DC Comics: Rebirth

[GeneralZodLives]

Now they just need to get away from the grim, gritty, murder-rage, I-has-a-sad of the films.

Who says they're not?

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Who says they're not?

I hope they are because the path they've taken so far in the films has been way off--enough so that I'm no longer excited about DC movies. I'm a life-long DC fan that they're going to have to win back.

Would I need to pick up the Rebirth issues as well or can I just start with the #1's if I wanted to check this out? I mean I see there will be a Superman Rebirth #1 and a Superman #1 in June, do I need both of them?

Okay, I just read it and was completely unspoiled (thankfully).

MIND. BLOWN.

:eek

This is definitely going to get me reading DC comics again.

Yes indeed. I just got done reading Rebirth and I'm like you. Jaw dropping ain't even the right words. That was immaculate, genius storytelling. Hell, it was a masterclass in comicbook storytelling by Geoff Johns and all who were involved. After last night's finale of The Flash and its Flashpoint implications, Rebirth was like some divine stroke tying the printed page and the screen version of these characters altogether. I'm in awe right now. Speechless even. Its a great time to be a DC Comics fan I can tell you that.

So are they basically merging Watchmen with the regular DC universe?

 

[IrishJedi]

MAYBE. But I actually doubt it. I think they're just using Dr. Manhattan as the device to reset the DCU heroes back to their pre-grimdark state. Again, it's meta as WATCHMEN is one of the reasons why DC went into dark territory for so long. It's pretty dang clever, actually. IF this is indeed what they're doing.

You guys are loving DC's new twist? Lucky...

Just read this. On paper the big twist sounds rage-inducing, in the context of the comic it works perfectly. For the first time in about a decade I actually want to read American comics - specifically DC - again.

The moment in this issue with Barry and Wally genuinely brought a tear to my eye.

I went in on about 10 titles

 

[Shawpaw]

grabbed new supes and Batman. Couldn't buy green arrow/lantern yet. Any others pretty good?

rabbed new supes and Batman. Couldn't buy green arrow/lantern yet. Any others pretty good?

Flash is supposed to be good

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I didn't buy any Superman titles

Same here.

Superman #1 Rebirth was interesting. Definitely some psychological, existential stuff.

Batman #1 was a little forgettable to me IMO.

I look forward to seeing how they play out.

Poor Wally...

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Gonna pick some of the Rebirth issues this weekend.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Think the variants will move?

 

[Shawpaw]

I bought one Batman variant but that's as far as i'll go. Civil war II #1 had a ridiculous amount of variants. Geez
