1 issue left for Doomsday Clock. Man, what a let down. Johns trying to do his best Moore made this feel forced and obviously unauthentic. The story felt uneventful. Bringing back the Comedian was dumb; dude came and went into oblivion.

Glad I didn’t read this as it happened. shyt took like 2 years to complete. I didn’t have any expectations for this and still felt disappointed.

X-Men #18 read quickly as fukk, very much a "part 1" issue. Would've been better to wait till #19 was out to read them both back to back

A lot of mutants getting powerups after XoS wonder why

New Mutants continues to be dope

I haven't bothered with the Wolverine book since like issue 2. Percy doesn't do much for me, I dropped X-Force a while ago too.

I really hope Hellions is doing well sells wise because it's the best X-title out there.

Stopped following comics after doom war. Whats the general consensus on what's DC doing now with this Future State? Is it any good? Also without any spoilers, any updates on Darkseid in canon? Last I read of him was in Justice League Odyssey and it wasn't that good.

A couple of the Future State books are OK but the majority of them are and can be skipped.

And honestly everything in DC is in flux until after Future State is over and Infinite Frontier begins.

DC created a new universe in this week's Generations Forged comic.
So the DCU is one gigantic Omniverse where all the Multiverses exist but there is also something called the Linearverse in there too that is basically a universe where DCU's entire history takes place in one singular timeline on one Earth.

Seems like an unnecessary added layer of nonsense to me.

 

[Mr. Negative]

the horrible thing about my opinion of DC's "LinearVerse" is that I should be mad.... but I don't even care.

"they just age slower". oh. okay.

Oh I need to do research in this infinite frontier. Thanks Dap+rep

I just don't understand why they are even bothering with it.
If a writer wanted to do a story about Batman from 1955 or something with The New Teen Titans set in 1983 then just make it an Elseworlds story.
