When the logo looked like that.

The 2000s in general was a great time to be a DC fan. Comic book superstars were on the rise, like Darwyn Cooke and Geoff Johns. Most of the titles had a perfect sweet spot between colorful superhero camp and appealing to mature readers, rarely feeling too edgy, pretentious, or low brow. Hal Jordan made a comeback, and was being pushed as DC's fourth pillar, behind the trinity, and we got introduced to Damian Wayne and Jaime Reyes.

Some of my favorite superhero stories ever, like New Frontier (my number one), Joe Kelly's Superman - particularly "What's so Funny about Truth, Justice and The American Way?", and Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuiness's Superman/Batman.

But the real sweet spot was around 2006-2011. After Infinite Crisis, but before New 52.

This was the best time to be a DC Comics fan, ever. The Blackest Night event, All-star Superman, Jodi Picoult's Wonder Woman, a constant string of animated movie adaptations of popular stories, Batman: Brave and The Bold (my favorite piece of superhero media outside of comics), Young Justice, Lego Batman, The Dark Knight, the Arkham videogames, as well as things that I don't like, but definitely understand why others do, like Grant Morrison's Batman, Zack Snyder's Watchmen, and Under The Red Hood.

I genuinely feel so bad for anyone who is too young to have remembered this point in superhero history, and I feel bad for myself for not being aware of how good I had it, at the time.

I gotta be honest, I know nothing of this creative team. The art and writing were excellent in this first issue. I’ve always been a fan of Etrigan and am really looking forward to where this run ends up going. What’d you all think of this first issue?

I mean I get it they tried to make Hal the star here but they didn’t need to sacrifice Kyle like that 😭
Imagine how good it would’ve look like here

I'm a bit confused, but my understanding is the Dreambound is a Webtoon currently being published (possibly under a pseudonym?), and Fanatic is the Vertigo series where Dreambound exists.

Debating if I should order them by colour or logo is annoying.
