/co/ - Comics & Cartoons

No Justice was a 4 issue series, lasting a month, and was mostly set up for stuff in other runs. Can it really be called an event?

I liked Metal but mostly because I liked the alternate Batman designs. Actually what hooked me was Riccardo Federici's art in Batman: Murder Machine.

It's time for you to stop reading capeshit comics.

I'd love to read Dark Nights Metal, actually.

Are the big two still doing universe-ending events every 6 months? We used to storytime / mock / bitch about them, but I haven't seen anything lately. Have the events stopped or have the majority of readers just stopped caring, even to complain?

How many non-crisis events did DC do before the modern era anyways? I can't think of any.

Same I might just story time the whole thing too. I really only read the one shots which were good

They've hardly been doing events on the scale of some of the classics.

To argue that No Justice or Metal/Dark Nights are on the same scale as, say, Knightfall, No Man's Land, Zero Hour etc is disingenuous.

What is being shown in the OP is more crossover stories that let more runs crossover. Off the top of my head, there was the Night of the Monster Men arc from early Rebirth that had all the Batfamily lines tie into each other, but it was only 1 or 2 issues from each run, so sure it's 12 issues or whatever, but hardly an event and more just an entry point to other runs you'd otherwise not be reading.

Yeah thats what I want, just read the backstories of each evil Batman (except Man who Laughs, that was already storytimed here).

And after researching covers from a comic cover thread (before interesting, artistic threads weren't considered Leddit threads from total retards which shouldn't be posted unlike all those shitty scared white male pussy threads) I'm interested in reading Venomverse, too.

Most of the events these days are smaller crossovers. It still runs the usual problem of (((events))) by fucking up peoples' runs, but they aren't big enough to change any status quos. So nobody really cares.

>scared white male pussy threads

What?

>>1024341

Well that's a shame, because the idea that another event was happening made me immediately quit reading DC comics because I didn't want to put in the effort.

The only big arcs since Rebirth started have been The Button/Doomsday Clock, which is just more Rebirth, and the Dark Nights/Metal universe crossover, which introduced a bunch of new heroes and villains with more abstract powers, but those are looking shaky aside from 2 of the titles, so probably not even worth going into them and just staying with the collected issues.

Actually, the New Age of Heroes line reminds me of that terrible line they tried in the early 2000s where those not-Xenomorphs came to Earth and gave people superpowers after they used them as hosts. I can't even remember the name of the arc or any of the spin off characters, it must have been that bad that I've cleansed it from memory.

Are you going to storytime or what?

>>1024682

Bloodstorm? Bloodlines? Something like that.

> I can't even remember the name of the arc or any of the spin off characters

Bloodlines, which Anima, Blood Pack, and Hitman spun out of. I think there was even a miniseries reboot that came out in the early days of Rebirth.
