@The Kid Lantern

You can do it!

[Omega Man]

Got a little off track yesterday, but I'm working on getting something up along with @Aro soon. I have tomorrow off but I work a little longer on Wednesdays and Fridays. So far all the posts look great and I've really taken a liking to a lot of characters.

Paul Bunyan and Yellow Jacket are kicking ass!

[rocketrobie2]

Sorry it took me so long to get a post up, things have been kinda strenuous for the past month but hopefully thing'll be smoothing out a little soon.

[Omega Man]

You guys are killing it with these characters. Really nice work, a lot of you have really stepped up with your writing! I'm gonna get another post in the can today while I'm off work, still figuring out what's going to happen between Sea Snake and the Reaper....

~KL~

[Omega Man]

Posted. Set up something for @Aro's Reaper, and I also used @Holy Soldier's Silver Dollar Coffee in the post as well as introducing the Director of STRIKE whom I decided should look like Gary Busey LOL

[Weird Tales]

@The Kid Lantern hay KL, are you super excited for DC Rebirth? I'm f*cking stoked about it and have ordered the series I'm super pumped for.

[Omega Man]

I'm not as impressed with their line-up of books and talent as I should be, but everything depends on how the Rebirth Special pans out. I was looking forward to the return of the Justice Society and the Legion of Superheroes but that's not even in the plans unless it's something they're waiting to announce. Replacing New52 Superman with the pre New52 Superman who appeared in the Lois and Clark series is also an iffy move for me, since we'll essentially have two Lois Lanes and two Clark Kents, even if it's just the beginning of the relaunch. I don't care for Superdad's son being the new Superboy, or the fact the two newest Green Lanterns are the stars of the Green Lanterns title that looks to be nothing more than volume 4 of GL rehashed with two new Lanterns. Shipping titles twice monthly is also something I'm skeptical about, as it could really help DC or hurt them. Ted Kord finally returning was a good idea, but he's playing second fiddle and mentor to a Blue Beetle who's already failed twice with monthly titles [Jaime Reyes]. And Red Hood's new team of Outlaws is 'a half baked Bizarro clone' and the Amazonian archer Artemis... really?

The only books that look promising to me are the adult Titans, Aquaman, and Deathstroke. And to be honest, the way the new artist on Aquaman draws the scales on his shirt look horrible as well as his general figure composition. A lot of his images have Aquaman looking a bit too barrel chested with super skinny arms and legs.

When the New52 came around the universe lost a lot of it's legacy heroes and history. With the Justice Society and the Legion nowhere to be seen the past and future of this DCU are severely handicapped. Batman Beyond is taking a step back in the right direction with the return of Terry, but rather than get a new #1 they're continuing with the numbering [and doing this with at least a few more series...] which will further confuse any new readers wondering what in the hell DC's Futures End was and what it did to the Beyond-ish Future.

Sorry for not having anything up recently, I'll try and post something tonight.

@Carlsberg

I specifically made this a sandbox game because of these types of situations. No pressure. The problem with having a team based superhero RP is when people have to take a few days off or disappear for a week or so and then the rest of the group is left picking up pieces and writing around incomplete character interactions and whatnot.

@The Kid Lantern

I'm super excited, I'm glad they're taking chances and Redhood and The Outlaws looks like an anti trinity to me, which is super fascinating. I also really love the idea of Superman's son teaming up with Damian in a kid version of World's Finest and is refreshing. Also Suicide Squad should be good since they are using the line up from the movie and I'm pumped for Teen Titans since it has my favorite Robin leading them.

[Omega Man]

@Weird Tales Yeah fans of Damian have it good this relaunch, probably why I'm not as impressed LOL

I expect more from a Teen Titans title I suppose, being led by a 12 year old former League of Assassins member and using the new black Kid Flash in the old one's suit just isn't doing it for me. And they're introducing multiple characters with superspeed in the Flash monthly and talking up some kid named August... and NOT this new take on Wally?

New and fresh isn't always a positive thing. I'd have rather read a title about the clone Superboy and Red Robin than these two tweens. With Red Hood... I'd just rather have a solo Red Hood title. He doesn't NEED supporting characters with powers to make him more interesting. And upping the profiles of two characters with stronger ties to premiere superheroes [Superman and Wonder Woman] just makes it all the more obvious DC isn't willing to take chances with 2nd and 3rd string characters anymore.

Give me a decent Outsiders title instead of more Trinity-related books and spin-offs.
