Hoping For Better Days In DC












It seems that once again my beloved DC universe is in a bit of a slump.

Brightest Day, while cool, is not the great story that Blackest Night was. Teen Titans has been too far out in concept to have any real intensity, and characterization has been put on the back burner. Much the same has been true of JSA All-stars. But with new creative teams for Justice Society Of America and Teen Titans in October, I'm willing to give them another shot, despite the fact that I just sold a bunch of recent issues from both series.

Titans features an almost entirely new cast of non-Titans. The book can hardly be about the Titans anymore, since they are now all in the Justice League. Unfortunate, since I can read Justice League for my Titans fix, but the REAL Justice League members never got their own new book when the Titans came and kicked them out.

The Flash and Green Lantern books are still great, I'm intrigued with Superman and Outsiders is still holding my interest. But hopefully we'll get to see better things coming from the DCU team books real soon.
