What comic is that from? I want to catch up on the DCnU.

Recommend me some good titles and I'll give you a cookie.

As far as good ongoing titles are concerned, it really depends what genre you like. Personally, I prefer a lot of the more 'obscura' comics, like:
Phantom Stranger
Justice League Dark
Animal Man
Swamp Thing

The above not only come with excellent stories, but the artwork in them is, often times, tattoo-worthy.

As far as more mainstream stuff goes, for starters I'd recommend:
Justice League
Aquaman
Flash
New Guardians

Also, you should definitely follow the event: Trinity War. It's just starting, and it is good so far.


Same with JLD, JL, and Aquaman (really good and starting to be a fan).

Was following all Lanterns stuff including Red Lanterns, but to me it got tedious and a little meh.. It's been nonstop X-over with all Lantern books. A little too much, but unavoidable since everything led up to the "First Lantern". Gonna just stick with just GL (since Hal is boss)...

Stormwatch started out with gunzblazin, but the last few months for me has been bleh (like the GL titles)..

I definitely recommend Wonder Woman. I don't know what it is, but for me this has been the best DCnU title I've followed. I'm sticking with this baby. It reminds me of Gillen's run on Thor (to me was always underrated), but dare I say it?! Even better! I'm just lovin the evolving soap opera with the gods.. Just like how I envisioned Greek mythology as a child, disfunctional as hell!! On top of that, we have a recurring character in Orion who is not completely mindless. Trully bad@$$ version (Thor Like), but with his own identity.. Frukin awesome series...

Highly recommend Superman Unchained also.. Two issues in and I think it blows the other Superman titles out of the water!

I disagree there. Lobdell's Superman is better so far. Not blown away with Unchained, but Wraith does seem cool.

Unchained Superman seems more cerebral to me since he is constantly having these internal monologues on how he would deal with situations.
It's open for the reader to see what goes on inside his head before he acts or reacts to any given situation.
The way it's executed is just awesome.

I'm current on JL and JLA, do i need to read JLDark for this?

Yes. It's part of the main storyline.

i know it's gonna have 2 issues as part of the crossover. I wanna know if I'm really missing out on key details by not reading all of the issues that predate JLD's role in Trinity War.

i really don't wanna. I don't have an interest in any of those characters. 🙁

Oh as far as just the Trinity War issues are concerned, there's absolutely no need for you to read anything before today's issue (#22.) It's the only tie-in so far.

cool.

I like Lobdell's Supes, but I'm not sure if its because the penciler suits Superman so damn much

Constantine #5 was very good and informative.

Spoiler:
Constantine was able to momentarily usurp the power of Shazam from Billy-- however, he had to trick Billy into powering down to his human form first. After becoming Shazam, Constantine was only able to contain those magics for like 5 pages-- in fact, he made several remarks on how tremendously hard it was from him to control that much power w/o being killed by it. Clearly the Shazam magics are no joke if Constantine himself can barely manage to manipulate them without dying.

Constantine also told Billy that Pandora's Box is, essentially, a 'global bomb'. If Billy touches the Box, the proverbial fuse lights, and the countdown [presumably to extinction] begins.

i liked part 3. but goddammit, now i wanna read JLD... then I'll probably have to read Constantine. 🙁

Phantom Stranger upcoming plans seem pretty interesting.

Nice.

The last issue was brilliant, and it sounds like this issue will be similar. 👆

Fawkes: The question is there, isn't it? I suppose, before we consider getting to that, we should ask a few others. Like, for instance: does Pandora know she had a hand in creating the New 52 universe? Is this Pandora the same as the one who triggered the change? Is there anyone else who might know what happened? Would there be personal repercussions to the manipulation of reality on such a wide scale?

Nrama: Whoa, now you're really messing with my head. She might not be the same Pandora? She might not know she did this?

What a tard. Anyone who read the backstory in Justice League #6 knows that it is the same Pandora, and she is well aware of the fact that she revamped creation:

I'm glad how it's going so far. I really dig the new DC The stories are really good and events are well written with enough new stuff that it keeps me interested.

This could end badly.

How do you think it will all end?
