Ha, the biggest mistake.
What's your take on Ed Brisson btw? I've only ever read Sheltered by him, which I kind of struggled to invest in, and dropped after the first volume. He's getting some high profile work at Marvel though, and on books I would ideally follow (OML, Iron Fist) but I dunno... You referenced Bullseye in your Electric write up and it didn't sound good?

I don't have much of an opinion formed of him. He definitely seems capable of doing good work, but Sheltered failed to grab me too
Bullseye, I feel like there was never an idea on the table that could have been a good book...it's perfectly serviceable but this isn't the hardest character to grasp; I don't think it demonstrates anything either way.
I think if there's an interesting idea behind his Iron Fist or OML, they could be good, or they could demonstrate fairly definitively that he isn't ever gonna be a great talent. We shall see...

Haha for sure. Cheers anyway, I just haven't read anything by him since Sheltered, trying to be optimistic. All the writers I liked at Marvel doing this kind of street level or gritty character driven hero stuff, Bru, Fraction, Rucka, now Lemire, all gone </3 I'm finally getting around to picking up DD vol one by Soule which I know you've had your own moments with, but crossing my fingers. All 10.

Wonder where they are going with this.

Just spotted this. At first I assumed this was the Snyder & Capullo thing but nope. Looks interesting. Great image:

You'd have to think this lays the ground work for their event. A way to set up storylines and build interest.

Oh yea, I have no doubt there will be some cause and effect, I definitely agree with you there. I just mean literally, I saw the headline and I was like "oh cool ,this must be the Snyder/Capullo book" and was surprised for it to be a different event. The other thought is how or if this connects to the watchmen stuff, despite no mention of Johns involvement. Lots of crazy stuff happening at Dc right now
If I'm planning on checking out both the champions and the waid/del mundo avengers stuff when they hit trade, would folks recommend the previous all new all different run? Or just skip it all together? Seems like out of 15 issues, at least 5 of them managed to tie in other events which is a little offputting. Deft writers can work their own storylines through that stuff though. What do folks think?
The Snyder and Capullo event is called Metal. We know for sure it will involve Batman primarily, but it's almost confirmed that Hawkman and probably Hawkwoman will play a major role.

I would like a little followup to Darkseid War. Not a ton, but I'd like some info on Baby Darkseid and what all went down with Lex on Apokolips, and if anyone found the Mobius chair on the moon. Also literally anything on Shazam.
Oh sweet return of the back pack. Whatever this is I'm hyped just from that image.

Metal Men rebirth confirmed.

Looking more at that cover a crazy theory comes to mind...what if this is some kind of revisiting of Flashpoint. Or something along those lines. Like they're in universe looking back at Flashpoint and the whole casting and forging of New 52?

Bleeding cool (I know) has some decent speculation in their report. They're going down the line of Batman having eyes and ears everywhere these days, from spy agencies to the teen titans, and militarising his team mates in TEC.

Maybe he is setting up some sort of a centralised agency? One collecting intelligence of all sorts?

In that context and the teaser image, it starts to feel quite brother eye-ish. Batman has overstepped his mark again in surveillance?

Looks like another bad future where Bruce does something that goes too far. I can get on board with that

The Bat emblem and the statue in the cover seem specifically not to be the current Batman to me. Largely what made me think possibly revisiting Flashpoint and looking into what made the New 52 that could possibly be followup from the button but still set up for what is actually supposed to come from all of this.

Had seen Darryl Ayo's thread but missed Akhtar's. Thanks for linking. I think their thoughts overlap a bit and I'd say I'm in agreement with what they're saying.
That first comment on her thread tho
Pls don't forget his art rules

I mean it is a prelude to something that Snyder was building up in his Batman run.

Well yeah, after months of Marvel doing that you'd think they would fire off some small shots in return.

I don't really read events and I can't say I'm a fan of Snyder but thank god it's not a heroes vs heroes story. I don't know how anyone can get excited for those anymore.

Marvel are doing a month of Mary Jane variant covers after their month of Venom covers.
All of them not married to Peter?

I don't know how Snyder has resisted a Batman/Swamp Thing event yet. What happens when a parliament of trees comes face to face with a court of owls?
LordOfLore
Banned
You should ask him on twitter! Would be a fun annual for ASB since we're getting one issue in the normal Batman book.
Probably new fertiliser for the trees
don't make promises you can't keep
I think the Parliament is actually dead.

A haha if I tweet him, it only increases the chances I distract him yours man
Ha! Nice. This was a good outcome. Lore, tweet him that too xD
Haha they might be actually. I really need to read the Soule run from start to finish. Guess that KILLS my joke then.
How far are you now? I've got the first 5 here, but I think I've only actually read 3.
You know, I'm really not into those Mark Brooks covers. Not sure what it is but I'm not feeling it.
I'm just starting cw2 on MU...
