What's so bad about that woman-in-charge story you mentioned earlier?I mean, I hate the whole SJW thing, but unless I'm missing something (pretty sure I do), it's not that bad of an idea to have a schemer acting more reasonably than Palps - in order to control, maintain and expand the Empire's reach...
Palps' PR leaves much to be desired, after all.
But in that issue he was treated as some second rate hack, whose villainy was interfering with the 'real' plans that were laid out by some random female character... Just a stupid and senseless change, imo.

nahh not that one, it was a comparison thread between the two i think. like darkseid resurrecting characters and odin failing to do so...

When the **** is Thanos: Infinity Ending released? It's been over a week now.
Now I'm glad I bought it on comixology earlier, lol. Shitty part is not being able to see everyones reactions, though... ermm

There's really no ongoing series that I would recommend right now. Unfortunately, the SW line has taken a pretty sharp decline in quality in the last year or so. The last 'good' series was Soule's Darth Vader v2 -- I'd definitely recommend that one, as it does a lot for the mythos(in very good ways.)On that note, Soule is about to relaunch the main Star Wars series -- it will be set between ESB and RotJ. I expect great things from that.
Soule is also writing a Kylo Ren mini that will detail Ben Solo's time as a Jedi student under Luke, his turn to the dark side/transformation into Kylo Ren under Snoke, the Knights of Ren, etc... Which also sounds promising.
Well, that sucks.

If it were Thrawn instead of her... you'd love every panel of it 😛

I know people are saying that Doomsday Clock will make -all- showings in DC history canon (at least for Superman) by basically making it so the previous Crisis stories didn't alter continuity.
But didn't that already happen in Convergence when the heroes undid CoIE?-

Because as of Doomsday Clock itself, the other Crisis-events still happened, and were responsible for altering Superman's timeline:
