So in Nightwing today, they bring back Risk, aka the Titan that had both his arms ripped off by Superboy Prime in past events only to have him killed off by The Rising
We also learn Jon's group the Truth are bankrolled by Dick |

I am wondering if the success of one run and outcry from another is enforcing an interlocked story to suckered readers of the successful one onto the other. I will just go to a certain website if necessary, but does it read like a neccessary pick up of Son of Superman#9 or can I just continue from #89 to #90 without a problem?

DC 'merger' immanent?
https://bleedingcool.com/comics/goss...-be-announced/ Nightwing#89 ends on a cliffhanger that leads directly to Son of Superman#9 |

Crap. Well, my local comic shop owner who reads Nightwing as well suggested to skip it even if it finishes the story. We know Dick will help Jon overcome Luthor and understand that he cannot prevent all casualties.
Also, that gay kiss was unnecessary and it felt like it was there just to irritate us. Didn't know who any of the Son of Superman characters were, but I don't care. I appreciate the meta casual clothes showing up again. It is also notable that Barbara is referring to Haley as 'their' dog's instead of Dick's dog. The stuff contained to Nightwing itself was good,but I did not appreciate the stuff leaking in.

Yeah, it's weird how Babs is located elsewhere in the Batgirls book, yet is essentially co-habiting and starting a 'family' with Dick in Nightwing.

It's also weird that we get the vibes of both books within the pages of Nightwing#89. It tells me that I don't want to read Son of Superman. I wonder if connecting it Nightwing will actually help it with sales if people like my LCS owner telling me to skip it.It is so weird that it's the same writer! I mean my shop owner pointed me to the Justice League/Power Rangers comic I initially overlooked telling me its yet again Tom Taylor but it is good. A writer can have one title that he/she writes poorly consistently but not effect other works. Nightwing 89 seems to prove that. I guess Harvey Dent writes most of the time, but Two Face writes Son of Superman with an agenda.

Joshua Williamson interview I wonder what kind of Spider-Man writer he'd be? According to him, he grew up in the era of Peter and MJ's marriage.

Why is Justice League vs Legion of Superheroes being delayed? It would be on the fifth issue not the third by May. Also, is that Dick Grayson and pre-crisis Linda Danvers being featured in World's Finest#3? Also, since when was Ra's al Ghul 'killed off' again?

There are a few reasons
1. is the Comic Book Distribution has been screwed because of Covid 2. Paper Shortages. 3. The Artist Joe Quinones had Covid so they delayed it Its one of these 3 or all 3 combined

Titans Academy was an absolute joke this week, they reveal Red X was academy member Brick, who reveals to Dick he's their son, then another unidentified Rex X turns up revealing he manipulated Brick, then kills him and escapes. Brick isn't Dick's son after all.

Hopefully DC can find success without Bat titles and enforced unwanted diversity. DC is in bad shape. What are you all getting out of the back issue bin?

Daredevil's Chip Zdarksy and Jorge Jimenez are the new creative team on Batman. Looks like Tim Drake is getting focus again

I never heard of this Williamson before, but suddenly he is all over the place. Same with Tom Taylor, I am still trying to wrap my head around how he can be spitting liberal propaganda in Son of Superman while taking a conservative and fun approach with Nightwing,its hard to believe its the same person. Zdarksky, was JLA:The Last Ride and also Spider-Man:Life Story,right? I don't really look at creators names but look for appeal of the story and characters involved. However, Zdarksky's name stands out. I guess these three guys are the big pushers of the 2020s'?

Yes, both incredible reads. He's probably Marvel's best writer at the moment.

I keep hearing how Wally West is now the feature of The Flash title and how its a solid read, but no one is reading it because they are fearful of his portrayal after Heroes in Crisis. This is his chance and fans need to support the thing thry actually want. So I bought #770-#779 from my LCS today.

Grant Morrison reveals the plan for Clark in the aborted 5G launch was to be split into Superman Red/Superman Blue, only they would represent the political divide of lefts vs right, with Jon and Damien siding with the alt right.

We know now what we already knew just without official release that Tim Fox is Batman, Jon Kent is Superman, Yara Flor is Wonder Woman, Black Manta's son is Aquaman, and Far Sector is Green Lantern.
I can't even remember all their names they are so unimportant! So Hal Jordan is not a part of the current Justice League, but John Stewart is. Hal seems to be the survivor of the founding seven because Barry is M.I.A in the dark multiverse. That would be likely why the 'survivor' of the fight against the dark army is relating the event to Hal Jordan. Even with that narrative it would seem that Hal would rally others to lead the League on a rescue mission or depending on what they know a mission to stop the army. That would suggest that it would be the original sidekick generation, Dick, Wally, Donna, Garth, Roy and Kara and Barbara that should be called upon. One problem that DC has is it has three generations of sidekicks Dick, Tim, Damien for example. You cannot keep adding new generations when succession is already in place and don't want time to progress for the generation primarily focused on(Bruce/Clark.Dian,etc.). Leave the legacy alone it's already in place and then some and start anew on another hero.
