DC Comics General

Doomaday clock only came to johns luke a year into rebirth he said he wasn't gonna actually do a crossover till later. The problem was at the start of rebirth which most people agree was good johns would oversee the directions of the comics. They he got busy with titans and shazam and stargirl so Scott snyder started overseeing the direction of the science while johns was doing doomsday clock but it was slow because Gary frank is slow.

But hey at least williamson got to make wally the main flash again like he wanted the whole time even if it was after he was off the flash book

...I'd never thought I'd see the day: Babs is back as Oracle, with Steph as Spoiler and Cass as Batgirl. It really is like the New 52 never happened. What a long, strange trip.

Now if only the 2 can stand on their own because being the Batgirls with Babs as Batgirl Prime is kinda odd.

I mean you don't see Damian and Tim calling themselves the Robins and referring to Dick as Robin Prime.

Hey, it's not like Babs can upgrade herself to Batwoman. That name's still taken.

EDIT: Rorschach #6 preview is up online.

Say, now that Roy’s back (and ditched the creepy redneck hat), is it known if there are any plans to reintroduce Lian? Her pre-Flashpoint self was rescued in Convergence, which was awesome, but it occurred to me yesterday that she’s about the only notable character screwed over by the Didio/Berganza Edgelord Era who hasn’t been seen post-Rebirth yet.

Not from what I've heard.

DC Proudly Announces 'DC Pride' Anthology Comic

Heads up, DC Black Label, Milestone, and The Sandman Universe is being managed by one Chris Conroy.

Hope you all love creator-owned, non-DC related comics, because it looks like we're gonna get a lot of those in the near future.

Case in point: The Nice House on the Lake, a 12-issue limited series with art by Álvaro Martínez Bueno and words by Batman's own James Tynion IV in which he tackles his biggest fear: friends, both making them and losing them.

So pre-reboot Vertigo essentially. Cool.

Now all we need is for them to go back to using the "Vertigo" name. Or at least "DC Vertigo".

DC Comics Tells Artists to Stay Out of NFT Business or Else

I mean, what even are non-fungible tokens? They sound kinda illegal or at least super-dodgy...

I imagine artists will not be happy, as this encroaches on if they own the original art of the characters etc etc...

Its also been a supplementary income of artists for literal decades.

Basically, it's the "Tipping" of artists.

Seriously, this is just going after pennies on the dollar.

Edited by CharlesPhipps on Mar 13th 2021 at 8:12:56 AM

Well, they guy made nearly two MILLION. That's not pennies.

Depends on how you measure it to the money made from art.

NFTs have been controversial for two reasons:

• artists, big or small, getting their artwork stolen by bots and used for someone else's profit
• the negative environmental impact of its cryptocurrency nature, generating around 37 million tonnes of CO₂ every year.

DC are no doubt doing this out of pure self-interest but NFTs are actually garbage.

What is an NFT exactly?

They make it sound like they are talking of cryptocurrency, but no idea.

What is cryptocurrency exactly?

As far as I can gather, NFT means non-fungible token. It's basically a digital contract guaranteeing the authenticity of the thing being sold and the transfer of ownership to whoever bought the thing. So you can own a cat picture if you buy an NFT with cryptocurrency because you're the official owner of a unique token that can't be duplicated, and the token says that you are the sole legal owner of that cat picture. Legally, a transaction has taken place between a buyer and a seller, and the seller now officially owns the thing. Doesn't stop someone from screenshotting and downloading it, though.

The preview for Justice League #59 has dropped.

The kid asking Black Adam how he manifested Giant Demon Guy kinda sounds nonsensical. Should've said something like, "Sir! Behind you!"

And does anyone think the demon guy reads too generically? I would imagine a big hulking brute like that would speak more like Kratos or something.

That aside, I suspect this is set shortly before Superman appears and finds people praising Black Adam in Infinite Frontier #0.

We also get a few pages for the Justice League Dark backup. O hai Merlin.

Okay so in Justice League, this is actual dialogue for our new antagonist, the appropriately named Brutus.

"That's some power level your flexing."

Power level, power level....... Huh I think this might be Bendis actually doubling down on all the critiques Rogol Zar got. Like Rogol is hated because he's just a big dumb grey brute with an unmemorable name so Bendis responded by creating an even dumber big dumb grey with an even more generic name.

I mean seriously who would use Brutus, thats such a basic-ass name especially since Brutus is just your everyday big dumb grey ugly motherfucker with horns.
