Out of Loeb's Marvel style flirting with cannibalism, only Blob was in the Ultimate Universe. The rest were all 616!Aphrodite posted:Sabretooth is a different species and therefore technically not a cannibal. 1) Sabretooth ate Feral, who according to ROMULUS was a fellow evolved-from-dog Homo Lupus non-mutant, just like Wolverine. So that's still cannibalism! BUT.... 2) In the follow-up story, REMUS shows up to explain how her brother is full of poo poo and he's not immortal and there's no Homo Lupus species and he just tricked Wolverine into having ancient flashbacks and tricked Beast and other scientists into thinking Wolverine's DNA had dog in it and the Sabretooth that Wolverine killed that ate Feral was actually just a clone. So I guess Sabretooth isn't a cannibal after all. You tricked us like the master planner ROMULUS

That is one convoluted plot to get someone to eat Feral. Like Cartman level plotting.

I forget if Loeb had Killer Croc threaten to eat someone as a giant gator man, but Azzarello reverted him to his more human look, and confirmed he was a cannibal in Broken City. Unrelated, but it appears Mother Panic's back up story may be doing something similar to Long Halloween. Also, Mother Panic is the Vertigo style Bat book I didn't know I wanted.

Hey so, I've been out of DC comics for a while aside from reading Batman. Have they revealed DR Manhatten's part in Rebirth/DC main line yet? Like has he interacted with anyone? I'm just really curious how they bring him into the main DCU.

It's been a slow burn. The person who has interacted with Rebirth the most seems to be Ozymandias in some guise, capturing Doomsday and Tim Drake. And Superman and son seem to have discovered the giant squid corpse on an abandoned mysterious island.

I'm really sorry for the dumb questions: So is the implication that the DCU is like an alternate Watchmen universe? An alternate universe? Some kinda time travel thing?

The implication, I think, is that Dr Manhattan and Ozymandias have both become aware of the DCU and one or both of them are doing some stuff behind the scenes, with an implication that Dr Manhattan stole some of their years/experiences.

The DCU is the same rebooted N52 universe, but The Watchmen have been retconned into being behind the Flashpoint birth of it, so every character and relationship change is a result of tampering rather than happenstance. In Rebirth, things are drifting back to the way they used to be (Green Arrow and Black Canary getting together, a Superman family, etc.) which the Watchmen don't seem to dig, so Tim Drake has been captured after he started having a relationship with the new Spoiler, which was something in the old universe. Because of a recent event called Convergence, there's the possibility of every DC era ever being accessable in an infinite multiverse, which is how the old Superman and Lois came over, but there's no indication that they'll be using any of that in what's going on. e: Also, Wild Dog is all Wild Doggin' in Cave Carson #2, and Flippa Dippa is investigating the Rock of Eternity in the Tom Scioli backup, so everyone get on that Young Animal train for a sec and read that comic.

DC comics I read this week were mostly solid: Green Lanterns only gets better since that Red Lanterns business wrapped up. Rookie lanterns proving themselves against an entitled fame whore lantern is a perfect showdown. Superman was, as previously noted, loving amazing. Batman is sitting on Chekhov's Ventriloquist and I want to know what clever twist King has already. Janin's art works great for me, that spread with the pipes is an exception, not the rule. Trinity treads mostly well-worn ground, but I'm sure younger readers will lap up Young Bruce's guilt trip more readily. Lois charging a truck at Poison Ivy is gold, though.

Yeah Raven was planned as a six issue mini, just like the Poison Ivy one. Honestly I like the mini-series idea. It means people who are fans of lower-tier characters that can't float their own monthly consistently have a chance to still see work published about their favorite. Plus it sometimes means we get underrated hits like Sugar & Spike from Keith Giffen, which is out in trade form!

Tomasi/Gleason are one of the all-time creative duos imo. The only bad thing they've done together was that Martian Manhunter story in Brightest Day, and even then that was just kind of eh.

What happened in this week's Cyborg by the way? I'm probably the only person still reading it at this point but there loving changed artists mid issue. I have never seen that before. It was incredibly jarring, and the second artist they switched to I just didn't care for.

Bob Harras has a demonstrated preference for going "get it out the door, if the artists can't get it done on time get more artists." As evinced by the late '90s X-Men issues with eight different artists on a single issue.
