DCU gets remade - all books are #1s, Geoff Johns and Jim Lee on Justice League, more

Green Arrow was the best this week and Detective was awesome. From Forever Evil and Swamp Thing, this week was strong.

Yeah, it really was a stellar week.

For anyone who hasn't checked it out: Green Arrow has been really good since Lemire took over at issue #17(most issues before this were utter shit.) It has an Iron Fist(circa Brubaker/Fraction) type of vibe to it now, which is saying a lot considering that was among the best series' ever written.

That said, if GA keeps up at its current pace, it will undoubtedly evolve into one of DC's best comics in the New 52. Tbh, it's nearly there already-- the artwork, coloring, dialogue and plot are nigh-superb, atm.

I've tried to read it since he came on board, and while the quality was definitely better, I just can't get over Ollie being so different.

Understandable. I definitely wasn't a GA fan in post-Flashpoint continuity, so the drastic character change doesn't bother me at all.

I might try to read it and just insert the name "Connor" whenever I see "Ollie"...maybe then things it'll go better.

pre?

Yeah, pre-Flashpoint. My bad.

Ah. Yeah, I became pretty attached to him, so it was a bit of a shock for me.

👆 Definitely has a Iron Fist vibe, but with much better art, IMO.

Green Arrow is consistently excellent.
The new Richard Dragon is awesome.

BUT WHAT IS IT WITH LEMIRE TURNING Count Vertigo TO AN UTTER WIMP?
I mean seriously what's his problem?
He doesn't fly.
He folds like a paper towel against the slightest sign of physical force.
He is totally useless in h2h.
His implant is now placed on a ridiculously easy spot to hit (instead of being internal).
He has no training whatsoever (like he had from Suicide Squad and Checkmate).
And to top it all, it seems his men laugh behind his back.

He is completely useless.

Apart from that, GA is excellent, though I don't like the possibility of being TO connected to the "Nolanesque" and realistic TV series.

Also Forever Evil is on it's way to being one of DC's best events.

I like Forever Evil a lot more than Infinity. Anyway, here is a good article about the mysterious Hooded prisoner.

Anybody have any clue?

I think Alex Luthor is the best bet out of them, but wouldn't make sense, since they said all they had to do is throw him at that creature that was tearing apart their world. Unless he had prep. 😖hifty:

I think it's a Luthor.

I'm going with Superman.

As soon as I saw him I thought of Superman.

Interesting.

It seems that the Crime Syndicate’s invasion has significantly enhanced the levels of evil in the universe, and that this evil has a physical manifestation: Blight. - See more at: http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2013/10/04/whats-new-in-the-new-52-announcing-forever-evil-blight?adid=dchero3_Urban-Blight-at-its-most-deadly%E2%80%A6#sthash.CHj2Cm2C.dpuf

Also, looks like the Trinity of Sin will be joining the Justice League Dark.

Looks awesome. 👆

Swamp Thing, Phantom Stranger, Constnatine, Pandora, Zauriel on the same team? Sounds beastly. 👆
