Doomsday’s a cunt.
Sinestro Corps/GL > *
Sinestro Corps
Spoiler
I’ve been telling people for a year that Superboy would be down with the Sinestro Corps after IC. That shit was too obvious. It’s like Geoff Johns is IN MY MIND!!!
Other than that, great fucking issue. DC’s hype train is too strong. They are the Sony of comic books.
I called everything except Anti-Monitor, and Parallax.
I figured Sinestro would absorb the Parallax entity himself.
but I called the breakout of SBP, and Cyborg Superman, and the enlistment of the Manhunters as backup.
New Countdown teaser image. No spoilers really, just an image. More villains in this one…
http://www.newsarama.com/dcnew/countdown/SecondTease/BadBoys.html
Should we start dissecting?
well damn…gameover ggpo dc universe haha
So here’s my stab at it. I think the blood on Luthor’s hands is Lois’s? Also, are those skis to his left?
Martian Manhunter has a bloody dagger…?
I see a broken green arrow. and there’s that device again from the last image to Luthor’s right.
Oops, didn’t notice that trickster is holding Piper’s flute… (no homo)
Look at the poses.
J’onn is Judas.
Da Vinci’s Last Supper.
Since when is J’onn a villain? Mary Marvel’s a villain now? Superman/Eradicator/Whoever The Hell He Is has a mullet again? Kal-L is a villain? When did Penguin get so tall? Is Luthor crying because someone broke the statue of Darkseid?
They need to leave Catwoman alone.
J’onn isn’t a villain (and neither was Judas). This image merely implies that he will betray somebody.
I don’t know if I agree that Judas wasn’t a villain. But that’s a whole 'nother subject all together! Can you tell me what J’onn has been doing since Crisis? Didn’t he have his own miniseries? What happened in that to make him side (even temporarily) with a villain? (And which villain did he “befriend” so to speak.)
I haven’t been following him since Crisis myself.
as for the religious thing, well, we’ll have to discuss that elsewhere, if you wanna discuss it at all.
It’s too soon for the Anti-M to be back since there are hordes of Monitors now in the DCU (countdown)
and technically Monitor and anti-M are supposed to be the same character (complicated explanation, sorta like opposites)
But nonetheless
Jimmy Olsen changing to ELASTIC LAD (although hallucination) brings back those old Leo dorfman superman family stories
I want the REAL pre-crisis Darkseid back (the one who can actually F*ck up the DCU on his own rather than this pathetic Jobber-seid rogue of Superman)
Zephy
I completely agree without any backstory this kid has been elevated to top tier DC villain status
this reminds of the absurdity when Sentry was also tossed above Thor and Hulk and the whatnot
Or even when Kyo Kusanagi supposedly replaced Terry Bogard as the Top SNK Man
or when Goldturd I mean Goldberg with his 101 win streak
NO BACKSTORY!!
but what’s more absurd is that SPB is actually a hero in COIE so it makes even less sense making him a villain.
LOL he has the reality breaking punch lol.
JK
Oh man, it’s RUGAL!!! This place hasn’t been the same without good ol’ Rugy.
LOL The reality breaking punch caused A LOT of animousities
-
AOF originally being older than Fatal Fury being retconned to have the same timeline to coincide with KOF
-
The Transformers and it’s multiple realities like G1, The Cybertronian Series, the UK series
Zephy good to see ya too.
you guys mostly look at me as a troll but I ALWAYS backup what I say it’s just a lot of SRK fans are pro-Marvel or teenagers
DC books I read this week -
All Star Superman - I love this book. Wonder how all that Bizarro talk didn’t drive Morrison crazy writing all that…
Superman
Spoiler
So did Lois finally figured out Clark wasn’t lying to her when he told her he was Superman? What a dumb ass lol!
Detective Comics - Great ending to a great story.
Nightwing - They showed the moment Dick Grayson left Bruce Wayne to become Nightwing. I dunno, I liked Dixon’s version better in Nightwing Year One, Batman telling Dick Grayson “YOU’RE FIRED!” was too good. Wish Wolfman didn’t contradict that. Yet another thing you can chalk up to Superboy Prime knocking out reality. 
Oh and the DCAU version of Robin leaving Batman to become Nightwing is still the best, you can’t beat Robin punching Batman in the face. :tup: Rest of the issue was fun, NW was using a lot of elbow and knee strikes - Mua Thai lol!
Outsiders - And another story NW kicked but in. Man you can’t keep NW in jail he’s gonna escape what is you thinkin’? :looney:
Outsiders, the future of the book
Spoiler
So yeah this was the issue where NW left the team, he turned it over to Batman. Batman will have a new team of Outsiders with Catwoman on the roster and the rumor is that NW will lead an adult team of Titans with Cyborg, Starfire, Beast Boy, Raven, Donna and Jericho - can I get a HELL YEAH!
I don’t think you are a troll. In my mind, you are more of a lawn gnome, or perhaps a frost giant. If you think SRK posters are overwhelmingly pro-Marvel, you gotta hook up with taichi. And talk about how comics used to be good. Haha
Oh man, that was a CRAZY good issue. This little Bizarro arc is shaping up to a mini-epic of sorts in the story, but I can’t get enough of this. THIS is exactly how to write Bizarro. Confusing but not so obtuse as to completely prevent comprehension on the reader’s part. This reminds me of the time Jeph Loeb wrote that arc on Superman/Batman. He needs to take some lessons from Morrison.
I can’t wait to get Absolute All-Star Superman when it comes out in March 2011.
Yeah, Dini’s Detective Comics is excellent. I love how he did all that. The plotting was great, and he managed to fix up Batman and Zatanna’s relationship. They need more team-ups. And we need to see an awesome love fest featuring Zatanna, Catwoman, Wonder Woman, and Neal Adams’ version of the hairy-chested, globetrotting Batman-as-love-god.
I hope Batman and the Outsiders is good. I thought that was a pretty neat idea. Batman having his own metahuman strike force. And it looks like he’s got old-school members like Katana and Metamorpho. Martian Manhunter, too- reminds me of how J’onn and Batman were still allies in Kingdom Come.
I hope someone good writes this comic. Captain Boomerang’s son is lame, and so is Grace. Grace is Asian, ain’t she? So why’s she such a slut? Shouldn’t she be, like, a quantum physicist or a marine biologist? Anyhow, someone needs to make Grace a cooler character with a personality. How many times did she bang Arsenal/Speedy/Red Arrow in the ol’ Pequod? She should have been doing martial arts instead. Maybe now she’ll learn some from Katana.
And a new Nightwing/Cyborg/Beast Boy/etc team of Titans sounds good. Assuming someone good writes it. I don’t want to read about Raven banging Beast Boy in the ol’ Pequod every other issue. Did Jericho shave off those muttonchops yet? If Marv Wolfman is writing this new Titans book, Jericho can keep them. But if anyone else writes it, he needs a makeover.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Zeph!
Now, I will say this: DC hasn’t ever put out a decent fighting game, so Marvel definitely has THAT on lock, but I am a DC fanatic.
that’s not to say I don’t touch Marvel, I just don’t read any marvel titles on a monthly basis.
