Of course, just as Owlman begins to attain omniscience, he becomes aware of a presence and he and Grid are subsequently atomized by Sir Not Appearing in This Film (Dr. Manhattan).

I'm sorry, what?*5 minutes of googling ensues*  WHAT.If Alan Moore were to be found tomorrow surrounded by corpses in the DC bullpen, clutching an axe and grinning maniacally, I would not be surprised. And no jury in the world would convict him.

DC just published a comic were they blame a guy who hasn't worked for them in a long time for all their problems. This is a thing that happened.

prefect posted:Every Major Revelation in DC Comics' Rebirth Special It's a very attractive morbid curiosity, really. There's basically no way this can turn out well, but I really want to see how they try. I want to know how they came to that last big idea. Did they start with it, or were they really stuck on how to resolve a particular point before someone burst in, possibly on multiple drugs, and just shouted DR. MANHATTAN DID IT!

Rhonne posted:Wait what? What the gently caress? As for those panels, they're from an issue of What If? where Cap saves Erskine and leads a troop of super soldiers in WW2 (basically the Howling Commandos but with super soldier abilities). Needless to say this works out pretty well, but on the ship back to the US, their ship gets sunk by a U-boat and Cap is the only survivor. Note this is all told in flashback by President Cap to Ted Koppel. So, Cap makes it back, becomes head of SHIELD, reveals his identity, and eventually becomes president. He starts distributing the super soldier serum among the populace, but it doesn't work on black people for some reason! Very strange! In this world, Cap can be president-for-life, and is, and stops a bunch of things that would have led to more superheroes (no Spider-Man, no F4, etc.). Eventually in "now", amnesiac Namor gets attacked by the super soldiers and flees into the Arctic, finding Cap's frozen body. The following issue is "What If Captain America Formed the Avengers?" which continues the story where we learn President Cap is actually Red Skull, and Frozen Cap finds the handful of heroes and creates the Avengers to avenge the mess Red Skull has made (Wolverine with Wendigo powers, Sam Wilson as Giant-Man, Punisher in Iron Man armor, and Namor).

Endless Mike posted:As said, Cap was revealed to be in Hydra the whole time!!! (It's a story and will be undone. Come on now.) I read this issue a few weeks ago as my shop was selling some back issues for a dollar. The second part was one of the weirdest (in a good way) issues I've read in a while. The mix-matching of the powers to different characters was awesome, and since it was an issue from the 80s, I didn't know about that twist ending. I went back to my shop to buy the second issue with little delay.

It had good artwork but the actual themes and context of the story were terrible. The Hooded Justice plot in particular is just foul and disgusting and misses everything meaningful about the plotline in favor of child rape and evil homosexuals.

Wait a second...there was a lot of half jokey talk about Moore laying curses when the Watchmen movie was coming out. (I remember a clever 2 page comic homage to Ozy's success with a wall of tvs depicting such). What if...what if Alan Moore IS responsible for the Nu52?! Oh...oh God...

So this is gonna be like the time Magneto got de-aged 40 years and started going by Joseph, with Marvel proclaiming loudly,"This IS Magneto. It is NOT a clone, not a robot, not a Skrull, it IS Magneto!" and then a few issues later they revealed,"Oh hey he's actually a clone."?
