I think Young Justice is supposed to be a separate imprint, right? So it must be another Earth... ...At least I hope so, because Conner Kent coming back sets off all kinds of alarms in my head that something bad might happen to Jon Kent (besides being written by Bendis heyoooo  ) because DC doesn't like multiple characters using one hero name.

I know that, I meant something bad. Like dying, or a heel turn, or getting back on that ship and heading to space forever; something that'd eliminate the (non-)issue of having two Superboys around

Teenage Fansub posted:Didn't he leave Miles on a new team to replace Shield, headed up by Leonardo Da Vinci from Hickman's S.H.I.E.L.D., and Marvel's now straight ignoring it? I'd've read that That was Riri in Iron Man but yes. He did however end Spider-Man's plot with a new Sinister Six mid-fight with Miles falling off a helicarrier and then getting laid up in a hospital in an incredibly unsubtle nod to his own near-death brush with MRSA.

Teenage Fansub posted:The rumour was that he'd be relaunched as Spy-D, but I think him contemplating not being called Spider-Man any more was in Bendis' last issue. No, it was earlier. He contemplates quitting right before Bombshell calls him to save her (or Ganke tells him he's got to save her, I forget) so he gets to do the old "just when I thought I was out..." routine before taking off

TheHan posted:In one of the recent Spider-Man cartoons they changed Miles's name to Kid Arachnid, and I think it happened around the same time as comic Miles wanting to change his name. Yeah but as I understand it that was more of a merchandising move so they don't have to sell 2 different toys that both say "Spider-Man" (which is still stupid but whatever). Then again though, Marvel animation believes its audience is full of complete morons who can't understand the concept of, for example, 2 different Avengers shows at once. (DC animation isn't much better though, with the infamous Bat-embargo)

Teenage Fansub posted:What got you in the preview? Like a page ago you said you knew about Jon being aged up. I dunno I thought maybe he just had a growth spurt, or at most maybe a few years? But jumping straight to 17 is too much imo. I mean tbh I thought the whole "going to space" thing was stupid in the first place but I was willing to give Bendis the benefit of the doubt and see how things went... and I gotta say I'm not pleased.

enigmahfc posted:Everyone knew Jon would get aged up, but now suddenly people are all, 'gently caress you Bendis! You did the exact thing we knew you would be doing for for like the past 6 months and has been confirmed by previews and everything!" Personally, it was kind of an out of sight out of mind deal. Like how I'm not reading HiC so I can ignore... all that bullshit. But I've still been reading Superman, and now that the things that I don't like are actually happening (or are imminent) now's the time for me to bitch about it like a proper comic forum poster. enigmahfc posted:wasn't he already like 12? I don't remember exactly, but I do know it was a thing in the Super Sons book where he'd keep asking Robin to put him on the Teen Titans but Damian kept shooting him down because he wasn't a teen.

Roth posted:I feel like Priest's Deathstroke has been losing a lot of the weird family drama that I liked so much in the beginning in favor of putting Slade in wacky gimmick situations. Yeah it lost me back at that pretty dismal Titans crossover and the bits and pieces I've seen since haven't impressed me much. That said I guess kudos to Priest for getting me to enjoy the previous parts of a Deathstroke book because I usually hate him.

Yeah I don't think Bendis flat out ignores continuity/or creates plot holes so much as he has a specific way of writing characters and starts with a vision for his stories and if that's different from old characterization or *kinda* conflicts with old stories then get used to it pal. Like, for example, it's not a plot hole that Lois and Jon agree to take off on a space adventure with Jor-El after he's already revealed himself to be kinda crazy, it's just stupid. (I'm working through a big backlog of comics and I can't say I'm a fan of his Superman) TwoPair fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Apr 5, 2019 |

Sinteres posted:Doomsday Clock was originally supposed to wrap up last year. If they're actively revising it to sync up with anything coming out right now in ways that weren't always planned, they're crazy. I could definitely see them getting rid of a scene where someone sends Rorschach to Sanctuary, so that then he could appear in one of those therapy talk-to-camera cutaways throughout the book for one page and never again.

tbf to Russell it's not just him, I think basically all the H-B books weren't good? Except for maybe Future Quest but I feel like to enjoy that one you kind of had to have grown up with at least some of those shows and I didn't, so I felt like I was supposed to feel nostalgic at parts and I felt nothing which is why I ultimately didn't finish it.

Roth posted:That doesn't seem like a bad idea to me? I get that having (a) Superboy on the Legion is both a good idea and a classic one, but I don't like it being this Superboy. Look, maybe I'm just holding onto the Gleason/Tomasi era a little too fondly but I didn't like it when Bendis aged Jon up* and I especially don't like the idea of him getting shipped off to the future. I liked Superman having a family, sue me. Aging his kid up and then sending him 1000 years away effectively destroys that. *I didn't like it then, but I figured I could learn to live with it if it led to a good story. But so far the only story it's set up for is a bunch of Jor-El poo poo in Action which l could care less about, and for Lois and Clark to have spy adventures without having a kid around. Which like... I don't know, Batman has stories without Robin all the time so you can't say Superboy was a hurdle to letting Lois and Clark do their own things.
