A Strange Aeon posted:Wait, this can't possibly be canon, can it? It's from Convergence, which I understand to be the lamest of DC's big 'Crisis' events. That's specifically the Pre-Crisis Earth-One Batman and Gordon. So it's canon, but it basically doesn't matter.

What's the context for Booster and Sinestro? Did Booster gently caress up the time line so Sinestro stuck with the GL Corps? (Also, that guy just unloading at point blank range with two handguns is making me giggle. Is House of Mystery worth a read?)

Elissimpark posted:What's the context for Booster and Sinestro? Did Booster gently caress up the time line so Sinestro stuck with the GL Corps? Booster is protecting the timeline after 52 happened, a bunch of villains are taking advantage of time wonkyness to stop people becoming heroes, he's in the past to stop them and keep time on track. One of these villains had told Sinestro that Guy Gardner was one day going to be his student, and was going to surpass him in every way, prompting Sinestro to go visit him earlier than the regular timeline, which would have lead to Guy's death and the creation of the Sinestro Corps deacades earlier than it should. Booster decides to talk Sinestro out of interacting with Guy by explaining that he's from the future and that the villains were lying, Sinestro will always be the greatest Green lantern and that everything everyone does in the future is to honor Sinestro. This works, because Sinestro, and then Booster accidentally plants the seed of the Sinestro Corps because he's a time idiot. It's a pretty great series, Booster is going heroically to save the entire timeline many, many times, but he is always going to be seen as a clown by others and won't really be remembered in the future because if he was a higher-status hero he'd be too much of a target, which would leave time unprotected, works really well, Geoff Johns keeps his worst habits mostly under control and Dan Jurgens on art (and later writing) a character he created is always fun. Edit: The Tom King Batman/Booster Gold story is much worse if you've read this run. BooDooBoo fucked around with this message at 13:18 on Jul 1, 2021 |

I read that Booster Gold series back in the day and it was really good. Except.... There was this weird plot thread where Booster saved his sister who was killed in his 90s miniseries (Goldstar, I think.) And she was hanging out with Booster Gold and Rip Hunter. And how Rip Hunters parents was a super top secret so other time travelers couldn't kill him. And I swear it looked like Booster and his sister were being setup to be Rip's biological dad.

The Question IRL posted:I read that Booster Gold series back in the day and it was really good. Booster is Rip's father, founding a whole family that protects time, Goldstar was saved by Rip a milisecond before she died (like Booster hi himself in 52), but not to be his mother, she was a "consolation" for Booster, because Ted Kord had to stay dead for time reasons. For clarity: There was no incest.

 The more you look at it, the From the reboot of Mighty Crusaders, in which the artist/writer quit immediately and not for the reasons you'd imagine.

I mean, to be clear, the art is not really bad there (apart from the very weird arms up in front, I guess). In fact whoever did that is clearly good at drawing, even if their style is a bit 90s (Jaguar and Lancelot Strong in particular have the big flatiron faces that were popular on pushed character designs from back then). The funny part is just how derivative the character designs are.

The Impact Comics versions of the Archie heroes are likely what most people born in the early 80s are familiar with. DC had house ads for that universe in their entire line of publishing for 6 months. Hell Rob clearly based his Black Hood on the Impact version.

Also, because I just realized that since those are Archie comics, it's not coincidence: That Black Hood inspired a villain in Riverdale. In Riverdale he's a serial killer, because about half the cast of Riverdale is.

Vinland Saga The story is set in the early 1000s. Thorfinn is the leader of a group of Norsemen who is trying to set up a colony in North America, and they're trying to make contact with the natives to ask for their permission to settle on their land. In the latest chapter, the natives (who are Mi'kmaq) stride out of the woods to meet the colonists, and someone shouts "It's an attack!" Everyone grabs whatever weapon they can get their hands on (no swords, though, the colony has a strict "no weapons of war" rule) and rush towards where Thorfinn is greeting the natives only to find out that... It's, fine, actually. (Right-to-left.)
