AMEN

The Court of Owls has been great, however the Talons seem a step above Hand Ninjas. And Galan should read this.

So I haven't had allot of money for comics this last year but I'd like to know how all this new DCnU stuff coincides with things that have happened in the past of DC and appearently (at least from what I'm reading online) still exist in DCU such as Green Lantern Corps where Kyle is still a GL n the Blackest Night and all still happened as well as final crisis, and Batman Incorporated, and so on?

I was under the impression ALL of DCU was rebooted with Flashpoint.
Was I incorrect?

Honestly, no. A lot of DC was changed/retconned, but there are still glaring inconsistencies.

Batman is pretty much the same as he's been the last five or so years. Green Lantern keeps everything since Johns started writing in 2004 (I think). Aquaman is mostly the same in terms of history; it's just being added to rather than altered.

There were fewer complete reboots of characters than there were keeping aspects of characters, from what I can see. And most people are generally portrayed as they were before the reboot, with some exceptions.

So everything is suppose to be within the same new continuity but its just all messed up and doesn't work, atleast as of yet?

Bryan Hitch's cover to Earth 2

Hitch changed Earth 2 Di's head-thing a bit, and I like it a lot more this way. mmm

I, Vampire and its Justice League Dark tie-in were fantastic.

We already knew Andrew would be resurrected. What we didn't know is that

Spoiler:
he would be gifted with power =/> Cain. With said power Andrew not only destroyed Cain's entire Vampire army with a gesture, but he went on to resurrect said army (this time under HIS control.) Andrew's new-found power also allowed him to easily 'kill' Cain.

...I didn't particularly like the ease in which Andrew preformed the latter feat, but it is what it is.

Wow.

It does work, it just hasn't all been explained yet.

Aquaman was good this week; interested to see what happens next time.

Liked Aquaman a lot. He was a real dick trying to abandon the townspeople to the avalanche and then, after saving the little girl, dumped her on the ground like a used tissue

Like a boss.

I'm glad John's didn't really mess with Arthur's personality like the reboot did with Ollie

Yeah, me too. Especially seeing as Arthur is usually very different from the rest of the League personality wise.

Oh man. I'm still on the part where he found the ship in the desert. Can't wait to read more. Aquaman may be my favorite read due to the Art and Character and Writing. I just hope we get to see some Poseidonis.... with that art.. man.

At the Aquaman readers: Who do you think Mantis is working for?

I enjoy the OTHERS so far.

Just finished Justice League #8. It gets a bit confusing. Did I miss the part where Martian Manhunter showed up? Was that in a different book or something?

I actually kind of like the story of Captain Marvel so far. As long as they don't keep him in the ass-hole area.

AC #9 was interesting because it introduced the multiverse. Other than that it was nothing to write home about, imo.
