kyanitedThe good times are over. I think I may be turning my back on the DC-/Batverse, soon. If there even is a Batverse left. Batman's dead, the Canary downgraded to Ollies loyal sidekick, BoP will be disbanded in next week's final issue, Checkmate and Sasha Bordeaux are dead, too, Batwoman seems to have disappeared, also, and it just leaves The Question and Scandal Savage, whose stories I'm not much interested in without Batwoman resp. Knockout. And if Manhunter continues its current path, I'll ditch it, too.
There'll be a 3-issue "Oracle" miniseries starting next month, featuring a showdown between her and her arch-enemy Calculator. The solicitation says she'll be paying the "ultimate price", but whatever it is, I got a feeling I won't like it. Bye, bye DC.
There will only be Air and Top Ten left, and they're both not related the the DC-verse.
Comics I'll be watching out for are reduced to:
Echo (Abstract Studios)
Air (DC/Vertigo)
Top Ten (DC/Wildstorm)
Guardians of the Galaxy (Marvel)
[Secret Six (DC)]
[Oh, and Booster Gold, sort of a guilty pleasure. :)]
Picky as I am I don't like the new art of "Runaways", so even if it's written by Terry Moore, I won't read it.
And frankly, I lost track of the events in the DC-Verse, too. I always liked DC better than Marvel :P but Final Crisis got too big and confusing for a fan with limited time and money, sort of like Marvel's giant Civil War octopus with countless tie-ins and specials.
Meh. The good times are over.

Date: 2009-02-15 06:27 pm (UTC)I guess my point is that there were only a handful of characters/titles that I really liked and they all got dumped, killed or shoved to the background with in a few months.
I was hoping Batwomen would get a few own issues, as a mini series or special, but it looks like we'll have to continue searching for guest appearances in different titles, which is unsatisfying. At least Renee got some time in the spotlight.
If I search the DC website for batwoman, nothing but action figures come up. But hey, at least Renee and Kate come as a set (http://dccomics.com/dcdirect/?dcd=8782). ^____^
