trying way, way too hard to emulate the cartoon Flash.
this has been a thing since new 52 began, you are behind dude.
>>84293674
Madureira doing Justice League?????????
I never knew i wanted this.
>>84293839
Welp, this fucking sucked. Hitch is a horrible writer and should just stick to art, but then his art here was some of the worst I've ever seen from him. What a trainwreck. Not to mention coloring mistakes like Jess being black for the whole issue and constantly going off-model should have been caught by editorial.
Please tell me there's also going to be a "Justice League" book alongside JLA, because otherwise JL might actually end up being worse off than the Johns era.
>>84297387
This is JL
They announced a JLA book but they haven't said who's working on it or who the cast is yet
>>84297418
Oh, I guess I just assumed THIS was JLA considering its written by Hitch. Who is doing JLA then?
>>84297454
They haven't said yet
Hitch WAS doing JLA but they delayed it so he could get JL out. JLA is getting rebirthed too but we don't know anything about it
>>84295899
All signs point to no. This is just some new threat.
does DC have a small budget? shouldnt this be their most important book, therefore it should be the one with the best art?
>>84293811
>>84293834
>Flash: Green stuff! JESSICA'S here!
>Simon: She's not alone.
>Flash: Yeah Jess--You were GREAT!
>Simon ...Standing right here, dude...
Does Flash dislike Simon?
>>84297635
Hitch WAS a pretty great artist. Tony Daniels does serviceable art though so the following issue might be good.
>>84297822
Well, Barry is a canon racist.
>>84297822
Flash was trying to train Jessica a little with controlling her fear as Power Ring after Forever Evil, he's just still in big brother mentor mode.
Mass Effect fans continue to be super obnoxious.

But yeah it is a bit of a fuckup
>>84297171
But they already defeated staro during the timeskip and he looked nothing like that
>>84297481
At the very least it's probably something meta or multiversal
>>84297883
Ah yes that makes sense.
That's auctualy a really nice touch of detail
>>84293834
>Red boots
I mean yes but no
>>84293839
Superman needs red trunks and a yellow belt.
>>84293785
>Let me just read its' mind - Huaaaarrghh!
>Let me just do this thing - Overloading!
He is J'onn's true successor.
>>84297993
When has Hitch ever written anything remotely close to meta? He's a remarkably straight forward capeshit writer. It's probably just going to be some OC superpowerful villain.
>>84293811
Hitch keeps having Barry makes quips, but Barry's not really the joker, Hal is, or in this case Baz is.
But I guess he wasn't there yet so Barry was the temporary quipster.

>>84297378
Wanna bet he's drawing Super Sons?
>>84296562
>Superman's costume is drawn completely wrong
Better than the official Rebirth costume if you ask me.
>>84293697
I really don't get the appeal of Hitch's art. Also his writing is mediocre at best
>>84293839
The art quality was pretty shit, but I'd take the costume designs as they are drawn here over what we are getting in the other books, every day.
>>84294234
CRAB PEOPLE
> flash shoots lightning now
> all those terrible barryquips
when will flash be actually useful and written good in JL?
Well... at least we got Arthur interacted with other members of the Justice League as a friend?
This was so hilariously bad, and such a fucking rip-off of mass effect (and mass effect was a rip-off of another book)
The horrible art and dialogues made me laugh though, so not a complete waste of time.
>>84301644
It was inevitable that eventually they would have fucked up one of the Rebirth books, after a series of issues that went from ok to great (tending toward the latter)
It's really unfortunate that the black sheep was the book for their greatest team and the one that included all the characters of those great series
I hear She-Hulk dies in this
>>84302200
It's all downhill from now. Lobdell is coming.
>>84299554
That's a bet i wouldn't mind losing.
So if Batman Beyond is getting a new book, is it going to be Terry again or not? Anyone know?
>>84294450
Isn't Hitch DC exclusive now?
>>84293999
It's not much different than the one he had when Johns briefly wrote him.
>>84293823
>>84293834
>short haired Jessica
HNNNNNGGG
>>84293665
So in this Aquaman can talk to fish, but in his own book it's said he only commands them. Which is it?
>>84294778
Rucka said he was told to keep one specific thing from Azz's run canon which will also be incorporated into the movie. And it's not confirmed, but that'll probably be Zeuss being Diana's father.
>>84295191
>Ripping off The Authority too. Nice.
Honestly the moment I read the preview I was thinking he was going to sort of do the Authority but with the JLA in their place.
Then again Authority was sort of Ellis' response to Morrison's JLA anyway.
>>84296404
That is actually still a problem, these are supposed to be real Pre-New52 Clark and Lois, but they've said they came from "somewhere" that isn't the New-52 Universe. But this universe is supposed to be the Pre-New52 with Manhattan fuckery, even though they've clearly come from somewhere else.
>>84294079
Since rebirth, I don´t trust in no one of DC..
Good option, this was a rare comic.. This level is low for Justice League.

I will fight you IRL you baiting son of a bitch.
>>84304564

Since new 52 I don't trust no one at DC. they just destroy the toys and then put the fault on doc manhattan

>>84299984
>I really don't get the appeal of Hitch's art. Also his writing is mediocre at best
I wonder why he got JL gig?
>>84304794
Johns' was good from Throne of Atlantis up until Amazo Virus
It completely fell apart during Darkseid War and was pretty shit before Throne of Atlantis
>>84304794
Joe Kelly/Mark Waid.
I wish I was kidding.
>>84304880
>I wonder why he got JL gig?
As far as I can tell:
* Was brought into write and draw JLA as his own big, epic thing.
* JLA didn't do too hot in sales, and the workload made Hitch consider stopping. Johns said he'd do some crossovers with the main JL book at some point, perhaps to ease things for Hitch.
* Johns crafts Rebirth, but I'm guessing he also promised to still work on JLA and do the crossover.
* Then he gets more and more wrapped up in the movie side of DC...
* So, rather than boot Hitch off JL, Johns lets him keep the book as an apology for toying with his emotions/expectations.
That's my best guess, anyway. There are any number of DC writers who could have done Justice League and done it better than Hitch -- I just think they were forced to use Hitch.
>>84299984
>I really don't get the appeal of Hitch's art.
You have to think of it in terms of when he got popular. He was big when the predominant artstyle was Image and/or manga-influenced, where the popular artists were Todd McFarlane, Rob Liefeld, Joe Madureira, J. Scott Campbell, Joe Quesada, and others. The only "realistic" artist popular around that time was probably Alex Ross.
The storytelling Hitch and Ellis did together had very noticable differences against Pre-Hitch Ellis Stormwatch, too, and it eventually led to a change in mainstream comic storytelling where there was even more emphasis on "widescreen" and all that.
>>84304538
Yeah if it is the same universe how do New 52 Clark and Lois exist?
>>84306934
Have you not seen the Kal-L and Lois-Two theory yet? It makes the most sense if they just got reborn in place for the other Clark and Lois who were busy with Convergence.
>>84293839
>Flash' ear bolts are missing
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Thanks, OP.
>>84297239
Johns was giving him Wally's humor here and there but this entire issue was like Barry was a 14 year old who just watched the Marvel movies and decided to make his every word a shitty quip.
>>84303875
clearly this one is evolved enough to talk to
So is Justice League no longer a flagship book for the line? This was, by far, the weakest Rebirth book I've read and the story feels inconsequential.
