I'm in the same boat. I'll be dropping if this isn't Dixon
Posted by jobob247 on 08/18/08 at 05:14 PMWhos the new team?.. Why are we so sure they will suck? I'm lost.
Posted by CharlieBlix on 08/18/08 at 10:21 PMLooks like Frank Tieri comes on next. I quite like GOTHAM UNDERGROUND so that's good news.
Posted by conor on 08/19/08 at 12:17 AMTieri's work on Gotham Underground was fantastic!
Posted by Eyun on 08/19/08 at 01:30 AMI like this book a lot. It's good fun/action superhero comics. I just hope Dixon is actually writing it! There has been so many wrong solicits from DC lately, I won't believe it's him until I open the comic. Tieri is taking over this book? I wasn't a huge fan of Gotham Underground (too many issues of nothing happening for my tastes) but I'll read an issue or two of his run on this book before I decide to drop it, when Chuck D leaves.
Posted by WadeWilson on 08/19/08 at 02:45 AMI'll hold on to this after the RIP tie-ins coming up. But it'll definitely be on the chopping block.
Posted by Kory on 08/19/08 at 07:36 AMAny chance the RIP tie-ins have anything to do with the actual RIP storyline or will the be tie-ins in name only?
Posted by stuclach on 08/19/08 at 08:49 AM@stuclach- they probably won't have anything to do with RIP. but i'm buying them just in case. the tie-in will probably be that someone mentions that Batman is missing.
Posted by Kory on 08/19/08 at 08:59 AMHmmm, I didn't like Tieri's Wolverine back in the day, I'm skeptical.
Posted by CAM on 08/19/08 at 09:32 AMFrom what I understand, the RIP tie-in on this title doesn't start until next issue.
Posted by flapjaxx on 08/20/08 at 07:38 AMRIP tie-ins are issues #11-13.
Posted by Kory on 08/20/08 at 01:53 PMIF the premise for the RIP tie-in is the one they set up in this issue then the "tie" is absolutely nonexistant. If the next issue is this bad I'm dropping the book.
Posted by stuclach on 08/20/08 at 08:51 PMMeh. Outsiders be warned, you could get dropped soon.
Posted by Kory on 08/20/08 at 09:12 PMWhat the hay happened? This ish kinda dropped the ball, it was all over the place. Some interesting ideas, but nothing fully fleshed out.....and I the dialogue seemed off to me. I'm gonna stick through RIP, and then try the new guy, but I think I'm also putting this book on the chopping block. Sad because the last ish was pretty good.
Posted by Ntpmcrtp on 08/21/08 at 02:23 AMI picked this title up for two reasons . 1 I enjoyed The last series of the outsiders by Judd WInnick an 2 I love Dixion. Not sure if I should stay or Go?
Posted by Dietz82 on 08/22/08 at 09:01 AMBig reason this book was bad? Ryan Benjamin on art. What the hell happened there? Benjamin needs to just... stop...
Posted by GungaDin on 08/22/08 at 10:45 PMI love this book, the art, the story -- everything. But (there is always a "but") I'm worried that all this great stuff that's been laid out by Mr Dixon will just be left unanswered & forgotten when he leaves the book. It seems like his run so far has been setting things up for a long run on the book & now he's gone ... the new writer will just do his own thing. It's very disappointing to me. I'd love to see Chuck on this title for at least 6 more issues to finish what he started before leaving.

Any idea if this issue is the last one written by Chuck Dixon? If so, then I will be picking this up. If not, then this book is being dropped from my pull list.
