>DC Comics is to publish a new series starting in Setember and spinning out of Event Leviathan comes Gotham City Monsters #1 by Steve Orlando and Amancay Nahuelpan. As Leviathan has destroyed S.H.A.D.E. alongside ARGUS, the DEO and the rest, Frankenstein is now free to target his mentor Melmoth, and puts together a team to aid him in that quest, going to Gotham to recruit Killer Croc, Lady Clayface, Orca and I, Vampire, Andrew Bennett.
>Gotham City Monsters #1 is published September 11th, with covers by Philip Tan and Frank Cho.
Because Hulk smashed Batman in sales TWO months in a row and they think just copying Marvel and then making it Batman related will make it sell by the truck load.
I'll now remind you of the last time DC tried to copy Hulk and how much that sucked.
lol just the other time one user was saying how much it would take for DC to jump on the horror wagon of the Hulk, it really didn't take much, didn't it? The guy even predicted them being retarded enough to use Croc. This is fucking unreal.
Juan Evans
Fuck off with your terrible ideas
Henry Kelly
Is Lady Clayface new?
Chase Lewis
DC has always been on the horror train buddy, if anything Hulk is playing catch up to DC.
Michael Robinson
Damage was before Immortal Hulk though IIRC. His creation was coincidental, and just part of their new line. If anything though, Damage's shit book was stomped by Weapon H
Zachary Young
Yeah, catching up to all those horror books that sell like Ewing Hulk has....
Jason Carter
Not really, no. She from the Mud Pack days and currently reintroduced as Basil's ex-girlfriend that got the same treatment. Basil is still MIA I believe
Adrian Lopez
Just give Tomasi a new Frankenstein book, DC. It is obvious he has been crazing one for a long time.
Christopher Bell
>horror wagon of Hulk Excuse me, retard? Immortal Hulk is an homage to Saga of the Swamp Thing and you'd know that if you weren't nine years old and new to comics. DC revolutionized horror comics with Vertigo and even before that with House of Mystery, not to say that other horror comics didn't exist alongside it and before that. And that's once again not to say that Marvel doesn't have its own horror pedigree with Tomb of Dracula, Man Thing and Marvel Zombies and other titles. But damn are you uneducated if you think Immortal Hulk doesn't take inspiration from a larger history of horror comics.
Eli Reyes
Yeah back when IH was introduced they were publishing iconic horror books such as > And ofc > Not to mention: >
The denial is real. Dealing with you DC pigs is getting sadder and sadder every day.
Carter Nguyen
How about you actually fucking explain why it's bad?
Daniel Anderson
>it is actually all DC's merit REEEEEEEE
Classic pig response. Acting like this isn't them copying marvel, what a sad dipshit you are. You should be ashamed of yourself and the brand you are so eager to defend.
Blake Miller
What a bunch of bullshit, marvel literally started with horror comics you dumb fuck.
Juan Torres
>implying Immortal Hulk isn't just trying to play catch-up to Swamp Thing
Motherfucker, I read Marvel too, and I enjoy it. It's idiots like you that can't get enough companywars to feed your fragile egos that are the problem. So see you later Tommy, I'm gonna go catch up on IH and then read whatever the fuck I want afterwards.
>As Leviathan has destroyed S.H.A.D.E. alongside ARGUS Why is DC destroying all their organizations?
William Johnson
Hulk obviously does take inspiration from horror comics throughout history, but it also buttfucked Batman in sales recently and WB execs have been shown to be a superstitious and cowardly lot. Both can be right. It can be DC publishing a horror book like they've done repeatedly throughout history AND a panicky response to Batman getting buttfucked.
Jordan Myers
>>retard user that's you though
Xavier White
>acting like he has actually read ST and the two things are the same
As to be expected by a pig such as yourself, once again proving that talking to animals is totally useless. Keep blowing those two letter forever tard, there is a reason why they stand for Damage Control.
John Brooks
>no u
lol you really are mentally incapacitated, sorry i won't indulge further.
Jayden Brown
>pig >pig >pig Did you get banned for using another word?
Aiden Kelly
nice cope out son of a whore
Colton Howard
What's your deal with the word pig, fattie? It's blatantly obvious you're spamming the thread and preventing non-homosexual anons from engaging in discussion about the comic itself. Any comics, for that matter.
Fuck this shit, can't we all just get along? Why niggas gotta be picking fights over comic books all the time? I and alot of other anons in this thread like comics because they're neat and they inject a little color into our lives and inspire us to create and maybe even strive for better ideals, better worlds. Let's just fucking discuss for once. The hog beast has been slain.
Not him, but I think they just accidentally proved that DC does keep putting out horror books, but they always flop. There was also a terrible Etrigan miniseries last year too
Isaac Anderson
Damn DC, have some self-respect for once. You still haven't finished ripping off Marvel Zombies!
Gabriel Taylor
DC has published JLD, Deadman, Ragman, Hellblazer, Swamp Thing, the Demon, Damage, Brimstone, Halloween specials and Young Monsters in Love all in the last 2 years so yeah they've been publishing monster and horror comics before and during IH.
Kevin Kelly
They flop because they're lesser known names.
Jack Jenkins
>”Hulk is raping Batman to death. What can we do to ride off his success? Do we have a big green monster that we can make into a horror comic?!” >”Swamp-Thing would be prefect for that sure.” >”Swamp-Thing is already on a team. We need someone else.” >”We have a Frankenstein Monster, sir.” >”Not bad but not enough green. Add that Killer Croc guy. He was in a movie once.” >”Ok...” >”And add some other monster characters. I don’t care which just do it as soon as possible.”
Caleb Taylor
I don't know mang. I just wanted a comfy thread about Frankenstein getting ORCA'D.
Kevin Ortiz

Luke Murphy
>Cool a monster book from DC! NICE! >GOTHAM CITY
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FUCKING STOP PLS ENOUGH. STOP WITH THE BATWANK STOP STOP STOP
Isaac Stewart
Theyre going to fuck up her looks and give her a double-chin like in the recent comics
Connor Hughes
Oh nice they are using Lady Clayface >realizing it is clearly a stand in for the Red Harpy wew lads
But really, this book is getting written by fucking Orlando, it being a copy will only take the attention away from his bad writing.
Austin Bennett
>>realizing it is clearly a stand in for the Red Harpy when was Red Harpy revealed?
Justin Foster
8 people have been called clayface >Basil Karlo, the original actor turned killer and later turned into a clay monster during the mud pack storyline >Matt Hagen, petty crook that became a clay monster while scuba diving, died during crisis on infinite earths. >Preston Payne, the best clay face, born with a deformity that made him be mocked by all his peers, got Matt to give him a sample of his clay and tried using it to fix himself, it didn't work, he has to use a suit and transfer the effects of his melty aids onto others or else he'll die, became so lonely and sad that at one point he started living in a shopping mall and dating a manequin. >Sondra Fuller: Genetically altered Kobra soldier, eventually abandoned them and became a part of the mud pack where she would meet Preston, who she later had a child with >Cassius Payne: Son of Sondra and Preston, they barely did anything with him despite being a pretty interesting concept for a character. >Dr. Peter Malley: Doctor who was studying a sample from Cassius, it bonded with him, turning him into a savage version of payne >Todd Russell and Johnny Williams: Todd was a minor Catwoman villain that got killed by angle man, Johnny was the guy that pretended to be jason during hush. Clayface has a weird history
Owen Perez
Remember when their was other locations besides Gotham?
Noah Lewis
either two or three months ago enough to settle for someone to be her placeholder
Jack White
>Look at OP >wow this is just creature commandos in gotham >look at the thread >THIS IS OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO CASH IN ON IMMORTAL HULK SINCE BOTH ARE COMIC BOOKS WITH HORROR ELEMENTS Can't we just stop with the company wars for 2 fucking seconds? Immortal hulk is great and this is clearly something different, though it's probably going to suck since orlando is writting it.
Xavier Peterson
and who the main one? (the one working with batman?)
Alexander Butler
>Steve Orlando Ugh
>Lady Clayface Neat and deep cut. This book will still suck because Orlando's a bad writer but glad to see her.
David Sanchez
That'd be Basil, he's MIA at the moment.
Benjamin Perez
Orcafags are about to be either ecstatic or absolutely fucking livid depending on how this goes.
God help us if they have her fuck croc like in Injustice.
Ryder Allen
If it's still Soondra Fuller then no. She was an Outsiders villain who showed up during the Mud Pack story in the late '80s, fell in love with Preston Payne and the two basically retired to just live together in peace and raise their kid.
Nathan Long
Because Killer Moth is the original anti-batman, and that's what writers should focus on rather than poking fun at his costume. Dime a dozen monster is stupid
Adam Green
Well, she is a shapeshifter.
Wyatt Powell
At least she has big boobs so that’s a plus.
Jaxon Baker
Well, theyll never give her the proportions we would like but hopefully she will be more than a King Shark repaint.
I too feel that. Anything with DC's frankenstain is going to be horrorific. Although, I suppose Immoral Hulk was ripping off Agents of SHADE first.
The idea of a DC Hulk isn't bad, but there was no pathos for the character at all. He'd just shout Damage all the time. A military owned DC Hulk with a strong supporting cast could have been Ostrander Suicide Squad tier gold (especially if the man was a follow orders regardless of morality guy, and the monster had a conscience). It was a missed opportunity.
Ethan Ramirez
i actually like rebirth orca
buff sleek and monstrous while still having a vaguely feminine shape
Adrian Bell
Col.Jonas was legitimately more interesting of a character than Damage.
Cameron Barnes
>All these anons being super argumentative >barely anybody talking about Croc at all
He's my favorite DC character and I'm really happy to see him be in a team book that isn't the awful suicide squad book.
Hope Orlando does him justice. Has he written him before?
Julian Lee
>this could be cool...i like these monster characters >IMMORTAL HULK!!! BATMAN!!!! REEEEEE yeesh guys.
Isaac Rivera
yeah I hope its THICC orca sometimes shes drawn to look like a male.
Colton Barnes
injustice was thicc orca tho and she looked really really really bad there
Jeremiah Murphy
Lady Clayface got some tig ol bitties! Then again she can make them as big as she wants.
Ryan Ross
fucking based
Joshua Butler
Are you fucking retarded? It looks like Justice League Dark mixed with Frankenstein: Agent of Shade with a title that’s a nod to Gotham City Sirens. Gas yourself, mongoloid.
Isaiah Stewart
didn't read the comic so i had to look this up. She just looks fat with an awful face. jeez can't they just give us a Sexy THICC Killer whale???? is that too much to ask
No one cares you fucking retard, stick to your other thread
Ryder Garcia
>Oh hey I wonder what Yea Forums thinks of thi- >HUURRRRR THEY’RE RIPPING OFF IMMORTAL HULK Did this place suddenly go full retard when I wasn’t looking? What’s with the absolute dumpster fire quality of posts and why is it everywhere now? I remember when Yea Forums made fun of companywars.
Brayden Sanders
Ouch, struck a nerve did I? This wouldn't have anything to do with Immortal Hulk outselling Batman would it?
Charles Sullivan
>first they rip-off Marble Zombies >now this Didio was a mistake.
>all the company war posts up thread Man, you niggers suck
Jayden Sullivan
One guy makes a simple and understandable comparison and suddenly DCfaggots lose their shit over it
Cooper Stewart
Yup, came out of the left field, didn't it?
Robert Robinson
What the fuck is this? Nobody asked for this, people have been asking more for a new Gotham City Sirens book than this. Fucking shit.
Gabriel Morris
there was that fucking trash nocenti book right?? 6 issues?
Dylan Davis
what, knowing Frankenstein this will ape Hellboy more than Hulk. What's with the idiots in the thread? Like the last time Frankenstein was even a bit horror was for the MiniSeries he got during Seven Soldiers and he wasn't the scary part in it.
Chase Wood
I thought people forgot about this. I wish they had.
Thomas Sanders
Cho Orca cover? Sold
Parker Mitchell
>One guy makes a simple and understandable comparison It's one made of blind willful ignorance. There's nothing about the premise itself to actually draw a comparison to Immortal hulk.
Lincoln Morris
>As Leviathan has destroyed S.H.A.D.E. alongside ARGUS, the DEO and the rest Bendis only know destruction, doesn't he?
Bentley Sanders
Nobody wants to copy that garbage
John Myers
And yet here we are.
Parker Thompson
I mean, if you're not above copying Marvel Zombies and Dark Reign...
Brody Sanchez
Y'all worried that this will be an IH copy while missing the most important piece of the puzzle:
This is a comic written by Orlando, it is going to be fucking shit from start to finish.
Cooper Nguyen
Oh yeah, anything with monsters is a copy of Hulk. >Creature Commandos >Demon Knights >Agents of S.H.A.D.E.
Eli King
i completely forgot that bug thing existed
Joshua Jones
>hurr durr they have done this things in the past but they were shit and failed so it is OK if they do it now!
That's not why people are saying they are jumping on the Hulk wagon, retard. But that was to be expected, pigs aren't so smart after all. They wouldn't eat other people's vomit like they are doing with the cheap copies of Dark Reign, Marvel Zombies and such otherwise.
Matthew Brown
Just put a trip on already so we can all filter you.
Luis Richardson
Cancelled in 6-12 issues.
Jacob Evans
They copied that from Ewing too!
To be fair, I don't expect anyone to eat up the cheap copy of Dark Reign.
Anthony Gonzalez
Justice League Dark. Shadowpact. Sentinels of Magic. What else?
>Killer Croc, Lady Clayface, Orca and I, Vampire, Andrew Bennett.
What a shit team.
Zachary Young
>but it also buttfucked Batman in sales recently
It's sold better on issue, which was due to a variant cover, iirc. I.e. it sold better due to a sales gimmick.
Michael Kelly
it also did the following month
honestly I expected it to be a Solomon Grundy book
Ryder Brooks
Wait how the fuck we supposed to resolve Shilo Norman with Scott Free? Different avatars of the true Mr. Miracle since all New Gods is megaideas now?
James Roberts
Why does the Didiot need to make everything about Gotham?
Thomas Lopez
>A book focused on monster protagonist(s)/outcasts I mean it’s not big a leap. No one said a completely ripoff
Noah Hall
Shilo is Scott's protege.
Oliver Gonzalez
You would THINK Solomon fucking Grundy would be in this book. Pretty weird he isn't, unless he's the bad guy.
Brandon Kelly
your face is trash
Angel Fisher
The entirety of Vertigo?
Andrew Butler
what?
Nicholas Ortiz
The guy who made the comparison did.
Jeremiah Allen
Mimic =/= Complete rip-off, you tard
Jackson Watson
That's kinda pedantic, multiple post are implying they're trying to rip off immortal hulk. >DC doesn't have any original ideas >copying marvel >trying to cash in on the immortal hulk >we want the hulk audience >catching up to all those horror books that sell like Ewing Hulk has.... >please share the hulk audience with us!! >they aren't even hiding the fact they are doing it as a follow-up to Hulk. >Damn DC, have some self-respect for once. You still haven't finished ripping off Marvel Zombies!
>f you're not above copying Marvel Zombies and Dark Reign... >they are jumping on the Hulk wagon
Leo Campbell
That's just Injustice, which is over anyway.
Chase Long
>people are disagree with me better call them out one by one!
This is so fucking dumb, you are dumb. Imagine if someone did that in reverse. Also start to wonder why so many people are seeing it as a catch up to Marvel.
Dominic Gutierrez
Thank you for remembering this, because you're dead on.
Are you worried they're gonna nonsensically pair her up with Killer Croc again?
Lucas Ortiz
Not him, and I don’t deny that autism is in this thread, but don’t write off everyone who sees a minor parallel here. If something outsells Batman, even briefly, it tends to raise an eyebrow
Jaxon Robinson
> If something outsells Batman, even briefly, it tends to raise an eyebrow C'mon buddy, you have to know by now that Batman wasn't always a top 10 seller. Take the early 2000s, Batman was sloughing. DC has always like to push horror titles, especially since the 2011 reboot.
Nathan Rodriguez
>Early 2000s That was nearly 20 years ago and not really the publisher standard now. Didio wants Batman and Superman in the top 10, especially since capeshit is Big now. I’m not denying DC loves weird I’m merely making an observation about this rather unexpected team book.
Christian Campbell
>I’m merely making an observation about this rather unexpected team book. You're ignoring how DC has been pushing horror heavy ever since the 2011 reboot, which is just my observation.
Sometimes, most times I really fucking despise Bat-wank.
Christian James
Okay that’s fair. Batman Who Laughs is in that vein.
Easton Foster
Barbara finally gets her wish
Jose Sullivan
Not just that but JLD and Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E. and Andreyko's Batwoman had her team up with Jason blood and Ragman. DC has been trying to get this horror based team for a while and this is just the current iteration.
>Batman Who Laughs Batman who LMAOs is just the logically outcome of trying to maximize Batman and the Joker beyond the point you should stop. Technically we should have seen him coming.
I think DC should just cut down on team books altogether. I like character driven stories, and if they really wanted a horror showstopper they should have focused more on Swamp Thing, who hasn’t been of note since Snyder
Brayden Sullivan
Well that's just the market, team books sell better because lesser known characters cannot sustain titles anymore. You want character driven stories? Pick up the one shot holiday specials.
James Stewart
What's Batwank? This isn't about how Batman is the most important character ever and he can one-punch anyone. Something that always happens with Superman but you faggots eat it up. This is DC using Batman and Gotham city as a veicle so the book has more of a chance of being a success with the casual audience.
I'm fucking tired of people crying about Batwank whenever Gotham or Batman is used in anything, even when Batman is just there to be shat on. Goddamn, you guys are fucking children. But then Superman goes, bitch-slap the Anti-Monitor, buttfuck Wonder Woman in her pussy, and tells everyone he's the king of the planet and you niggas cheer that as brilliant writing. Yeah, i'm fucking mad.
Grayson Sullivan
I fucking hate that DC thought it was a good idea to have Batwoman steal all of Batman occult friends and stories. She even stole his past love interest.
Samuel Richardson
>She even stole his past love interest. I wouldn't really call what Nocturna did the actions of a "love interest."
Jonathan Jackson
It's still proves that Batwoman was stealing everything from Batman. They wanted to make her the occult "Batman". Something that was entirely Batman.
Stop posting this terrible design in every Orca related thread
Ian Ramirez
This reminds me that there are a bunch of people already prehevently crying about Batwank because they fear Batman might do something useful in Doomsday Clock like helping Lois and Superman.
Jacob Price
>Something that was entirely Batman. The problem is Batman is a lot of things, Batman is a hoarder. Take Lady Shiva for example, She's not supposed to be Batman villain but somehow she became one. The truth is that Batman doesn't deserve exclusive rights to the occult stuff in Gotham, he's part of a shared universe. >emphasis on share.
Aaron Adams
No, they're Batman's friends. Kate is acting like the cool slutty cousin who's making all of Batman's friends ignore him because she's oh so awesome.
Christian Reed
Trying to make Kate “Supernatural Batman” was a dumb idea to begin with. In fact Kate was just a bad idea
Henry Allen
Charaxes was dumb, just like Scare-beast was dumb - but I like the idea that when some people are exposed to fear-gas, they sorta "see" them again
Daniel Mitchell
Ragman and Jason Blood isn't Batman's friends, they're characters that exist in Gotham.
Ayden Butler
>if DC does anything dark, it's a ripoff of Hulk
Why do Yea Forumsirgins still pretend to read comics?
Ethan Allen
>better blame it on Yea Forums now
Why DCfags always need a scapegoat?
Josiah Scott
huh? are you a.... nocenti fan? bruh i'm sorry. trevor mccarthy was the redeeming feature of a book that otherwise absolutely sucked
Mason Cox
Oh boy, another Batman-adjacent title, thanks DC for thinking outside the box....
