I'm not a tried and true Superman fan. But I am a Reis fan. (His panels and inks did it justice. Certainly has his face right). I was enthralled just a bit perhaps? I went into it with zero expectations. And I'm truly impressed...

First off, it's stupid that Rebirth Jimmy didn't already know Superman's identity, especially if Jon was a preteen. He should've been one of the first people to know... Second, why are the JL and Teen Titans cheering? Some of them, like Flash and Batman have secret identities... Third, the exposed identity thing didn't work in New 52, and led to Superman Reborn. And it definitely didn't work for Spidey, leading to One More Day.
Sigh, i feel bad for the next writer that has to take over and retcon Bendis's bullshit. I'll probably give this series until issue 19, then drop both Superman and Action. I can't deal with Bendis any ruining the Superman family any further.
Works for Iron Man, Captain America. I liked how Spidey's reveal led to dire consequences.
I hope next writer just ignores everything Bendis has done and same with Batman just ignore the existence of Bendis and Kings books .
When i thought New 52 was worst thing to happen to DC comics i never predicted King and Bendis coming . I don't think I could hate writers more than i do these two . I feel like they are just doing things to get attention since they are sh*t and will never be remembered for great story arcs . With the damage King has done on his way off Batman and all the crap Bendis has done i'm very close to giving up on DC superhero books .
What makes the New 52 so bad? I've never heard anyone say anything bad about any specific issue or writer involved with New 52, yet for some reason, the entire thing was bad. I hear great reviews of Snyder, Tomasi, Johns and Lemire. Please explain. This is a sincere question.
I am curious about this as well... I have read a lot of good stuff from the New 52.
There were a lot of bad books in the new 52(savage hawkman, Green Arrow, ect.) But there was a ton I loved(Aquaman, Green Lantern, Batman, ect) overall i loved it but have heard many people bashing the entirety of it.
Was the Jeff Lemire Green Arrow New 52? That was awesome!
Yes he took over at issue 17? That was good but until that it was utter crap.
There is some stuff in New 52 I like but overall i don't like it in general . I hated Superman , Wonder Woman ,and Constantine then there is stuff like Teen Titans I didn't like but didn't hate . I like Snyder's Batman through Death of the Family but hate Zero Year stuff and the Mr Freeze story he did . I like New 52 Detective and Batman and Robin . Green Lantern didn't change so it was still good , I really like Johns Aquaman . Although I don't think Johns Justice League is bad , I don't like them starting from scratch not knowing each other same thing with the relationship between Swampy and Constantine having their history erased . I guess what i hate about New 52 isn't what was written but history that was erased from the time line . One thing that bothers me most about it is changing Diana from being made from Clay to being daughter of Zeus .
I don't remember if i read Green Arrow or not will have to read to remember .
New 52 was a huge mixed bag. The books that were good were very very good. The books that were bad were horrid. And then after the first couple years it got even worse, especially during DC YOU. New 52 Supeman people particularly disliked because they undid everything to him, the marriage in particular and he just wasn't really Superman like. Thet really cherry picked what to put energy into and what not to and therefore quality was all over the damn place.
I guess this is why I hate continuity in comics... I just want great stories. Who cares if Batman is on the moon and in Gotham at the same time? Give me great writers doing thier own thing and I am a happy reader.
@Taren I understand there are people that just want good stories and not worried about continuity but i like a complete world that is for the most part in sync . That's why Terry Pratchett is my favorite writer , His Discworld is amazing but It is unrealistic to think a large group of writers is always going to fit perfectly . in comics Geoff Johns is the only writer who has close to a 100% track record for me for the most part the changes he makes He is able to do without it feeling forced . The current Shazam and Johns Justice League both have problems as far as I'm concerned but i still think they are very good stories , For the most part I don't follow writers I follow character I like , no matter who writes a Marvel book I'm not going to read it because I don't care about those characters .
@Sadistic I get ya. Most comic readers are with ya. I love Geoff Johns. I am just as happy with self contained stories I guess.
@Foozman Yep ! You got it ,
@Sadistic I think why Geoff Johns gets the "changes" right is because he has a deep understanding and respect for the history of these DC characters and it shows. I love that. However, I also enjoy a writer who says.... Let's try something completely different... Like King. We all have our own tastes. But that's why I think many people like Johns work. He really understands the history of the characters.
@Taren Yeah , I know a lot of people who hate what He did with JSA but I love it personally and think He did a great job updating it because of his understanding of the characters . I think his version of Mr Terrific is million times more interesting than the original .I'm not a fan of going completely different in most cases I'd prefer it stay in Elseworlds books .
@Sadistic Yep. I am just now reading his JSA and boy o boy am I in love with that run! I love all of it. You are right his Mr. Terrific is amazing. I am on book 3 of his JSA run. The other thing I love about Johns writing is it goes down like water. For whatever reason I can read book after book of his work. Whereas someone like Hickman I need to digest a bit more... If that makes sense.
