I know that the sequence from Image to Maximum to Awesome to Arcade to whatever may have been in part to run from creditors, but at no point did I ever hear that he lost the rights to anything at all.

I'm getting tired of DC doing this too, they did it with "Bwahahaha" era JLI, they did it with Moench/Jones Batman, I hope they don't with Waid's Flash but they better not.

The '90s Resurrection Man was only supposed to be two volumes, and they couldn't even manage that.

Probably 40-50% of the remaining DC on my shelf is poo poo they began collecting and stopped. It's like a giant neon reminder to never trust their trades department.

I'm getting tired of DC doing this too, they did it with "Bwahahaha" era JLI, they did it with Moench/Jones Batman, I hope they don't with Waid's Flash but they better not. Volume two is solicited for later this year and I think it has cover art and everything. Whether it'll get past that remains to be seen but they've done a fairly good job of keeping the Ostrander Suicide Squad going. I believe they're also publishing the Starman Vol. 4 omnibus in paperback after all, having previously indicated that they wouldn't be. The second Wonder Woman by George Pérez omnibus is due out soon. One thing Marvel's had in the past that DC has lacked is a TPB line they can use to release creator-focused or run-focused reprint collections. Marvel used to have the Visionaries line (e.g. Hulk Visionaries for Peter David, Fantastic Four Visionaries for John Byrne, Thor Visionaries for Walter Simonson, Excalibur Visionaries for Alan Davis) and the Classic line (e.g. Thunderbolts Classic, New Mutants Classic, New Warriors Classic, Deadpool Classic), and they currently have the Epic Collection line (which continues to expand) and more bespoke multi-volume creator-focused releases (e.g. Guardians of the Galaxy by Jim Valentino, Black Panther by Christopher Priest etc.). DC sometimes does the latter sort (provided your name is Geoff Johns) but they don't have any kind of "Superman Visionaries: Elliot S! Maggin" or "Flash Visionaries: Cary Bates" or "The Power of Shazam Classic" or anything like that. On the whole they seem a bit more scattershot. What DC seems to be going in for is releasing collections which correspond to "age". They've got Golden Age and Silver Age omnibuses (and corresponding trade paperback editions) for Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, the Justice League and many others. They're putting out a Bronze Age Justice League Vol. 1 omnibus later this year that I'm looking forward to.

That is just my opinion, though. I apologise for my choice of words if you feel "outraged" was perhaps too strong a descriptor for the occurrence. "Thing I strongly feel needs to be said repeatedly instead of simply moving on" is probably more accurate, but hasn't entered the lexicon yet.

I mean, I didn't read the issue, but I don't know how context could make the pages posted less ridiculous and cringy. Even if it was cherry picked or whatever, what I saw with my own two eyes was pretty dire.

With Twitter, there's no room for hot issues to come up with any context. Nobody's actually gonna read a comic, silly billy. edit: Especially with Sam Wilson.

Like, the activists are ridiculously over the top in every single panel. "Consider this your trigger warning" is dumb and stupid, but all of their dialogue is that level of over the top stupid to the point of farce. They're supposed to be extremists but even when they are trying to murder someone they aren't portrayed as villainous or hostile as the Tomi character who does nothing in the issue but talk. The page posted as Sam Wilson "apologising" to Steve Rogers. Steve Rogers isn't in the entire comic, let alone the same room. He's alone and just expressing his exasperation at now being on the other side of dealing with a passionate sidekick he can't control. This panel where he's giving Rage the talk about compromising and toning it down?  That ellipsis is him in the very next panel saying "but you were right earlier - I would've played it safe and that would've been the wrong decision. I need you to keep reminding me not to compromise." Which goes back to his 'apology' and what I would say is the point of the issue, that is him realising he's now the conservative whose instinct is to moderate his radical younger associates but trying to bring that into balance with knowing how important radicalism is having once been one.

That's Rage, a very unsubtle character from the early 90s avengers who spent all his time getting really mad at how racist honkeys are. Like, that's literally all he ever did. He has some backstory but basically he was just ANGRY BLACK MAN.

I think Rage was an attempt at a Billy Batson Captail Marvel type character where it's a kid who transforms into an adult. Darkhawk was the same way, and was around at the same time. They both ended up in the New Warriors, where Rage got a better costume.

Mr Hootington posted:He is like 15 too. More like 12 or possibly younger, hence the "he has some backstory". I get that it was a sincere attempt at introducing some racial discussions into a punchfight superhero comic and that making him a kid who's secretly a sweetheart is meant to explain his boisterous attitude, but he's still kind of an embarrassing character who was about as subtle as a law and order episode.

But that guy might've been older. That a was weird time for "new" comic characters in Marvel, where they were all kids or black men on skateboards.

I became disappointed in that memo when I found out that Dark Wheelie wasn't real. Because three characters like that would've actually been some kind of trend. Whereas two characters that were actually created over a decade apart from each other really doesn't set up the premise as well.

Speaking of Night Thrasher, that Contest of Champions miniseries was better than it had any right to be. And set up a bunch of potential stuff (Outlaw's new thing, a new super-hero team, entirely new French Female Superhero, loving Ares literally getting yanked out of his happy afterlife to come back to Earth) that I'm sad isn't ever going to get referenced, except maybe some small thing years from now.
