hagie posted:What are the best Green Lantern Arcs post Blackest Night/Brightest Day/New 52 start? A few years back I binged and bought a ton of series from like Sinestro War to what would appear to be "The Weaponer" or first volume New 52 where Sinestro "lends" Hal a ring. Pretty much all of N52 Batman is good. Since Rebirth Batman has been a top tier book.

nofather posted:When the Green Lantern Corps arrests people, they put them in science-cells. Are people eventually released, or do they just sit there until they die or the universe ends? It's basically space jail. They're either held there or transferred to a prison in the appropriate jurisdiction. I think one of the arcs last year involved a guy who used to be locked up in a science cell before getting released.

GL prisoners are held until the next cosmic reboot, five years max. Related: Green Lantern Earth One is solid, leaves the other Earth Ones in the dust.

Snyder really lucked out (or timed his job very well) with Batman in New 52. He basically got his own uninterrupted storytime. Some writers seem to do well with that, some have a tendency to, I guess, hedge their bets sort of? Not be particularly bold when writing since they might be off it in a year.Xelkelvos posted:It's basically space jail. They're either held there or transferred to a prison in the appropriate jurisdiction. I think one of the arcs last year involved a guy who used to be locked up in a science cell before getting released. I knew it was space jail I didn't know if they transferred folks to 'real' prison. I figured Salaak (sp?) just watched them, some don't seem like they'd be really transferable. It's interesting to know. Green Lantern's always been something I've wanted to get into, but whenever I've tried it's been a weird time and events keep popping up that change the big names.

I didn't come up with it actually. Frank was very ill and had all the visible symptoms of liver disease/failure. His life long alcoholism would have disqualified him from a transplant so a bunch of people decided he got a south American liver transplant.

Like you just don't get it because there's so many people who need it that they think you're just going to ruin it again? Man it's weird when you apply moral arguments to someone's literal ability to survive. I'm not saying to you, I'm just saying as a concept that our society just accepts.

My step dad was denied a liver transplant and removed from eligibilty because of him being a drunk fro 40 years. I don't know if it's a law but I'm sure there's some sort of federal guideline.

I thought that's how that worked? Shouldn't there not be a shortage of liver transplants? You know what, this is not the right place to talk about this. Instead, I'm just going to talk about how reading the last two issues of Superman hurt my head because Bizarro talk is annoying. Also, Bizarro Lois Lane was hilarious. The second she see Superman, she wants that super-dick.

Man it's weird when you apply moral arguments o someone's literal ability to survive. I'm not saying to you, I'm just saying as a concept that our society just accepts. There were legitimate doctors complaining about how the whole thing was handled, and as a kid I assumed it was because he was a drunk, not realizing it was the cancer thing until I read a book about Mantle years later. Anyway, there's a whole non-profit organization dedicated to coordinating organ transplants in the US[/url], and material from them explicitly discusses various alcoholism-caused problems as one reason people need (and get) liver transplants, so it's not an automatic disqualification. It does describe a pre-transplant evaluation for all organ transplants that include an evaluation of whether or not the patient is willing to make lifestyle changes to prevent the same problems happening again, so it's possible there's some anecdote out there of a truly unrepentant abuser getting turned down, but who knows, maybe Frank has turned over a new sober leaf?

Bad Batman Opinions Ahead: Mainline Batman comics wise, nothing has really been all that good since the original Court of Owls. Death of the Family was some serious concept/execution blueballing. Past that, Synder's run up to the end was rather dull. The Superheavy/Bloom arcs didn't go anywhere despite it being a huge shakeup and fresh new villain respectively. King's run on Batman has gone from extremely high expectations to pretty mediocre output in no time flat with a couple of interesting one-offs sprinkled in, like Swamp-Thing and The Button. The off-line Batman stuff has been rather provoking though. White Knight pretty darn good for instance. D.Ork Bimboolean fucked around with this message at 08:00 on Mar 24, 2018 |

I don't really care for either, but for different reasons. I've definitely gotten tired of Mass Carnage Street Level superhero stories, and I could see the argument that the murder of hundreds/thousands of people is really just the backdrop for the subtle human drama of The Bat and the Cat and The Riddles and The Jokes and The Pimp and The Bun, but that almost makes it worse. The misery-porn of Kite-Man didn't help anything. King's writing style grates on me, but I have to admit I prefer the version cut with a little whimsy in his Batman to the "Serious Man In a Serious World This Ain't Your Daddy's Kiddy Bullshit Comic This is Serious poo poo gently caress Your Kiddy Komics" version of King on display in Omega Men/Vision/Mister Miracle.

I'm 32, and Jean Paul Valley just became Batman in my first comic. To each their own, but Tom King's Batman/Catwoman (and Mister Miracle/Big Barda) really makes me happy. Easily my two favorite super hero couples.

James Tynion writing Legion of Doom for Snyder's JL (backups?) -New Justice League Dark from Tynion  Wonder Woman, Det Chimp, Swamp Thing, Man Bat, Zatanna (Constantine and Dr Fate also mentioned) -Justice League Odyssey from Josh Williamson  Cyborg, Starfire, Jessica Cruise, Azrael, Darkseid(on the team!) Base is a Braniac head spaceship "with flames on it" -Unannounced Bryan Hill spin-off from his Det run. -Titans still Dan Abnett. Nightwing and Raven leading. Beast Boy, Steel and Miss Martian on the team. -New Titans from Adam Glass. Led by Damian. The end. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Mar 24, 2018 |
