The DC Thread

[Podmark]

They never said that this was permanent. They even show Bruce at the end of Final Crisis, alive and well in stone age. Besides its a 6 issue mini, so it will last till september, and Morrison said that he has an entire year of stories for Dick and Damian dynamic duo. So it will be a year and a half with Dick in the batsuit, which is not bad. Bucky didn`t last much longer as Cap, which I personally thought it would.

I know they set this up from the beginning. I'm just talking generally.

Yeah, the Dark Avengers one, but the first cover of the Siege has Steve in the suit, though the covers may be misleading sometimes.

Iron Man had Bucky and Steve both working as Captain America. I'm really hoping they both keep the name.

[Podmark]

It has come to my attention

Spoiler

That Kyle Rayner is once again alive and well.

All is right in the world again.

[marhawkman]

Hehe... I never really expected him to die die.

[Podmark]

In Blackest Night, through Brightest Day.

Colour me interested.

why no one likes fish boy

With punctuation or capitalization, that might make sense.  As it is, I choose to completely misconstrue it into "Why, no one likes fish, boy."  I don't see what one's culinary preferences have to do with comic heroes.  Also, don't be silly, all discerning comic readers love the man in orange!

Trelau, this is just cover speculation at this point.



I read today's Adventure Comics, the last by Johns and Manapul. It was a good issue with some great work with Lex Luthor. I really liked this book, I wish it could have gone on longer. Manapul's art has become one of my favorites and if I get the new Flash series he'll be a big reason why.

[marhawkman]

I wonder.... Could Brightest Day somehow be WORSE than Blackest Night?

It just has that "Crisis of the year" vibe to it.

First two covers for Return of BW.

http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2010/02/05/end-your-week-in-a-big-way-return-of-bruce-wayne-1-and-2-covers/

Both look awesome, love the similar sky motif.

[The Hitman]

BENTON!!! LOOKIE HERE!!

[BentonGrey]

That is a good thing, of course it doesn't make up for the last several years of him being ignored or mistreated, but it's a step in the right direction.  It's ALMOST enough to make me pick the book up.

[Bloodshadow]

 
I was looking forward to Finch's DC work(Batman and Flash in particular),but that Aquaman is sweet.
For anyone who hasn't met him yet,he's a great guy and going to C2E2 by the way.C2E2 couldn't get any better for me,unless of course Ink shows up (Pretty please! )

[BentonGrey]

Yeah, that cover is absolutely beautiful.

[deano_ue]

blackest night flash 3

bloody hell yes

[Kenn]

I think Aquqman's shirt is bronze, not truly orange, just as his hair is blond and not necessarily bright yellow.

[daglob]

I have always thought it was golden, like a goldfish. The couple of Aquaman skins I've done I tried to make it that way.

Indeed, the color of those crackers is mighty similar.

Anyone reading the Cry for Justice mini series?

Spoiler

What's the point of bring back the original Prometheus and killing him off? The writing was sub par.

[The Hitman]

The problem with JLA:CfJ is that it was originally intended to be an ongoing series, which was then bumped down to mini status after the writer, James Robinson, was told that he was taking over the JLA book proper. Then, there were characters he was told he was allowed to use that were co-opted by other writers (Batwoman, specifically). From there, Robinson basically phoned in the rest of the series in order to build up his new JLA run.

Spoiler

What that has to do with Prometheus being offed is anyone's guess.

[tommyboy]

It seemed like Cry for justice was intended to be another harsher, more "real" take on the genre, with the painted art and the death and disfigurement (channeling Dr. Frinke, there).
And the bringing back etc did lend the end a little more weight, I thought.
Not Robinson's best work though, for me.

[doctorchallenger]

Just looked at the preview for Justice League: Rise and Fall.  All I can say is that the genre is officially dead. The big two are staffed by carrion feasting on the rotting corpses of the heroes of my childhood.

[DrMike2000]

I agree. Cry for Justice looks woeful.

[murs47]

Holy heck yes Batman!
