I don't mind it at all tbh.

The Omega symbol is a nice touch. Somewhat reminds me of a cross between Final Crisis Darkseid and Darkseid toward the end of Justice League Unlimited.

Yeah I think its alright, coulda been better tho. 😐

My fav. covers for the new solits

DC Universe Presents

Demon Knights

Frankenstein

Green Lantern Corps

I vampire

JL Dark

Hawkman

Static

Wonder Woman

I'm somewhat pissed! Ron Marz is no longer writing Voodoo! 😠

Now we have Josh Williamson. Some say he's an improvement, but Ron was perfect for the book.

Some more new covers that caught my eye. Looks like The Edge will have some crossing over. Like Grifter and Voodoo, Suicide Squad and Stormwatch. Love it.

Voodoo

Stormwatch

Suicide Squad

Deathstroke

Not feeling the new Darkseid look. Too busy.

I'd have preferred the classic look with pants or something.

Agreed.

Also still really hate Slade's armor. The guy's a friggin tank when he should be a graceful martial artist/assassin.

Jim Lee is still stuck in the 90's. He shouldn't be involved with the redesigning. Even his art isn't anything special anymore, he has some decent story telling skills but everything else is meh. Guys like Mahnke, Reis etc. blow him out of the water. At least imo.

They definitely went with the same fashion cue as Darkseid's JLA/Earth 2 analogue, Omega Man:

how very dcau.

My thoughts, too.

As part of the mercenary underground it makes sense for Slade to wear armor, since he's being shot at all the time!

And 90's ruled!

So Far the most menacing, cosmic villain post Flashpoint is Peraxxus. From JLI.

Good to have a cosmic villain who looks like an steroid version of Grim Reaper.

Does anyone get a sense that DC is going the Marvel route? More down to earth top tiers. DC used to be top tier, cosmic heavy, but nearly half of their books are street level heavy.

I like.

What gave you that impression?

Which one?

That their books are somehow different.

Well, if you count them, there are around 21 books which are are around street level. They have a handful of top tier titles like Superman, WW, and Flash, but they are weaker than pre-Flashpoint levels.

Except for Firestorm/Captain Atom.

I wouldn't say they were necessarily weaker. Current Superman hasn't been shown to be weaker, and neither has Flash that I can tell. DC has always had more street books than herald books, there was just a gulf in quality which made the higher books seem more prominent.
