Who fucking liked Amazons Attack?

Almost all of those stories were universally despised.

Also here's a real link if you're not an autist who denies a fucking page view for an article that someone put time into writing just because you're omni-triggered about politics:

cbr.com/overrated-dc-stories-from-2000s/amp/

Hey, CBR guy, fuck you.

About five of those are decent and everyone has always known the rest are shit.

The only thing on this list that ANYONE likes is Obsidian Age, which is good because of the characterization and story more than the plot itself.

You'd have to be the most drooling retarded kind of fanboy who eats up anything Marvel/DC tell you to to like anything else on that list, so I'm really not sure who this author is trying to reach with this shitty article.

Eat shit.

And finally another story no one liked and is universally agreed upon to be the weakest part of 52.

Awful, horrible, utterly nonsensical list. So, par of the course for CBR.

>Truth or Dare

I honestly forgot this ever happened.

I did, at least when it was storytimed once on Sup Forums.

The battles were awesome, the concept unsettling, and the politics involved crazy and interesting. I'm still not too sure of Hippolatta's problem, and why they couldn't just talk it out instead of punching each other, and why Batman didn't just stop Circe when she was weak, nor did I like the stupid ending with Granny Goodness, and the mindless killing over all people and not just men by the Amazons was a little stupid, most of the Amazons were kind of out of character, and Athena's moral lesson at the end was convoluted and unrealistic considering she's the Goddess of Wisdom, even if the point of it was to show the Greek Gods' propensity to play games with the mortals while sitting on moral high-horses and their complete disconnect with the mortal realm, and Supergirl and Wondergirl's reluctant and half-hearted act of naive treason was brain-dead writing; otherwise, I honestly think it was pretty good.

I didn't think I'd list a lot of weird things wrong with it, but overall I think the sets were good, the concept great, and the story thoroughly enjoyable. I don't know why people give it so much hate.

My list was unintentional. I genuinely believe it's a pretty good story. Why do people hate it so much? It's not perfect, but neither is anything Alan Moore writes.

>cbr trys to post shitty comics and act like people thought they were good

>no one falls for it

This site should just shut down.

Someone archive this

Got you senpai
archive.is/dz1Gm

Yeah, I loved Thy Kingdom Come.

>>Truth or Dare
>>Between Dark & Dawn

What were these? I don't even remember them.

>Hating Thy Kingdom Come

Fuck off. It was a great climax to John's JSA run. It was great seeing the young and old JSA divide and then come back together. They had a great brawl against Gog with some great moments like Citizen Steel knocking him off balance. KC Superman was a great character and had some great moments with the cast.

Thy Kingdom Come was good.

Truth or Dare
>The two-part Flash/Wonder Woman crossover was one of the numerous tie-ins to Villains United. In this story, Diana’s longtime adversary Cheetah (Barbara Minerva) tried to recruit Flash’s deadliest foe, Zoom (Hunter Zolomon), into the Secret Society of Super Villains. The vicious cat-themed villain wanted the wicked speedster to teach her how to increase her speed. “Truth or Dare” showcased some incredible moments such as Cheetah facing off against Wally West and Zoom tackling the blind Amazon Princess.
>However, this two-parter featured the shocking murder of former Golden Age Cheetah: Ms. Priscilla Rich, which was glossed over as the Amazon Princess did not spend enough time remembering her fallen adversary. “Truth or Dare” also missed the opportunity of Wally and Diana discussing their personal lives, because outside of JLA, they hardly spent time together and it would have been interesting to have them reflect about overcoming tragedy.
Between Dark and Dawn
>Under Gail Simone’s guidance, Birds of Prey became one of DC’s fan-favorite popular team books of the mid-2000s. Readers flocked to the comic to see Oracle, Black Canary and the Huntress’ adventures unfolded by a rotating team of excellent artists. “Between Dark & Dawn” showcased the Birds of Prey going up against a foe that was totally out of their element: Brainiac!
>He brainwashed Barbara Gordon and temporarily freed her from her paralysis. Under the android’s control, Oracle nearly defeated Black Canary and the Huntress until Dinah had to remind the former Batgirl who she was. “Between Dark & Dawn’s” major flaw is that Barbara defeated Brainiac, who is one of Superman’s deadliest adversaries, with ease. Another turn-off was that Barbara was temporarily able to use her body and it drove the wrong message to people who have paralysis and hope to walk again.
The reasons for why Obsidian age suck as well. "waah, OC's, waah"

You're wrong guys.
These stories actually were well-received and highly regarded...
...by CBR shill shit site reviewers.

Truth or Dare I remembered people talking up back when it was out, to the point people were paying more than $10 for those issues. Same with Rann/Thanagar War at first. But I think that was mainly because of the buildup hype for Infinite Crisis. Once that was over everyone promptly forgot about those comics.

Bruce Wayne Murderer/Fugitive is one of those arcs that make me think anyone saying the Brubaker era was better than Morrison's, Snyder's, or King's (at least, at the moment) runs is probably looking back at the Brubaker era with nostalgia goggles.

Honestly Obsidian Age and Thy Kingdom Come shouldn't be on the list.

Here's the entire thing for those who don't want to even click the archive. Most of the reasons are crap.

15. Countdown/CtFC
>Following the success of DC’s first weekly maxi-series, 52, the DC Comics editorial team assigned a group of writers and artists to countdown to a major event which turned out to be “Final Crisis”. Starting with issue 51, Countdown focused on the adventures of several popular heroes and villains and how their actions lead to the Grant Morrison-penned event.
>Characters such as Mary Marvel, Pied Piper and Trickster benefited from the series as it improved their profiles amongst the fan base. But, at times, Countdown felt like it dragged on and had several story elements that were not necessary to the main narrative. Also, what polarized Countdown was the uneven quality of both writing and art duties. While 52 remains well loved and had elements of this massive story that is still a part of the DC Universe, Countdown was swept under the rug.

14. BATTLE FOR THE COWL
>Darkseid “killed” Batman at the end of Final Crisis’ sixth issue. With Bruce Wayne “deceased,” the primary concern amongst the Robins was who was going to inherit the cowl. As a new Black Mask corned Gotham City’s criminal underworld, Jason Todd became a deadly Batman branding his harsh form of justice on criminals and members of the Caped Crusaders’ family.
>This lead to an intense battle between Jason Todd and Dick Grayson. While Todd eventually retreated and reclaimed the title of Red Hood, Nightwing became Batman once again. Battle for the Cowl was a very short mini-series let many fans down for several reasons. First, the mini-series did show the heroes confront Black Mask and his new army. Secondly, Battle for the Cowl also marked a demotion for Tim Drake, which drew the ire of countless Batman fans.

>13. AMAZONS ATTACK!

>One story that spun out of Countdown to Final Crisis was the six-part mini-series: Amazons Attack! At the end of Infinite Crisis, the Amazons disappeared from the realm leaving Wonder Woman to represent Themyscira all by herself. However, when the US Government captured Diana, Circe manipulated the Amazons (including a resurrected Queen Hippolyta) into invading Washington, D.C.
>Near the end of the mini-series, Wonder Woman ends Circe’s hold on her sisters, but Athena punishes Wonder Woman’s mother and the Amazons by taking away their powers. While the once-promising mini-series grabbed our attention in the 2000s, readers may see numerous flaws. Outside forces could manipulate the headstrong Queen Hippolyta and the Amazons. Secondly, the reveal of Granny Goodness masquerading as Athena offended several longtime fans. Thirdly, the story dragged titles such as Catwoman, Supergirl and Teen Titans into this messy tale causing fans to abandon ship.
See for Truth or Dare
11. OUR WORLDS AT WAR

>During the summer of 2001, the DC Universe faced a threat that even dwarfed the Anti-Monitor. Imperiex Prime was a destroyer of galaxies and set his sight on the DC Universe. In addition to this massive threat, Brainiac-13 also decided to rear his ugly head and chose to align with Imperiex Prime. For the first time since Crisis on Infinite Earths, DC’s greatest heroes, and villains teamed up to save all of creation from being wiped away in a new big bang.
>While Our Worlds at War featured all-star creative teams, there were some questionable storytelling elements. In Adventures of Superman #596, Luthor’s twin Lex Towers suffered from a 9-11 like attack and the issue was published one day after the World Trade Center fell. Another creepy element was Imperiex’s attack on Smallville. These two fictional attacks hit too close to home for most readers.
Dc didn't predict 9/11, therefore bad

I like how they barely even talk about critical reception, as if they know nobody actually liked these stories and are nowhere near "overrated".

10. THE OBSIDIAN AGE

>Throughout the first part of the 2000s, the JLA was DC’s top superhero team. With impeccable team line-ups and rotating powerhouse creative teams, JLA delivered memorable storylines. From September 2002 to February 2003, the JLA went on its wildest (and longest) adventure yet. The team traveled throughout time in search of Aquaman, who went MIA during the “Our Worlds at War” crossover.
>There were several things wrong with “The Obsidian Age.” First of all, the story arc dragged out way too long. Secondly, the story’s antagonist, Gamemnae, was not as threatening or memorable like Prometheus, Queen of Fables, or Starro. Thirdly, we saw fan-favorite members such as Aquaman, Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner) and Martian Manhunter depart, and questionable heroes such as Faith and Manitou Raven join the team.
See above for Dark and Dawn

8. BRUCE WAYNE: MURDERER?/ BRUCE WAYNE: FUGITIVE

>The Dark Knight’s alter-ego found himself on the wrong side of the law in the year-long 2002 storyline: “Bruce Wayne: Murderer” and “Bruce Wayne: Fugitive.” An unknown assassin framed Gotham’s favorite son for the death of former love interest Vesper Fairchild. While the Caped Crusader and his bodyguard, Sasha Bordeaux, rotted in prison, it was up to the Batman Family to clear their mentor’s name.
This storyline is on this list for several reasons. >First, the Batman Family has the unquestionable trust of their mentor. This storyline saw several vital allies such as Nightwing and Oracle question if the Dark Knight committed murder. Secondly, David Cain was revealed to be the assassin who was ordered under then-President Lex Luthor to frame Wayne. Finally, the story ran for 39 issues, which burnt a hole on reader’s wallets.

7. THY KINGDOM COME

>Fans have begged for a follow-up to the classic Elseworlds tale, Kingdom Come, for years. Future DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns and Kingdom Come co-author Alex Ross brought several elements of the Kingdom Come universe to the Justice Society of America in an epic tale that took places throughout 14 individual issues, an annual, and three stand-alone specials.
>The “sequel” was a grandiose story that satisfied some fans and brought Earth-22 Superman into the DCU and reunited Power Girl with her friends on Earth-Two. But, “Thy Kingdom Come” also divided the team and introduced the omnipotent Gog as a one-note villain and a new and brattier Earth-Two version of Power Girl. Also, fans had to shell out nearly $60 to purchase all 18 issues!

6. JOKER’S LAST LAUGH

>It is unethical for doctors to lie to patients, but in the DC Universe…it is never a good idea to lie to The Joker! In Joker’s Last Laugh, a doctor faked diagnosed the Clown Prince of Crime with a terminal brain tumor. To make sure that he left a legacy, The Joker decided to transform almost every primary DC villain in a psychotic “Jokerized” villain of themselves.
>These villains caused so much chaos around the DC Universe that even the Batman Family were about to break their solemn vow of no killing. The event had so much potential as it crossed over into almost every title. But what put Joker’s Last Laugh on this list was that the mini-series published an issue every week with no rest and it did not give fans enough time to absorb the story.

5. BATMAN: GOTHAM UNDERGROUND

>Batman: Gotham Underground was a nine-issue mini-series that tied into both Salvation Run and Countdown/Countdown to Final Crisis. This storyline focused on how many of DC’s deadliest crime bosses and organizations including Great White Shark, Intergang and Tobias Whale trying to become the next Black Mask. Fans also learned that Penguin felt threatened by these mob bosses and went to great lengths to protect his empire by aligning with Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad.
In return for immunity, Penguin betrayed his fellow criminals by handing them over to Waller, who sent them to the prison planet. >Also, fans got to see the return of Spoiler and were introduced to a new Vigilante. Batman: Gotham Underground had incredible artwork, but at the same time there were no long-term repercussions that the Batman books felt from this story.

4. SALVATION RUN

>“Salvation Run” is DC’s version of Survivor and Civil War. From November 2007 to June 2008, Amanda Waller and her Suicide Squad captured and transported some of DC’s greatest villains to a peaceful planet. Little did they know that Amanda Waller played right into Desaad’s hands as the planet was revealed to be the training grounds for the New Gods of Apokolips.
>Making matters worse, The Joker and Lex Luthor divided the villains into two groups as they warred to be the villains’ main leader. While the story was strong, the shoddy artwork devalued the mini-series. Also, Salvation Run also damaged Catwoman’s character in readers’ eyes as she betrayed her Outsiders teammate, Martian Manhunter, as she ratted him out to the villains. This decision led to Martian Manhunter’s shocking death in the primary issue of Final Crisis.

The mainline Battle for the Cowl was bad but it had some pretty cool tie-ins. I remember the Arkham Asylum issue was tight.

On a semi-related note; what do people think about Blackest Night (and I guess Brightest Day as well)? I remember how hyped everyone was when it was coming out, but looking back on it I don't find it nearly as enjoyable as Sinestro Corps War and the ending was kind of lame.

Fucking formatting

3. RUIN REVEALED

>Before Infinite Crisis shook up the DC Universe, the Man of Steel faced a very dangerous adversary throughout the mid-2000s. His name was Ruin! The villain’s mission was to “ruin” Superman’s life. >Throughout the last issues of Adventures of Superman, Ruin targeted his Superman’s loved ones including Lana Lang, nearly killed Mister Mxyptlk, and even framed Clark’s childhood friend (and former Vice President of the United States), Pete Ross, as being the villain.
At the end of “Ruin Revealed,” the villain’s true identity was longtime Superman Ally, Professor Emil Hamilton. Both Superman and longtime fans were caught off guard with this surprising development and were annoyed with the title’s creative team about destroying a strong supporting cast member. Professor Hamilton’s character assassination remains one of the dark moments in Superman’s lengthy history.
2. THE RANN/THANAGAR WAR

>Rann and Thanagar have had a vicious rivalry that at times almost lead to war between these two planets. Infinite Crisis tie-in >Rann/Thanagar War showcased the massive battle that not even Adam Strange, Hawkman, and Hawkgirl could handle alone. The whole story started when several Thangarians transported Rann to the Thangarian star system. Despite the trio’s best efforts, the two planets go to war with each other/ The massive war also dragged other heroes such as Captain Comet, two Green Lanterns, the Omega Men, and Shayera Thal into this battle.
>Eventually, readers eventually learned that the entire war was created at the behest of Earth-3’s Alexander Luthor, who ordered Superboy Prime to move the planets in Infinite Crisis to bring back the DC Multiverse. The story was too slow, and it was hard to keep track of all the minor characters that starred in this tale.

Did you get paid for writing that list?

1. WORLD WAR III

>During the final weeks of 2006-07’s weekly series, 52, fans learned that Black Adam single-handedly caused World War III. The evil ruler of Kahndaq wanted revenge on the Four Horsemen who killed his family and wiped out his country. The enraged Black Adam nearly slaughtered the entire nation of Bialya and destroyed countless cities around the world before the DC heroes could stop him. “World War III” was filled with numerous annoyances.
>Two creative teams were tasked to create this story which led to uneven artwork and storytelling gaps. Instead of focusing on the main story of Black Adam versus Martian Manhunter and the rest of the world, the writers spent several panels plugging about the actions that Donna Troy, Harvey Dent, the Justice Society of America and Supergirl took to bring about their “One Year Later” fates.
I liked the Secret Six "tie-in" to that, mostly because it wasn't related to the story at all

Blackest Night was fine. Of course it's not as good as SCW, because that's one of the best events they've ever done. Brightest Day meanwhile was another poor attempt at emulating 52.

Blackest Night sucked. They killed off so many characters so pointlessly.

>Putting WW3 on the top

It was the weakest part of the Fifty-Two storyline but I fail to see how it was any worse than Amazons Attack or fuck, Countdown to Final Crisis.

None of those are great what the fuck are they smoking?
Except Thy Kingdom Come, that's better than Kingdom Come.

Johns repeats himself thematically (menace from within the super hero community is in everything, and it looks like Doomsday clock is more of the same) I like everything by Johns I read less than what I read before. I though IC was tits; enjoyed SCW, found JSA unreadably boring and so on.

Interesting, thank you Anons. I'm not really close with the public consensus on story arcs (I don't really have many friends who read/are big into comics so I just read them myself and don't interact too much within the comic community) so it's always interesting to hear what people think about certain arcs.

>Let me summarize the story, then let me name you 3 flaws about it.

That's a terrible article. No critical thinking, no research beside a look at Wikipedia, nothing. You can't get anything out of that.

I'm legitimately offended to know that someone probably got paid for that.

CBR only shills Marvel, though

CBR lists are in no particular order, usually

editors might even rearrange entries before publication

>anyone at CBR
>capable of thinking
The one time I went to their forums, those retards couldn't understand a plot point chewed out for them in the fucking comic. Never again.

if it makes you feel better, CBR listicle writers get paid almost literal peanuts

What comic?

Uncanny X-Force.

Eat dick CBR faggot

>Countdown
Stopped reading there. Countdown was shit and I'm sure the rest of the list is the same way.

Fuck off shill

"15 stories that are mostly batshit and crossovers you didn't give a fuck about to begin with that are like, way worse than they were the first time we read their wikipedia articles"

>I'm not really close with the public consensus on story arcs
neither is Sup Forums and you should NEVER take someone elses taste to inform your own

I have literally never heard of any of these except Battle for the Cowl and Thy Kingdom Come, so I'm going to assume that no one actually remembers them fondly, if at all.

I don't remember Between Dark & Dawn, Thy Kingdom Come, Joker's Last Laugh, Gotham Underground or Ruin at all.

There's way worse worse stories from that era of DC anyway, chief among them being Blackest Night, Flash Rebirth and Infinite Crisis (and was it Countdown to Infinite Crisis that killed Ted?).

Go eat a bag of dicks shill cuck.

Did Cucka ever use Sasha in Wonder Woman? I swear he's the only person who liked that character; granted he created her but I seriously do not think another writer has ever used her.

I actually have a bit of a soft spot for Salvation Run....

She appeared in his rebirth WW run, but I think it was just a robot. I haven't finished the run yet, so maybe she actually reappears later.

Blackest Night is Johns at his worst IMO. Shocking moments for the sake of shocking moments that have no payoff and are quickly deflated. Remember how big a deal the Black Lanterns were? Sorry, scene filler after issue 1. Oh shit, all of these dead-alive heroes are Black Lanterns including Superman... wait, nevermind, more scene filler. Look at all these characters with rings, Scarecrow with a yellow ring hell yeah? Wait, nothing happens with that. There's pointless character deaths, including Gehenna's which is honestly one of the most vile I've ever seen and not in an enjoyable way; not even a WIR type but watching a 17-year-old girl with a child-like mentality get turned into salt and then her corpse getting licked/violated by Dr. Rape was straight garbage.

Thank you, I love triggering people who get triggered by giving clicks.

To illustrate your point a bit

Blackest Night was GL’s weakest run since GL Rebirth. Still better than anything Marvel is shilling out these days.

>being this salty

Just to drive the point home, Gehenna was a teenage girl who was a clone of some old Firestorm villain. She had a childish personality/emotional state because of this.

I think in the Justice League tie-in (so Johns doesn't get the blame for this part outside of creating the environment for it to happen) Dr. Rape also fights the Justice League, sexually assaults Kimiyo and then threatens to rape her kids.

I seriously hate the post-Infinite Crisis up to like Flashpoint era of DC. It's pointlessly schlocky bullshit.

Samefag but actually I should change that to post-Identity Crisis. The entire thing is just grm and cynical nonsense.

As bad as all of these are, and they were all bad so I don't even see the fucking point, CBR a shit as usual, I really feel like Identity Crisis should be on this list.

I can't believe people are willing to forgive Didio for one of the worst DC eras ever desu, which is why I'm 100% sure the Didioposters are mostly Sup Forums memesters here to shill their companywar bullshit.

I'm surprised that Fugitive/Murder is on there. Seems like they tried to shy away from big name creators because yeah, while Amazons Attack is a bad story it's kind of bad in a vacuum. Amazons Attack was basically contained to itself and quickly forgotten, I think the biggest change it made was making Grace Choi a literal Amazon instead of just a physical one.

Identity Crisis is not only a bad story, as a mystery it's garbage with horrible character motivation from the villain and no real clues pointing to Jean Loring being the killer. Ruining Deathstroke by making him retardedly evil and stupidly overpowered. Setting the tone of the DCU for years. The only good thing that came out of it was Eclipso Jean Loring because she was hot who should've stuck around for far longer.

Didio seems to have learned his lesson for the most part but oh man were the 2000s a bad period for DC.

I didn't like the New52, but a lot of people seem to have nostalgia goggles on for what was going on in the DCU in the late 2000s

Identity Crisis would make a lot more sense than any of the ones listed, at least.

Didio has self awareness at least.

>bitchin'
This quip right makes it so much worse. It it feels like something written by a 13-year old fan of Linkin Park.

Does Johns have mental issues? Christ.

>Brubaker era
I like his non-Murder/Fugitive Batman comics better than Snyder's and Kings, that's for sure.
And it's not as theirs are much better than Murder/Fugitive anyway.

Blackest Night is awful, but as always, some of the tie-ins are ok.
Just more grimdark bullshit from Johns.

>Politics
Nigger what? CBR is just an all around shit website.

He's the guy that's gonna bring hope back to comics, after all those years Alan Moore brought nothing but grimdark!
God Bless Cereal Lord!

The past year has probably been the worst in the last 15 years of DC though.

Salvation Run was good though. And WW3 isn't nearly as shitty as you're making it out to be.

How the fuck is Blackest Night not #1 on this list?

>sexually assaults Kimiyo and then threatens to rape her kids.

No he doesn't. People only think that because she overloads her power to defeat him and has her clothes burnt away in the process.

>I think the biggest change it made was making Grace Choi a literal Amazon instead of just a physical one.

She was hinted being one after Infinite Crisis. And really it's not a surprise given how many of the others on the team had their own secrets.

>Moore can write a good natured, lighthearted story, multiple times even
>most of Johns' more lighthearted runs, like JSA, still feature edgy tryhard bullshit, with Stars and STRIPE being the only notable exception because it was based on his dead sister
>somehow, Johns is less "grimdark" than Moore
This stupid fucking meme will never not piss me off.

The current state of CBR is fucking disgusting

>No Tower of Babel
>No Identity Crisis
>No Blackest Night
>Mostly comics that were hated at release time and some actually good comics
>like 3 comics that actually fit the bill
Godawful list

good joke

...

Nice try but 0/10

...

You tried baiting. You failed.

...

...

Same, I think it's fun.

I disagree in that it's the worst, but it's definitely been a pretty bad year and nowhere near as good as Sup Forums is hyping it up to be, mostly because DC is publishing so many forgettable, mediocre comics. When something as milquetoast and inoffensive as Tomasi's Superman is held to such high regard, you know you're dealing with desperate people.

Now mind you, there are some good comics, like Deathstroke and New Super-Man (and even some from beyond DC's main line, like Astro City), but even those stories are held back by mediocre at best art.

As funny as you thinking Humphries writing your waifu and Jurgens publishing 3 issues/month is "based".

I can't stand Jurgens. At worst, Rebirth is mostly mediocre with a few gems. Post-Identity Crisis DC was almost entirely awful with a few gems.

>I disagree in that it's the worst
Gimme a different period then. We can look at solicitations if you want. Thing is, there were always bad comics being published but at least before you still had exceptional comics while now you just have a few good ones in a sea of shit and mediocre.

>not giving Humphries a Krypto the Superdog ongoing
What a missed opportunity.

I was expecting something like Blackest Night or Forever Evil or Court of Owls. Aka stuff actually deemed popular and then explains why they really weren't that good. But Amazons Attack? Countdown? Really?

>Our Worlds at War
>No one liked it.
Our Worlds at War was a fine story. It’s how DC would handle “what if Brainiac teamed up with Galactus.” Had a decent amount of iconic Superman moments.
