Images were slow to load on the @dc.com press release due to my location. Do those AI generated notifications come from the email service or the #DCComics images?

I suppose LOBO is also an option.

I guess heroes approaching god status is part of the #DCKO story. Makes sense. Haven't been keeping up with this #Aquaman series yet, but thought the use of #Hawkman was solid. Like that Adams is continuing to try to build a story with the Hawks.

Not a fan of the #CaptainAtom as a god approach, but I enjoyed the spotlight on the character & it worked in the context of this #DCKO story. Also dug the choosing of "forms" for him & #Superman, especially Monarch. I'll always have a soft spot for Exile Warworld Superman.

These Jorge Corona #DCKO #AllFightMonth covers beg the question: What #DCComics character(s) would you like to see Corona tackle?
My initial thought was something #JackKirby which brought me to the #NewGods. And that would be excellent.

If you're looking for a self contained (and therefore less costly) version of #DCKO, check out Tyler Kirkham's #FinalBoss from #ImageComics.

I get the willingness to buy tattered #comics off the spinner rack back when they cost 25 cents (I paid double even!), but not at 5 bucks a pop.

Besides AMAZING X-MEN & #XMen BOOK OF REVELATION, are there any other #AgeOfRevelation series that drive the main narrative? Or showcase #Philly and/or Revelation? Or may appeal to a #90s/ #AgeOfApocalypse fan?

Odd start to #XMen #AgeOfRevelation in that there really wasn't one. I think I'd recommend reading in this order rather than AoR #0 first.

X-Men #22 then Age of Revelation #0 then AoR Overture.

Yes! Finally got a copy of not only American history, but #Philadelphia #comics history! Absolute travesty that racism prevented this series and publisher from continuing. Glad they're being recognized in the present. Bring on the Lion Man stories!

The only thing less interesting to me than another Earth human #GreenLantern is canonizing a reason for so many Earth human Green Lanterns...

Tom Kalmaku to Hal Jordan: "The Guardian said this is why there are so many Lanterns from Earth[...]"

Not only is Tom Kalmaku not the last of the New Guardians, he's not even the most appropriate to be a conduit between The Green and the Green Lanterns. Floronic Man would have been a much more interesting choice. Also, not a family man like Tom.

There was a time in the #90s when a civil war between Lanterns and/or the Guardians was considered not a big enough story. Now it's been the crux of the majority of #GreenLantern stories of the last 20 years.

And I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, but bookending #Superman between two mature audience shows is a questionable launch strategy. Excluding a passionate portion of the audience from being able to immediately dive deeper into the canon.

I enjoyed #Peacemaker S2 overall. As I have the other new #DCU #DCStudios installments, but they're not building the kind of #DCUniverse that would get me excited for what's next.

I don't know why recent John Stewart series don't really build on his existing mythos. And take him away from the core #DCUniverse. I guess I appreciate the one page acknowledgement of the real Darkstars, but it was more of a burial than anything else.

That said, "a mutant land for mutants" is a pretty apt description for #Philadelphia with or without the X-Virus.

I'm coming to #AgeOfRevelation from the viewpoint of a long lapsed #XMen fan for the #AgeOfApocalypse nod. The Ramsey/Bei dynamic makes for an awkward reading experience. #AoR 0 seems to spoil X-Men #22 & AoR Overture?
