Ray's Official DCU Megathread the 3rd: Countdown Edition - Now on Earth-OOMPH!

[Matt O'Keefe]

BTW, everyone in this thread, have you watched Jericho yet? If not, get to it!

I tried to watch it online, but it wouldn't load for me.

[Ray G.]

I tried to watch it online, but it wouldn't load for me.

They may be repeating it this summer on CBS. If not, the DVD comes out in September. The second best new show of the year, just behind FNL.

I say make it a more committed relationship first.

I say seal the deal before she goes out of town. Seriously.


But...The Justice Society Of America were total pussies in World War II :?

Now these bad mofos...That's a different story.

It's very different, but a lot of fun nonetheless. There's a lighter tone, but seriously, some of the best episodes came out of that era. And yes, I believe it is Dini/Timm all the way.

Okay, that's all I needed to know.




BTW, anyone here watch The Wire? I found it REALLY cheap on Amazon a little while ago and decided to buy it. $25, $60 retail:boogie:

I watched the first season on DVD not too long ago and loved it.

I should writer my reviews for this week. Including a special bonus review for New Avengers #31, now that my initial outrage has worn off.

[Matt O'Keefe]

Anyone want to post their pull lists? Here's my DCBS order for August:


ALL NEW BOOSTER GOLD #1
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #12
JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #8
TEEN TITANS #50
EX MACHINA MASQUERADE SPECIAL
FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN #23
SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN #40
CAPTAIN AMERICA #29
DAREDEVIL WRAPAROUND #100
LAST FANTASTIC FOUR STORY
IMMORTAL IRON FIST #9
WORLD WAR HULK #3
INCREDIBLE HULK #109
WORLD WAR HULK FRONTLINE #3
NEW AVENGERS #33
THOR #2
X-FACTOR #22
ASTONISHING X-MEN #23
CRIMINAL #9


Booster Gold is just a try-out, since it only cost me $.75. If I like it I'll buy the eventual trade.

JLA, Sensational Spider-Man, & Astonishing X-Men are all ending their runs pretty soon. I also added Friendly for one issue just because they're finally doing the Peter/Jonah confrontation. I'll buy One More Day, just because after his run with JRJR I can't imagine not seeing JMS finish his run.

Books I'm thinking about dropping and buying only in trade: Iron Fist, all Avengers books

I'm starting to regret not waiting for trade with World War Hulk, my wallet's getting way too light

I actually liked NA, but sheesh, the sheer potential for retcons and continuity funny business there is just plain ridiculous.

Seriously, Ray, you have got to admit that that's ridiculous.

DC has made retcons and continuity fixes their game for years now.

Marvel just found a way to jump into the game in a BIG way. This has so many openings for outs it's hystercial.

The Monitors are good. But God damn, I thought this issue of Supergirl was utter shit! Maybe the worst issue of the entire run. And I loved the first two chapters of the arc!

I wasn't going into the issue that excited. Oh boy another fucking Supergirl vs. Supergirl fight. I thought it was pretty sweet when the two girls "merged." I was thinking aw shit my sassy villian dating Supergirl's gone then boom Sassy Kara is back and talking trash. I hope she runs into a New God in the next issue.

She's a slut.

I don't think we've seen enough to judge. She likes her new powers, and then she fights Abortionbeast. It's going to take a little while before we see how these powers truly affect her mind.

Abortionbeast. :nonono2:

[Vonn Hennigar]

She let a child killing Genocidal maniac escape justice cause she got "her" powers back.

She showed be tried at the Hague and imprisoned for aiding and abetting.

Yeah I thought abortionbeast was lame. But that's gotta be just the first of these demons or magic beings Mary is gonna run into. The Rock of Enternity was pretty big and parts of it are all over.

But why the fuck did Black Adam give up his powers so easy? I don't buy the fact that he gave Mary all his power.

Meh. Forerunner is just another run-of-the-mill psuedobadass sent in to advance the story. Plus, she's an elf chick. Nothing special there. Abortionbeast will go down in legend.

I'm not digging the Donna Troy/ Jason Todd dynamic yet. And do you know why Inertia looks like he is in his mid'twenties now? Last I saw him he looked 12. (But that was in Impulse:o )

[Vonn Hennigar]

Someone explain how Power Girl has somehow escaped the Monitors gaze?

I was too busy trying to figure what the fuck was going on in that indecipherable mess of a comic to really notice.

Mostly why anyone would think it's a good idea to feature the LOSH from 2 continuitys ago in such an already busy premise so early into the runs of your top 2 books effectively killing any story/narrative momentum.

Oh and the writers basically screaming at the top of their lungs that this new Legion Of Super-Heroes (You know gasp the one that's actually being published at the moment) doesn't really count cause they're not really the "Real True" Legion.


That's just scratching the surface though. I LOATHE the Lightning Saga in ways i can't properly describe.

I wouldn't go that far, but I agree in principle with Vonn. Both books were, IMO, really firing on all cylinders (I konw a lot of people felt JLA was too slow, but I liked it), and this current storyarch has killed a lot of the momentum for me.

But I've never liked the Legion. I bet for a bunch of Legion fans it's a really cool story.

I undestand what you saying, but the Lightning Saga started in JSA issue one. The second we say the new Starman. I'm holding out hope this storyline helps define why Starman is in our time and why he is a whackjob.

I also dislike the whole Superman was once a legionnaire thing. But DC is bringing the Silver Age back and I've realized there's not a damn thing I can do about it. I just hope I get to read some sweet JLA stories. Meltzer ain't gonna be on JLA forever.

The silver age circle jerk going on in those books is a little much. And yeah, featuring the original Legion is probably a mistake. In my opinion Superman still should've travelled to the future and met with them and hung out with them, but after the first crisis that future should've been wiped out and all that should've remained was Supermans memories.

Countdown #46 $2.99 –Mary fights a monster made out of dead babies? Well that’s just creepy! And Sleez? Wasn’t ever expecting to see him again. I’m really enjoying the Jimmy stuff. It’s just got that classic “Superman’s Pal” feel to it. Not sure how I feel about these Monitor agent things yet.

Green Arrow Vol 3 #75 $3.50 – Kind of weird that they are making Deathstroke a big GA bad guy, when he really can’t beat him. This is a guy that he really can’t beat. It also just sort of ran out of steam at the end.

Green Lantern Corps Vol 2 #13 $2.99 - Mogo sterilizes himself with an asteroid. Cool! I’ve really been enjoying the build-up to Sinestro Corps.

JLA Classified #39 $2.99 – This has been one of the better arcs in this book. It’s fun, and nice to see this team in action again.

Justice (DC) #12 Cover A Heroes $3.99 – I was a huge fan of this series and I’m gonna miss the heck out of it. It’s just classic stuff with beautiful art. (and Ch’p! Freakin Ch’p!) I hope the ending means that we’ll see a Legion series from this creative team.

Superman Batman #36 $2.99 – Not bad, maybe a little over complicated.

Trials Of SHAZAM #7 $2.99 – When will it end? When?

Having met Ray...if he taught at camp, he'll either be mistaken for one of the kids or he'd be one of those camp counselors that are suckered into the woods and whom the kids eventually tie to a tree.

And what's the over/under on how many times that Ray shrieks during the movie from all the fan boy moments??

I can't stand the Monitor story, personally. The "History of the Multiverse" is just replaying all the corniest moments in comics, and there's really no need to bring it back.

I respectfully disagree. Sometimes I wonder why we accept somethings which seem utterly ridiculous, but at others we reject them as nonsense. Going into the movie we know that it will be different than the comics so we should be more accepting. So he steals his surfboard- we have no problem accepting that he shoots electrical shit, Reed stretches, the Thing, and Johnny flames on, but we have a problem with that. I know it's not canon, but I think it worked ok for the movie.

I fell asleep during the first movie...it was THAT bad. This one, I would turn down seeing if someone offered to pay for my ticket and snacks. 90 minutes in a theatre on a nice day to see this movie seems like a HUGE waste of time!

I honestly wouldn't object if they did that. Gail's WW comic will basically be the first serious issue of the character since Rucka's run.

[Vonn Hennigar]

Well that's because Jodi Picoult's run is anything But. Why you would hire a big name mainstream writer to essentially just do some basic Crossover tie-in fill-ins is a mystery i'll never understand.

And fuck the haters Allan Heinbergs & Terry Dodsons opening 4 issues were a BLAST to read.

Considering Wonder Woman and FUN usually go together like Peanut Butter and Horse Shit that's a pretty big accomplishment.

Gail Simone meanwhile has written one project i've enjoyed (Villains United) so i'm not exactly doing back-flips over her ascension. Then again after this dull Amazons Attack anything would be a relief.

My guess is, they're just being clever. Ollie's MIA or captured for the first arc, and Black Canary teams up with her new stepson to get him back. Hijinks ensue. The status quo is restored by the second issue/arc.

2 In The Top 10
9 In The Top 25
19 In The Top 50
34 In The Top 100

The Good - Justice League Of America is a smash commercial hit. Whatever you think about it, it should be DC's number one book and it certainly is. All-Star Batman And Robin despite it's haw schedule and critical bashing is still a Top 10 book. Then again it is Jim Lee and Frank Miller on Batman! Blank pages that they spit on would still move 50K. 52 wraps up solidly but to no one's surprise sales didn't really improve. But again it's the 52nd issue you're not going to have many impulse buys there. Justice Society Of America is WAY up on it's JSA numbers and looks to stay there for a long time to come.

The Meh - Countdown despite being fully returnable debuts to mediocre numbers all told. We'll see what it does next month, if it falls out of the Top 25 like issue # 48 indicates then it's disappointing if it recovers then no problems. Either way not bad but not great either hence well Meh! Batman by Morrison/Kubert does another solid number. Superman/Batman is STILL a Top 10 book from DC (uh Top 10 FOR them) which is astounding. Teen Titans and Green Lantern both ship 2 issue's each this month and it's business as usual. With the upcoming creative team changes on TT and the Sinesto Corps storyline it'll be interesting to see how these books fare. ( My guess one goes up, one goes down at least a lil) Wonder Woman does fine all considering. Action Comics and Superman meanwhile have lost all momentum and the sales show it. These are just 2 more books on the shelve at the moment and that's a shame. Detective Comics looks like it'll fall out of the Top 50! and Jesus wept. Seriously i don't understand this one at all :? Maybe people feel single issue storylines = inconsequential stories??? They're wrong of course but what else could be going on?

The Bottom 50

Supergirl falls out of the Top 50 and Jesus Clapped. Flash is a dead book walking and sales show it. Amazon's Attack meanwhile is a real disaster. Horrible numbers for this sort of thing and it's tie in book in Wonder Woman is out-selling it handily. Exhibit A of an event that people don't seem to care about. It's selling Silent War numbers except Silent War got lost in the shuffle at Marvel while Amazon's Attack is DC's big party for WW.


Whoa what the hell happened here? # 56 all the way to #71??? with no DC books That's not good :no: These bread and butter books all seem to have slipped 10 spots over the last few months out of the blue. Still all told most of these books are fine but Robin and Birds Of Prey have really fallen down the charts recently. Fables and Y:The Last Man continue to support their poor Vertigo brothers. And lastly Checkmate (It's crossover with Outsiders?) boosts it into the Top 100 for the first time in a long while.

Oh and not a single Wildstorm book to be found. Jim Lee must have pictures of Paul Levitz and farm Animals to keep that imprint kicking.

Finished Crisis on Infinite Earths today. Good read- very dense. This would have made a great 52. Spread out, explained, more exposition on the characters and locations.

2 In The Top 10
9 In The Top 25
19 In The Top 50
34 In The Top 100

The Good - Justice League Of America is a smash commercial hit. Whatever you think about it, it should be DC's number one book and it certainly is. All-Star Batman And Robin despite it's haw schedule and critical bashing is still a Top 10 book. Then again it is Jim Lee and Frank Miller on Batman! Blank pages that they spit on would still move 50K. 52 wraps up solidly but to no one's surprise sales didn't really improve. But again it's the 52nd issue you're not going to have many impulse buys there. Justice Society Of America is WAY up on it's JSA numbers and looks to stay there for a long time to come.

The Meh - Countdown despite being fully returnable debuts to mediocre numbers all told. We'll see what it does next month, if it falls out of the Top 25 like issue # 48 indicates then it's disappointing if it recovers then no problems. Either way not bad but not great either hence well Meh! Batman by Morrison/Kubert does another solid number. Superman/Batman is STILL a Top 10 book from DC (uh Top 10 FOR them) which is astounding. Teen Titans and Green Lantern both ship 2 issue's each this month and it's business as usual. With the upcoming creative team changes on TT and the Sinesto Corps storyline it'll be interesting to see how these books fare. ( My guess one goes up, one goes down at least a lil) Wonder Woman does fine all considering. Action Comics and Superman meanwhile have lost all momentum and the sales show it. These are just 2 more books on the shelve at the moment and that's a shame. Detective Comics looks like it'll fall out of the Top 50! and Jesus wept. Seriously i don't understand this one at all :? Maybe people feel single issue storylines = inconsequential stories??? They're wrong of course but what else could be going on?

The Bottom 50

Supergirl falls out of the Top 50 and Jesus Clapped. Flash is a dead book walking and sales show it. Amazon's Attack meanwhile is a real disaster. Horrible numbers for this sort of thing and it's tie in book in Wonder Woman is out-selling it handily. Exhibit A of an event that people don't seem to care about. It's selling Silent War numbers except Silent War got lost in the shuffle at Marvel while Amazon's Attack is DC's big party for WW.


Whoa what the hell happened here? # 56 all the way to #71??? with no DC books That's not good :no: These bread and butter books all seem to have slipped 10 spots over the last few months out of the blue. Still all told most of these books are fine but Robin and Birds Of Prey have really fallen down the charts recently. Fables and Y:The Last Man continue to support their poor Vertigo brothers. And lastly Checkmate (It's crossover with Outsiders?) boosts it into the Top 100 for the first time in a long while.

Oh and not a single Wildstorm book to be found. Jim Lee must have pictures of Paul Levitz and farm Animals to keep that imprint kicking.

Where is Shadowpact?

[Vonn Hennigar]

Where is Shadowpact?

Out of The Top 100. Which isn't that unusual for it. Probably in the #101-109 spots for sure.

So...

They're already spoiling that GA and BC get married. And GA/BC stars the shitty moronic GA, and not the cool one? WHAT THE FUCK? That better be a red herring.

So...I just finished the latest countdown issue and I've got a question. Mary Marvel specifically says that there are piece of the rock of eternity scattered around Gotham, and yet in Countdown to Crisis Mini that dealt with the Spectre they claimed to have gotten ALL the pieces.

am I missing something?

so far I'm really leaning towards dropping this title...

[Hock]

Yeah, I think I'll be passing on all of 'em.

I loved AbortionBeast.

I'm just disappointed Daniel Way didn't think of it first so he could use it in Ghost Rider.

I'm dead serious. AbortionBeast is the best new villain this year easily.

[Matt O'Keefe]

No. I'm not leaning towards it. I've already dropped it.

So have I, put I already pre-ordered 12 issues:(





Have they announced Joe Bennette's next project yet?

[Master Jack Rabbitt]

I enjoy that book. I hope it's not in trouble.

You and me, both.

[lonesomefool]

So I'm reading through the DC new's, and it really doesnt do much for me. I will give Waid's Flash a chance, depending on the artist. The rest, really didnt do much for me.

I will say, I'm amazed people are STILL talking about the written-for-the-trade syndrome, IMO it has gotten A LOT better over the last year or so, just amazed people are still complaining about that.

[YouStayClassy]

So.... Waid's back on the Flash?

Doesn't DC know I'm trying to SAVE money by not buying comic books?! Bastards.....

[Ray G.]

Torres on Wonder Girl and McDuffie on JLA, eh?

Well, DC's not very worried about closing that market share gap, are they? On the other hand, it made it sound like McDuffie was going to be on the book for an extended run, which is what I hoped for.

You know what I didn't like? In the article on the WG mini, there was not one mention of Helena Sandsmark, the Elias school, or Cissie King-Jones and Greta Hayes. Way to miss the boat again, DC.

What u mean man?

Mcduffie is a dependable low-key writer. JLA will take a huge tumble in sales when he comes on, even if it goes up in quality. I expected a bigger name to follow Meltzer.

A Torres-penned WG mini will be lucky to crack the top 100.

That's because it's a bachelorette party. And Clark appears to be the A. :lol:

[Vonn Hennigar]

I think he means that while talented Dwayne McDuffie isn't a sales draw on his own. At least not yet.

JLA is by far DC's number 1 book, can McDuffie keep moving 100k issues a month especially now that the big relaunch enters year 2?

It shall be interesting to watch.

Ah well I think its better to have someone on that can write a good story rather than boost sales.

I might pick this up in trade if I hear good stuff.

Hell yes. Best DCU book coming out.



You...agree with me?

He's a Skrull!:mad:

[twigglet]

What would you people say is a good book to jump onto in DC?

I figure I'm gonna get Wonder Girl (I like Torres), Blue Beetle and will the new Flash book be good?

I have to admit, I was hoping for a bigger writer on JLA to possibly pull me in, Mcduffie is good, but not as great as I imagined.

No way is that really Simonson! It's gotta be a skrull or something, cause that art sucks.

He wrote Sentinel! I only realised this the other day, so I might just check it out, unless it's the anniversary issue, when I'd rather just start with #51.

Y'know what, I think I might just start it then, it coincides with a new job I have which will give me extra money.

Thanks to both you and Rabbit for suggesting Detective Comics, but I have to admit, I tried it on OYL, and whilst it was good, I just didn't think it was good enough for my pull list, I dropped it when there was a fill-in I think.

JSA is an old group of heroes yes? I really know next to nothing about DC :(

I think the Riddler and The Penguin may have been in some issues.

I think I was the only person who didn't like the stories that much based on the reviews.

I am fairly new to DC- about 3 years now, but it hasn't really been that hard to pick up. When I get lost, I check out wikipedia or Wiki-Ray right here on the board. It has been fun learning the ins and outs. I really enjoy DC right now. I almost get as many DC as Marvel. I never thought that would happen.

So i'm checking out this Cliff Chiang guy (The one who's taking over GA/BC natch) and his stuff looks good but his resume looks a bit thin in terms of ongoings.

He did 10 issues of Detective Comics in a row though (Which is news to me :? )

He also did the recent Spectre mini-series. How did that book look?

When will we see more Manhunter? DiDio explained they are getting material stockpiled a little, and that writer/creator Marc Andreyko has a lot of non-comics project going on which is keeping him away from Manhunter for a little bit.

Hmmmm unless they have Kate join a team permanently say the Birds Of Prey or The Outsiders i'd say this "re-launch" is DOA.

You can't hold back long or you'll lose any momentum you had. Manhunter fans enjoy the last arc when it comes out because i honestly can't see it surviving.

I hope Daniel Acuna goes easy on the coloring on The Flash.

If Photoshop has a "Glossy" Button i think Acuna runs his pages through that 3 or 4 times.
