The difference is that Meredith Gran (and most of the side story artists) knows how to frame a comic book, whilst Ryan North doesn't. Here's an obsessively :goonsay: set of examples from a single issue of the main series:


Over the course of three pages, PB announces that she has a "Time Machine" three times; firstly with a play on words which needs additional dialogue to explain the joke, secondly with a proper magic device but to nobody in particular, and thirdly she shows that to F&J on another page, because she was announcing it to nobody, and now it's using a shitload more words to do the exact same thing. It's redundant as gently caress, and doesn't flow like a comic should.


Meanwhile, in the space of just three panels, Anthony Clark (Nedroid) does the same sort of joke but infinitely better, using comic framing and space, because that's how comic books are supposed to work.

Comparing anyone to Anthony Clark is sort of unfair though

It's pretty amazing how if you take the SWEU as a whole the entire rebellion would have been irreversibly hosed, forever, if any character who ever appeared in the movies had decided to take a left turn instead of a right at a random hallway or overslept an hour on any given day.

Franklin's been around since the 60's, though he was kept comatose for a while to seal his powers. Sue got pregnant again in the 80's, but since the child was conceived in the Negative Zone, difficulties arose, Reed wasn't able to convince Doctor Octopus to temporarily stop being evil in time, and the baby was stillborn.

Then shenanigans happened in the 90's, and a teenage Valeria came from an alternate future where she'd been raised by Sue and Dr. Doom. It turned out Franklin had unconsciously sent her to that alternate universe when she "died." Then he and Val combined their powers to resurrect Galactus so he could get the Ultimate Nullifier from Abraxas, and when it was used, Val reverted back to Sue's womb, the pregnancy started over again, and this time with Doom's help, she was delivered successfully.

I don't have the panels handy but last week's Injustice was hilarious. WW going full blown mental and kicking the poo poo out of Superman, with the last panel being her breaking his arm while Bats just has a HUGE loving :smug: grin is hilarious. Even better, Catwoman is just like :cripes: "How did I even GET involved this bullshit?"

Wait, I thought the Injustice comic was all a prequel to the game, and in the game WW's full on Supes' side.
