That twist in Dark Knights of Steel was amazing. I wish Tom Taylor nothing but happiness and fortune. And I wish this could be an ongoing.

It rules and I've enjoyed every entry. The vampire one on the other hand kinda ended on a wet fart. It started strong too.

I was so bummed about the ending to DC vs Vampires. It's very not good but I was so on board with the rest.

People are getting real mad about a backup story in the current Joker mini, because people are dumb. That’s all.

Mr Hootington posted:What the gently caress. I took a look at the pages and he wasn't pregnant. He barfed up the clayface looking thing, he'd swallowed it somehow after a fight with Zatanna. so people are mad about something that didn't even happen. Surprise! Comics "fans" are the worst. The story is weird, I don't know if it's good, but it certainly isn't what the chuds are saying it is.

She gets vamped because she's still part human and ends up becoming this part plant/part vampire thing At this point, I'd rather they swerve into the gonzo and have the other vampire Earth drop in on this one and just go ham.

I got the Mark Waid Flash Omnibus v1 as a gift for Christmas, and I thought I'd read the post crisis Flash volume on DCUI up to when he takes over. These Flash stories are like a fever dream. Absolutely batshit mental.

Nystral posted:Was this the era were Wally was like “gently caress everyone else I need to be paid!” Or is that a fever dream I’m having? Arc 1, he wins the lottery and meets Vandal Savage. Then he meets two different trios of Soviet Speedsters, one set of whom defect. Then he meets an AI that tries to kill him on a military base. He shacks up with an older married lady scientist (she's 32, he's 20, how scandalous!). The woman moves in with him in his huge mansion, as does his Mum because his dad turned out to be a Manhunter sleeper agent during the Millennium event. Her jealous husband takes a gently caress tonne of steroids and drugs to make himself into a speedster called Speed Demon and he fights the Flash. Then Vandal Savage starts selling an addictive drug that makes you a speedster. Around this time the lady scientist and Flash break up, but her, the husband, and him all stay friends. Then he meets a 515 lb black fella called The Chunk who has a black hole in him that he can use to transport people to a pocket mad max dimension. He convinces him to become a hero and Chunk uses his powers to make money by teleporting waste to the pocket dimension. At some point around this his mum loses all the lottery money on the stock market and he gets kicked out of his mansion, which Chunk then buys. His mum then becomes Chunks secretary and Chunk's freeloading family move in to the mansion. The Flash has some kind of breakdown and runs far without saying where and goes missing presumed dead. The gang go looking for him in a small West Coast town where a cryptid called the Porcupine Man is harassing the locals. Turns out that's the Flash full of cactus needles. During all this The Flash is shagging about seven different women, a lot of whom are models. Oh I also forgot the annual where he meets a fella in the back of a Chinese restaurant and goes to China and helps a guy out and learns a deadly technique. The Chinese guy's sister also fucks the Flash. And that's where I'm up to. About twenty more issues till Waid takes over I think.

Ah, THAT's where Wally the ladies' man comes from that would get referenced a lot but never shown after. I never read any of the Messner-Loebs stuff but that does check out. He also cut off Diana from her support structure and she had to work at Big Belly Burger or O'Shaughnessy's or Wacky Taco whatever DC fast food chain it was.

When I was a kid picking up random issues of random comics at the local magazine/news store I picked up some of these issues of Flash not really knowing anything. Your description has given me very vivid flashbacks.

It's wild how all over the place it is. When you compare it to say post crisis wonder woman or superman, where they had clear long running plans between Byrne and Perez on where to go for at least a few arcs.

In one of the crossover events he's in Cuba with the Chunk and Fidel Castro, but he ditches Chunk to go to a state sponsored 21st birthday party with Fidel.

William Messner-Loebs invented Linda Park and the modern iteration of Pied Piper so I will hear no naysaying about him. Fast Friends and Nobody dies are some of the best single flash issues ever. Also the random Rogues party Wally crashed issue was great. Two Tone Shoes fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Jan 7, 2023 |

Just read the Flash annual from last year all about Linda's hilarious self-insert Flash fanfiction and it's great. Wally is at his best when he's either/and running fast or loving Linda. (And now his kids.)

MIDWIFE CRISIS posted:Stupid question: are there any prominent sports teams in the DCU? I know Gotham Knights is a baseball team. According to the wiki: Baseball: Gotham Knights Metropolis Meteors Blüdhaven Bloodhounds Star City Rockets Coast City Angels Central City Stars Gotham City Eagles Basketball: Gotham Guardsmen Gotham Knights Metropolis Generals Gotham Gators Metropolis Monarchs Gotham Goliaths Metropolis Spartans Coast City Clippers *So either the Knights have had a lot of name changes, people just forgot or Gotham is big enough for a couple teams. Football: Gotham Rogues (Dark Knight Rises) Gotham Knights (It feels like Knights are actually supposed to be the football team, but who knows) Rapid City Monuments Gotham Goliaths Metropolis Meteors Smallville Crows (High School team) Boston Colonials Gotham City Wildcats Hockey: Opal City Corsairs Metropolis Mammoths Gotham Goliaths Star City Stars Also in the interests of edification the St. Louis Cardinals and New Jersey Devils were listed, but they're actual teams.

I always thought I nice idea for a one and done story would have Wally come to Gotham to watch his Central City baseball team play....I guess the Knights....and during the game a heist occurs and him and Bats have to team up to solve it in the stadium. More sport related hijinx take place.
