So, how do people feel about the current storys in the DC Universe?
Im quite enjoying what i read and i want to give some series a new chance, Red hood and the outlaws, suicide squad, green arrow and so on.
Wonder Woman is a bit slow imo somehow, dont really know why i feel this way...but otherwise its good.
Detective Comics is quite nice with the whole premise.
Batmans current story with Bane is really good, its been a while since we had a nice bane story i think.
All Star Batman gets a bit better now, i wasnt a fan of it at the start but im getting there.
Superman i stopped at issue 11...but i realized that i miss is a bit so i will catch up.
Other than that i have to look up what currently is running and what is good according to some.

I was excited for Trinity because Ivy was supposed to be the villain but they've kind of squandered the chance to do something new and they've relied on the same old "longing mother" storyline which I'm frankly bored of for the character.
I wonder if sales are still good for DC at this point because I've heard a couple of people loosing interest.

That would interest me, too. Would be funny if Marvel overtakes Dc again. I´ve heard some people praising Rebirth and saying Marvel gets lower sales because of their "Social Justice agenda".

Im so behind on what Marvel does currentyl in the comics...so very far, i think early 2016 was the last marvel comic i read.
That reminds me that im in general very behind in terms of comics from all around, i need to start to get up to date again.
Setting aside TWD #163, the Top 10 regular comics books for February 2017 looks like this:
1. STAR WARS: DARTH MAUL #1 (Marvel)
2. BATMAN #16 (DC)
3. BATMAN #17 (DC)
4. JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #1 (DC)
5. SUPER SONS #1 (DC)
6. THE WALKING DEAD #164 (Image)
7. ALL-STAR BATMAN #7 (DC)
8. STAR WARS #28 (Marvel)
9. JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA: REBIRTH #1 (DC)
10. JUSTICE LEAGUE #14 (DC)
I haven't been keeping tabs on much of what Marvel's been up to comic wise but I've been reading Scarlet Witch and Elektra and I'm really impressed. Not to mention the 2016 Vision series which made me question my entire life.

Haven´t finished reading the Vision series, but I remember being very impressed by it. Tom King rather dissapointed me in Rebirth, though. His work on Batman isn´t nearly as good.
Johns believes – correctly so – that the core message of Watchmen was grossly misunderstood and manipulated for decades following its release. The comic, Johns believes, was a warning not to become disillusioned with the values that have defined DC from the beginning: justice, legacies, epic storytelling, love. Watchmen was not an instruction manual for writing contemporary hero comics.
Readers, and Johns himself, believe the creators of the ‘New 52’ comics, in part incorrectly inspired by what they thought was a manifesto in Watchmen, are to blame for the loss of many beloved storylines and distinctive tones across DC’s pantheon. The ‘New 52’, and the direction DC films have gone in lately, have homogenized DC’s characters as grim spectacles, punching up giant foes and not feeling anything in particular for their teammates. Johns, and DC, have made the stunning choice to embody that extra-textual threat in Dr. Manhattan, who will be the literal foe for Batman and the rest of DC’s heroes, moving forward. “I promise it’s not going to be Batman and company punching Dr. Manhattan a bunch of times. That’s not how you combat something like this,” Johns says, laughing.
