The Death Of Superman is probably one of my least favorite things in the world, but curiosity might get the better of me.
The December Solicits are up. Potentially has spoilers… Solicits to be updated in about an hour.
I like the plot idea for Booster Gold #5:
BG
[details=Spoiler]
Trying to stop “The Killing Joke” - where Joker shoots and paralyzes Barbara Gordon! I’m pretty sure they’re going to go the way of the JFK ep of Quantum Leap and not actually stop it, but prevent something more terrible from happening (i.e. she was going to die rather than be paralyzed)[/details]
I’m kinda mad about the amount of mini-series/one-shots DC is churning out. For Countdown alone, we have:
Countdown: Arena
Countdown to Mystery
Countdown to Adventure
Countdown presents The Search for Ray Palmer
Countdown presents Lord Havok and the Extremists
And we still have the Tales of the Sinestro Corps and Black Adam: the Dark Age, Booster Gold and I think there’s 52 Aftermath: The Four Horsemen.
Granted, some of these are/will be quality titles, but could you imagine collecting them all? I think I’m only in for Booster Gold (hell yeah) and Arena.
I’m in for the Sin Corps One-Shots.
Yeah, I’ve about hit my limit lately- I actually bought 4 last week, and wanted to buy 7, but common sense and the fact I had a tourney that weekend, kinda knocked some sense into me.
Also, girls cost money. That doesn’t help either. Even if they are getting into comics themselves.
from the december solits I am getting:
Checkmate/Outsiders tpb (for checkmate, of course)
JLA Lighting Strikes hc
GL: Sinestro Corps War hc
Superman Camelot Falls vol. 2 hc
Shadowpact vol. 2 tpb
Agreed. Deathstroke somehow stabbing the Flash is the one that really gets me. Any movement from Deathstroke’s end should have appeared in slow motion on the Flash’s end and he should have been able to avoid the knife completely. GL is the other one that shouldn’t have happened. And also the Atom I didn’t completely buy (a laser pointer… yeah right). Zatanna is also questionable since I don’t think Deathstroke would have been fast enough to hit her before she uttered a spell.
The others I don’t mind so much… Black Canary, Green Arrow, Hawkman, Elongated Man.
Yeah. Deathstroke’s good, but how’s he able to see the Atom? I can’t believe that his superhuman vision is that intense. And when he nerve pinched Zatanna (or whatever it was he did), she still had time to stutter, “Huh? What the?”. You’d think a professional would be smart enough to use her last gasps to finish the one syllable she needed for her spell. That’s garbage.
I’m still wondering if maxx has found the stories in which Deathstroke has owned the JLA in the past.
Black Adam using a Yeti’s guts as a rope was ingenious
That’s because there are none. I think he’s just basing this off Identity Crisis(shitty random encounter, no less).
its in a teens titans tradeback i believe its in my house somewhere just gotta track it down.
Recent DC comics I read:
Nightwing - Ah, this was more like it unlike last month. NW beating up Vigilante 2.0 and random thugs, fun!
JLA Wedding Special - Joint was funny! Oh and I saw Nightwing at the bachelor party hooray!
JLAWS
Spoiler
Lex Luthor, Joker and Cheetah sitting around deciding who should join their new Legion of Doom looking at photos just like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman did in JLA was hysterical!
52 - Ha ha what up with them using the mustache dude and Equiis from that Jim Lee Superman arc! Oh well at least they aren’t forgotten.
lol@joker doing anything rational.
hey did they ever explain how supergirl got sent to the future? i seem to remember them saying something about it in ww3. but i don’t wanna dig up my issues. can the ww3 know it all DS help me out?
Got to read the new countdown(32) Jason Todd part was pretty cool
and Trickster and Joker gave me a few laughs
Anyone else catch the LoSH and The Batman cartoons? They weren’t that bad. Clancy Brown was LUTHOR! Supes had his JL/JLU voice and Lois had that Supes cartoon voice as well. For loSh Imperiex was okay didn’t like his voice. Cool shit with the anti-matter waves.
LoSH has improved, it is fucked up that the one hero that died and minutes later, no appeared to give a shit. Anti-matter waves will do that I guess.
Hey maxx, you dig up the issues where Deathstroke beats on the JLA?
Yeah Batman Child of Dreams is really good check it out. Kia Asamiya’s Joker, Two Face and Catwoman are pretty bad ass.
Oh, god. I just read part of the first volume of 52 this morning. I felt like I’d been eating paint chips.
