The New52 needs a reboot. That's not even a sarcastic comment, this is such a mess and it isn't like going back to #1 issues again is going to hurt anything considering they're doing gimmick month every month now. DC couldn't even be hosed enough to go through Wikipedia for each character and decide which major events happened for each character.

Here's the explicit death and rebirth mention in Action Comics #16.  No description of the threat. Obviously there's the heaviest of allusions. The 5th dimensional imp behind everything bad pulls a 'Super-Doomsay' out of the multiverse, but it's all wide-open vague and metatextual (e: You have to even wonder what he's talking about with 'A.D. Yesterday: 1st Age of Superhumanity'.) When Clark beats the mask off the Super-Doomsday and there's a Doomsday/Superman face behind it, he doesn't seem to have any tinge of recognition. Actually, just thinking about it now, In Pak's Doomsday villain month issue there's a Kryptonian fable about the ultimate Krypton Warrior eternally facing the ultimate threat or something like that. With Doomsday infecting Clark in the upcoming storyline, making a Super-Doomsday for our world, it seems they're trying to support Morrison's story. Soule's comments actually don't say whatever happened never happened, if this is the interview. http://www.newsarama.com/20267-did-death-of-superman-happen-in-the-new-52-soule-on-that-question-new-doomsday-event.html Not to say there haven't been contradictory statements about it outside of the comics. Morrison left them with a weird wavy idea of it. There was a Lobdell/Pak/Soule interview where Lobdell was going off on how they've (e: Soups n Dooms) met before many times and how it's not something Superman or anyone wants to talk about, and there was a palpable sense that the other two were going 'Uhhhh..."

Looked it up, remembered this thing, said "Oh yeah". Remember the time when 4 former American superhumans fled to South America, built their giant green floating city over the ruins of the capitol of an independent nation, which was destroyed by a nuclear-powered superhero suit piloted by an immortal superhuman. They somehow got permission from the Uruguayan government to build a city on top of their old, busted city. Did building a massive floating death-ship over the bombed-out capitol of Uruguay not provoke some serious strains against Argentina and Brazil? This new city would be shaped for maximum surface area on the bottom, so that if it fell, it would do the greatest possible damage. They built buildings on top of the giant cone thing, which seems really pointless since they're already in a floating ship. They could've just had decks. Then, they invited dissatisfied superheroes from all over the world to join them, and piloted their city around the world solving problems by looming at them. In their very next appearance, in another series, they fell on another city, Kinshasa, while the JLA was gone. I don't remember that arc, so it probably had something to do with that Gorilla Grodd thing, but still. They flew their city near Kinshasa, (the capitol of the Congo) in a place where it was likely to fall on another city, and then it did. Way to job, dudes. And then in Final Crisis, a throwaway line indicates that Superbia fell out of the sky a third time in response to an attack by Darkseid's forces. It probably fell on Montevideo again.

I gotta read that JLA Classified story again. I read it as an intro to Seven Soldiers because it was on some reading list, but I don't think I got it in the slightest and hardly remember anything. There was a cube universe? I'm going through DC One Million now, so that's a next stop. Then there's a good excuse to read Seven Soldiers again  EDIT: The cover to Futures End 14 just popped in front of me while reading something. The solicits being so many weeks ahead I kinda wanna stay clear, but anyhow... http://imgur.com/JmKfKwe That's some Earth 2 on the right. I'm going in on an Earth merger having happened in the five year gap. Suddenly the Earth 2 dudes will pop up in issue #28 going "JSA to the rescue! Yeah, Batman Beyond, we've been here a while! Ever since our planet became New Apokolips and we blew it up, let's say, oh, just over four years ago!" and in time for this and the Earth 2 weekly wrapping up, we get a good ol' Crisis to make it so (e: and an 'Earth 2' cancellation, of course!)

Edge & Christian posted:To be fair, the big storylines for the five years or so leading up to "Irrationally Mistrusting rear end in a top hat Batman" were: I feel this list should be copy & pasted every time someone brings up bat-jerk in a thread. And the list should be updated for every major event on how batman is dicked over. I think the whole Talia drugging him, then making Damian/Damian-clone also would seriously gently caress with his trust factor.

Yeah, the infant universe of Qwewq (first appeared in g.mo JLA and again in All Star Superman!) was the larval stage of Neh-Buh-Loh/Nebula Man who briefly used The Master/Pulse 8 to take on human shape. The Sheeda tried to eliminate the JLA because they were looking for "seven soldiers." (The wrong seven, obviously.) Especially worth it to see the first appearance of Cyril and Beryl as Knight and Squire.

That's actually my favorite thing he does. With the Ultramarines, they had a big introductory story where the fight the JLA and then team up to fight the Shaggy Man/Wade Eiling, before fading into perennial guest star status. But Cyril and Beryl jump straight to guest star status acting like they've been around for years, and it's GREAT.
