The Goon and Frankie. For me, nothing comes close.

I have gone back to Xbox One with this. It will have more games at launch and will do more in my living room. My son and I had decided it was PS4 time but this announcement brought us back.

This is a pretty pathetic, desperate move by DC. They take two failing yet iconic characters, give them their own book that resembles a Harlequin Romance, and takes the step where they just give up and start publishing fan fiction. This idea is abject crap.

Memo to DC: While Justice League sells well and they have tried their little Geoff Johns giggly romance there, the two characters are both sliding into mediocrity and insignificance. About every Bat book, Green Lantern and Aquaman outsells the Superman titles and Wonder Woman, while well written, has dropped further down the list of sales. The only saving grace about Wonder Woman is that the character in the title book appears to be a completely different one than in Geoff Johns' JL. I just hope the Wonder Woman in that universe, which is obviously different from the JL one, is not touched by this idiotic move.

I got into comics from reading Vertigo titles. Superheroes came later.

@foxxfireart: Your points about sex and violence are dead on. In the US, we have a populace that sees sex as something to be closely monitored in the media and violence at any level as something that is basic entertainment. It has been this way for quite a few decades. And if we are to look at this from a behavioral and societal level, exposing children to sex is not harmful to the development of a child but exposing the child to violence is very harmful and desensitizes the child to it. The child accepts it more and have a greater propensity to violence. This is not made up. This is not an anecdotal theory of how somebody sees a war on TV. This is a subject that has been extensively studied through testing. I am not saying that the kids who read The Dark Knight will become murderers, although they may give up on comics presenting them with any kind of intelligent and logical story. But it does present a world that is not in tune with what they see and what they are taught is appropriate for working through problem solving and decision making. It can over time make kids think that the world works differently from what they see. And to get back to Hurwitz, the problem with comparing his work with the teen novels that present the tough, hard and sometime violent side of life is that his are gratuitous nonsense and the best teen novels do present a more intelligent and worldly depiction of the fears and problems of young lives. Comics are not aimed at kids anymore, and a lot of them are not aimed at anyone other than those that have bought into the ultra noire esthetic. The Catwoman head shot is not only a graphic gratuitous death scene (and insulting because no one thinks she is gone) but also a lazy plot devise where the desire to make a splash has overtaken the desire to write a good story.

I met Dan Parent at the Denver Comic Con so I picked up the hard cover of the first six issues. It was just great classic Archie inspired gags, scheming, romance and school days life. Great stuff.

Is this even a question?

1. Penguin

2. Joker

3. Catwoman

4. Riddler

5. Louie the Lilac.

(I will always first and foremost remember watching the show as a kid)

I am going to go ahead and assume this is not correct. I looked around on the website posted and didn't see this. I then found articles that refute a lot of this stuff. So I am not going to panic until the final specs come out.

I couldn't care less about the "feats" of Wonder Woman in JL. If I wanted JL Wonder Woman, I would read it. I don't think anyone can really argue Azzarello and Johns are writing about the same character. They kind of look the same and have the same name, after that, any likeness is purely coincidental. John's character is one whose action and fighting always serve a purpose that is specific to Wonder Woman and her character. She only fights to protect and save the ones she loves. And Wonder Woman loves everyone. The dark hard chick in JL is a refuge from an MTV reality show. At some point, there should be a short hand way to differentiate which one you are talking about.

Batgirl, Batwoman, Birds of Prey, Detective Comics, Talon, Nightwing, Justice League of America, Katana, Vibe, Earth 2, The Movement, Storm Watch, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman. I have certain books I won't miss, like Batgirl, Batwoman, Nightwing and Wonder Woman are the only books I have stuck with since the beginning, but I am pretty flexible on my reading list after that. If a book goes bad, I will drop it right away. If I hear about a new writer that could turn a book around, I will pick it up. I have books I tried, dumped, and later picked up again. It is pretty easy to do on digital.
