Very cool. The one that most intrigues me is the Challengers series. Absolutely love Kubert's art and very interested to see what Snyder can do outside of the Bat-verse for DC.
I'm loving DC's attempt to diverse away from the standard superhero line with Hanna-Barbera, Young Animal, and Wild Storm. Now if we could just get more Earth One books like Francis Manapul's Aquaman (this is still happening right?) and more Johns/Frank Batman as well as Milestone 2.0
@captainmarvel4ever: I could not agree with you more about everything you said
Great preview and Fabok's art is as awesome as ever... really wish he was illustrating the whole crossover like I wish he could have done all six issues of JL vs. SS
@justiceteen: I respect your opinion on why you feel that "Rebirth" has felt forced as I've seen many others claim the same thing but to me this whole story and DC's line in general has felt like the most organic thing they've done in years. I commend DC on taking their time to tell this story over two years and establishing the hints and characters so that the payoff will be big.
As for the others who claim that Batman and the Flash teaming up to work on this mystery have no reason to, my question is why not? Yes the Titans are dealing with the same mystery too, but Barry was just as central to the mystery surrounding DC Universe: Rebirth than Wally was and he then went to Batman in the Flash: Rebirth #1 to investigate the button so this seems like a very natural progression to that plot-point.
Actually really looking forward to reading this. It's nice to know that the story will move forward with the Watchmen-plot which I think everyone wants to read about whether or not you love or hate the idea. Batman and the Flash holding that button still feels so impossible yet it's actually a reality and I for one couldn't be more excited to read about it!
I appreciated what Snyder was doing with this arc and can clearly see he had a fun time writing this story, but I personally just couldn't get behind it. Some of the characterization felt off and some of Romita Jr's panels were wonky to say the least. I was just disappointed with this arc in general and hope that a change of artists and scenery can give this series a good boost.
I agree that the problem with this title now is that it is too mainstream and as such there are no real surprises or lasting deaths (*ahem* Captain Boomerang *ahem*). Putting Jim Lee on this book is obviously a big draw but I can't help but feel it's just going to spin the same wheels over the next few months. I think after the JL vs. SS crossover I will drop the title unfortunately but there are just too many good books that I'd rather get instead.
