So far, I'd say Hawkman (which has been Indiana Jones-esque) and Bendis's Superman stuff are what I'm enjoying. Enjoying Tom King's Batman stuff on and off (about to read Batman 53).

Haven't read #6 yet, but agree with METAL and No Justice..... just "too big" with not a lot of breathing room to focus on the characters..... Snyder's run on Batman was great, but he always focused on the characters more than "big ideas" (which he still had, but did alot with the characters still).

Meanwhile, I finally read all the other "New Age of Heroes" comics.....

I like The Terrifics (Fantastic Four feel), The Silencer (quasi John Wick ripoff), and I still am enjoying Sideways. Would prob rank them in that order.

The Immortal Men and The Unexpected are "interesting" in a weird "this might be good down the line" way.

Damage, Curse of Brimstone, and New Challengers are very skippable.

53 was well-written...and I actually like the idea of Batman back in the trunks too but I might take a break from that too...IDK

Maybe I should give a different Batbook a try

this looks/sounds so depressing

Really liked James Tynion's run on Detective Comics, but it is over now, and the current arc/writer doesn't live up to it..... I think James Robinson taking over the book soon.....

Oh no James Robinson always writes 'lots of death'

I liked his Justice League when he was writing the actual book. Did not care so much for his Cry of Justice mini... which I guess is what you are talking about....

Noticed Commander Steel and Power Girl in that Heroes in Crisis promo image..... wonddr what the deal is....

It's about a PTSD center for superheroes but a mass shooting or something happens at the ptsd center and DC is teasing 2-3 major characters will die

Feel like it will be 'beloved' characters like Tim Drake, Roy Harper and Wally West and they'll eventually have to 'bring them back to life'. The main characters are supposed to be Harley, Booster, Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman.

Can't wait for a second crash that'll force comics to be fun again.

I know what the event is... just curious of those characters and how they fit into continuity now....

Don't think they will kill Tim, because he just "died" recently. Wally, maybe, but they just brought him back too, so he would probably come back again very soon after and move his story forward another step.....

Read Peter Tomassi's run on Superman or Super Sons...... very fun....

Superman has become the most 'fun' DC character lately (imo)...started before Bendis was ever at DC, like you said Tomassi's run.

Oh look another big event in DC where everyone's in Crisis.

God I hate this so much.

DC likes it "Crises", Marvel likes its "Wars"

That's the truth!

I recently read ZERO HOUR: A CRISIS IN TIME and enjoyed it quite a bit.

I remember reading that as a kid, and thinking "who are all these lame old dudes?" @ the Justice Society.....

But since then the JSA have become one of my favs and going back and reading Zero Hour now is like "Wow! I can't believe they would just do that! That's outrageous!"

Oh I love Super Sons. Just a really fun book and a great candidate for an animated movie.

I know there's been some cool hero books but overall, everything's so drab. And if it isn't grim dark It's probably some preachy bullshit. DC is more in the clear than Marvel but generally speaking the big deconstruction wave of comics has left us with two universes of barely heroes.

There are lots of individual titles that are fun to read.

Its just the major crossovers that have been shit. If it were up to me I wouldn't even have them as all their fucking tie ins put good stories in other books on hold until the event is finished.

People will one day look back very differently on this film, I believe. One of the best scenes in any superhero film, imo.

It's almost from a slightly better movie.

I fell asleep in the theater while watching man of steel

I thought it was good, only DC film I haven't liked is Justice League. Was just atrocious.

I think Man Of Steel and Batman vs Superman are better films than most MCU films, but I'm also not a fan of the weird 'Marvel vs DC' obsession people have.

If you combined the good bits from Superman Returns with the good bits in Man of Steel, you would have a great Superman movie. As it stands, would much rather watch Superman Returns.

I would not recommend that one

Man of Steel was a really interesting film that wasn't very good. But it's the best of the Snyder films.

I like everything about it besides the plunge into "reality" with the acknowledged deaths of thousands of innocent bystanders.
Zack Snyder does the one thing that pulls the movie out of fun and into a level of self-worth that almost completely undermines the entire concept of Superman. He did the same thing to Batman. You need a bit of a cheeky wink to camera that lets you know you're ok every now and then. Zack Snyder exchanged the winks for more carnage.
It's a decent film but I don't think Snyder knows how to use comic characters. He's still stuck in Watchmen mode where everything has to die horribly and nobody cracks an honest smile.

He at least had plenty of laughs in Justice League which was actually the only thing that saved it from a negative review. Ezra Miller saved an entire movie that Zack Snyder tried his best to destroy.

Oh and Amy Adams. She is a good actress but not in comic adaptations or science fiction films.

I also liked what joss whedon did with justice league

Justice League went too far in the other direction. I don't have an issue with the DCEU being the more gloom of the two big universes. It was only BvS that pushed it to a depressing degree. Something a tad lighter than Man of Steel (Wonder Woman really) would be the right tone.

What's Superman holding?

The Phantom Of The Opera mask or a BAFTA award trophy, or perhaps it's a BAFTA for the Phantom Of The Opera.

The counsellors at The Sanctuary wear white bedsheets and golden masks. You can see a few in the background. Superman is holding an empty one that is all bloody.

Can't even win a BAFTA

Thought it was Psycho Pirate's mask.

Action Comics 1002 really good
