Is Priestroke the best DC Rebirth comic? Is it the best DC comic from the last decade?
yes, along with new supes/jlcim really due for a reread bc month to month it was wild, often enigmatic. This concept should have lasted longer.
>>146415041Still feels like a missed opportunity that they never put Priest on Batman.
>>146415041I enjoyed the first chunk of the run a lot but it fell apart for me in the second half, what with all the crossovers and the general running out of steam.Ended it a bit underwhelmed desu.
rose is hmong
>>146415041Along sideways.
>>146415730Sideways is terrible.
>>146415041It's the best comic has published in at least the last 15 years.>>146415730Sideways was good until Jordan left.
Best comic DC has published I mean.
>>146415041My favorite Rebirth books were Prieststroke, Nightwing, and Trinity.
>>146417250Red Hood was fun too
>>146417480No.
>>146415730>>146415772>>146415862Sideways is awful. Did we read the same comic?The art is nice, but that's it.
>>146417480It was shit.
AQUAMAN
>>146420765dat dere sexo Dolphin
>>146420765Sejic SUCKS
>>146415041Sure, but it still eats balls.
Yes, until Priest became obsessed with making Damian Slade's son
Eh the strong moments are really strong, but once Priest starts bringing in more batfamily members and Titans beyond 1-2 issue arcs/cameos the book turns to shit.>Slade and Dick make an agreement/contract years before>Rose gets to get taught by a hero (Dick) so Slade isn't her only influence>in exchange Slade doesn't attack and kill Dick and his friends (ie a bunch of teenagers)>Dick is portrayed as wrong for thisLazarus Contract is when the book started going downhill.
>>146423965That was one of the best stories, wtf are you talking about?
>>146423965For a while they REALLY wanted to say Deathstroke was a Batman villain. It was like when they wouldn't stop using him in Green Arrow in the 00s.>>146424007Lazarus contract really wasn't his fault. Rebirth was billed as a reintroduction of pre-Flashpoint characters and relationships but they still weren't allowed to acknowledge the New Teen Titans having existed so the character dynamics were all wrong and the writers got blamed for it. Kory, Gar, and Raven siding with Damian over Donna, for example. Only thing Priest should be blamed for is how bad his Dick and Damian was.
>>146424007>blaming priest for mandated crossovers with other writers>post a page not even by priestKys.
>>146415041It starts off well and peaks at the annual then begins a steady decline, by the end it was terrible.>Is Priestroke the best DC Rebirth comicProbably.
I didn't want to start a new Deathstroke thread.There's leaks that Slade is coming back in 2025. Any guesses at where our favorite mercenary will show up next?
>>146425074southwest china with his daughter, rose
>>146425074Hush 2 during Loeb's obligatory trotting out Batman's whole rogue gallery and DC is desperate for sales on the main Batman bookMaybe Nightwing since Watters admitted that Grayson's run is a big influence and one of the gangs can just hire him to snuff out Dick like Blockbuster hired him to snuff out Amy
>>146425074The answer is whatever book Wiliamson will be on since he's off Green Arrow and B&R and I think he and Waid are still DC's architects despite how shit they are.
>>146425151No way, we just had our decennial Deathstroke/Nightwing fight. The next one won't happen till at least 2030.
>>146425151Will Jim Lee be able to draw Killer Croc or will Loeb have to use another excuse as to why he looks like the lizard.
>>146425177>Waid Politics aside, which is still an issue with this guy, he's the last person they need running shit. Too many boomer sensibilities when it comes to capes
>>146425243idk why dc just didn't relegate him to his own little corner with world's finestshould've just let him do a bunch of WF minis like the teen titans one since those books were actually well received unlike absolute power, lazarus planet, or batman vs robin
>>146425151>Hush 2 during Loeb's obligatory trotting out Batman's whole rogue galleryYou say this like it isn't always fantastic.
>>146425324Deathstroke deserves better than being another Batman jobber. He has Deadshot for that.
>>146415186>supes/jlcwat
>>146425626NTA but New Supes is New Super-Man, a book about the Superman of China.JLC wasn't a thing, but there was a JL and JLA at Rebirth launch, then a JLD and JLO once Rebirth died.
>>146415041Do you mean the best since 2014? Or the best of the 2010s? It's a contender for the former, but the latter belongs to the new52/Rebirth eras of Aquaman
>>146417480fuck the others RH rebirth is kino.
>>146425074Titans. Layman hinted at him using Deathstroke in an interview.>>146424041Priest's original pitch was doing an outright sequel to Judas Contract, but Cyborg being a JL founding member while Beast Boy and Raven were Damian's age meant Judas Contract was impossible to have occurred in Rebirth'd continuity.
>>146425626
>>146425692>>146426616This one's dogshit.
>>146426019It literally retconned the whole Jason character just to make him pathetic.
>>146425607>Nightwing's love interest.It's the most I can offer.
>>146426871>Nightwing's father in lawfixed.
>>146425074I didn't even know he was gone.
>>146427103Nightwing kicked his ass in Dark Crisis and Rose convinced him to turn himself in. In the end, we don't know if he's dead or not. (obviously not).
>>146427248>In the end, we don't know if he's dead or not.I swear there's this massive group of wiki readers who think Slade is dead and I don't know why.It's so fucking obvious he's alive. They literally say that he's alive.
>>146426996This would result in 50% white, 25% Hmong and 25% Romani
>>146426857sure bud.
>>146427533Williamson said he is dead, anon.
>>146429003post proof
>>146415041Probably.
>>146429121It was in that podcast he has with Sal from ComicPop. I'm not going to search it.
>>146427533>They literally say that he's alive.Read the rest of the page, anon.
>>146426996The denial of his own homosexuality is so strong that Slade would rather see Rose raping Dick than doing it himself.
>>146427533It also then shows someone pulling the plug, you illiterate retard.
>/co/ turns against Sideawaysshame on you.What the next turn against Grant Morrison?
>>146429957It's not good at all besides the art. What do you want, for me to lie?
>>146429957They've been turned on Morrison after he off handedly suggested that since he's enjoyed crossdressing his whole life, even before the current political landscape and trendiness of it all, maybe "they/them" is a better descriptor than "he" or whatever. As he said he doesn't feel *just male," but an other worldly ethereal being, as one would expect if you'd followed him or his work. Anyway, he since walked it back and again, was just musing. But the damage was done and culture lines drawn. We have to pretend to hate him now.
>>146419883It was good and then Jordan left a few issues in and it turned into a multiversal team up book that dropped the plots and supporting cast and then got cancelled and the last issue had him hooking up with his female friend (which was lame, they should have remained platonic) and I don't think any of them have shown up again. Tempus Fuginaut shows up more than Sideways.
>>146424041In all fairness he hates Dick Grayson which is fine because he's right: Dick is just Captain Wonderbread or whatever he called him.
>>146430273It's a watered-down Spider-Man with terrible dialogue. I didn't read the non-Jordan parts.
>>146425074Should have started a new thread.
>>146429956>He's alive but in constant pain. Our machines hold it off as best they can while we decide what to do with him.>Our machines hold it off>itOnly a complete fucking mong with no reading comprehension would think "it" is death. Fuck you, fuck your parents, fuck your entire local education system and the government that runs it. Fuck your kindergarten teacher.
>>146430118He's really not that good of a writer.
>>146433284He's better than most. I prefer him to writers like Waid or Johns.
>>146433516He's better than Waid, but Johns has way more hits with fewer misses. He's certainly never written anything as bad as Morrison. I'd rather read The Avengers again than touch Wonder Woman: Earth One.
>>146433650>He's certainly never written anything as bad as Morrison.Nothing as good as Morrison either, which is what I care more about.
>>146415186cool costume
>>146429957Sideways is held up entirely by Rocafort's sexy people. Not even Rocafort's art in general because his paneling is ass and he wastes tons of space. Didio isn't a good writer.
>>146433650lol
>>146433284>>146433650Bullshit.
>>146415041From what I can remember from Rebirth, Prieststroke, Tomasi Superman and Nightwing is what I enjoyed
>>146435301>he wastes tons of spaceDoesn't matter. It looks cool, and that's way more important. Agree about the shit writing, though.
>>146425074Titans #17
>>146437397Ugh, they went back to the shitty bulky tacticool costume. Rebirth era was the best.
>>146427813>S-sure bud.It’s funny that people claim Red Hood Rebirth is good, yet I never see anyone discussing the actual story.
>>146437419Nah, hate hax0r costumes like that.
>>146437397Pete Woods wasn't an out of this world artist but what the fuck happened to it? His short JL stint from like 5 years ago wasn't this bad.
>>146437397>doing a Church of Blood arc, Evi Raven/Trigon arc, and a Deathstroke arc with in the first 18 issuesIs this a new record??
>>146437397>>146438298dc should just kill the franchise already if these and facing random c listers is the only thing dc is willing to do with themit's beyond parody
>>146437397How is Layman's run somehow worse than Taylor's?
>>146438320Agreed.
>>146439041Is it really?
Wow.
>>146437419It makes sense, though. The artist just sucks.
>>146415041Multiversity is better.
>>146442214>forcing shitty drama and team infighting>worse art>some of the voices are very off, mostly Raven and Gar At least I could believe Taylor’s versions were friends
>>146446176Umm Priest is black so by default, his comics are betterTry not being a racist??
>>146437487It's almost like... you're just shitposting. how about not being a pussy and saying why it's shit then.
>>146437397they're giving slade his batman arkham origins costume? what an odd choice lol
>>146447663The writing was inconsistent, the character arcs went nowhere, and the entire story felt like it was pandering to an audience that didn’t care about Jason’s actual history or growth. The story forced emotional connections that weren’t earned, and by the end, the characters felt like they had regressed rather than grown.
>>146447611First of all, watch your mouth. Morrison is a brave enby. Try not being transphobic.
>>146447820Why? It looks cool.
>>146415041It started off interesting, but got stupid once Superman and Batman came out.
>>146415041>read Priest book>white woman blacked in the first issueLiterally every single time. Panther, this, Quantum & Woody, the man inserts it everywhere. Anyway, that aside, it started off pretty promising, but it got continually worse. Dr. Villain or whatever running around like a grey Hulk with a ripped old Deathstroke costume, all the Titans tie-ins, Priest's retarded story of Slade maybe being Damian's dad that dragged on for what seemed like years, it just continually got worse and worse. It had some neat ideas and moments, but they were few and far between amidst a general slog.
