Wonder Woman had to leave the Cheetah to her animalistic side because she couldn't get through to her until Rebirth You're not alone in that, but you've convinced yourself that you are, like a high school edge-lord. Moving onto the art: it's alright Mikel Janin has a distinct style that cuts some pretty impressive figures[...]

A colorful and brilliantly drawn comic, Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #23 also bodes some great drama for the coming issues.

DC Drought" articles. People keep saying that DC didn't know who they were when they launched the New 52, but now they have their identity with Rebirth. First off, this is a sprawling corporation that is almost 100 years old These people know who and what they are Secondly, why do they have to be one thing?[...]

In my recap of Aquaman: Rebirth, I already ranted and raved about how incredible Stepjan Sejic's art is I can repeat myself here It's incredible It's absolutely gorgeous It's at-once stylized and almost photorealistic There's depth, the shading is done well, and the colors are astonishing He, in one issue, has become one of my[...]

It never got bad, but it never wowed in the same way that Geoff Johns' run on the series did. When Dan Abnett took on the book shortly before Rebirth, a writer most famed for his work on the cosmic side of Marvel with books like Nova, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the Annihilation crossover, there[...]

It makes for a great visual piece of storytelling, as well as just adding to the fun. Super Sons so far is proving to be a surprise gem of the DC Rebirth line, as it could easily have played completely silly, but instead we get something fun and with character and heart.

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] While I did say that Titans is the quintessential Rebirth title, Sam Humphries' Green Lanterns is definitely my favorite. This is a fantastic buddy cop title that uses the tropes of that sub-genre to its advantages and subverts them when it should The pairing of Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz could easily go down in[...]

Also, Ant-Man made itself a tidy profit at the box office too. My overall point is, if Marvel's recent practices have been a monsoon of titles, DC has been in a perpetual drought since the implementation of Rebirth There are some titles promised after Metal, but, other than that, DC's horizon is looking really bare[...]

It seems likely that this is teasing the big Watchmen thing boiling in the background of Rebirth, but it also is a sign of the coming treachery in the Titans It implies that it might be Omen I really hope not The introvert being the manipulated traitor? No, never The powerful telepath turning on the[...]

Justice League Of America #7 promised us that it would be "all capped off with a moment fans have been waiting for since DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH!" I'm not sure I found that in the issue in question Did you? Here are some theories… Unless that was Professor Palmer trying to make himself known? Maybe it depends upon who the[...]

CBR published a very interesting theory on the notion that the real big bad of Doomsday Clock, the new 4-issue event from Geoff Johns, Gary Frank and Brad Anderson coming November that promises to be the resolution of the DC/Watchmen/Rebirth mystery, may in fact be Superboy-Prime. It's a great article, with a ton of fantastic points[...]

Last year, the DC Universe confronted the legacy of Watchmen in Rebirth the way Watchmen confronted the legacy of superhero comics three decades ago," explains writer Geoff Johns "Thematically, and metaphorically, there was no better choice than to use Dr Manhattan If you're going to have a conflict between optimism and pessimism, a battle between[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] The third part of The Button, the story-line that has been promised to provide the next major steps in the ongoing mystery of Rebirth, Batman #22 performs spectacularly well in some respects, but slightly under-performs in another Heading into this review, beware: there are significant spoilers. . . . . The issue itself is great Tightly written, with a[...]

From Lobo's hook to Martian Manhunter's suit to the Blue Beetle ship to Destiny's book, there's a lot to find here. And remember this scene from DC Universe Rebirth that led to The Button storyline? Well, we get to see it again from the Flash perspective. And a return to Flashpoint… And it's time for a trip… Is that a[...]

go Jeffrey! The room is packed for a Friday. Dan Didio kicks off the Rebirth panel with stating DC incorporates feedback from fans, takes time to ask what folks are enjoying re: Rebirth Didio asks fan if his Nightwing shirt is "a statement." "The fun part is talking about the characters and the stories." Didio admits they'd gotten away[...]

  Hot on the heels of Greg Rucka's announcement that he is leaving Wonder Woman, one of Wonder Woman's artists Liam Sharp has now announced that he

DC Rebirth Wonder Woman writer Greg Rucka has announced via his tumblr that he will be leaving the comic with it's 25th issue. Making a point to put people's mind at ease that he is not leaving for any nefarious reasons or being fired, he simply needs to respect his commitments to his fellow collaborators and[...]

Came to say Thank You to fans who have given Rebirth a chance He can't stay, but it was worth trying. Geoff is proud of everyone's work, happy with Sam's work on Green Lantern, remembering when he had an Afro, Phil was the first artist he met at DC (Phil: "I think you're right.") He drew[...]

Even as much of it was recently returned to her via DC Rebirth and Titans Hunt. And now… in Titans Annual #1, she gets the rest of it. Looks like Wonder Woman knew what Donna Troy was after all. You know, for someone who's had her own issue with her entire life being a lie… …you'd have thought she'd[...]

And inside? Copies of the third printing of DC Rebirth #1 with the Gary Frank cover Lost since originally printed, now found by DC Comics in the Diamond warehouses, and made available (in limited numbers) to order, by retailers.   He held his treasure high above his head Then everybody's faces melted off. Turns out those Eclipso promotional diamonds are[...]

Tut tut. But today a few DC Comics titles are setting out their stalls regarding DC Rebirth, what exactly happened and who is in charge. Mr Mxyzptlk talks about the "he" as the person behind the splitting of Superman and Lois Lane, now reunited across two realities as the same individuals with both sets of memories. Yes, just[...]

Spencer took to Twitter earlier this week to lash out at the performance of last year's DC Comics reboot event, DC Rebirth. https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/829151273479843840 https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/829153608344096768 It was unclear whether Spencer was taunting DC fans, DC itself, or the very idea of Rebirth itself, but he was definitely taunting somebody: https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/829158071918174208 He continued to debate fans: https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/829171608065499137 https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/829174087343747072 https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/829195017675763713 https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/829461671634538497 https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/829461982268919808 https://twitter.com/nickspencer/status/829476609589522432 Even Bleeding Cool Rumormonger-in-Chief Rich Johnston got in[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] [Spoiler Warning – There will be some mild spoilers in this review] Cover by Ivan Reis, Joe Prado & Marcelo Maiolo The JLA Rebirth: The Ray one shot had a lot riding on it for me It's the return of a classic character I've always been a bit of a fan of, it's a gay male[...]

There was a whole feeling of kind of 'rebirth' and there's an exciting group of actors," Affleck said of the filming of Justice League "You know, Ezra Miller and Jason Momoa and guys like that, so much fun, and Gal Gadot who's great and Henry Cavill It was a lot of fun." Fun? What is this…[...]

The press release promotes the crossover as the next stage in the story started by Geoff Johns' DC Universe Rebirth #1, and implies it will lead into a larger story. "What begins as a simple investigation soon turns deadly when the secrets of the button prove irresistible to an unwelcome third party – and it's not[...]

It's in that spirit that DC Comics will be running eleven different commercials for their Rebirth initiative on AMC next year, as well as networks nobody watches like IFC, TBS, TNT, TruTV, El Rey and Boomerang (these are comics, folks, let's not break the budget) It won't be the first time DC has run ads[...]

This should be a sign to DC of what they are getting right and what they are getting wrong. Other things on the list were well justified like Rebirth, the return of Classic Superman, Young Animals and the introduction of DC'S Super Hero Girls But it's interesting that even in a video meant to hype the[...]

Proving that the sky's the limit when it comes to promoting their comics, as long as the sky is here defined as cheap flash animations of comic book artwork, DC Comics released a trailer for the Volume 1 collected editions of their popular DC Rebirth not-a-reboot comics The comics signal a return to a "meat[...]

On Twitter, WWE released a short video advertisement for the comic, which, while relatively modest and unspectacular, is leagues above the lackluster attempts at making comic book trailers or TV advertisements undertaken in recent years by Marvel and DC. Take a look at this trailer for Marvel's Infinity super-mega-crossover event, which suffers from a cheesy narrator and even[...]
