This is fucking garbage. I will not insult the creators, but if I was responsible for this, I would feel ashamed. I don't know if it's the new DCU as a whole or just the parts I'm interested in, but at every turn, it seems like they demonstrate a desire to bring back the worst, most indulgent mock-pathos of the 90's back into the modern era. At this point, they've now fucked around with and dragged some of my most loved characters through the mud to the extent that I may genuinely never pick up another DC comic.

Great work, guys. Thanks. By all means, keep blowing them up, and turning them into killers, and making the world hate them, and having them attack their friends, and terrify their family, and lose any semblance of adult relationships so nobody thinks they're 'un-hip'. There's either an appetite for this, or for the hype that has accompanied it. Me, though? I'm done. I've been reading comics since I first learned to read, and for the first time I can remember, I no longer give a damn about a single thing in the DC line. I guess this was the last straw. You broke me, guys. Congratulations.

	Ugh, sorry for venting so emotionally. I'm just so terribly fed up with all this death and misery, and I loved these characters. Why does it have to keep being so damned awful all the time? Misery is not the extent of drama. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 5 comments) (Show 5 comments)

No need to be sorry. I for one quite agree. DC keeps pushing its readers to accept more darkness and more death and more angst and gives nothing in return. Even in a title called "Brightest Day" there was NOTHING "bright" in it. At least Marvel does put out some fun books and characters still but DC....even the JLI and Earth-2 are all about how miserable it is to be a hero and what a crapsack world it is. Which is not the way to attract readers (heck, even Spider-Man has a sense of humor about it - the DC heroes got nothing in this reboot).

Batgirl seems really fun, as does Birds Of Prey, and the Huntress (sex trafficing aside) was a fun read. and surprising, Teen Titans, despite being on the run from a evil shadow government organization is very funny... though, i suppose you are right, none of these are "pure enjoyment" books, even Huntress has the sex trafficing theme that isn't exactly light...

I wanted to like Batgirl, but as a disabled person, the maudlin retreading of Babs story was just pushing way too many buttons for me. It was literally damaging to good mental health, so that had to be tabled for a while. I will admit, with a cooler temper now, the end of Huntress did look actually fun and amazing - but it's leading in to the super dark and depressing Earth 2 stuff, so that's kind of tainted too.

well technically it's leading into World's Finest, Earth 2 is how they got here. You could technically read Huntress then World's finest and ignore Earth 2 except for what gets posted on here by Aeka (you know she will post anything relating to her :D

i for one will read it, with reservations (hoping it is not as bad as i think it might be)

I'd also classify OMAC, ACTION COMICS, and FLASH as fun books. And there's the upcoming SUPERMAN FAMILY, along with the rest of DC's kid's line. (No, they're not in continuity, but so what? Nobody should let a non-issue like that get in the way of enjoyable stories.)

Also, I could be off, since I haven't been reading the book, but hasn't JLI itself, up until the most recent issue, been another example of such a book? That's the impression I got from everything I've seen. The book seemed to be about fighting giant robots and banter between the diverse personalities that make up the team. Lots of fans talk about wanting more balance, but when they're the same folks operating under some comic book one-drop rule, where one issue of angst retroactively renders the previous half a year's issues the same, who exactly is the one who has a problem understanding balance?
