DC Universe: Rebirth, Omnibus
by Geoff Johns
Yo, this is a ton of shit. I mean, this took me awhile to read all this. So let’s just break down the ones I did read. If you see a few missing it’s probably because I skipped ‘em. I have no interest in Red Hood or Cyborg.
DC Universe: Rebirth - 3.5/5 – This is some solid shit. I mean it probably means more to people who’ve been reading DC for 10+ years, but it’s still great. The touching moments work and Wally is one of the best characters to be the protagonist here. He’s like “Barry, you fucked this shit up. But it’s worse than that.” And the big end reveal is both interesting and exciting. Also sick art. Yeah, overall very enjoyable even if I didn’t connect with everything.
The Flash: Rebirth - 3.5/5 – Well, it’s a more exciting start than New52 so that’s good. I have a lot of faith this will be special because I enjoy the writer’s other work a ton (go read Nailbiter, seriously) and Barry seems more “fun” in this than whatever boring piece of shit was in the New52.
Titans: Rebirth – 3/5 – I actually enjoyed this one a lot. Wally is awesome and seeing him connect with all the titans again was magical. I thought it was weird how they all just got together, in a random place, but screw it. Who can deny bros and hoes uniting in one.
Batman: Rebirth - 2/5 – Really boring for the most part. Love the art and some cool moments filled with confusing narrative at points and dull ending that didn’t make me jump for joy or make me want to pick up the next issue.
Aquaman: Rebirth - 2.5 – This was right in the middle. Enjoyed the art. Like the ending. But the rest of this one came off as kind of silly. Like we know Aquaman looks dumb but he’s still loved, come o now.
Green Arrow: Rebirth - 4.5/5 – I haven’t had good vibes about green arrow like this since I read Lemire’s run. Like holy fuck, this shit was great. The art was on point, some of the best in this whole book. I also loved the chemistry between Green Arrow and BC. I also like they get Ollie young but more attributes to his older self. Overall, kickass stuff.
Justice League: Rebirth – 1/5 – The fuck was this shit? Decent art but boring as fuck, disjointed, and a bad version of Avengers the movie.
Wonder Woman: Rebirth - 3/5 – This is what I’m talking about. Cool “What if, who am I, what’s this” type of storyline. Wonder Woman is now on my list of things to read, also great art.
Green Lanterns: Rebirth - 2.5 – Solid but kind of lacking that special something. I enjoyed it, and like the team up, and will read more because it seems like a perfect entry point, but wasn’t amazed.
Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps: Rebirth - 2.5 – Similar to the other, this one seems for the fans of the older Green Lantern stories…which I should get on.
Nightwing: Rebirth - 2/5 – Disappointed would be the word. I love Dick…wait…anyway I do. He’s great but this comic came off as bland. Just going over events, which sure a lot of these do, but in the most boring way. Also the art is just meh.
Superman: Rebirth - 3/5 – Easy to read, tribute to the old New52 superman by saying goodbye and giving him respect. More excited to see where this goes.
Blue Beetle: Rebirth - 1/5 – WOW I wanted to love this but fuck this. Not funny at all, boring, art is okay, everyone looks weird, ugh I wanted to love this goddamn it!
Supergirl: Rebirth - 1/5 – Boring…I mean real fucking boring…
Batman Beyond: Rebirth – 3.5 – Woot, least one I was looking forward to scored good (Fuck you nightwing and blue beetle) but it had a few issues, mainly too much recapping. Still, the ending left it up in the air of where it’s going and I like the new “family” angle it got going for it. Will read more.
So this is it. My big review. If I miss a few, fuck em. Now time to start cracking into their full length TPB. Woot woot! Go DC! 3/5 all together.
