    It's written by Tom King, I don't hold out much hope of it being good.

    I'm kind of amazed that I'm reading three good DC comics right now: World's Finest, Shazam and Green Lantern. DC is up or down, they seem to go through cycles where they produce some good books, then the quality tapers off or crashes, and a few years later they get it right again. I hope the quality stays high in these books for a while at least.

    So Green Lantern got back on track after that controversial run with the new Lantern?

    It's a good first issue at least, enough to make me hopeful that the series will be far better than the last one, which I quit reading because it was so bad. Hal on Earth being Hal is something we've seen before, but it still works. There's still some of the story elements from the Thorne run, such as the United Planets running the Green Lantern Corps, but it's background at the moment. So we'll see how things go.

    Over in Shazam the main character is "the Captain", so they've moved back towards the original Captain Marvel name, even if they don't go all the way there. He really feels much more like the post-Crisis Captain Marvel than New 52 Shazam ever did, even though there are still modern elements to the story.

    Enjoyed Flash 800. First story is really fun and reminds me of why I like Wally so much. Think "almost got him" from BTAS but instead it's low level villains telling stories about why you shouldn't do crime in Central City.

    https://aiptcomics.com/2023/06/09/comics-birds-of-prey-team-dawn-of-dc/

    All week, writer Kelly Thompson has been revealing new details about her upcoming series Birds of Prey, which is part of the Dawn of DC initiative. Along with Leonardo Romero, Jordie Bellaire, and Clayton Cowles, the exciting new series is Thompson’s DC debut, with the first issue launching September 5. The full team includes Black Canary, Cassandra Cain, Big Barda, Zealot, and Harley Quinn.

    “When I say this is a dream come true for me, I mean not just working on the iconic Birds of Prey title, but also the characters we were able to fold in, and the creative team we assembled,” said Birds of Prey writer Kelly Thompson.

    So what’s Birds of Prey about?

    In Birds of Prey, Dinah Lance is one of the DC Universe’s most elite fighters, and combined with her sonic scream, she’s a fearsome foe in any scenario…but sometimes even the Black Canary needs help. Faced with a personal mission brought to her by a mysterious new ally, and up against near-impossible odds, she re-forms the Birds of Prey with an unrivaled group—Cassandra Cain, Big Barda, Zealot, and Harley Quinn—with only one goal: extraction of their asset at any cost. What could possibly go wrong?

    This all-new, all-deadly Birds of Prey is still breaking hearts and faces after all these years!

    “I couldn’t be happier to announce my first monthly project for DC! With this book, I’ve had the opportunity to not only draw some of the most badass women in the DC Universe, but also to work once more with the best people in our industry, Kelly Thompson and Jordie Bellaire” said Birds of Prey artist Leonardo Romero. “I missed the dynamic we had on Hawkeye, so I’m very excited to have our team back together! Can’t to show you all what we’ve been doing!”

    Joker would kick his ass and he'd be lucky to survive. Even Luthor fears the Joker and he regularly fights Superman.
