Edge & Christian posted:Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but what sort of distinction are you making? Because from the original announcement of Future's End in December: So wait? Forever Evil is supposed to last five years? And when it ends we will have jumped five years into the future? Why the hell can we not have stories that happen in the present, not some reconstituted "Secret Origins" type zero year, or a villains month? It almost feels like at times new 52 is an ongoing Elseworlds that doesn't end.

coconono posted:Please don't mess with Earth-2, DC. Its doing just fine orbiting your clusterfuck New-52. I will be honest and say that I was not at all thrilled to hear about Earth 2 being made into a younger cast. But from first issue onward they haven't been afraid to twist things around and have really horrible poo poo happen to people but always keeping the context of heroism and generally being more fantastical about the possibilities it can go. Its a super solid book even with Robinson gone, wish he hasn't left though. One of the best distinctions in my opinion was giving the opportunity of Bruce and Clark to grow up together AND not murder off the Kents for no real reason.

Madkal posted:I actually quite liked Infinite Crisis even though it was dumb as gently caress. I think once you get through all the stupidity there is actually a good story there - somewhere. Final Crisis on the other hand fell apart for me at the end. It didn't help that I was following it through the floppies and I didn't buy all the tie ins so when the final issue happened I had no idea who giant space story-vampire was, or why I should really care. The fact that the final issue also told as a flashback annoyed the gently caress out of me. The Day of Vengeance tie in was an excellent story done by Bill Willingham and would lead to the Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle. Shame they couldn't keep the same team with the Shadowpact follow up. Infinite Crisis wanted to be COIE sooooo hard it was laughably bad. The reasoning as to why poo poo had become so grimdark (reality punches), to the freaking just grisly violence perpetrated on D-List Teen Titans,(poor poor One Armed McGee), to killing off Superboy after all that awesome character growth, Space Goatse, GIANT PURPLE DEATH RAY, Superboy Prime, Earth-2 Lois somehow supposed to be saved by Earth-2 itself (and not cause she's you know old). The good things that came out of Infinite Crisis were 52, SBP, and Anti-Monitor being left around to play with for the Sinestro Corps War, and of course every time I whine about Infinite Crisis the amazing thing that was Edited Crisis #4 to make it all better. Also the Villains United one shot had the best setup for the Battle of Metropolis and a terrifying Doomsday that we never got to see throw down against the B-Team of superheroes.

goldenoreos posted:Man Futures End is turning out to be a dud. #2 felt like a boring read from start to finish. An "event" title from DC that they pull once again out of their asses with no set up or prologue is a dud. I guess its a step up from just being complete poo poo. Tomasi is pretty much the only one I'd trust to bring in a Robin since he's been writing the Batman and _________ forever now. He really gets how to write a team dynamic and gives Bruce and supporting cast the emotional room to breathe and flesh out when needed. Its been one of the most solid ongoings since Nu 52 started.

So apparently even in Nu52 Earth 2, "Where there is a Superman, Pa Kent must be murdered" such is the way of things. That being said Earth 2 continues to be DC's most consistently good/really good book, along with WW, Batman and(insert name here).

Teenage Fansub posted:Anyone reading Futures End know what the gently caress is going on with that Fariday guy's storyline? Apart from what has to be Jeff Lemire's bit with Frankenstein/Hawkman/Amethyst/Atom space shipping around (which is actually fun), this issue was incomprehensible. As much as I HATE Finch's art, I will say his pencils look way better than how it looks inked and colored. That Swamp Thing sans antlers is pretty great.

Earth 2 was pretty drat great save for the NOT Superman (Bizzaro) crumbling into dust because he's allergic to ?????(He's allergic to Black Superman!  ) Did think it was kind of a crap copout to show it wasn't really Clark doing all that heinous poo poo but I guess it has to differentiate itself from Injustice somehow.

Waterhaul posted:99% of the image is dumb but starts off with the hilarious bit of "DC won't make Wonder Woman film, see how great Marvel are for letting Black Widow be a supporting character". Not really man, she was pretty much his sidekick costar in that movie. Falcon and everyone else were support, it could have easily been Falcon going on broventures with Steve in the Mall and to the Army base and whatnot. They chose Widow to be his equal and have her even kinda go toe to toe against Bucky.

vegetables posted:I also think Earth 2 is much better under Taylor, but can see why people who didn't agree would be frustrated as it's more or less a completely different comic at this point. I've felt for a while that the story was a bit too big for a single book to handle, so am glad to see it breaking out into a 5 books a month sort of deal. In theory yeah but it seems super rushed with no clear focus, 5 a month doesn't lend confidence to the book at all. Especially when you're bringing in a bajillion other people to now add to what has been of late two solid writers building a world and now racing to the finish line so it can become Nu JSA or whatever. I loved Robinson's abrupt run that was giving new twists to Golden Age characters, I hated it at first just the idea but it totally won me over. When Taylor came aboard it was definitely different but still had that feel somewhat of Robinson's until he got way too bogged down in ensuring there was always going to be a Batman and Superman somehow along with Apokolips always seemingly doing another doomsday invasion every other week.

redbackground posted:I can't think of anyone who can just make that happen when they want. I'm sure heavy magic users could probably do it if they really needed to, but more than likely at great personal cost. Marvel has/had Elixir, but I don't know if his powers went quite that far. The Spectre can, that's how Ollie came back after being blown up to literal bits. Lazurus pits can restore but according to Batman and ............ only one can bring the dead back to life without some kind of monkey paw consequence.

Dr. Hurt posted:I'm pretty sure the Spectre could too, if only to kill them again horribly for some crime. Oh yeah it was Parallax wasn't it? But Spectre still can bring people back from the dead, if I am not mistaken again he did it during that whole mini of where it was revealed Vandal Savage was the biblical Cain. Also that Quagmire villaness from the Obsidian Age arc of JLA brought them back to life in order to kill them again. Does being able to spin the Earth backwards to reverse time count?

Waterhaul posted:Here is your annual DC Crisis/Bandaid/Continuity Fix. My eyes glazed over and my brain read this as THE MULTIVERSITY DONE RIGHT! (as said by Dan Didio) The only saving grace I could possibly see this having is if Superboy-Prime appears and reality punches everything to normal, or just kills everyone into a meaty fine red mist whilst complaining how much the Nu-52 is hackneyed and terrible. This is also why I really hate DC events these days there's like fourteen writers jammed into this poo poo, there's no unified direction and every one is going to be clamoring for their own voice to be heard just loving sloppy and the epitome of throwing as much poo poo onto the wall to see what will stick. But hey I actually enjoyed SG:1, so the ultimate reveal that Telos is Gould Baal will be welcomed by me, and can only be stopped by Colonel O'Neal.

Dark_Tzitzimine posted:In which way? Convergence is another crack the concept behind Countdown Arena. In the shallow way that now only after GMOs Multiversity is put out in single issue formats each about a different universe. But you and most everyone has a better grasp on it since I didn't read any of the Countdowns only what was posted in the funny thread or previous DC threads about how loving horrible it was. So I stayed away. If it is going to be another Countdown:Arena there definitely needs to be someone screaming "I'LL KILL YOU TO DEATH!!!" or something similar to that. (preferably Superboy-Prime)

When did Taylor exit the series? It was right around the introduction of Grand DadBat. I attribute it to Future's End is when it all started going to hell having the time skip involve Earth 2 people. This is just all of that poo poo just blossoming into its lovely fruition.

Earth 2 has plummeted to poo poo since Futures End was shoved into its tail pipe. Having Constantine show up and wait and watch people die even ones that the story would focus on for a couple of issues seemed damned pointless, much like all of the 40 people doing Future's End: Earth 2: The Search for more Money. That whole mandate kinda ruined the whole potential that book had in its world building and establishing characters.
