That Power Girl is in the role she is in is probably intentional. Yeah, one of the villains in Wonder Twins is a take on Permit Patty - a woman who has a cellphone that allows her to trap people in the Negative Zone, but for some reason she only uses it on innocent black bystanders because they're scary to her. I haven't read One-star Squadron, but the Karen thing is almost certainly intentional.

When exactly does this I Am Batman series take place? The previous Second Son series references the Joker War and the aftermath but they keep saying Batman is dead?

Yes, King is beating the reader over the head with it. So it's either her, or he's setting up some "what a twist!" thing

Tom King is a "what a twist" kinda guy and Human Target is a "what a twist" general concept type of a book.

On the other hand, can Tom King resist the deliciously Tom-King-esque impulse to take a generally sweet and innocent character and turn her into a cold-blooded killer instead?  Tom King cliche vs Tom King cliche: FIGHT

Edge & Christian posted:The first arc of Batman is running generally parallel to Fear State I believe (at least it was advertised/branded as such) and in that storyline Batman/Bruce Wayne was captured by the Scarecrow and the bad guys were pumping out weird misinformation out of a giant flying saucer to make everyone afraid and susceptible to THE MAGISTRATE taking over Gotham. Part of that misinformation was that Batman was dead, so most of the characters in the book are operating under that assumption in the first arc. Ahhhh. I haven't caught up on Fear State yet. Thank you.

The latest issue of Justice League Incarnate... oh boy the villain behind it all hasn't even been given any real characterization to speak of, it's just an ill-defined evil entity that we're supposed to care about because Williamson is retconning it into previous DC events and because Alan Moore created it in his Swamp Thing run

For any Wally West Flash fans, we've got some sad news. Brian Augustyn, editor and sometimes cowriter for about 10 years on The Flash, has passed away today suddenly from a stroke: https://twitter.com/MarkWaid/status/1488648394851639300 By all accounts he was nearly as instrumental in the creative process as Waid on the seminal Flash run.

Oh man I remember Augustyn from the Impact comics. I think him and Waid were good mates who co-wrote a few titles together. That sucks

I'm really enjoying how comic-book-y Justice League Incarnate is. From the superhero idealism, to the way the dialogue is written ("I, Vincent, shall say the name of the person I'm talking to, while stating my intent!") and the multiverse tour. It wouldn't work on another type of book, but in a multiverse romp type story, it really works. Plus, the joke from the last couple of issues, of a DC comics editor being the ultimate evil Darkseid is very funny.

The_Other posted:Finally is anyone else reading One-Star Squadron? I've got kinda mixed feelings about the series. It feels like it's trying to do what Formerly Known as the Justice League did, but with a focus on the current gig economy and an a more dramatic tone. It's the mix of drama and comedy that doesn't really work, but kinda does (it's hard to explain). I also don't like how they have Power Girl working in what is supposed to be a group of C and D list heroes (I also don't like that they have Plastic Man there too). They also have her set up to be the antagonist of the series, which I'm not a fan of. I still remember her run back 10 years ago with Amanda Conner and it being a lot of fun. If you wanna read something like One Star Squadron (low-level heroes doing low-level heroing and being regular joes) I'd recomend "Hero Hotline" it was a DC series from '89t hat lasted 6 issues and I remember it being a fun read. It should be on DC Universe.

We're finally back to everything is real, everything happened, everyone exists and the frontiers are endless! Until the Anti-Bathattan Who Laughs Through Time fulfills his destiny as the middle finger of the Greatest Darkness and slaughters everyone in that spread, but the real question you need to ask is... whose hand is shoved up the butt of the Greatest Darkness? Who's pulling the ultimate evil Dark Omniverse Anti-Strings? STAY TUNED

Whoever predicted that we were getting another Crisis, this is your fault. https://www.cbr.com/dc-announces-dark-crisis-dcu-event/ quote:The plot synopsis for Dark Crisis reads: "In the original Crisis on Infinite Earths by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, the homeworld of Pariah, along with the infinite Multiverse, was obliterated. Now this mad sole survivor has found a way to bring his homeworld and the entire infinite Multiverse back from the dead: Earth-0 must die. An ancient destructive force called the Great Darkness, first appearing in Swamp Thing by Alan Moore and Stan Woch, is the weapon Pariah will wield as he paves a path to rebirth and vengeance. In DC's next big event, Dark Crisis, the heroes left behind must come together to combat this great evil and save the lost Justice League, but what happens when not everyone agrees to join the fight?"

Saw some muttering on Twitter that "DC had better not rehire EVS," there's no risk of that happening, right? Because I feel like DC has been getting some mojo back the past few years, but I wouldn't hesitate to drop them like a frozen potato...

I imagine EVS has burned all his bridges, shat on the ashes scooped up the poo poo covered ashes and flung it at anyone that would even use the words "EVS" and "job" in the same sentence and posted a youtube video showing himself doing all of this while complaining that the lamestream comic book publishers won't hire him.

They’re bringing back pre-crisis EVS before his turn into a right wing chud. Sadly DC always reverts back, so he’ll be at chud status in a year or so.
