I started reading dc comics at the beginning of the rebirth era, but I’ve recently been reading some New52 books and I have to say, while some books like Justice League, Batman, and Aquaman were great, the era overall was pretty messy. I know rebirth had flaws but at least it was trying to get dc back to what they truly represent hope and legacy, a lot of the books in New52 really tried to be dark and edgy and heavily focused on characters that worked in that position.
Theres more great than there is messy. DC and marvel i can argue were ALWAYS MESSY so thats a shite critique. Go ahead, make specific points about things sucking so i can correct and counter you with reality and facts about it. Im open to debate comicland about it too buti know they do not want to get bodied on this topic because they know they will
I read literally the entirety of New 52, and wow there were some real stinkers there. I still remember being super excited when Ra's Al Ghul entered the story in Red Hood and the Outlaws, just because everything that came before (story-wise and otherwise) sucked. Also, I heard someone say "who cares about Grifter" the other day and that basically sums up all of New 52. Who cares about Grifter.
I feel like Wildstorm should’ve just stayed as a different earth or universe, basically it should have just stayed as earth 50. Especially since I haven’t seen a single Wildstorm character since rebirth had started.
The 90s was just over saturated. Honestly I miss the special edition covers. They were fun. The four spider-man hologram covers on spider-man, amazing, web and spectacular were pretty cool. Comics were fun back then.
#New52 Had Lots of GREAT Comics as well though.. E.g. _Cornell's_ *DEMON KNIGHTS was SOLID* (An All-time DC Best). As was *DIAL H,* how CRaZy was that title.... A Cult Classic indeed. Fans of the run spoke loudly for Years- Demanding its own Omnibus! Which was eventually released. Also, • _Johns & Reis'_ *AQUAMAN* 1-13 & 0, Was the Real Powerful Sea King at his most - fan desired - Aryan God looking Finest! • *ALL STAR Western* • _Giffen & Didio's_ *OMAC* was Loads A Fun for like 10 Comics. %- ) • _Johns_ *JUSTICE LEAGUE* was Super E P I C !! As [was his] New 52 GREEN LANTERN rap-up. Finally coughing up the Indigo Tribe's Secrets from half A decade earlier in _Blackest Night._ • The _Forever Evil_ x-over was Incredible I thought, via the JLoA tie-in Origin ishs especially. Plus we finally got to see, just how sharp Black Manta's Legendary "Fishing Knives" really are.. • _James Robinson & Nicola Scott's_ *EARTH 2* which also had Noteworthy art (like New 52 Action Comics & Aquaman). This was A fun comic, up through like ish 18 & Annual 1. Before SJW Hack Tom "Taylor made" took over EARTH 2 & Destroyed the Title ((Forcing an unwanted & non-needed New Superman into A Continuity that was framed around Not having A Big 3), • *Batman-* _Snyder's OWLS_ storyline. Even though the book predominantly sucked Big Time after that. Outside of good art anyway (plus the Zer0 Year Interlude story and ishs 13-15 were Good). • _Syder's_ *SWAMP THING* 1-12 & 0, at some point ties in w/ New 52 ANIMAL MAN for the _Rot World_ x-over. I vehemently recommend both Vol.1's & said x-over trade.. _Morrison & Morales'_ *ACTION COMICS,* the art alone (1-19 & 0) is worth the price of admission IMO. The Run's been Recently re-collected as _Superman 'World against Superman'_ (minus both "Action Comics" & "New 52" on the cover). Plus You have the beloved _The Boy who Stole Superman's Cape_ story in this run. Sure there was straight garbage like Superman, Green Arrow, Firestorm & Static back than (2011-15). But I would put A selected 10 or 12 #New52 GN's up against any other dozen from any other DC or Marvel (Non Dark Reign) era.
Man seems bad for new 52. I started with Rebirth beginning, I'm glad I missed New 52 Era. I hope Rebirth was better than New 52 cause Flash was the best for me and I'm not a Flash fan
New 52 Flash is decent, it was my real introduction to him besides a few random issues I had from the 90s. It’s pretty fun and probably my 2nd favorite from that time frame after Batman. I also really liked Red Hood though so what do I know 😂.
All FLASH Comic book Readers Need to go Read & or start reading w/ the 2nd trade (of Vol.3) w/ Bart Allen in the Yellow Boots (( Who cares how it came to be, Pass on the earlier 1-6 story )). > Thus Read; FLASH 7-13 (vol.3) & The All Flash #1 onezie, collected in _Flash the Fastest man Alive Lightning in A Bottle._ That 8 comics story Leads directly into - FINAL CRISIS: _ROGUES REVENGE ......_ Which is A Really Fun ride when Read altogether. ROGUES REVENGE is A #MustHave GN, Because not only does that book collect the formentioned 3 ish FINAL CRISIS (Prologue) mini-series. But it also collects BONUS material- FLASH 182 (Vol.2) _'The Absolute Zer0 ICE COLD Origin of Cpt. Cold'._ *The Single Greatest FLASH comic ever!* Arguably the Best single modern DC COMIC E - V - E - R (it also has A noteworthy Bolland cover).. Anyhow, > ALL of which, rolls right into FLASH REBIRTH (The Johns & EVS original limited series). Barry's return.. Which than Segways into FLASH _Brightest Day_ 1-8 (essentially Flash Vol.4 // by Johns w/ Manapual & Kollins art) .. Ish 7, ergo -Reverse- FLASH 7 is the noteworthy self contained #MustRead Origin of _Eobard Thawne...._ Than in FLASH 8, Johns is at it again w/ the Self contained Origin of Cpt. Boomerang (Both Villains Return via Brightest Day the wake of Blackest Night). All of which leads into the massively successful FLASHPOINT (by Johns & Andy Kubert). Just Following _'Road to Flashpoint'_ of course // FLASH (Vol.4) 9-12 or 13. That story is definitely skipable. Although, The _FLASH Secret Origins 1_ comic, which came out somewhere right around the _Brightest Day FLASH_ (Vol.4) time table isn't skipable! It's A Solid Flash comic, that any & every Flash comic book fan should have in their collection. Thus in under 30 Flash Comics, one can read one of the Greatest over-arching saga's in DC History. As well as gaining A well rounded Flash Mythos over-standing. So when whoever reachs Williamson's 2016 _Flash Vol.6 (secondary) Rebirth_ volume- they can understand how they got there...... Especially w/ _The Button_ cross-over, and it's Reverse Flash aftermath etcetera etc. So, Go Get 5 GN's in total: __________________ • Flash, Fastest Man Alive _Lightning in A Bottle_ • FINAL CRISIS, _ROGUES Revenge_ • Flash _Rebirth_ (the Johns original) • Flash Secret Files & Origins (2010) • Flash _Brightest Day_ • Flashpoint ENJOY!
@@dkres82 New 52 Flash, C'mon Yo it's Horrible! Especially the First like 3 Years. It got better w/ the Venditti Annual. When Wally showed up. BUT IF YOU WANT THE SIMPLE FLASH Readers Modern (Johns) Saga in less than 30 comics, see my other comment in this thread. Read That (them comics) than you'll understand why so many HATE The Flash New 52 Manapual run..
I honestly don't understand the deal with this universe. Either they do very well, or they let you down. Look at Snyder's run : he makes two masterpieces with The Court of Owls and the city of Owls. Then a brilliant one with Death ofThe Family, but then his series became very mediocre with Zero year, graveyard shift and we have to wait until endgame to get back good just to get bored again
I don't know, man. New 52 wasn't great, but it wasn't sooo bad. It was normal. I like and even love some comics from new 52. It has awesome Animal man, masterpiece Wonder Woman, dope Batman, good Flash, Arrow, Aquaman, I vampire, justice league dark wasn't bad, awesome green lantern (still think it's the best thing about green lantern), swamp thing. I wouldn't say it's bad. Yeah, it has problems, especially for Titan's, batfamily (except batman), superman's family members. But as marvel now, it has good and bad stuff, as always.
The fact Lobo or awful crap that was either of superman new 52 books. Seriously Grant Morriosn action should be just on list for him running around in jeans and t-hsirt.
Hold on, Hold on, Hold on. Ethan Van Sciver, the man who has a fanatical fan base who pay him an exorbitant amount of money for his Cyber Frog comics, a man who constantly complains about wokeness. Who’s has fan who Stan for him every time he tweets anything, had low sales. That’s hilarious. Before anyone says anything about how much he’s made with Cyberfrog on Indigogo, I just want to remind them that it is a tier system. Which means it starts off at about 25 to 30 dollars a book and just goes up from there in price.
Maybe I should read some of these just so I can appreciate Aaron's trainwreck of an Avengers run better lol. Gail Simone was hardly randomly fired after one issue of Batgirl unless not returning phonecalls and answering emails from your boss for months is considered random reason for getting fired. According to Ethan she was a total mess to work with. She can thank the twittermaffia for ever getting a gig at DC again.

In your subjective opinion. The new 52 was brilliant and theres far more great than bad and yall dont wanna go there because you will get served up quite easily in a debate. Unless you wanna be the typical shop snob about it, but youre easily dealt with. You are one of those shop snobs that confuses their opinion for fact

new 52 had lots of bad comics, but the 1990's would love to have a word with you ComicIsland

How is Lobo not on here?
while i don't love lobo, that was yet another book i initially considered only to find 10 titles far worse
You should do best new 52 comics next! 😀
He did, here is the video ruclips.net/video/tiU9JEFb8hc/видео.html
thanks for sharing that link!
Haha oh right I think I watched the video before long ago 😅
6:17 what development?
26:40 Because he keeps getting hired? Archie got him on as the artist for the Mighty Crusaders.
Red hood and the outlaws was not that bad I picked up the omnibus for a really cheap price. And I liked it. It was a fun action packed series
Yeah Red Hood was fun the few issues I read.
The fact Lobo or awful crap that was either of superman new 52 books. Seriously Grant Morriosn action should be just on list for him running around in jeans and t-hsirt.
5:52 i do like starfire in red hood and the hautlaws
I make the worst comic stuff of all time, Z-Men
