Madkal posted:Finished my re-read of The Question trades and I briefly remembered the ending but forgot what a downer the last two issues are, where things are really really really falling apart for Hub City. The trades don't collect the quarterlies or anything after the run so I went on wiki to see what happened to the characters. Looks like the decided to amp up the depression even more. One thing I didn't see on the wiki though is what happened to Myra after she decided to stay in Hub City and what happened to Hub City itself after the last issue. Is there any follow up on what happened to Myra? I assume only bad things because that is what the comic is like. Also has Hub City appeared anywhere in the last 20 years? From memory, when I read it the Questions next appearance after the Quarterlies it was in like a cross-over with Azreal or in a Detective Comics issue. They pretty much don't mention any of what happened in the end and imply he is still in touch with Aristotle, Myra and Jackie guess she didn't really die after all. From memory the Question then shows up in L.A.W! Living Assualt Weapons, a mini series about all the Charleton Heroes stepping up when the JLA are stuck in a magic spell. In the Question issue Vic is walking around Hub City and it looks just like a normal comic city. I think it was referenced in Convergence but I never read that.

Madkal posted:I am powering through the Question trades and it is kind of mind blowing the stuff that they got away with. I noticed that after a certain amount of issues it started saying "Suggested for mature readers" which I think was another precursor for the Vertigo line. The only other non-Vertigo book I can think of off the top of my head that had the "Suggested for mature readers" box was Lobo. I am kind of interested if there is a history behind this or a move from DC to make more mature hero books in the 80's. 1987 saw a number of books SfMR: Angel Love, The Shadow, Slash Maraud, Sonic Disruptors, Vigilante, Wasteland, and starting with issue #8 (June 1987), The Question. 1988 added Blackhawks, Cinder & Ashe, Green Arrow, Haywire, Hellblazer, Tailgunner Jo, Unknown Soldier, and V for Vendetta. 1989 added even more: A Catwoman mini-series, a Deadman mini-series, Gilgamesh II, Justice Inc., The Ring (the opera not the horror movie), Sandman, and Skreemer. The Huntress series switched over to SfMR with its seventh issue, a tag it kept until it was canceled with #19. 1990 saw the publication of a "Mature Readers" adaptation of the Adventures of Ford Fairlane (and a code approved adaptation of Total Recall), a mini-series called The Butcher (a Green Arrow spinoff), Breathtaker, Ms. Tree, The Nazz, Shade the Changing Man, Twilight, and World Without End. Shade the Changing Man wasn't solicited as "Mature Readers" until the fourth issue, though the first three still had the tag at publication. Doom Patrol added a SfMR as of issue 37, over a year into Grant Morrison and Richard Case's run. The first mini-series for Books of Magic and Lobo also launched in 1990, but didn't get a SfMR tag in either case. 1991 saw the Grant Morrison Kid Eternity book get a SfMR label, as did the Mister E mini. There was also John Byrne's OMAC miniseres, Generation Zero, The Griffin, The Psycho, and the Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special was the first "Mature Readers" Lobo book. 1992 added a few more pre-Vertigo SfMR books: Shado (another Green arrow spin-off), another Deadman mini-series, and Lobo's Back/Lobo: Infanticide. Green Arrow dropped the Mature Readers label with issue 63 in May 1992, and Animal Man #50 added it in June. January 1993 saw the launch of Vertigo and that was pretty much the end of "Mature Readers" books in the DCU until Black Label; all of the Lobo mini-series and one-shots from Unamerican Gladiators in April 1993 no longer were "Mature Readers" books.

Does this take place before or after Reverse Flash blips him to main DC where he then becomes Bane's puppet and gets his back broken by Batman but then is suddenly better when he's shoehorned in to the house of heroes club?

The irony may be swooping over my head...but 5G was "averted" but not really, correct? Since Future State, the publications have been steadily drifting towards dual-generation story groups. The only part of 5G that didn't get used (yet) is the JSA portion?

On the one hand opening up a portal to a hell planet straight from the game Doom. On the other hand looks pretty cool in my collection. Who is to say what is right or wrong in this case.

These just arrived from an eBay seller who did a beautiful job packing them. I already had the TPB with #1-11, and this is #14-50. Now I just need to find #12, 13, and the two Annuals to have the complete set, and then I can finally read the entire series for the first time.

DC: we've decided we're going to do 5G after all, except that we're going to write out the current heroes by killing them all off at once instead of aging them up via sliding timeline fuckery (I don't think this is actually what's happening, but it would be funny)

quote:That's all for the future, though. In and of itself, Justice League #75 will focus on the apocalyptic battle between the Justice League and the Dark Army in a dead multiverse. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern (John Stewart), Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Black Canary, and Zatanna will embark on this mission — and only one will return to tell the rest of the universe what has happened. Most of them are being set up for replacement in some manner (Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, John maybe, and Batman) while some others don't really have all that much going on (Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl, Green Arrow) and the rest are sort on the fence though leaning towards the latter.

It feels like we only just got through with Death Metal but I guess it's been over a year so we better kill the Justice League and change the status quo before this house of cards collapses.
