Does anyone else feel that Multiversity is kinda cruel? It just makes me yearn for that kind of rejuvenation of classic characters rather than the way Nu52 did it. The Thunderworld issue feels this way most of all.

Wow, some of these new books that DC just announced actually sound pretty great. Gene Luen Yang is taking over Superman from Geoff Johns. That's fantastic.
Also, Garth Ennis and John McCrea reviving Section Eight from Hitman in their own series, haha.
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
Neato! That's just as exciting as his Section 8 announcement.
Edit: wrong thread but his Marvel announcement is totally jazz too!
I didn't get to the comics shop for a couple of weeks, so I just read Ultra Comics last night.
Holy shit.

I was hoping it was gonna be the next Superman: Beyond in terms of Morrison/Mahnke mind meltdown. It was great, but my favorite is still the Marcus To kid stuff.Quoting number8 (view post)
So this is officially confirmed now, but it's with Brian Azzarello, not Scott Snyder. They still haven't announced the artists.Quoting number8 (view post)
The title is:

Azzarello's definitely the better choice, though I'd've preferred a straight-up Miller-penned script. Snyder's verboseness and love for exposition would've killed it.

Miller's style is to overwrite himself, though. He and Azz are such different styles of writers. I think it's gonna be interesting to have a Miller book be written by someone who's known for pithy dialogue and uses little to no narration.

Multiversity #2 is hysterical. The last page is especially great.
Yep.Quoting Sven (view post)

Fuck, I just realized that Morrison introduced [] in Multiversity #2.
That son of a bitch.

In case you haven't heard, DC will now have some pages split between story and ads, as opposed to having full page ads.
Greg Capullo has been fuming about it on twitter. I can't imagine a lot of their other artists are happy, either.
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
Chris Burnham was furious and tweeted photos from his comp copies, but DC made him take them down. Obviously, people saved his photos, though. They will look like this now:
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
That is shit.
The single issues are already arguably inferior to collected editions, and certainly more expensive, so this really just makes it so there's no good reason to ever buy a DC floppy.
Speaking of collected editions, how would this work for that? Would they just combine 2 half-pages as one full page in the collections (assuming they were spaced properly enough to do that), or just leave a big blank spot at the bottom? This is just a really bizarre decision on their part...Quoting sevenarts (view post)
The artists didn't draw the pages this way. DC had people just photoshop it. They just told creators to keep the ads in mind and not make it impossible to do, but still break their stories to work in normal pages because in trade and digital, the pages are untouched.Quoting TGM (view post)

This wont last long. Terrible terrible idea.

I suppose we can change the name of this thread to something else.
All-Star Section Eight is the greatest comic of all time.
Just came in here to post this EXACT message. Good job, September Sven. But seriously guys, if you haven't taken the plunge, please do. All Star Section Eight is tremendously special. Pun kind of intended.Quoting Sven (view post)
RIP New 52 2011-2016.
