I've been reading the Brightest Day storyline and I was wondering which comics did the Osiris (sp?) storyline took place. I know the Max Lord takes place during JLI and the Jade story was in Justice League but I can't find where his took place.
I was mentioned in the SciFi Japan article about the appearence of extras on the Godzilla vs. Megalon DVD.

Tell me, what do you think of Brightest day? I finished it finally last month and while the ending KIND OF got spoiled because of this comic news show I watch and the back of volume 3(VERY bad move DC :mad: ) I still enjoyed it but probably would of geeked out a lot with the ending of the book.

I thought it was pretty good. Now that I have all three volumes I'm going to read them as one. A couple of the plot twists I didn't see coming. I also read the Brightest Day Green Lantern book, about their hunt for the Entities. It's also very good. I would recommend that one if you can get it.

Opps. I meant during the Brightest Day storyline. Sorry, I should have been more specific.

DC cancels 6 of the New 52 titles:

But launches 6 more... WTF?

Im upset OMAC is getting canceled, Ive been reading it. It was getting good and the art was a good nod to Kirby. But Im excited Earth 2 and World's Finest is getting put out. I liked Earth 2 and the JSA.

THE RAVAGERS – Writer: Howard Mackie. Artist: Ian Churchill. Spinning off from TEEN TITANS and SUPERBOY, this series finds four superpowered teens on the run and fighting against the organization that wants to turn them into supervillains.


Soo.....DC is making it's own Runaways?

Doesnt shock me.

Marvel has fringe books, but these fringe books have reason, good writing and a universe of support behind them. Runaways came out of no where but it was rooted in the Tsunami imprint trying to bring in readers ages 12-18 into anime and young adult novels. It evolved into a great fringe book. Marvel hit a bullseye.

DC has a scatter-gun and shoots at the target and no matter where it hits, publishes a book and cancels it in 12 issues or so... they USED to care. Example...LEGION was a great book, then it turned into REBELS and it started to suck. But when it came back before Blackest Night, it was damn good again.

I'm bummed OMAC is getting canned. I was loving that series.

I bet it's getting canned and combined with the Frankenstein comic.

Sadly, with OMAC going away I only subscribe to:
Green Lantern
Green Lantern Corps
Green Lantern New Guardians
Red Lanterns
Savage Hawkman
The Ray (and it's only 4 issues)
Legion Lost
Legion of Superheroes

Think I might add Earth 2 and World's Finest but GL family is going downhill very fast.

I confused about the whole Green Lantern and the reboot. So pretty much little to nothing was changed in the Green Lantern mythos when the giant reboot happened?

This whole reboot still confuses me a little bit. I wish they would clarify what events happened or not. But sometimes I'm not hard to confuse.
I was mentioned in the SciFi Japan article about the appearence of extras on the Godzilla vs. Megalon DVD.

Green Lantern is special...

DC claims the GL family hasnt changed. But it has. Guy didnt recognize the Martian Manhunter, who said he was fro Stormwatch, a WildStorm title that was rebooted and merged into canon with New Earth.

Trust me, Tim, it's VERY confusing and DC is skreeonk over their titles so badly. COIE was written to fix the golden age era problems with continuity. I expect a new COIE to happen soon. Flashpoint was like a baby COIE.

Far as I know, GL follows the exact same history as it did before UNLESS a New 52 title or character is involved. Example, Hal is remembered being Parallax who reignited Earth's sun and battled Superman and Mongul, but he doesnt know Superman in The New 52 JLA but isnt the same character as in Green Lantern.

It's as confusing as Legion of Superheroes was 10 years ago.

Everything that happened in GL/GLC history HAPPENED but whenever someone OUTSIDE the GL Family comes into it, it gets skreeonk up.

Only 2 titles are untouched from pre-Flashpoint - Savage Hawkman and the GL Family of comics.

Just announced. The return of, at least in flashback form , Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' seminal comic book creations from the legendary comic maxi-series, the Watchmen. With a top flight creative crew, this mini will hit this summer.

Dont care. Watchmen is dated. It wont work in a 2012 world with the BS we have going on. And why is Dr. Manhattan buttsecksing on that cover?

I don't care for this Watchmen prequel for basically the opposite reasons given by wataru.
