combiner1 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 After reading the book, it feels like Snyder is trying to re-write some origin story, like Hawkman/Hawkgirl, Metal men, Red Tornado, etc..... The book feels more like a Geoff Johns' writing than Snyder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastballspecial Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I like the concept, but the books are $5 a pop I will pass. Even pre-order will be $3 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptaenRon Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I didn't read The Forge or The Casting. I did like this book, although I was clearly missing some pertinent information. Being new to comics I had no idea who they were dropping on the last page. I want to subscribe to this but the last page was VERY intimidating at $4 a pop or more...!

aerischan Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 This might be better: https://twitter.com/Ssnyder1835/status/883460752698486784 1 hour ago, Martin Sinescu said: That's utter nonsense unless their goal is to drag their readers down into an abyss of confusion and poverty with little substantive payoff, at which point: Mission Accomplished! also: Batman The Murder Machine! After Secret Empire (75 books, $300+ retail), Metal (25 books, ~$100 retail) is looking decidedly tame. I'm not planning on getting everything, though and having most of the tie-ins at $2.99 does help a bit. And here's the cover for Batman: The Murder Machine.

Tnexus Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 As I understand it, the core books are self contained, and the rest just fill in backstory and side arcs. JTLarsen and CaptaenRon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin76 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Wait for the trade. This is just to get people to buy more single books. Too many variants, This series will be in the dollar bins in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punksdropdirtysrh Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I was a bit disappointed in the last page. It had been hyped as some big cliffhanger... and I'm just like... ok? Am I supposed to know who that guy is? Cant wait for the trade...my LCS would never forgive me so I'll keep it going and see what happens.

followtheleader Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Yikes, the series was terrible. Absolutely no substance. Just a Crisis by another name. Patrick Second Blight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punksdropdirtysrh Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Lots of hype for this series. In a way I feel like I’m supposed to like it...but it didn’t have too much of a Wow factor for me. The Dark Knights single issues were fun I’ll give it that. Definitely worth checking out. But as a whole...seemed forced and lacked real substance. Almost like the Justice League movie... I will pick it up in collected format...even if it’s just for the art and eventual nostalgia. Thinking about selling all my singles now. Been wondering what sort of value these might hold a year or so from now. Second Blight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second Blight Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Started out strong. Delays caused readers to abandon ship. The finale (#6) was a rush job that had some pretty mediocre writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortboxed Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I enjoyed the series. Grabbed every issue and tie-in. The Dark Knights single issue origin stories were the highlight. Overall I found it to be a fun read. Since it's been out for so long and now finished, I'll be re-reading the entire event altogether because lot of the details got lost in between the long gaps between issues.
