lotus circle posted:We Are Robin seems to be about the idea of Robin as a symbol of heroism and goodwill to young teens in Gotham, the same way Batman is a symbol against corruption and crime. If Gotham Academy is "Harry Potter but in Gotham City", then We Are Robin is looking to be "The Goonies but in Gotham City" from what I gather. Finally, the time is right for my Robynz pitch, where Robin becomes an urban legend type character that inspires several hip Urban teens to band together under his inspirational banner, to rid their community of street level crimes. Ricky is the experienced team leader who loves dancing and gymnastics. Battle Style: HipHopoeira. JZone is the brash one who skateboards. Battle style: Red berzerker TimmyD is the smartmouth gamer nerd. Battle style: tactical espionage action. Damien 'Diablo' Diaz is the Hispanic latchkey kiddo, barely in 6th grade but always looking to impress JZone. Battle style: bratitude And then you have the Twynz, Cass and Steff, the tech-savvy GrrrlPower feminists who keep the crew together. Robynz. We don't die. We multiply.

The Goon posted:It's like you're a psychic. Can you get me next week's lotto numbers as well? This sounds like a perfect fast-track project to go alongside Fox's GOTHAM! Realtalk: Since NU52 was a last minute dash to keep Warner from shutting down the comics publishing thing that DC does, it's no small surprise that the continuity was bonered from day one. Now they can go back and say a Brainiac did it to excuse all the fuckups. DC just doesn't have the editorial might to make sure their poo poo's in line. And their experiment with an Ultimateized line (All-Star, then Earth One) have been uneven and way too spaced out to be worthwhile. Basically, trying to give comics a coherency akin to someone's life is a fool's errand. Better to treat it as a Soap Opera style stumble into newer, more shocking, developments.

Shameless posted:You assume correctly. The Giger-knockoff villains were pretty awesome. And for some reason I really liked Sparx and her Original Character Not-BeastHulk (do not steal) Uncle. I'm actually a bit saddened that's not a convergence one-shot (to the back of the neck to steal the sweet, sweet pineal fluid).

A secondary reading of 100 Years has to do with a central event (the banana farm massacre) that actually happened to Garcia Marquez in his own youth. The Mexican Magical Realism stuff that surrounds the town (folks with 99% identical names, folks dying resurrecting casually, a child born with a tail, an insomnia plague and so on) is a distraction from the real horror of man's inhumanity towards other men -- and for what? For control of fruits to sell to other countries. For profits. Understanding that, and unlocking the implications of it, is an apocalyptic event that is powerful and formative. The novel effectively ends when one of the Buendia lineage comes to grips with the sheer importance of the massacre, realizing that all the nonsense of the town is unimportant given the bloodshed. Haven't had a chance to pick up Swamp Thing, but if there's a kind of kernel of truth thing going on with the run recently, I could see them invoking 100 Years to tease out how traumatic it may be.

Zero Hour was kind of a crisis crisis that brought a bunch of dangling threads together, like Monarch being not-monarch due to time trickery! It was one of my few TPBs as a kid and I mostly liked it thanks to Waverider and watching time fall apart and also evil Green Lantern. 0 Hour was such a limp, wet thpppppbbbppht that the most exciting thing about it was the last 10 pages (where Hal demakes the universe and gets shot by Ollie and then everyone relives the universe' birth) and the 'altered' timeline at the end with a bunch a DC errata. Well, that and the JSA getting punked like the old farts that they are. Heart attacks for everyone! Things that happen during it that mean something maybe I guess? LEGIONAIRRES become REBELS! Power Girl is power pregnant (and gives power birth). Batman ripped apart by TimeGoatse , gets to chill with Joe Chill. The Flash from the future dies running straight into a time anomaly. Hawkman supermerges into POSSIBLY A GOD (no relevance to the ZH plot at all). Guy Gardner gets red Bloodlines armor and a gun grows out of his arm and now he's Guy Gardner WARRIOR because he's actually a half Vuldarian supersoldier. Some teen (Blaster or Boomer or MAX DAMAGE is hyped to hypesville, turns out to be a plot macguffin then no one cares about him ever again). Stuff that actually mattered: Half Jordan, as Parallax, dies while trying to reboot the multiverse.

Edge & Christian posted:L.E.G.I.O.N. (the 20th century team run by Vril Dox) become REBELS, the Legion of the 30th century gets rebooted by Mark Waid (the first time) LEGIONNAIRES was basically young clone versions of the LEGION, right? Or something? quote:Was this covered by Zero Hour? I thought it was part of Gerard Jones's post-Giffen/DeMatteis run on Justice League __________. quote:He doesn't die, and is back the following month for Zero Month. He doesn't 'die' until Final Night a few years later. As a young teen with no disposable income, who couldn't follow storylines of the era, it looked like they had offed Parallax there.

I can't believe how much of a wet fart the Future's End subplots have been. Fiddy Sue? Godlike being that can end braniac in a second? Grabs a DNA vault with a stealth metahuman mom and fucks off to eat French fries. Frankenstein? Gets Nth Metal AIDS from Hawkman's arm, gets all the feels, dies in a lab writing bad goth poetry. This motivates Amethyst to go save gemworld. Somehow. Missing Superman? Stops being a superhobo and returns in time to stop brainiac. Could have spent his time more productively had he walked across the world for peace or something. E2 racism? Conveniently not an issue anymore since GuantanamE2 was nuked. Lois Lane fucks off after she finds Not Robin and I guess never publishes her Pulitzer level find. Man. DC really needs to let this 'We'll do 52 again, but more awesomer!' Boner go.

MonsterEnvy posted:I think it was the opposite... Whomever said Convergence was a Countdown:Arena knockff hit it square on the head. The way it was sold made it sound like they would get to close off plot threads in a last hurrah, then blip off to the Convergence event. What I've read is instead 'we've been abducted from our homes and forced to live in a bubble city for a year, completely divorced from the settings and people that gave our stories context and meaning... Hey there's some random folks, let's punch them!' Its very Kid Smashing Toys together. Mo wonder they called it the band-aid.

DudeDeuce posted:And as a comic book guy that got into comics when the very popular Death of Superman story was introduced - I was SO HAPPY to see my Superman back. I did like Lois being his Oracle. That whole trust aspect of their relationship was sweet. Though the dome dropping/being recharged Juuuuuust as he's hit with napalm was a little too  for me.

MonsieurChoc posted:There was a short Amethyst cartoon in the DC Nation Shorts. It's... alright, I guess? The Prince as a skeleton is kind of interesting. Amethyst was basically WB doing the prototype to Star vs. The Forces of Evil, then throwing it in the trash. It's such a good take on a D-list Crisis casualty that of course it went nowhere and was shelved.

Codependent Poster posted:The Convergence mini-series is absolutely dreadful. Though I quite like that the God Planet hungers and is basicially Mogolactus. Meanwhile all the minis happen in some weird Fanficty space that kind of picks up in 199x, but doesn't (but does). And I think we're all in for a shock when Telos has to rebel against Brainiac, or something like that, in the shocking finale that will shake the DC universe to the core! It's like a clumsy way to ape Moore's Supremacy concept. But boy howdy will it make for an awesome game. DC could have quite the profitable DLC expansion season for Infinite Crisis with this!
