New52 Lois retires into obscurity after Clark Kent (new52 Superman) and Superman (Lois&Clark Superman) are seen together and she becomes a laughingstock for her "story of the century" being publicly "disproven." She dyes her hair, changes her name to Cat Grant, and starts a media company in a new city when suddenly Supergirl moves to town.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:It was more like the Park Slope or Williamsburg neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Brooklyn itself is sprawling and huge and diverse, with beautiful, upscale areas like Brooklyn Heights, and areas with more poverty and crime that haven't experienced the hipster renaissance that comes with gentrification. It's basically what people who have never been to Brooklyn think of when they think of Brooklyn.

Bob Harras has a demonstrated preference for going "get it out the door, if the artists can't get it done on time get more artists." As evinced by the late '90s X-Men issues with eight different artists on a single issue.

redbackground posted:Yeah, for some reason Firestorm and Cap were all wrapped up in the Checkmate/Squad scene. It makes more sense with Captain Atom, what with the whole "The military is inventing this whole superhero persona for you (as a way to explain away those Charlton stories) while also sending you out to do military poo poo and kill terrorists and poo poo" setup he had at the time; there was a lot of interplay between the whole military shadow ops thing he had going and Waller's Task Force X and the like. Detective Bullock being one of the higher-ups in Checkmate (which spins out of Vigilante!) is what blows my mind, personally.

If you know the Phantom Stranger was Judas Iscariot he stops being a loving stranger. Like, I actually really liked that book and thought it was surprisingly well-done, but it still kinda missed a big chunk of what I consider to be the point of the character.

ElNarez posted:I'm assuming it's the Speed Force. Whatever that means. The narration seems to indicate that this is the case - that whenever Wally's heart is getting overstressed that the Speed Force speeds him up to "time stands still" levels to give him a chance to calm down and lower his heartrate. Also Gotham Academy continues to delight.

Two Tone Shoes posted:Yes, though the last thing the Speed Force and Wally West needed was a new loving power. Agreed, though at least it makes a degree of thematic sense; we've already seen speedsters instinctively speeding up to the point where everything seems to be standing still in response to a threat that they were not consciously aware of (I'm thinking specifically of a Flash issue where - I think this was pre-Crisis Barry even, but I might be getting it confused with a similar Wally story - was in a movie theater when a gunman decided to shoot up the place and suddenly everything stopped and he was all 'hey what's this little feeling in the back of my neck oh poo poo it's a bullet'), so at least it's extrapolating from things we've already seen Flashes do as opposed to a brand-new out-of-nowhere deal. These are the things I tell myself to justify the time spent reading comics I found disappointing.

Two Tone Shoes posted:The gunman in the theater was Wally. But that's not this. That's just how normal superspeed would be perceived. This is specifically time magically stopping because the Speed Force is being weird because his heart is acting up. Existing in what feels like frozen time is a pretty typical Flash visual storytelling device but that's different from "My heart's bad so now time stops." Like I said earlier, my interpretation is that the Speed Force is speeding Wally up whenever his heart rate gets too high to give him a chance to calm down and thus lessen the risk of a heart attack (after he's in action after the initial time stop he even comments that his heart rate slowed and things started moving again, IIRC (E: just checked, yeah, he says "as my heart rate fell, the world kicked back into gear")), which is why I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt that this is just an extrapolation on the "Speed Force slows everything down because the speedster's life is in danger" schtick we've seen in action before. Eh, YMMV I suppose.

I know you said you have an issue with older comics' prose stylings, but it's Kirby; his art has an energy to it that can carry the weight of the purplest of prose.

McCloud posted:Is he some sort of Dredd knockoff/pastiche/precursor? The first version of the character debuted in 1966; he was one of the Charlton Comics characters that Alan Moore wanted to use for Watchmen but when DC said no he turned him into the Comedian. The 1980s Peacemaker was loving crazy, a super-rich dude who founds a group called the "Pax Institute" to promote world peace and also develop nonlethal weaponry and goes to fight dictators and such but eventually realizes that his whole peace-through-violence schtick is actually a manifestation of mental illness brought on by the fact that his dad was the commandant of a Nazi death camp. Then he starts hallucinating the ghost of his dead Nazi war criminal father haunting him and criticizing him, starts getting more violent, starts killing people, and believes that the ghosts of all the people he's killed live in his helmet and offer him advice. I am not making any of that poo poo up. Comics are amazing.

radlum posted:Is Mr Miracle as good as Vision was? I've been trying to give it a chance. I don't think we'll be able to judge Mister Miracle until the story is complete and we see if King succeeds in pulling off the story he's trying to tell - I suspect he will, but I've been wrong before. If he sticks the landing, though, I'd say it will easily be on par, because as has been said, the sense of impending doom and the dread it generates virtually drips off the page. It's really, really good. I don't think I understand what the hell is happening, mind you, but that doesn't detract from the story. Which is an odd thing to say, I know, but it's true.
