I thought she was a Black Lantern now.

A vote for me is a vote for a cosplay thread!!

/hot like an Amazon

So is she a cougar, or a sabertooth lion?

Gunny Highway: The English Major: I thought she was a Black Lantern now.

I am not too familar with the Black Lantern Corp so I went to the wiki page. I am more confused now than I was before.

DC is undergoing one huge death spiral with its heroes before getting a continuity enema with the Earth One titles next year.

I wish I was more familiar with the DC Multiverse. I never read DC as a kid and have tried as I have got older. I enjoy the stuff but always feel like I am missing something important.

No...not really. That's why I tend to stray away from the monthlies and wait for the TPBs. DC's fast-tracking the Green Lantern titles now, and they do the same with the majority of their good Vertigo imprints. Jack of Fables, Fables, DMZ, and House of Mystery, for example. Hell, the new Ian Rankin Hellblazer graphic novel is awesome.
It's a tremendous investment to follow the core Blackest Night title and all the spinoffs.
Like I said in yesterday's Marvel Misogyny thread, the only thing the companies are waging war on is your wallet.

But whatever you do...don't read Final Crisis. It will mess with your head and it tosses in everything from The New Gods to Batman to...I'm just going to stop. It's all too much a headache.

Gunny Highway: The English Major: /I'm going to read Y: The Last Man Volume II later this evening

I am buying my girl the Y series. She has never read comics but is blazing through them. I got her Vol II on Friday and had to go out for Vol III on Sunday. She is really enjoying it so I am looking forward to getting my hands on it once she is all done.

/Thanks for the advice BTW
//Hoping to get the complete Bone collection for Xmas

I actually got that last Christmas.
Never mind I have all the single volumes, the big one's nice.
As is "The Art of Bone."
If you want a quick, quirky read that doesn't require too much knowledge of mythos, pick up Neil Gaiman's "Whatever Happened to the Cape Crusader?" It's how his Rogue's Gallery deals with his "death."
In some ways, it's an homage to "Almost Got Him."

Also, I really enjoyed Brian K. Vaughn's "Pride of Baghdad."

Deagan Herumor: One of the things I like about the DC characters is that they're simple. There isn't a million pages of back story for each guy that explains every facet of his being.



Simple?

In which of the 52 universes?

Superman, who was killed, resurrected, went nuts and tried to be everywhere at once and created androids to help him do so, and was and was not Superboy who was and was not a member of the Legion of Superheroes?

Batman, who had his back broken, magically healed, had Gotham City hit by an earthquake and a plague before it was cut off from the rest of the country until soon to be President Lex Luthor gave the money to rebuild, then Batman gave up his Bruce Wayne identity after Bruce was framed for Murder, but everything turned out okay and Bruce was cleared just before Bats took over the Gotham police and became an outlaw again, and during that time, his dead second Robin, Jason Todd, was resurrected because Superboy (not the one Superman may or may not have been, but another one) punched the universal wall and made things un-happen, so now Jason is running around as the Red Hood while Bruce Wayne has been transported back to 50 million years ago and everyone thinks he's dead and Dick Grayson and Bruce's illigitmate son Damien are Batman and Robin?

That's simple, eh?

Gunny Highway: The English Major: "Whatever Happened to the Cape Crusader?"

The English Major: "Almost Got Him."

Nice I will definitely check that out. I loved that episode of TAS. Thanks again.

You're welcome. Alan Moore's "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow" was good too; it is a different take on what happens after Superman leaves Earth. It was before he went all loony toons. His DC Collected Stories is great, if only for "The Man Who Has Everything."

Forbidden Doughnut: My library actually had copies of "The Walking Dead" on the shelves. I'll definitely check that series out...

The English Major: Like I said in yesterday's Marvel Misogyny thread, the only thing the companies are waging war on is your wallet.

LOL. So true..

/ last DC event that I followed was "52"
// my comic-buying budget is small...

Got the first two Walking Dead hardcovers for my birthday. It's a fairly good yarn, but I know it's...uncompromising.
52 was great solely for the Booster Gold/Rip Hunter storyline. I have the Booster Gold figure that DC Direct released, and skeets pops open to reveal Mr. Mind.

/also love the JLU Episode "The Greatest Story Never Told"
//"Thanks, Green Lantern!"

Black Lantern Blue Beetle is great.

I agree with you 100%.

But whatever you do...don't read Final Crisis. It will mess with your head and it tosses in everything from The New Gods to Batman to...I'm just going to stop. It's all too much a headache.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was totally lost reading that. Although Crisis on Infinite Earths gave me a headache.

///World War III was entertaining

proletarian: The English Major: DC is undergoing one huge death spiral with its heroes before getting a continuity enema with the Earth One titles next year.

I think the Earth One graphic novels were going to be a new and different continuity like Marvel's Ultimate line, not a new continuity in the regular titles occurring on New Earth. So it's not really an enema; they're actually packing more shiat into the Multiverse, to use your metaphor.

The English Major: But whatever you do...don't read Final Crisis. It will mess with your head and it tosses in everything from The New Gods to Batman to...I'm just going to stop. It's all too much a headache.

Final Crisis was outstanding.

I dunno. I liked Identity Crisis better.
