I'm guessing Flash is doing some sort of wind resistance kinda thing, or he's transport for the pieces as mentioned above.

I'm just getting kinda tired of Batman outdoing everyone and judo flipping Jesus cause he's the best thing ever and no one can ever smoke him cause he's BATMAN and that's just how the universe rolls.

The giant bat symbol is hilarious and reminds me of the bat explosive gel from Arkham.

Meh, in this context it's pretty clear he's only capable of doing this because of the combined help of the Justice League.

They could invite Magneto and his Asteroid M.

What ever happened to the orbiting base he built in Hickman's run? It was parked next to the space ship Johnny stole from Annihilus.

It's been awhile since I read it, but I thought everything they had in space got blowed up real good when they were trying to stop the celestials from destroying earth.

This is an awful lot of legal analysis for a story where a criminal defense attorney argues a civil case.

The reason people like Batman vs. Superman fights is because, even though we know Lex Luthor is a villain, deep down we are all more like Lex than we are like Superman and we just want to see the alien get beaten by our obvious human superiority. ~~U.S.A.! U.S.A!~~ HUMANS! HUMANS!

Anyway, here's another fight from the same issue of Injustice.

I suddenly want to know what B.O.O.M. stands for

Wisdom of Solomon definitely wasn't there when he (game plot spoiler) questioned Superman's methods. Also I like how the sound effect is THOOM.

Yes, the arc I'm talking about started in #35, though a lot of good things have been said about the run from #17-#34 also.

Lemire's run (starts at 17) is great, and I say this as someone whose only prior experience with the character is TV show. It's a little different from the show, but it also introduces Diggle into the comic.

I'm referring to the first trade collection especially, up to the end of the initial villain.

He's very much a mixed bag. He writes Etrigan like a 3rd grader's first poem. But I liked both trades decently enough, and I'm not sure if Oliver Queen would have come back from the dead if Kevin Smith hadn't wanted to write it.

I'm not positive, but I don't think I've ever read a comic with Vision in it. I did see his episodes of the not lovely Avengers cartoon that got canceled so they could have a lovely one instead.

Oh goddamnit. I keep skipping over Sandman panels because I'm still working my way through the tradebacks, and you lay that on me!

It's not your fault. I don't expect you to spoiler a several year old comic. It's just ffffffffff , you know?

That is no where near the most shocking thing in the last half of Sandman, so don't fret too much. Also the most recent panels posted are from literally the first issue.

I'm reading about Top 10 and having trouble seeing the appeal. The Justice League analogues are pedophiles- how witty! It sounds like an extended in-joke with Moore's typical love of the grim and quirkily mentally dysfunctional taken to excess.

Man never mind Galacta, when are they bringing Ares back?

Have they got some kind of black-list of characters Bendis took into New Avengers, like Ares and Sentry and ... well Ronin was just like, Clint in a new suit, right? But still I want Ares back, man.

Ronin was originally Echo, I believe. I think all those characters were killed by Bendis himself though.

Ronin came back! Then Blade took off the mask and went back to just being Blade.

I meant Bendis killed Echo, in addition to the other two mentioned. But Blade should have stuck around as the "Stupendous Spider-Person" or whatever that cheap knock off Spider-Man costume was called.

Namor and Black Panther have a (pause for effect) complicated history. Each is technically, but not necessarily morally because loving comics, responsible for 9/11 level attacks on each other's countries multiple times.

Stabbed with a sacred knife then kicked off a platform several kilometers in the sky and then trapped on a planet about to be blown up with an antimatter bomb.

And he still gets away.

That's pretty god damned true. Him and Reed are the people I'm most curious about what happens to them by the end of Secret Wars, since almost everyone else I give a drat about already has an announced solo title or is part of a team book. (I'm also curious about Loki).

Ah, the neophyte. You still think the Civil War comic is worth half a poo poo.

While I respect the imagery, what the hell benefit would Superman get from holding Captain America's Shield? Batman I'd get, Flash maybe because his powers are basically weird physics and so are the shield's, but the only reason for Superman to use the shield is if it can do something he can't, so what does the shield bring to his table?

Hah! The true answer to "why is evil a thing?" is no doubt much more complicated, but as far as I'm concerned the immoral might as well exist for the sole purpose of making good people look awesome when they gently caress them over. Obviously not having to put up with them at all would be ideal, but as long as it's necessary might as well look at the bright side. They're like zombies! Sure, it really sucks having them around, but at least some fun can be had.

Not systematically but that's totally unfair(even from himself) and ignores that (A) those specific people will never hurt anyone ever again and (B) justice.
