Ray's 7th DCU Megathread - Death of the Fourth OOMPH!!! (Fifth OOMPH Pending)

[Dark Sasha]

She is Barry's Granddaughter and Wally's uncle.

The Speed force is weird.

[jason hissong]

D'oh!!

I guess I should have said...Barry is her grandfather and Wally's uncle!

:lol:

[chazbot]

The Speed force is weird.

The Speed Force has become an overused plot device.

[MAK15]

so apparently WWLA is this weekend.
anything you guys wanna hear?

[Dark Sasha]

But it is soo cool.

Hopefully tonight's DC Nation panel is a little less worthless than the last one.

Coverage should start around 8-ish, right?

Winick and Didio do it again:

A fan asked about the upcoming Judd Winick/Ian Churchill Titans title, and DiDio equated it to the show Friends, and how it's about the relationship and friendship between the characters.

Is that not one of the worst sales pitches you've ever heard?

coulda been a joke.
and I remember a lotta people liking friends.

[Fake Pat]

God, these DC panels are aaaaaaaaaawful.

Didio needs to quit it with the "raise your hands if you like blah-blah-blah". So lame.

FAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLL!!!!!! :frustrat:

This is going to be a trainwreck.

So, is Trigon the meddling father now? He tries to intimidate Beast Boy into treating his daughter right? This'll be good.

Donna will start doing terrible open mike songs at a coffee house.

I will say this though, I have faith in Winick's "jokes" to be just as cripplingly awful as the ones on "Friends".

[MAK15]

if it wasn't open to a fan Q&A, and they spent more time hockin' what's coming out, what's in the works and had more pics, I think it'd be better.

[Ray G.]

I sense lots of "Starfire's a slut" jokes, Beast Boy being reverted back to frat-boy personality, many references to Raven being "goth" or "emo", and Nightwing being portrayed as an uptight Cyclops rip-off with daddy issues. LOL

[MAK15]

what I'd like ta see in one of these uber conventions:
Joe Quesada and Didio playing Rock 'em sock 'em robots.
Didio playing with Batman, JoeyQ with Spidey.

[Fake Pat]

if it wasn't open to a fan Q&A, and they spent more time hockin' what's coming out, what's in the works and had more pics, I think it'd be better.

Bingo.

These feel like perfect little examples of how Didio doesn't get it. He runs these things like focus groups. You can't simply find little formulas to make your books successful.

edit:
DiDio ended the panel with a quick survey of the audience, asking them how long they'd been reading comics, which resulted in a wide variety of answers.

WTF?

[Fake Pat]

I love the fact that even the fans at DC panels look like they're starting to turn a little:

DiDio asked the audience about Jim Shooter's current Legion of Super-Heroes - who was reading it and if they liked it. A fan that indicated he wasn't satisfied said that he liked what Mark Waid and Barry Kitson were doing, and was disappointed so far about the Shooter run. Another fan said it was "really flat."

This led to DiDio asking fans about their favorite Aquaman - the original, the Peter David harpoon-hand Aquaman, and the current Arthur Curry Aquaman. None of the three received too warm of a reception.

DiDio then asked fans if DC could publish a comic called "Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes," who would buy it. "You got the name back?" an audience member quipped. "I said if we could do it," DiDio responded. "I don't want any more rumors starting." The response to the question from the audience was lukewarm, with only a few hands being raised before DiDio moved on.

maybe they're doing too many conventions? or perhaps they're waiting till april before really telling the audience how it's gunna be in the summer...

[Fake Pat]

Post-Countdown spinoff? DiDio said no, that the Countdown story ends with issue #1. Beechen said that he's seen pages from #1, and that it's a big ending and "really cool." DiDio then admitted, as he has in the past, that he thought Countdown may have had too many tie-ins.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh.

[The Doctor]

thanks.
i think...
No problem buddy:thumb:

dear lord those DC panels are bad.

sigh. not one thing I'm looking forward to and Didio looks like hasn't a clue.

Cmon DC. get your act together.

Kick him upstairs, at the very least. He hasn't made any firing mistakes, but he should NOT be the public face of the company.

[The Doctor]

Ray and Steve should do DC panels

Ray: Countdown will be good in the end! You'll see! You'll all seeeee! Oh and Anarky can hold his own series! He can!!!!!

*Steve phones nut house*

And I'll keep them on speed dial for when Steve starts talking about his Legion of Super-pets maxiseries. :)

It would be fun, at least.

I don't know, maybe not direct firings, but there's certainly been an awful lot of unhappy creators and people jumping ship.

[xanderharris]

I don't know, maybe not direct firings, but there's certainly been an awful lot of unhappy creators and people jumping ship.

agreed. I have nothing against him personally but he is definitely not the right guy for his current position. He needs to go ASAP. The problem is Levitz and the rest seem to think there is no problem at all.

Yeah, I would imagine he's not helping things either.

Regardless of your personal feelings on The Boys, it was one of the few bright spots in the WS line. I find it quite hard to believe Levitz had nothing to do with how things went down there.

Yeah that was like giving someone money and them flushing it down the toilet.

An odd business decision

Marvel makes them too of course

G'night you DC nutters

:mrgreen:

True, but I'd say the ratio's been awful lop-sided lately.

[Ray G.]

:wave:

Although, after seeing the second arc's utter evisceration of the Bat-mythos, I can't blame DC for dumping The Boys. Their problem was picking it up in the first place.

Wildstorm proper and things like The Boys/Ex Machina are something completely different.

I have no idea why those two books aren't Vertigo anyway.

Well as I was saying, one isn't because Levitz is a whiner. :)

I'm with you on Ex Mach though. I've said for a while that WS should shut down, make Ex Mach Vertigo, and release WS properties as specials and mini-series under the DC banner. They've folded the universes together. Just slap a WSU logo on the covers under the DC one. People who know comics enough to follow WS won't be confused.

thats a good idea actually and might actually revitalize the WS imprint briefly at least. At this point there is no reason to even have wildstorm. When Freddy vs Jason vs Ash is one of your breakout hits of your superhero universe you have problems.

Without top creative teams, these characters just don't sell. The numbers for their event book should really just show them it's time to pack up shop.

[Dark Sasha]

No Country for Old men was fan-fucking-tastic.

[Fake Pat]

100% correct on all points. Maybe we should just start ignoring each other in political threads. We're on an agreement streak lately. :)

I was talking to ashwin about this the other day. He was saying something along the lines of bringing Joe Casey back, and letting Gage do more stuff, while waiting for Morrison's scripts to get back on track. And while I think Casey and Gage are both fine writers, the numbers lately just prove that without a name as BIG as Morrison with Lee or Ha, there's 0 interest.

If you really wanna get people back into the WSU, you just gotta let it go away for a while. When Morrison, Lee, and Ha have a bunch of stuff in the can (no matter how long it takes) bring it back. Until then, just stop for a while.

[Fake Pat]

No Country for Old men was fan-fucking-tastic.

Damn straight. I still give There Will Be Blood a sliiiight edge over it.

I just don't feel like I've ever seen a movie like Blood before. No Country was great, but didn't feel as unique to me.

Also, Daniel Plainview is the Goddamn Batman of the movie world.

I'm confused about Kreon and Graf Toren.

Ok, this is Kreon, right?

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f8/Graf_Toren.JPG

He has the web constructs. Cool.

And I know that he died

But..

this is supposed to be Graf Toren:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c3/General_kreon.JPG

And it says "General Kreon"? What the hell? It also says you never see a beam from his ring, but recently I've seen him doing the web constructs.

So...what's up with that?

Nevemind, just read that issue again, and it seems that it was just bad caption placement. They were both in the same panel, but Kreon's captions were on the bottom for some reason.

[jason hissong]

Grass is green, the sky is blue, coatgirl has a boyfriend.

Why is this news?

[Hock]

How would you explain that? The yellow impurity was Parallax in the power battery, it wouldn't really make sense with any other rings.

unless there are other, parallax like beings. I mean, why would there only be Parallax?

[Hock]

I have to poop.

Thanks for sharing.

[Hock]

And I just did!!! :lol:

True Story.

I try to save it for work, so at l;east I'm getting paid for doing it.

I can forgive Didio though, for that at least (not for other things. :mad:) He's probably not all that with it when it comes to the pop culture.

Hasn't made any firing mistakes? Like that's praiseworthy. He hasn't really been bringing the talent in as well as Marvel has been doing or anything. And whenever he gets his hands dirty it's almost always shit. At least Quesada is only like %50 shit. Kick him to the curb.

[Deej]

Yeah, I would imagine he's not helping things either.

Regardless of your personal feelings on The Boys, it was one of the few bright spots in the WS line. I find it quite hard to believe Levitz had nothing to do with how things went down there.

It was a bright spot at WS...but I could see how they were scared by that second arc. That just screamed too much of gay bashing amongst the characters...and then Ennis trying to force feed us that in actuality, it's not. I'd imagine there would have been a big stink about it, with more media attention if it came from one of the big 2 companies.

[Deej]

I try to save it for work, so at l;east I'm getting paid for doing it.

That was at work!!

[The Doctor]

True, but I'd say the ratio's been awful lop-sided lately.

Oh totally

DC is pretty much crossing their fingers that Final Crises works out

[Deej]

This issue really is a mess. The story's going in all sorts of wierd directions, and very few of them makes sense. First up, Green Arrow wears a fat suit and Black Canary plays his gun moll as they interrogate a crime lord about some kind of massive airship that they think shot Connor. Wait, but I thought Connor was shot by Killer Cloud because he used to be a Titan. So there's two Killer Clouds now? Ollie occasionally throws fits(and chairs) out of frustration because they have no leads as to who took Connor's comatose body. Then, the giant airship starts chasing them. A really big, over-the-top car chase scene ensues, and ends with Ollie taking the engines out with arrows, causing the entire thing to crash down in a spectacular explosion. And when they open the cockpit, they find...little grey aliens? Okay then. This makes less and less sense with each passing issue. At least Cliff Chiang is back on art duties, making it look pretty at the very least. Too bad he's almost gone, and Winick is staying on.


Dude - this is 10x stronger than any Supergirl comic put out in the last half year easily. It's kind of scary how confused you're getting with the Titans East Special. You assumed this was the same villain behind it all...but if you look at the whole power level...you'll notice the difference. Me thinks you're reading too many comics. :lol:

[Dark Sasha]

Grass is green, the sky is blue, coatgirl has a boyfriend.

Aaaaand like I said yesterday, there was more than 3 jumping ship from DC.

Dodson is now Marvel exclusive.

DC=Boned.

[UltimateQuintessa]

I just read all the preview solicts that newsarama put up for DC comics in June.

HOLY FUCK!

Lot of good stuff. Manhunter is back! Trinity sounds sweet! WTF is Batman trapped in on the FInal Crisis #2 cover? A apokolips machine?

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

Aaaaand like I said yesterday, there was more than 3 jumping ship from DC.

Dodson is now Marvel exclusive.

DC=Boned.

It's not that bad. Dodson and McKone were big losses, but the other two really hadn't been putting out much for DC.

[Fake Pat]

It's not that bad. Dodson and McKone were big losses, but the other two really hadn't been putting out much for DC.

I know, but it's just a trend that I don't see slowing down.

I'm positive the Dodsons are the first casualty of that horrible new art policy.

[UltimateQuintessa]

Queen Bee is coming back. YES!

[Boris the Blade]

It's not that bad. Dodson and McKone were big losses, but the other two really hadn't been putting out much for DC.
It's certainly not good, they were pretty fuckin' big artists and it hurts their cache to lose them.

[Fake Pat]

It's not that bad. Dodson and McKone were big losses, but the other two really hadn't been putting out much for DC.

Dodson and Tim Sale sell books. It hurts.

[Ray G.]

Aaaaand like I said yesterday, there was more than 3 jumping ship from DC.

Dodson is now Marvel exclusive.

DC=Boned.

None of those four losses hurt DC in any meaningful way.

Dodson wasn't exactly turning WW into a best-seller. We won't see any drop with Lopresti on board.

McKone wasn't doing enough work to really make an impact(although that's DC's fault more than anything).

Sale is a package deal with Loeb, and this is a foregone conclusion.

Kelly wasn't doing much of anything for DC.

Considering the prognostications of utter doom from some people, this is no big deal.

That looks like the best DC month ever. Magnificent.

The fact is, DC can't afford to lose anybody that sells books.

Sale and Dodson absolutely can sell books on their name alone, especially Sale.

It hurts. It's certainly not the end of the world, but it is in no way a good thing.

....But Sale wasn't selling books for DC. He basically only works with Loeb.

That's why I don't consider this a blow. Because they essentially lost him with Loeb, and it was just a matter of time waiting for his contract to run out.

McKone is really the biggest loss here. I have no clue how they didn't give him an ongoing the second he could.

When's the next DC panel?

[UltimateQuintessa]

That looks like the best DC month ever. Magnificent.

Robin/Spoiler Special #1!!!!!

Sounds like we are gonna have to throw a party in honor of Chuck Dixon.
Unless it turns out to be Secret :o

I'm sorry, but if a company has two villains with a description of "cloud that shoots people" in books by the same writer, but they aren't the same villain, something's more than a little off.

I call a secret race of Killer Clouds.

[Ray G.]

Sounds like we are gonna have to throw a party in honor of Chuck Dixon.
Unless it turns out to be Secret :o

:lol:

I think she would have appeared or been mentioned. Dixon's never written her.

I still think the dark horse in all of this is Ariana.

[UltimateQuintessa]

:lol:

I still think the dark horse in all of this is Ariana.

Ariana would be sweet. But wouldn't everyone critize Dixon for using a character that's been out of the "Robin Limelight" for years now?

Plus what the fuck would make Ariana not want to grow up to be a butcher and be a vigilante instead?

[Ray G.]

I think it would be pretty easy to write something in about it turning out that Uncle Vari had some ties to the russian mob(his...disposition wouldn't make it a stretch).

[UltimateQuintessa]

I think it would be pretty easy to write something in about it turning out that Uncle Vari had some ties to the russian mob(his...disposition wouldn't make it a stretch).

I'm sorry, but if a company has two villains with a description of "cloud that shoots people" in books by the same writer, but they aren't the same villain, something's more than a little off.

I call a secret race of Killer Clouds.

WHAT??? When did DC say there are two killer clouds??? Titans East was a mystery blast from the sky...GA/BC had Granny Goodness call in a sniper shot. 2 different results. If they were the same killer, than the whole boat that GA/BC were on with Connor would have exploded.

It's your imagination that there were killer clouds.

[John Drake]

None of those four losses hurt DC in any meaningful way.

Dodson wasn't exactly turning WW into a best-seller. We won't see any drop with Lopresti on board.

McKone wasn't doing enough work to really make an impact(although that's DC's fault more than anything).

Sale is a package deal with Loeb, and this is a foregone conclusion.

Kelly wasn't doing much of anything for DC.

Considering the prognostications of utter doom from some people, this is no big deal.

Yeah didn't he JUST jump to DC a few months ago? When we all said he worked better there?

[Ray G.]

Next panel is at 8 PM EST. This should be the bigger "announcement" panel. I wonder if we'll find out the next Robinson project, or if that's being held for NYCC.

[jason hissong]

The auction I won for the 1984 LoSH came today!

So excited. Now I have 1-36 of that series.

Aaaaand like I said yesterday, there was more than 3 jumping ship from DC.

Dodson is now Marvel exclusive.

DC=Boned.

:rock:

SUCK IT DIDIO

[Hock]

It's not that bad. Dodson and McKone were big losses, but the other two really hadn't been putting out much for DC.

Is McKone actually considered a loss. Was he actually exclusive with DC?

[Ray G.]

when did the company ever attribute the connor shooting to a Killer Cloud. As far as I know that was fan attributed.

Plus the whole "Killer Cloud going after Titans" thing you've been trying to pass doesn't really work in the case of Connor Hawke.

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

Dodson and Tim Sale sell books. It hurts.
They're great artists, but how have Sale books not written by Loeb sold? Dodson will hurt, but Sale hadn't really been doing anything for DC.

Is McKone actually considered a loss. Was he actually exclusive with DC?

I don't know, but when he was doing work for them it was solid.

[Hock]

Wonder if this means Cooke will be doing more DC work. Didn't seem like it when it was announced he was leaving The Spirit.

[Hock]

I don't know, but when he was doing work for them it was solid.

From what I can tell from a quick internet search, McKone did once have an exclusive with DC, but that expired a while ago, and by awhile I mean 5 years.

[Hock]

Connor was a Titan once.

when?

[Ray G.]

James Robinson is writing a new Justice League title!

It's simply called "Justice League", is led by Hal Jordan, and is a more pro-active, high-octane team. GA is one of the members, and the rest are yet to be revealed.

:rock:

[Ray G.]

when?

Grayson run. Same time as Kyle, I think.

[Ray G.]

Robinson revealed some of the lineup.

Hal Jordan, Green Arrow, Ray Palmer, Supergirl, Batwoman, Freddy Freeman, the blue alien Starman, and a 90-year-old man named Bill.:rock:

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

Cooke's drawing an issue of Jonah Hex:

DiDio then asked Cooke what he's working on. Cooke said Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray have been asking him to do a Jonah Hex comic book with them, and at San Diego last year, Cooke said he'd only do it if they came up with a script that took Hex to Canada - and they did, so that'll be coming out at some point.

Was hoping for something bigger.

[Dark Sasha]

Jonah in Canada?

FUCKING SWEET!

[Hock]

Grayson run. Same time as Kyle, I think.

Yeah, you think. I think you're wrong. And instead of some wild imaginings, I at least bring something resembling proof.

Hey,this Justice League would be the perfect title for me to jump on a DC ongoing.

[Ray G.]

I wonder who the artist is.

This sounds almost Morrison-esque in its wierd awesome.

[Ray G.]

Robinson's Superman run sounds incredible.

And very little Chris Kent! :rock:

[Ray G.]

Here's the frustrating thing about DC: for the first time, virtually all their properties are in good hands. They have an incredible amount of writing talent here, and they need to put that to good use. If they screw up the incredible stuff they have on tap...:mad:

Maybe. Personally until I get more info it sounds exactly like Outsiders, which just happens to have Green Arrow too!

I'm kind of hoping for Cully Hammer.

Robinson's Superman run sounds incredible.

I think that's a bit of a hyperbole. Robin, soon Blue Beetle, Supergirl, JLA, and other titles still need some tlc.

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

I wonder who'll be the creative team on the Great Ten ongoing. Could be a fun series.

There is no way Robin needs a new writer.

Dixon isn't off to the strongest start, but no one gets the character like he does, and he seems to have a big plan. I think it's going to get much better - and I already think it's fairly good.
