- So Geoff Johns gives us DC Rebirth story - ten years of continuity has been altered by Dr Manhattan and all of sudden everything is reset and here we go.
It been almost 3 months and the original premise hasn't explained. Where is the Batman or 'kid' Flash (Wally West) investigating and bringing Dr Manhattan to the story lines. So far I have enjoyed 90% of the rebirth titles. I think the bi-monthly schedule is getting old. 4 months is about all I can handle $$ wise. I hope DC isn't planning on doing a year of bi-monthly with variants for each issue. I've already told my local shop that I will be only taking the variants until the end of October. I'm hoping Civil War will be done and I can start adding some Marvel to my list. But I committed to the variants for October, next Previews I will cut down to 1 copy of the DC, either regular or variant. I like seeing the the Neal Adams Green Arrow covers.
I do wish that Diamond would give sales numbers break down for each issue. They know exactly how many regular and variant issues are ordered and shipped, so why not tell us, instead they just print the combined total.
Geoff Johns get on with it and get the story rolling. I'm not waiting a year for you explain how and why 10 years were stripped away.

- I have to say that I don't know what's going on reading many of the Rebirth titles.

- I currently have my biggest pull list ever with Rebirth titles being the majority (Batman, All-Star Batman, Detective, Action, Superman, Flash, Justice League and Nightwing). I for the most part like the stories so far and the way the characters have been portrayed. I don't like the twice a month format. It gets very pricey (especially adding in the exchange rate for us Canadians) and I barely have the time to keep up on my reading. I'm going to wait until the end of the second arcs to start dropping titles (though Batman and Flash are going to get picked up not matter what). I really like the story in All-Star batman but I'm really not digging the main story's art. Might just be personal taste but it seems like there's way too much "aggressive" shading.
I have to agree though I have no idea what's going on in the overall arc. There's potential with Dr. Manhattan being the big bad. He just seems too over powered to write a convincing story about.
