CapnAndy posted:No, the DC characters don't have their own in-universe comics. There are winks on both sides that Marvel publishes comics in the DCU and DC publishes comics on Earth-616, though. Actually in Detective Comics #622-624 there is an unauthorized Batman comic which is pretty freaking twisted. Basically a comic writer and artist put their interpretation of Batman into a comic book, within a comicbook. edit: Also the Watchmen comicbook made an appearance in The Question.

Wikipedia doesn't seem to mention any, and I'd expect those obsessive-compulsives to be all over this kind of thing.

I recall that there are Spider-man and Daredevil comics, which are kind of like the old pulp horror comics, and I want to say Captain America has a comic too (possibly drawn by Steve himself?)

onefish posted:Are there any good links for etiquette of things like getting sketches from artists in Artist's Alley at NYCC or cons in general? Prices I should expect to pay? Or tips for doing this, general knowledge (if some artists are no fun and overcharge), etc? Say hello, ask nicely. Most will either have a price list and/or a sign up sheet. If it's someone popular, get there as early as possible on the first day as they get filled up fast. It's too late for this, but some artists do pre-convention sketches online for you to pick up when you get there. Prices will be all over the place depending on the artist's demand, popularity, and, frankly, how much they feel like spending their time drawing vs. meeting with fans and other pros they only see at cons.

Didn't one of Barry's origins have him deciding on "The Flash" because of Jay Garrick comics?

For ages in the Silver Age DC it was established fact that other universes had comics depicting the adventures of the Justice League or the Flash. But this wasn't because the Flash was a fictional character. Rather those universes just psycically tuned into the Flashes adventures and copied their adventures and took it all as their own work.

I appreciate this--simple stuff, but the whole deal is new to me, so I'm glad to read it.

Spider-Man has made references to Batman Returns (while fighting The Jury), and the Christian Bale Batman (Spot issue during Brand New Day), if those count for anything.

Back in Giffen and DeMatteis' Justice League International series in the late '80s, Maxwell Lord licensed a Justice League comic that portrayed Guy Gardner as a wimpy idiot, which he was for a brief time after Batman knocked him out with one punch and he hit his head getting back up. When Guy's true personality came back, he was offended and pissed about the comic, since he didn't remember his time spent as a friendly simpleton.

Endless Mike posted:It happens in Warlock and the Infinity Watch pretty much immediately after. He doesn't lose them so much as the Living Tribunal decides that they will no longer work together, so he gives them away to his best buddies and also Thanos. Mild difference: Eternity petitions the Living Tribunal to stop the Gems from working together, and It questions Eternity's objectiveness in the whole affair. ("Is this not the law of nature? The strong seeking to supplant the weak?") The Tribunal does say to Warlock he has to surrender the Gems. Warlock says he would resist, to which the Tribunal says any fight between them would lay waste to all reality. So for a bit there, Warlock did play chicken with the Living Tribunal.

I love the series, but this has bugged me for a long time. Spoilers for the last issue of New Frontier: So King Faraday dies pulling the psychic presence of the Centre of of J'onn. How exactly did he do that though? Was he a low level psychic or something?

Are there any resources compiling recommended reading lists for comic books? I know the recommended reading thread has a post but I'm wondering if there's anything more comprehensive. For example I'm interested in trying to tackle The Flash but can't see myself reading the whole catalog, basically hoping for a best hits version that gives me the broad strokes.

I suppose the fact that Mark Waid seems to have burned his bridges with DC could very well preclude more of his Flash stories being collected in the near future than have been already.
