If I'm not mistake, I believe that I'm wildly regarded as the most passionate pro-DC poster on this board and that no one questions my ability to remain impartial. Plus I just got tenure at Yale in the DC comics history department and I am widely considered the foremost expert on DC comics in the known universe. And I won the official srank award for most trustworthy poster 5 years in a row! 😎

Plus I missed your "VP of Comic Knowledge" tag. 😛

WD, what has been to your dislike with the reboot?

I would be the President but its all very political. I'm sure you understand.

Plus there aren't enough characters for that title... 🙁

So you genuinely didn't like Aquaman, Action Comics, The Flash, Detective Comics, Voodoo, JLI, Justice League, or any of the other books? Seriously?

Well, just between you and I....

Spoiler:
I did like Justice League Dark

Just don't tell anybody. 😉

Action Comics and TEC will eventually hit a wall like it did with JMS on Superman as TEC will hit it's own wall like it did with Morrison.

These books get overhyped all the time and by the end of the race they run out of fuel.

Not that many to be quite honest. You can pick the worst shittty DC reboot comic and would still be a masterpiece compare to anything regurgated by Marvel Comics.

To answer your question more directly...I don't like how the Women of DC were rebooted. Without the women DC would be the most shittty thing since Marvel Comics.

Also, if this was a real reboot both Damian and SBP would have been erased..but Dumbass Comics opted to keep them.

Also, why is Morrison still at DC? Get his ass to marvel so that somehow he can do Xmen: A Brand New DAy.

The three best superhero books on the stands are Marvel. Cap and Bucky, Daredevil, and Uncanny X-Force. Detective is a close number 4 though.

7.5-8/10 books. Don't get me wrong, that is still a good review, but it isn't specular.
Action Comics is certainly not a "7.5-8/10".

It is.

No.

In your opinion. The general consensus, however, is that AC is an extremely well done book. No less than a 9/10.

At any rate, I lost respect for you when you failed to include S.H.I.E.L.D. on your 'best Marvel books' list. 👇

AC is the best comic DC is putting out.

I haven't read S.H.I.E.L.D. 😮

S.H.I.E.L.D. is perfection. I'm not a 'big' Marvel guy, but that book is one of the best comics either company has produced in a LONG time, imo.

Of the big three comic cites, CBR is the only one Action Comics above 80%. Newsarama has it at 8/10, and IGN at 7.5/10. A cursory google search will give you with more 4/5, 8/10, and humorously 40/52's than it will 9 or 9.5 reviews. Most of the reviews don't apply a numerical value, I suppose you could decide you are going to assume those are the equivalent of 5 star reviews, but 80% is still a good number that could easily be attributed to those reviews as well.

If SHIELD came out on a regular monthly basis I would have included it. 😎

If you think AC is the best book DC is putting out you are going to have a stroke when you read Detective and find out what a great comic book actually looks like. 😎

LOL! Detective isn't that great. It's one of the weaker titles, IMO.

Issue three wasn't great but 1 and 2 are much better than their Action Comics equivalents. 😎

I personally have never gotten into Bat books. I know, it's weird...

Detective is pretty weak. cheesy dialogue and a not so very interesting villain. Action runs circles around it all day.

I wouldn't trust IGN to boil a kettle, tbh. Newsarama is the kind of site that lauded McDuffie's JLA, so no thanks.

Action Comics is arguably DC's best book, and although I like Detective, it isn't on Action's level. It's not far off, but Morrison's work has just been spot on so far imo.

That said, Srank is just trolling, so it doesn't matter. mmm

Trolling! That doesn't sound like me.

You should read Nightwing at least.
