With DC Comics Rebirth event about to begin....I thought I'd start a Thread for those interested. It kicks off with an 80-page issue DC Universe Rebirth #1
May 25th. Price is only $2.99. Here's hoping DC gets back to what makes it great. ***POSSIBLE SPOILERS***

I have the first few months on order from DCBS. Should start getting them in July. Could not pass up $2.99 books for half off with their pre order bundles.

Rebirth was excellent-
Batman and Superman rebirth were pretty much let downs- I may give GreenArrow rebirth a shot as there has been some good buzz about it- |

What's this about? Is it changing continuity again like New 52 did?

Brief Rebirth rundown with SPOILERS!!!!!
...sort of? but in-continuity still... essentially Wally West manages to break through into the new52 U (he's been lost in the speedforce) but nobody remembers him so he keeps falling back out- he is aware of the previous universe as well as 10 missing years of time that nobody else knows about... Superman (over in the lois and Clark book) is the old DCU Superman and after the death of Nu52 Supes he will take over as Superman... There are other little changes that are happening as well (3 Jokers existing in the Universe is probably due to Wally trying to get back and they may be from alt DC timelines...) And in closing- Watchmen are in the DCU now and Doc Manahatten or Ozymandias may be responsible for the New52 |

Glad my DCU is partially coming back. Rebirth was awesome. I like the way, it is still the old DCU but the Nu52 took place. It brings me back into the fold I used to buy about 40 DC books a month but jumped off at Nu 52, except for the Earth 2 titles. Now I will probably pick back up the core titles. And back track full runs of the 52 titles. Hated stopping because I have complete runs of the core books going back to the 70's and 60's. Batman and Superman were especially painful. Now if marvel would just stop this "season" crap and restarting every two years and go back to original numbering or just not stop, again, I would be a happy fan again..alas new marvel now in the fall. So all new number ones again. Sorry ranting.
I am particularly looking forward to action and detective 1000 |

Yeah, the Rebirth issue was great -WTF, Watchmen playing in /with the main DCU? Batman #1 was a bit of a let down, but hopefully it gets better. BTW, who killed the New 52 Superman? Was it Dr. Manhattan or someone else?

Just got into my stack of Junes Rebirth books. Holy crap, way better than Marvel's mess. I have read most and really like the kick off. A "we screwed up but back to business" and they did not erase or hide the past few years. I will not spoil it but if you miss decent reads pick up the rebirth line.

*SPOILERS*
I LOVED DC Rebirth #1! Wally West is BAAAAACK! My favorite comics character is back. I had a feeling he was the one returning and glad he did. The scene where he and Barry hugged made me tear up. A very emotional book. Lots of neat things being set up. The Watchmen button at the end made me say " No waaay!" Dident expect that at all. But I like the idea of The Watchmen now in the DCU. I quit readin DC when new 52 came out. Irt just dident feel right. Having Dr Manhattan responsible for the mess that was new 52 is a cool idea. I have enjoyed all the Rebirth titles so far. My favorites have been Flash, Detective and Aquaman so far. Im gonna try out all the new titles for a few issues to see if I like em. Then Ill decide which to keep reading. This is the first time in years ive bought several monthly DC titles. Geoff Johns said he wanted to bring back the Love and Legacy to the DCU. Im on board! |

I am giving all titles a shot but I agree Aquaman was a good start as well as detective and all things Flash related. The only slow start that did not hook me right off the bat was Green Arrow. I am not quiting on one issue but it may take time to get going for me. I think the main pull is they were not origin or get to know issues but straight into what looks like decent story lines. Not forgetting or wiping clean but taking from there and making DC great again.
I also like the new approach of there is a threat but the hero does not look defeated before they start. Wonder Woman was a good read on that. There is something there and it follows through the whole issue but it is a mystery and not a whoa is me tale. I really liked the misleads up to the end. You read the story and each page gives a new object to project the mood of the issue on. I thought it was awesome and I have never read a strictly Wonder Woman story.
