How does the DC Universe service compare to Marvel Unlimited? I know their library is less substantial, but before I try it I’d like to know how much less substantial it actually is.
|
No idea, really.... not available in Canada and haven't read much past the initial announcements and descriptions. Which made it sound like it was just a handful of series and then eventually they take things off and add new things.
|
Heroes In Crisis issue 4 was really good. Great character moments + a big twist at the end. You finally see the scope of why it's a crisis.
|
I think the art in the series might be among my favorite ever in a comic, overall. Each panel is so full of mood, texture and story. Clay Mann is an incredible artist.

The art is fantastic. Dunno about the story. I dig the sanctuary concept, and the confessions leak could be interesting.
No idea where they are going with the murder mystery part though. Also, I missed some very important context because why is Batgirl running around with Harley after she's just murdered a bunch of people? |
Because she thinks she's innocent and can help her find out what really happened. Same for Booster/Blue Beetle.

I really enjoyed Young Justice #1 by Bendis.
It was fun and action-packed. Jinny Hex seems like she will be a really cool character. So glad to see Connor Kent back. Tactile Telekinesis was always a really good superpower imo. https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eyLwr1TqA.../s0/RCO001.jpg |
How does Conner fit in a universe with a new Superboy already flying around? Superteen?
|
Guess we'll find out!
|
I read Young Justice..... I was a big fan of the original series, and have the whole run "back at home"....
New one just seems.... I dunno.... in the original series all the characters and their continuity was "defined".... you knew these characters and how they fit into the world.... now there are just so many questions about the timeline/continuity/whatever...... |
I haven't been to the comic shop in a bit so I haven't read the past few Heroes in Crisis, or seen what Bendis has done to Jon Kent...... I hope he hasn't permanently ruined him.....
|
So far Jon just started puberty and is about the same size as Connor Kent
|
Also, it's only been 1 issue of YJ. You gotta give it several to see where this going. Can't have all the answers to all the things in issue 1.

I'm by no means saying the new one is bad..... I'm just... ummm... saying things |
I hope he explains why Tim Drake went back to Robin, and also doesn't ignore Tim Drake's whole story arc/character growth from his excellent run in Detective Comics......
|
Lock Jaw going to be very unhappy
Bendis has changed Jonathan Kent to being 17 years old. In the comics he was gone for 3 weeks but he says he's been gone 7 years bc he got stuck in a black hole before escaping back to the present. |
Yeah, that sounds terrible if it isn't reversed somehow.....
|
Rumor is Bendis is doing a Legion of Super-Heroes book and Jonathan Kent needed to be aged so he could leave current DCU to join the Legion in the future and be the same age as the other characters - And rumored Bendis wants Connor Kent as the Super Boy of current DCU in his Young Justice series.
|
Just read the first issue of Bendis' new "Naomi" series..... seems interesting....
Also finally read the first two issues of the new Shazam! book..... seems like a lot of fun.... |
After many "he won't be Batman" rumours, it is finally 100% confirmed that Ben Affleck will not be in Matt Reeves' "The Batman" movie.
Also, it is looking highly likely that James Gunn will not only write, but also direct the Suicide Squad sequel, which is now officially called "The Suicide Squad" DC sure likes adding "The" to their titles of late |
Read through Gail Simone’s Clean Room. So much potential, but it ended prematurely because people are shit and don’t buy good comics.
|
Like fucks sake, spider-woman has been cancelled like 3 times, and every time it was awesome.

Reports now say it will be a "soft reboot" with mostly new characters.
|
Yeah that what's I read. Interesting nonetheless.
|
All the DC CW shows have received a renewal for next season.
Woo! More Legends of Tomorrow!! |
Justice League Annual introduced the newest, most powerful, most evil force in the history of DC...Perpetua
https://abload.de/img/2238ks7.jpg |
That’s cool. I’m a sucker for stuff like that.
|
I wondered why more villains don't come out of the Source Wall.
|
Watching Titans because I actually heard good things about it.....
Dunno though.... two episodes in... so far Raven seems good and everything else bad... Robin just impaled a guy through the dick..... |
I also enjoyed 1st issue of Naomi
Enjoying Shazam comic so far, very fun 1st issue of Wonder Twins was a breath of fresh air and funny |
Jimmy Olson and Lois Lane are getting their own comic book series again starting in June!
Jimmy Olson will be written by Matt Fraction, and Lois Lane by Greg Rucka. |
Finished watching "Titans"..... Dunno how it got good reviews.... overall it is not as big of a mess as Marvel's Inhumans, but it is still pretty "not good".....
I liked the episode with the Doom Patrol, though.... I think the Doom Patrol show could be good.... I hope it comes to Netflix too.... |
Are you gonna give Umbrella Academy a go?!
Please do, it's so good. |
Yeah... put it on the list after seeing some of your comments...
Also realizing that I have no willpower and will totally still check out Titans season 2 when it comes out..... |
What else is on the list? Should I check out Punisher or anything else next?
|
On Netflix I still need/want to check out:
- Punisher Season 2 - Daredevil Season 3 - The Back half of the new/last Kimmy Schmidt - The latest season of Orange is the New Black - A Series of Unfortunate Events Season 2 and 3 Not enough time in the day for everything. |
It's a good dilemma to have
