Turns out Ryan was trapped in something like what shrinking guys have instead of the speed force. I think he called it the "mass dimension" (no idea if that was made up for this comic) and Ray's schizophrenia was Ryan's voice and his inflat-o hand was Ryan lending him his mass.

When Deathstroke killed him, he was somehow able to send his mind/spirit/sentience to the mass dimension, his only connection back to this dimension was Ray who is the only other human, it seems, who is accessing the mass dimension. It was briefly similar in some respects to the Rick Jones/Captain Marvel kind of deal. The mass dimension dates back to Power of the Atom in 1985, when they tried to update his character by making him face grimdark and conspiracy issues.

quote:

That page is how Ray let Ryan get out, and later Ryan grows Ray's hand back by stealing the mass from Deathstroke's, making them all tiny.


Yup.

It could have been a lot worse as Deathstroke was there to kill Ray, and I'm pretty sure Ryan was more than a little upset at having been run through with a sword.

In this continuity, Deathstroke wanted out of the assassin business and didn't want anyone to remember him, Ray spoiled that by bitching on live TV that he was dedicated to avenging Ryan's death and outed him as the murderer.

That poo poo-eating grin on Ryan's face says to me "I could've killed Deathstroke but this.. this is a much better fate" :v:

Also pretty sure Julius Schwartz would have approved of this!

RIP Mantron, you were too beautiful for this comics continuity.

I keep getting the feeling Mantron was supposed to be a ROM shout out, they both tended to have long conversations with themselves and the head/eyes are almost identical. Also, Mantron is pretty much a one-word description of ROM's physical form.

You could really see Ditko was phoning it in by this time, he retired about six years later though.

Not a very bandied about fact: Steve Ditko worked with Will Murray to create Squirrel Girl. Murray was primarily a pulp fiction magazine enthusiast.

Actually, it's kinda funny how they're shuttling the statue around Brooklyn. It's in Prospect Park now, they're moving it to Barclays Center later, and then it's gonna be at a Bed Bath and Beyond in Sunset Park. It's like when Philly moved the statue of Rocky from the top of the Art Museum steps to the sports arenas and then back outside the Art Museum.

Barclays Center is where the city used eminent domain to kick out the (mostly brown) people in that 'hood out of there to make room for a sporting arena, then promised to build affordable housing that hasn't even materialized after 10 years despite promises from the developer.

That Bed Bath and Beyond in Sunset Park isn't even open yet, and it's in another neighborhood that once was prosperous and semi-diverse but turned to poo poo when the BQE was built right on top of it. Kinda fitting they move it to an out-of-the-way industrial location with zero foot traffic for its last month in NYC.

So yeah, what I'm saying is I can definitely see Cap is was a Hydra agent.

LOL if someone spray paints 'Hydras Greatest Hero' onto the base.

You'd think a guy with so many magic friends could just have one cook up an anti-magic spell for him.

Superman at one point was so bothered about this that he jumped dimensions to ask Doctor Fate after all his magic buddies
on THIS Earth basically said they couldn't help him.



Hey Supes get off the drat satellite my calls to Madagascar aren't going through! :v:

During a battle with aliens that used magic, Dr. Fate temporarily infuses him with all his power so that for a time,
he is effectively invulnerable to magic. He shrugs off magic attacks with ease.

Of course, here's what happens when he just asks him outright:

It's more like "If I hadn't been so worried about my weaknesses I never would have come to your Earth to prevent you from getting jobbed by those alien assholes" as the aliens had powers too tough for Fate to tackle by himself.

If memory serves, a lot of the villains were recently (as of the issue of Deadpool) killed by Scourge during an anti-villain murder parade that Mark Gruenwald wrote in an arc of Captain America.

Sheesh, last time I saw Kubik was an older Avengers issue with Buscema / Palmer art, he looked like a metal version of Marvin the Martian.



It was a pretty weird issue with Steve Rogers as The Captain (the black suit/motorcycle phase) being called to help Dr. Druid's Avengers who were all beaten by the Super Adaptoid, who lured Kubik to Earth so he could copy his reality-altering powers.

Steve literally beats the most powerful being on Earth (at that time) using nothing but logic and exploiting Super-Adaptoid's stupid artificial ego.

It's also revealed that the Super-Adaptoid's powers were literally drawn from a sliver of the original Cosmic Cube, which Kubik removes and replaces back within himself after the fighting's over.

Pretty sure they self-hypnotized themselves into forgetting they looked into the future until some crisis makes it necessary to.

Think that's how they resolved a lot of those 'I saw the future' stories.

But here's another Supes cover that's funny just in how hard it is to explain:



How is Clark Kent doing a live newscast while he's simultaneously kicking the poo poo out of his alter ego?

Also what a great superpower. "I have a rock"

What gets me is TV Kent's almost bored looking face while he's rattling off that spiel.

"Yeah yeah my alter ego is no longer champion of Metropolis, Darkseid wins seat on Metropolis City Council, who gives a poo poo, etc. etc."

Also looks like Blackrock is giving Supes super diarrhea.

Still, Jack Abel (RIP) inks are always nice and crisp.

There was a golden age superman comic I read years ago where Superman became giant, for whatever convoluted reason it was, and to prove he wasn't a giant hosted an interview with himself as Clark Kent where he just kept switching back and forth between each position at super speed.

Which also meant he had to change clothes constantly.

He also built a giant set so noone would know they were both gigantic

Ahhh golden age :allears:

So going by this he's switching back to Clark Kent, reading a thousandth of a syllable of his newscast, then zooming back to getting blasted by diarrhea rays by Blackrock, then zooming back to the TV studio to utter another thousandth of a syllable, making sure his facial expressions of boredom and pain keep matching up.
