FUCKING AWESOME!



FUCKING HILARIOUS IF DC KILLS WALLY



I JUST CREAMED MY PANTS.

Nogs

those are some nice covers.

Sars_Boy

Apparently Crossbones got stuck in the DCU

Balefuego

oh fuck yes more Secret Six

Sars_Boy

I will laugh so hard if DC kills Wally and expects us to take it seriously.

Furu

They are not going to kill Wally. Rogues Revenge is about the Secret Society and Libra. All the Wally stuff is a red herring.

Furu

Like Communism.

Jordyn

J'onn, Wally, and Batman would be like a fucking hat trick of my favorite characters.

The Lovely Bastard

okay now it has to happen

DouglasDanger

if they kill wally to bring barry back, i will be furious
and i don't even read flash or jla

i know a large percentage of their fans grew up watching superfriends when it was new and not on boomerang, but come on

Jordyn

I mean if they manage to kill all three of my favorite characters in a matter of months I am going to assume that DC actually has it out for me and I am going to make the swankiest tin foil hat you fuckers have ever seen.

The Lovely Bastard

Dan DiDio all calling you up. Heavy breathing. Threats.




....


OH GOD THE CALLS ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE

Ringo

Maybe they can all have their own little Heroes Reborn universe just for you Jordyn

Unfortunately Rob Liefield will do the art and it'll be terrible

The Lovely Bastard

Ringo this is the 00's.

It'll be Michael Turner.

Garlic Bread

sars boy :x

Garlic Bread

oh man that's the new Azzerello Joker story oh man

Desktop Hippie

DouglasDanger

sooo shiny and yellow
damn

TeaSpoon

I'm guessing that is Bart Allen seeing as how the mini is supposed to deal with the fallout to his murder. All their lives basically went to shit after they offed Bart, and now they're looking for some pay back. From whom, I have no idea.

Desktop Hippie

See, Jordyn? It's okay! You... you can put the tinfoil down... that's right... good girl... just put it down...

I passed this point some time ago when Beetle, (Son of) Vulcan, Question, and Connor Hawke all got put out of commission within months of each other.

Anyhow, sure looks like some cool stuff is coming up with Secret Six, JSA, and that Joker story.

JLA continues to sound kind of ridiculous though, and and I'm kind of sad they didn't use the old El Diablo designed by Mike Parobeck. Always thought he had a cool costume. But he wouldn't really fit into the kind of story Nitz wants to tell. Oh well.

SalmonOfDoubt

So I guess Deadshot's gun fires whipped cream now?

Munch

Well, Scandal and Knockout find it handy.

I hope Simone brings back Knockout.

Beetle was killed in March of 2005, Question died in February 2007, Son of Vulcan was not killed but taken out in November 2007, and Connor was not killed in December of 2007.

Only two of those are "within months of each other"

Of course they are. It's just quite a lot of months.

Munch

Keith, why you gotta bust balls?

mattharvest

Damn it, so we're already seeing the "Gog is evil" stuff...damn.

Well, we're mostly seeing that people fight over religion. Which we sort of knew.

Lux

Is Zatanna joining the JLA? She's on the cover.

Also, would you consider Son of Vulcan "in commission" before he was lasered anyway?

Starred in his own mini-series and had guest appearances in a JSA: Classified arc, Infinite Crisis, and the most recent Titans Tomorrow arc.

I don't know why people feel that just because a character isn't appearing in a major story currently they should just get unceremoniously shuffled offstage. There's a ton of characters that aren't major players, but still have a place in the DCU.

But fuck it, let's just off Slam Bradley as soon as Catwoman gets canned, maybe give Jason Bard some brain-damage, and hey, go ahead and cripple Plastic Man's son Offspring. While we're at it, maybe mention Jack Knight got killed off-panel. Who cares? Not like anyone may actually want to use them at any point in the future.

is that damage down on the bottom left

I cant tell

The Muffin Man

Damage has the glowy fist.

Munch

Citizen Steel seems slow on the uptake.

"There they are! Get 'em!"

"Who do you think we're charging towards? fucking retard.."

if I remember correctly he wasn't even killed, only Power Boy was. So isn't it just like being returned to that backburner limbo he was in before?

Fixed.

I had assumed that Lance is the "he" who is pronounced dead in the preview snippets, since he's not on the cover, but now I'm wondering if he's Magog?

He's in a coma, along with all the other injured Titans East, save Little Barda, Power Boy and Cyborg. Note I specifically didn't say "killed" in my original post. I only stated that each of the characters I'd named had been removed from play in one fashion or another.

mattharvest

It'd be nice if they could have gone more than a few issues without reducing Gog to the "seems good, but is actually corrupting all these heroes" crap archetype. There was so much room to be creative...

Munch

Going off that solicitation, we still can't be sure that's the case. It says that some people are happy he's bringing peace to the world, and some aren't. The story could have a morally ambiguous tone, where nobody's really right, but just doing what they think is best.

Also, it's cool to see Hawkman hanging onto the staff he stole from Gog. I always wondered why more low-powered superheroes didn't hang onto the nifty stuff they come across.

Yeah, Spider-Man should be running around with Octopus arms and shooting people with Shocker's gauntlets with Rhino's horn haphazardly taped to his head.
