Bendis joins DC

Can someone tell me if there is more hal jordan and the glc after the darkstars arc? Or was it cancelled?
I live in a country with poor comics infrastructure.

RIP Sideways, gone too soon.

It is supposed to end at some point and then there is going to be the one-shot (?) "what if" of Hal as a Darkstar.
We already know for sure that Grant will be leaving capeshit this year though, so if it'll continue it will be under another team.

The Darkstar stuff is a filler miniseries to give Sharp time to draw "Season Two" of Green Lantern. It's coming back, don't worry.

Dark Multiverse existed before Bendis came and gave us Sideways which was based.

In the latest issue of Batman, Bane snaps his neck. But it's possible that we're all being bamboozled.

ah shit i was afraid of something like this
thanks

Dark Multiverse is a good concept it's just been utilized poorly.

>if it'll continue it will be under another team.
As long as it keep the focus on the corps.
Simon and jessica (rip) are just so boring

>We already know for sure that Grant will be leaving capeshit this year though, so if it'll continue it will be under another team.
Not true, Morrison will be back to write Green Lantern next year.

I haven't kept up, but source? That seems like it'd be a pretty big deal. Wasn't it being canon one of the big initial selling points?

I hope so, his GL run is possibly the best big 2 comic right now.

It CAN'T be canon now. It completely contradicts everything that's been done on Superman since Bendis started.

>batman still in the top 10 while immortal hulk barely breaks the top 10 these days
Wait until the August report before saying shit like this, Batfag.

>>justice league getting better by the month

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaahahaha

i have never seen a shill more retarded than you.

The only ones who need to slow their roll are hulkfags. Just a few months of success out of decades of being in the bottom of the barrel of sales and suddenly they're top shit.

Batman is still shit.

Oh look, people who have no clue what they're talking about and can only meme and say absolutely nothing in their posts! Keep screeching like monkeys, maybe you'll get more (you)'s. Definitely not proving anything this way.

Well I mean, let's be honest: even if Immortal Hulk gets outsold by Batman again (due to their new card gimmick, let's be frank), IH remains the better out of the two. And both would be outsold by HoXPoX and Absolute Garbage anyway.

Bat cat?

Oh well if you want to talk about quality Immortal Hulk is the better comic. Then again good comics tend to sell like shit so Hulk doing well is a pleasant anomaly. Just a reminder though:

I wish DC and Marvel Comics just got down shut for good to avoid sjws ruining their legacy anymore.

Honest question from a cartoon-Yea Forums guy and not a comics-Yea Forums guy, who are the "good" people in the industry today? It seems all I hear about are hacks like Bendis or Land.

Morrison
Ewing
Zdarsky
Duggan
Abnett

fuuuuuuck

>mfw zdarsky just a few was the funny meme man

Get new material

Let me give you some controversial picks
Lobdell
Humphries
Waid (not counting his ANAD Avengers and Champions runs)
Johns (when he has something coming out)
King outside of his Batman run although his annual with Alfred was great

Thirding Zdarsky. If I were you, I'd consider reading Spider-Man Life Story. It's a short 6 issue mini, very accessible but very good.

>Which boy?
>This boy?
>Me boy?
>Boy, as in a male child? That boy?

Okay, let me get my Teen Lantern cropped panel....
>Waid
Yeah, I agree with this, his Doctor Strange blows every modern iteration of the character out of the water.

>his Doctor Strange blows every modern iteration of the character out of the water.

i remember his YEARS ago mini, that was pretty interesting, i gotta check what he has been doing.

>i remember his YEARS ago mini, that was pretty interesting
I don't want to spoil anything, but it's a good thing you remember that mini.

Yeah, like I said, I'm not a huge comics guy, but I've always read Spider-Man comics here and there. I really liked Life Story, especially the ending.

Ill be more contrarian than all the other anons and say bendis is good
Im cool now right?

the caveat is bendis is good...
on this trades from 15 years ago!

Bendis can write a good Batman. Surprisingly or unsurprisingly I can't really say.

Also Martian Manhunter is great from what I have heard.

I tried but the art seems off and the whole thing seems so... weird for weirdness sake? Does it get better or is it just the kind of thing you either like or dislike?

How dare you enjoy comics

>doomsday clock outselling every other comic (when an issue comes out)
thats the saddest thing i've ever heard lol

What does Ant-Man have to do with this thread?

Both will be at Baltimore Comic Con

The problem isn't that it's exceptional compared to other Bendis comics. The problem is that Bendis isn't writing a Superman comic, he's writing a Bendis comic. It's indistinguishable from anything else he's ever written.

What did you mean by that

THIS

Just kill Bendis, King and maybe Didio. Snyder is sometimes ok honestly, he just need to stop trying to outmorrison Morrison.
I liked John's JSA so I can't be biased against him desu

>Marvel: Spider-Man, X-Men, Avengers, Iron Man, Daredevil, Moon Knight, GotG, numerous events, other books, created Jessica Jones and Miles Morales
>DC: Superman, Batman, Young Justice, created Naomi
>Numerous creator-owned books

A few more years and a few more DC franchises, and Bendis will have touched nearly every major superhero in some way, from both companies. In the future people will think he's the greatest comic book writer ever based on this. And there's nothing we can do about it.

snyder still carries a lot of hope from court of owls

This. I read the first 10 or so issues of action and it's just a boring stupid mystery with DC superheroes thrown in who all sound the same.

I will forever HATE Bendis for what he did to Jon

didn't hickman want do to Legion of Superheroes??
why the hell did they give it to bendis even after he pretty much flopped out on Superman? I could see if he was a hot property but this decision makes no sense.

same

Bendis has to ruin everything. He went to DC so that he could turn it into garbage. He literally lives to cause destruction.

I know a lot of anons are going to go "ohhhhh it's losing sales" but this is actually the smallest amount in decline in a comic series that you can find. Anyone who follows sales of comics over time know this is true. Most events would kill to be that consistent. Its only been beaten by landmark issues, high profile #1s, and Metal. And this series started in November 2017. How can 10 out of 12 issues of a comic nearing the two year mark still sell this much?

To be fair. IH is way better than an Batbook currently being published. I dont even hate king. This is just fact.

This page is after a previous run in which it is implied Doc Manhattan zapped him into some bad place. This is also after his Dad thought it would be a good idea to talk Clark into being find with lording over humans.

None of this makes sense and Bendis killed Superman for me.

Sounds more like an opinion.

I'm still waiting for Marvel to wake the fuck up and give Ewing full control over Cosmic Marvel. Shit would be kino.

Fuck off Buster. Lol

A few years from now people won't even know Jon Kent even existed.

DC isn't really confident on Superman, so Bendis likely doesn't get blamed for his numbers there.

Leviathan is pretty much the worst performing Batman related mini-series currently though, so hopefully DC realizes that the issue is Bendis now.

I don't see how he isn't. Superman was selling fine before Bendis came. His numbers are much worse than Tomsai

At least Jon is still around in some form. Anyone remember Chris?

Doomsday Clock is actually decent. It's the main universe stuff that's trash.

Biggest elephant in the room in the comics industry is that Bendis never sold well. His Avengers run is hit only "hit", but when you consider that it had Spider-Man AND Wolverine it should have sold even better than it did. The guy's writing style is sales poison and always has been. The industry copying his writing style is a big reason why there has been so much decline in the industry over the last decade and a half.

When the fuck is my boy coming back?

If I fly to America, put on a mask for the deed and manage to get a flight back out before cops figure out it was me, you won't need to.

Opinion discarded.

They legitimately haven't done anything right outside of Morrisons Lantern since announcing Bendis.

That was literally before AC1000 and they haven't stopped fucking up since. Anybody who tries to hide it or deny it via company wars makes it worse. I don't give a fuck about marvel or any of their characters I want my DC back and that means VERY public oustings of Bendis from EVERY book he's on, KSD from Aquaman and Wilson on WW. Cancel fractions god awful jimmy book and send Tom King to fucking Guam. Then tell Taylor to go back to kangaroo land and tell every single writer on staff there's a 5 year moratorium on "things will never be the same" pitches.

This. I wish he'd come to my local con so I could spit on him.

The target audience is Morrisonfags and the like twenty people in the world who thought GL was at its best in the 80's and early 90's.

So people with taste is what you're saying?

If you think the art seems off it's you that have the problem. There's no two ways around it that book is stunning.

This isn't even a taste thing. There is objectively good and objectively bad art. Sharpe in TGL has been objectively fantastic.

maybe it's all just a bad dream

I got a new idea for a character: Alfred Who Laughs. Hire me DC!

If you are triggered by that, that's on you.
No one stays on the top forever, just look at Superman or more "recently" ASM. Things change, if IH wasn't a thing another book would have ended up outselling Batman, that's just how it goes (this without leaving anything from IH's success which is impressive in its own right, i honestly don't remember any ongoing series in the recent history to actually gaining readers instead of slowly but surely losing them).
People like you are the reason no one likes the batfags.

>Not true
I have read he wanted to quit capeshit too, but i also read he wanted to do this "season two".
So i guess it is a break? Guess we'll have to wait to see, Grant is honestly the only DC writer i care about, it would be ugly to see him quitting the genre.

The masked man?

This is false, he’s already completed drafting season 2 and will be writing next year. The guy promised to finish Sea Guy 2 and Multiversity 2 as well in the same interview.

It’s a weirdly common name in comics, it’s also the name of the Super team in Morrison’s Zenith.

It's amazing how fast shit went down the drain once Bendis arrived
Rebirth was great before he showed up

Bendis is the vampire monitor

You don't need to reply more than once to the same post to prove how much of a retard you are, the lack of self-awareness from your original post already did that for you, shill.

They're going down at around the same rate as every other series that has reached 50 issues.
Wondy is actually dipping at a quicker level.

thanks for using an avatar, now can you please also get a trip so i can filter your autism?

You won't find the source.
Snyder did an interview with newsarama about how excited he was to bring the JSA back in the pages of Justice League.
The interviewer asked him how that relates to doomsday clock, and Snyder responded with a "Doomsday Clock is a nice story, but is sort of it's own thing. There's no connection" sort of response (paraphrasing).
Newsarama ran the interview, people noticed, and then they edited that part out.

>His numbers are much worse than Tomsai
His numbers (for the same amount of time that has passed) are around 1000 units above Tomasi.
Except, Tomasi's Superman was coming out twice a month, so DC was making twice that amount of money.

Filter yourself and stop posting replies. You obviously have nothing to add.

>>Bendis joins DC
>>Superman is ruined
I refuse to believe that someone out there actually prefers Bendis' Superman/AC run to Tomasi's and Jurgen's
I'm still salty on how Bendis "ruined" a pretty enjoyable comic, last time I hated a fictional work this much, was like during the Fullbring arc of Bleach

I haven't touched a DC book since Bendis joined, but even before then the only stuff I was reading was Superman until Tomasis run ended and Flash. I had been reading GL books too but more so out habit than anything.

I've been catching up on Flash because I find it to be pretty fun for the most part and it's probably the only Rebirth book that was consistently decent. I don't even know what books are on the way because I don't pay attention to solicits because I know Bendis has his hands in everything and will just ruin my favorite characters anyway.

I've been having a much more enjoyable time going back reading old runs of stuff from the 60s-90s.

But then what is the reason for the Over-Monitor to exist? Does he still exist?
And since Perpetua exists does that mean the Over-Monitor is the father of all Monitors?
