Covok posted:, they just no longer recognize fear and thus no longer feel shame or social pressure. So you can still be an effective cop and you would be immune to fear and be the most powerful Green Lantern. This would make you more like irl cops and I don't think we want them to be more like irl cops

From a couple of SDCC panel descriptions, I'm guessing Mark Russel's got a new mainline comic (there's a separate Vertigo panel, so it's not his upcoming Vert comic), and it's far enough away from Brave and The Bold that Liam Sharp is probably there for a new thing (or maybe he's just added to a JL art roster.) 11:15am DC Nation Rejoice, DC faithful! The DC Nation is back and better than ever! DC publisher Dan DiDio hosts this all-star gathering with Tom King (Batman, Mister Miracle), Joshua Williamson (Flash), Jimmy Palmiotti (Harley Quinn, The Jetsons), Amanda Conner (Harley Quinn, The Jetsons), and Mark Russell (The Flintstones, The Snagglepuss Chronicles)talking and teasing upcoming stories. Friday July 20, 2018 11:15am – 12:15pm Room 6DE 4:15pm DC Justice League Meet the talented minds behind DC’s “New Justice” movement as they share their inspirations behind your favorite DC superheroes. Scott Snyder, Adam Glass, Joshua Williamson, James Tynion IV, Bernard Chang, and Liam Sharp have a lot to share about your favorite characters and their fight for justice.

Madkal posted:Villians United is pretty cool. You can read that. Ditto for Omac. Otherwise....meh. I don't hate Infinite crisis as much as others here but it is very much a meh story for me. Day of Vengeance always gets over looked and that's a shame cause it's really good. Also Infinite Crisis is reeeeeeaaaall bad. Just go find and read Edited Crisis #4.

I guess I should have asked in here before I spent $75 on an omnibus so huge it's probably going to damage the floorboards in my apt if I drop it. I always thought it was meant to be a prime example of the quality of DC in the mid 00s, other examples of which I've read and liked a lot - 52, Morrison Batman, Johns GL, etc.

Don't listen to people if you're enjoying the experience. There was a time when Infinite Crisis was the hot thing around these parts before it was the hot thing to say that it wasn't the hot thing. I personally still hold it up as one of the best-executed crossovers, even if a lot of it was hit-or-miss, and that that period of DC Comics was one of the most interesting times to be reading DC Comics.

I like COIE and Final Crisis a bunch, but the events are never the best thing going. Prove that wrong, King! edit: If you haven't read Crisis on Infinite Earths already, do that. It's neat just seeing every hero up till 1985 or whatever all together, but the story does tie in in a major way. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 01:16 on Jul 8, 2018 |

I enjoy it and the event is one of the better events published in my opinion.

The best thing about Infinite Crisis is that it lead to 52. That alone makes the event worth it. It also lead to secret six but I might be alone in thinking that was a good thing

If any of you have archives and want to dive into what's probably a terrible thread full of bad takes and worse detective work, well here's the original BSS Identity Crisis thread. All 169 pages of it. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=1245781 (Also 2004 was a very different time on this forum, so piracy talk is probably going to be pretty rampant. And probably worse things.) X-O fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Jul 8, 2018 |

All 169 pages of it. I only just click the link and all I can think is that this guy really likes Japanese female wrestlers. Also, I'm pretty sure that wrestler now actually wrestles for the WWE. Also, I look forward to finding out how people responded to identity crisis when it came out. I remember trying to explain why I didn't like it to my friends and they were just like "what's wrong with Comics being mature and edgy? They should be!" They didn't read Comics, but they were total edgelords and I don't hang out with them anymore. I remember one of them freaked out about Miles Morales and the death of Peter Parker a lot when it happened until I explain to him the concept of the Ultimate Universe. I still think that guy might have been a little racist.

It wasn't until it was clear this was bull that it started to turn. 5-10 years from now we'll load up the instanced SA social network and review the Batwedding posts and say "See! We all knew it was poo poo before the reveal!" while ignoring how the double-date totally had us buying into it.

So the NYT actually put up an article about their spoiler filled article revealing Batman 50. It's a weird read. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/05/reader-center/when-a-spoiled-batman-comic-has-unintended-consequences.html DC asked them to feature it in the Weddings section, after finding out it wouldn't actually happen the writer declined feeling that would be disingenuous so it turned into something else.

See, I wish people were as bonkers about comics these days as they were about ID Crisis. That thread was a hundred plus pages of pure unadulterated goonery, but it was still...well, a hundred plus pages of pure unadulterated goonery. These days? Something like the Bat-wedding fails to happen and we get a couple people getting a little annoyed about it a little, I guess. A pale flicker compared to the glorious blaze that once roared through this world. (except for me 'cuz I was still lurking at the time  )(And I'm not blaming anyone for it. If anything it has way more to do with the state of the industry and the diminishing returns exacerbated by years of DC dropping balls all over the place. But it's still unfortunate)

Also consider that a lot fewer people are posting on this forum. Seriously bring some friends in or something. And also super-lol if you didn't guess Jean Loring did the murder and she brought a flame thrower with her because why the gently caress not.

Pretty much this and if being an abused fan of WWE has done anything for me is always expect the dumbest poo poo at the dumbest time. All the time. Like I'm pretty loving annoyed at the BatWedding not happening, but it's DC they can't not poo poo the bed.

In the third book it's stated she did not die from the burns, that she was dead prior to the burns. Who cares. If he did burn her, it would not have been with a flamethrower and a flamethrower would have left some fuel residue someone would have picked up on in the preliminary search of the house Dr. Light would not. Worst plot point ever. Codependent Poster posted:I don't see what the problem is. The heroes went after Light before the autopsy report. Ralph and the others assumed it was Light because of past history and because Light can burn people. Where are you getting this flamethrower thing from?

It's more recent but here's another article; the author of the first one shows up in the comments to agree with someone who argues that discomfiture over rape scenes in comics is because people are too uptight about sex.

I've always wondered if they weren't planning to kill Jimmy Olsen in Identity Crisis but were talked down before pulling the trigger. There was a lot of narrative focus on Superman's supporting cast that ends up going nowhere...
