Wow! The first Eisner award.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I went in 1986 with Fantagraphics. Drove Steve Rude and Heidi McDonald back to L.A. after.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
6 pages of JLA #1. They are not kidding about starting again.

And averaging 4 whole panels per page? Ha ha ha no.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Reading about the editorial plans for Superman handily banished any sadness I might have felt about missing out on the George Perez title.

Reboot non Lois/Clark. God, how unappealling.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
I know I'm falling right into the Outraged Fanboygirl caetgory, but I don't care: DC has pretty much given me no incentive to keep reading after the reboot.
Except for Blue Beetle, DAMN THEM. And even then, it might suck heartily. I guess I should go look for the solicit.

I will be continuing with Bat titles probationarily. Or whatever the word would be if I could speak English proper.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Wow. That was just... ew. So profoundly ew.
I didn't even think I was all that invested in these characters and their stories, but every fresh detail on every single reboot is making me realize how wrong I was--if I didn't actually care about them, this wouldn't be half so painful.

I'm willing to continue Batman and Red Robin, and I'm going to get Teen Titans #1 because I just have to know. And Blue Beetle. Oh, and I admit I'll get Batgirl #1 because I want to know what the deal is.
t edit Okay, yeah, that doesn't sound like "DC has given me no incentive." I admit it. I'm reboot-curious.
