You will be missed.

Who?

[LadyCrimson]

I second that who.

Ted Kord

[SteveThaiBinh]

That was informative.

 

Please add my 'Who?' to those above.

[LadyCrimson]

Oh...the comic book guy. I've only seen him in a couple 'new' Superman comic compilation 'novels'. At least I think it was the same guy. What, are they killing him off or something?

Blue Beetle II. He was a laugh-riot. Smart, witty, and, when he wasn't in one of his fat phases, an Olympic-class athlete.

 

Now, I do prefer the modern JLA to the various Geffen Justice Leagues of the 80s, but I still enjoyed reading Blue & Gold and the rest of the gangs. I guess now, with Max and Ted gone, there won't be any place for a funny supergroup in the DCU.

I want to see Preacher team up with The Flaming Carrot.

And Cerebus. That would rock.

I second that. Evil would not only tremble with fear. It would also be terribly terribly confused.

[Calax]

meh... :looks at sig:

[Kor Qel Droma]

The old Justice League International was a hoot to read. Beetle and Booster Gold were hilarious. But didn't this happen last year? Holy **** they killed of Captain Marvel as well?

 

I can sum up everything I hate about comics in one word :retconned

[Calax]

Marvel isn't dead... He's just... taking the place of His wizard who was killed in Day of Vengance (where spectre went nuts)...

 

Supergirl is back... and beetle is back but really really wierdly back... (he's like magic in a hat or somthing).

 

Oh and Robins dad was killed 2 years ago by captain boomerang

I thought Boomerang would never walk again after what Walter "Dark Flash" West did to him?

What? Geez, DC needs to have a real Crisis, not this faux Infinite Crisis crap. That kind of stuff is almost as bad as the X-Men (616 variety).

[metadigital]

I thought Supers weren't allowed to have children!

that was in identity crisis... not infinite that they had the new cap boomer

 

and Meta... it's not supers it's metas... as in metahuman.

 

Oh and theres a supergirl that is actually Kal El's Cousin. Powergirl actually has a reason for not having an origin and her fluxuating powers...

 

and I'm a tad angry at JLU because they turned hawkman into a panzy... ("this is hawkman, anything below third degree makes him giggle" in the comics)

Identity Crisis...was that the Dr. Light bit? Haven't actively read anything in a couple of years.

 

I read about the return of Kara. That, Batwoman, Superman's origin being changed again, and numerous other things are all bullcrap that should not exist anymore. DC is undoing the entire Crisis, and doing it poorly, House of M-style. All it will really do is discourage new readers from learning about the DCU, which was the state of the DCU before "Crisis on Infinite Earths". It really ticks me off (for the record, I was against "The Kingdom"; "Kingdom Come" should have just stayed a prestige-format Elseworlds tale).

[Walsingham]

The only superhauman type comic I read is The Authority. Funny and slick all round, but what is especially good is the way they don't waste their superpowers catching burglars. They focus on weird things like genocide.

Undoing COIE was kinda the reason for IC... I think... I don't read the issues I do trades. But if you think about it they had already undone COIE kinda with the whole hypertime concept. (which was what The Kingdom was about)

 

But right now they are slowly (oh so slowly) sorting out the remains after IC... superboy Dead. Omac's gone, Batman pissed at himself.and Superman is depowered.
