As a long time fan of Captain Marvel family a lot of what Johns wrote about these characters have been a mixed bag for me, like most things he writes, I loved the brief cameo Billy made as a member of the JSA but more importantly during that era and during 52 what he wrote with Black Adam made me fall in love with the character outside of being a good villain for Billy. Then again the back ups he wrote in Justice League threw the last of the good will I had for him out the window at that time and I hated the replacement family.
Despite a lot of the changes that are holdovers from the back up stories I think this issue was just genuinely fun and enjoyable and the art is decent aside from some of the unintentional(?) goofiness.
Also I am so happy Sen was able to draw a back up in this I have been a fan of them for such a long time now and the reaction is genuinely wholesome and warming.

This feels like a 2000AD book in all the best possible ways, honestly one of the best books DC has done in a while and is easily one of if not my favourite issue of the year.
I am not a huge Green Lantern fan I've read more books with Alan in it than Hal but this book is giving me the itch to crack open my Silver Age Green Lantern omnibus again and finish it.

So remember how I said how little could happen in that many pages in doomsday clock well this beats it out, for a series that is ``sadly`` being cancelled in 3 more issues you would think it would be more dialogue and a lot more happening, cool to see Dr. Fate, sad to see his Nu52ified costume though would much rather have pic related if they still have that retarded reversion to undies.
Also Super Sons is not up yet so and that is all I will read today so the rest will just be straight up posting with no commentary unless I feel the need too for now.

An honest question here, is anyone still reading Batman, and more importantly does anyone here like it?
Even reddit is getting off the Tom King circle jerk train, I mean I enjoyed The Vision but everything else he has done I have not liked (I have not read Omega Men). It seems that most Batman comics in the last 8 years have been incredibly enjoyable aside from Batman and Robin vol 2.

P.S I hope Tomasi's run that starts next week on Detective Comics helps to alleviate that problem.
I have always thought Grant Morrison's take on Batman was the best, though always not executed in the best possible ways.

Fuck, Johns has destroyed Captain Marvel. This doesn't even feel like it's related anymore. I've been wanting a Captain Marvel series forever and this was just garbage. The only the thing that even felt kinda like Captain Marvel was the costume, and even that isn't as good as the classic. I can't stand the new thunderbolt design.

Ah okay, so I'd probably figured it out myself had I visited an actual comic store with more comics to choose from. I only got 3 of the evil Batmen backstories and The Batman Who Laughs.
I only like the alternative backstories. Metal itself is ridiculously edgy, and I say that as someone who thought New 52 didn't go too far.

I just love how specific it is. Batman can't kill the Joker because then special Jokergas(tm) will make him go crazy and kill people! Let's just ignore that the Batman of all people should be able to work out how to kill a guy without being right next to him, or how this argument also means Batman has no real reason not to kill his other villians (unless we're to presume they all have simillar boobytraps.
Oh, and if you read the conversation with Gordon on the rooftop, Batman says he only believes Joker has special Jokergas in his heart. Apparently being the worlds greatest detective simply means that all your wildest, most ridiculous guesses are required to be 100% correct regardless of how little they make sense.
How hard would it be to just say "Batman doesn't kill because muh ethical codes, killing is bad"?
