Actually we still have about 7 hours left of this lovely year. You just jinxed everything. Edit: best annual was the elseworld annual for Legends of the Dark Knight called citizen Wayne and imagined Batman in the movie of Citizen Kane.

"I, Magneto, master of magnetism, will now use the lavatory to relieve myself while admiring my magnetic abilities that have been granted on me by nature. for I am Magneto, the most powerful mutant to have ever lived"

Chaos Hippy posted:That's about the whole of it. A magic sword can cut him, but it won't hurt him any more than it hurts anyone else. It's been said that Shazam has a slight edge on Superman in a fistfight because his strength is fuelled by magic, but it's still a mostly even match. Captain Marvel/Shazam was owning Superman pretty hard in Kingdom Come. The whole point of magic sword vs regular sword is that a regular sword wouldn't cut Superman while a magic sword would. The magic part just makes Superman vulnerable.

Magic makes sense in the way that you need a weakness for a being who is pretty much invulnerable, otherwise there wouldn't be a threat to him. Think of magic as something that breaks his super-invulnarable shield. Magic bullets would probably hurt him too.

Mr. Maltose posted:DC Vs. Marvel and JLA/Avengers are two different events, if you're thinking about Cap fighting Batman in the sewers. Never read DC vs Marvel, just JLA/Avengers in which Batman and Cap size each other up and decide to call it a draw.

At least Vertigo books seem to make it out, although I half expect the Unwritten deluxes to stop after a couple. Feel my pain. I am still waiting for DC to release volume 2 of Moench/Jones' Batman.

Rhyno posted:I appreciate everyone's thoughts and concerns. I should clarify that I am not depressed. I am just incredibly upset that my once very close friend was so violently taken from this world. I might be slightly traumatized from seeing her in the coffin as well. My girlfriend has set up a time with her therapist for next week so maybe I can sort out some of these mental issues. Definitely worth it and I recommend talking to your friends/family (if you are close to them) as well. Just talk.

Clearly the 6 year olds need to read Ostrander's Suicide Squad which had the best portrayal of Dr. Light ever.

# ¿ Jan 26, 2017 00:12 |

Edge & Christian posted:I mean technically in the comics Doctor Light was just an ineffectual Justice League villain starting in 1962, then sort of got adopted as the ineffectual Teen Titans villain with the idea that maybe he couldn't stop the adults, but teenagers wouldn't stand a chance. He kept on losing to progressively weaker teams/characters until he was literally defeated by non-superhero children in a backup story. I thought according the Suicide Squad Dr. Light was originally a hero but then someone killed the original hero and used the Dr. Light stuff to become a villain (who ends up getting haunted by the original hero Dr. Light).

If anyone reads the latest Saga and doesn't feel anything, they are officially dead. Like probably have no heartbeat or pulse, which leads me to question on they read the comic in the first place.

Movie rules, there's a lot of good buzz coming out of it and Fox Searchlight already bought the distribution rights for $10.5 million, so check that poo poo out when it hits theaters. So by knowing you am I one degree separated from famous people?

If anyone is losing hope in the USA right now I suggest reading Prez's story in Sandman which can be found in the World's End TPB. Also take hope in the fact that people are protesting and not standing up for this bullshit, and that the ACLU has been receiving record donations (and could always use more money too). Edit: I forgot to mention that yesterday 6 people were killed in a mosque in Quebec City. While I live on the opposite side of the country as a Canadian this hurts really badly. Please do me a favour and tell your loved ones that you love them, play with your pets, give food to a homeless person, donate to a charity or do something good today just to remind the world that there is still good out there.
