I'm really glad they're continuing this series. It's been a big hit with the little girls around here. One of them told me the other day that she "really likes [my] hair because it's orange like Batgirl's!"
I'm hoping this veers closer to Super Best Friends Forever, content wise, than the direct to video DC Super Hero Girls videos they've already done. Those were at least bearable to watch.
Never believe anything that comes out of Axel Alonso mouth. At least if the solicits are inaccurate the books retailers can get the books returned.
No kidding. The Jean Gray one flat-out says she goes back in time. Not sure how that makes sense post-Secret Wars; that was Marvel's equivalent of a DC Crisis.
Uh-huh.
I won't be buying them all, but I think this is pretty funny.Something something they're copying the Rikti invasion from City of Heroes.DC September solicits ring in the Dark Days/Nights event.
At this point DC is almost making fun of the New 52. You know how they tried to make everything dark and gritty and "more like Batman because Batman sells"?
Well the evil invading universe has superhumans, each getting a one-shot, and essentially it's Batmanized Wonder Woman, Batmanized Aquaman, etc.
Pretty sure I used that for more hours than I actually played the game.
I was CoV
My highest level was a fire/fire brute named Materio Caliente!
There were way too many hordes of would-be-wolverines to swat down to be worried about 3rd stringers
I loved my claws stalker. With stealth and super speed, any mission that wasn't a kill 'em all or escort was a one-shot.
Marvel Comics is trying to get the DC movie fans? They're going to need more brown and gray ink.
There's something about this event that feels like it should have been released in the late 80's or early 90's. It's hard to think about "Metal" anymore without picturing Ozzy sadly shuffling his way across a stage.DC put out the list of main event issues, one-shots, and tie-ins for Dark Nights: Metal.
.
Someone at DC is definitely a fan of recent retro movements. It does feel like a 90s branding event, though the meta of it couldn't exist without DC today being like "hey, we ALSO hated the New 52, and to prove it we're making a universe of that kind of character the antagonists for a Rebirth event!"
.Slightly off-topic, but I got the TPBs of the beginning of Rucka's run on Wonder Woman, and it feels like this was the first message he wrote.
(Refering to her splintered "memories" and how some of them maybe aren't true, hint hint, Nu52 crap origin). I need to catch up on the rest to see if he rectified it.That's the conundrum. Now that they've taken her out of the chair, it'd be even worse putting her back now than it was before because we know better these days. There's a new Oracle in the Birds of Prey title, no idea who it is though.
It's ok, they're just comic book characters, none of them will actually care.
Grant Morrison told us that comic books are protrusions of other universes into our own.
YEAH,he is one CRAZY wizard.
