I have read it, just not all of it. So far the book from what ive seen has been recieved as being below average at best. I mean even taking out the changes to the characters, robinson is still not crafting a good book in general.
I hated the how they brought Jay into earth 2. That was my jumping off point.

Rumor has it, Ivan Reis is moving to JLA. 👆 I wonder where Jim Lee will go.

Kind of sad to see Lee go, but Reis is a quality artist.

I just hope Johns stays on Aquaman, though I wonder who'll end up replacing Reis.

Ed Benes would be my choice, personally, as long as he can keep a schedule.

Just please not a shitty artist. Please.

Yeah it was great! Gotta wonder how powerful Orion is going to be as WW is operating at an extremely powerful level in her book.

Anyway, I think WW has just surpassed Batman as my favorite book of the relaunch. It's phenomenal.

I just read this and I can't wait to read Azzarello's Orion! I'm looking forward to Orion/Ares encounter. And how well WW plays off of Orion.

On another note, LOSH is a fricken WASTE. Not really reading it anymore until 1 or 2 things happen:

1. Levitz steps down.
2. Or Levitz continues with his Karate Kid story.

DC is stupid for not hiring HICKMAN, because he loves the Legion. Maybe one day. Maybe.

Just heard that Ed Benes is taking over art duties on Batgirl. I approve, as long as he can keep a schedule. Him and Gail Simone is a winning team.

Ugh, the flip-flopping of writers and artists has to end. Some consistency is needed to carry a storyline

Short runs are the norm, aren't they?

Batgirl is a fave so I look forward to Benes' artwork

A pretty big rumor that Andy Diggle will write Action Comics after Morrison. Not as good as Morrison, of course, but a solid pic, if it's true.

I wanted to post this for PR

http://www.tvguide.com/News/Robot-Chicken-DC-Comics-1052101.aspx

Diggle's written some pretty good stories, but afaik he has never written Superman. In fact, most of the characters he's written are of a much lower level than Supes (ie. Green Arrow, Daredevil, Batman, Hawkeye, Punisher, etc.) so hopefully he can do Supes justice on a *consistent* basis.

...He'll never be able to fill Morrison's shoes, though.

One of the better things he's written was the Adam Strange mini.

👆 Planet Heist was a great story, and it even dealt with events of a 'cosmic' nature. However, it was only 8 issues long-- which is nothing.

I'd honestly like to see Tony Bedard write AC for a while. Look what he did with REBELS for crying out loud. It was phenomenal.

They seem to be more and more common.

The only good thing about short runs is that shitty writers don't always have time to run a franchise into the ground. Of course a better solution than moving shitty writers to another book would be to kick them out the door

Morrison hasn't exactly been blowing the doors off with his work in the Nu52...

Action Comics sucks. There I said it.

Sad state of affairs when Aquaman is indisputably the best comic DC puts out.
