Is this 'commanding dead things to rise' before or after the DC Black Lantern stuff?

After, but it's nothing like Blackest Night and it' snot exactly a unique concept

I figured, but the "RISE!" panels still look straight out of Blackest Night.

Oh my god, I was just about to post this. Comic book artists need to figure out what the gently caress bullets look like, because that is inexcusable.

This was always one of my favorite "badass" moments in Superman comics.

Backstory for the 12 of you who haven't seen this before, Mongul (big yellow guy) ambushed Superman with a flower that takes over your mind and leaves you basically comatose, while giving you dreams of your heart's most desired things.

He didn't appreciate it.



I was a wee lad when this had come out, and that "Burn" moment still gives me chills.

Also, a page or two before that, where Superman wakes up from it. Robin's expression was basically the same as mine when I was reading this issue.



Wasn't this the plot line of a 'Justice League' cartoon episode?

The cartoon adapted the comic. Its also the only adaption of his work that Original Writer likes.

Yeah, that's what I meant.. I realize the comic is much older than the early 00's cartoon.

If it didn't act fast, we wouldn't get amazing panels of Alfred kicking the poo poo out of Superman.

I do love when other characters' rogues galleries run into Superman and realize just how hopelessly out of their weight class they are. I remember an episode of Batman: The Animated Series where Batman was sick or injured or something and Superman covered for him in Gotham by wearing Batman's costume and pretending to be him.

He then ran into Bane and the Riddler (who seemed to be planning their version of the event that ended with Bane breaking Batman) and kicked his rear end so thoroughly that Bane was completely demoralized and Riddler was left utterly baffled.

Funny enough, I watched that clip on YouTube last night. I seriously don't recall The Riddler's design being like that, I remember the green suit with bowler hat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlcXA_iokPc

You really think she's doing anything unprotected? She's Bat-family. That suit is obviously covered with a layer of flexible fast-hardening microscopic nano Bat-polymer that cushion the blow and leave behind only the fresh scent of pine JUSTICE.

I hate when they make Flash that fast. If he was really that quick, every other hero on the planet would be useless. He could simultaneously prevent every accidental death at once. He could end world hunger, he could wreck every terror cell on the planet. He could gather and disarm every IED in the desert. There would be no more conflict. Slow him the gently caress down.

They never made enough of a distinction between the colors to me. I feel like most - maybe not all - members of either Yellow or Red could fit into either camp. Someone like Scarecrow should be Yellow for sure, but some Yellows are feared because of their ferocity, so they could be Red.. Like those two Yellow goons could easily be in Red outfits and you'd just accept it.
And equally, Reds are pretty universally feared, so they could be Yellow. Then seeing a Green Lantern can be a symbol of hope, so they could be Blue. I dunno, I like the idea of the spectrum but the rules seem half baked. Or maybe I just don't get it. I haven't read DC since Blackest Night back in the day.

Woah, hey, don't poo poo on the poor guy. If all the other Disney ducks are any indication, he's just got a horrible speech impediment. He can't help it.

(Also, as someone with a small child who watches the Disney channel constantly.. I have to agree.)

good day for a bris posted:

Immortal Hulk deals with the fact that the Gamma Irradiated characters just can't die. Like hulk, they always come back. Betty was shot by Bushwhacker and reverted to her old Harpy form, but Red cuz of Red She Hulk. She spent the issue graphically offing mercs and ruminating on violence, and her relationship with Bruce. When she finally gets to Bruce, his limbs and eyes had been destroyed by the weird hand face Abomination's (Rick Jones) acid. As he was begging for help, she instead ripped out his heart and ate it.

That's.. wild. Jesus. Thanks for the info.

DivineCoffeeBinge posted:

The non-spoilery version - read Immortal Hulk. It is like nothing else being published by Marvel. It is transcendentally weird and spooky and unsettling. And it's also really, really good.

I'm not actively reading comics right now other than random trades but I'll keep it on my radar. I mostly just like to peek at threads like this and see what they're up to.

Thank you for posting this, I had this pop into my mind for some reason a few weeks ago and couldn't find a good run of the entire sequence. I've been a huge Green Arrow fan for years and this was during my comic buying hey day before I had to drop it for financial reasons..

If you're wondering why Green Arrow's pissed at Batman, it's because Bats didn't think he was a big enough threat to warrant making a contingency plan if he went rogue.

I love Green Arrow and this is my favorite thing ever.
