    Does anyone read that Dark Tower series Marvel is doing?

    Any good?

    Very good. I'd suggest picking it up if you can.

    Could someone explain to me how Black Canary can be the same age during the Green Arrow revival in '99 as she was when she was having sex with Ted Knight, the first Starman?

    That was pre-Crisis though, wasn't it?

    I don't have a fucking clue.

    This has been bugging me all day and I don't want to call Whippy at damn near midnight to ask a question about comics.

    Edit: I believe the Black Canary/Starman fuck action happened pre-crisis, but the comic detailing such was published in 1997.

    I'm pretty sure it was pre-Crisis Dinah fucking Starman

    Then everything rebooted and all the characters started from scratch

    Well, the characters that weren't erased from history that is

    There's been two Black Canarys. The first was Dinah Drake Lance. The current day-version is her daughter, Dinah Laurel Lance.

    But those always seem within the realm of shit that would go down during a super-fight. I don't have any history with the character, but Black Adam strikes me as awesome because he annihilates faces too, which quite frankly seems rare in a comics fight.

    Who here reads Fell?

    And if not, what the fuck is wrong with you? Do you hate being entertained?

    This is the only comic that I'm willing to tolerate this Templesmith bloke in. It is that good.

    Okay. I looked up Black Adam and I still don't get it.


    Are you saying that, post CW Iron Man is tougher than pre CW because the universe is darker? and that Batman was tougher before things got really violent, subject-matter wise? That doesn't make sense.

    Okay, I'm reading the wiki on carnage cause i wasn't reading comics in those days and missed out. It says Venom lost his suit to someone named Styx but I can't find an entry for him.

    I hate how DC always put Superman at the centre of all their 'montage' images and storylines, when clearly Batman is the far superior and cooler superhero.

    Black Adam also pokes eyes through the back of skulls. Which I'm pretty sure is up there on the list of badass ways to ruin someones shit.

    Black Adam wears boots made from the skinned hide of his enemies.

    And they are quite stylish.

    Probably because Superman is the first superhero and maybe the most recognizable superhero (Spider-Man might be, though).

    Also because he's actually really cool and I'm guessing you don't read Superman stuff and are just making assumptions

    Why? Her mom was in the Justice Society. Then she raised her daughter to be a superhero.

    They're who the Silk Spectres in Watchmen are based off of.

    Batman has to be up there

    I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone in north america at least who can't recognize all three in their classic costumes

    I wasnt saying Superman was 'uncool' or inferior in that respect. Hes still pretty badass, and while my comic book readings are small, limited to graphic novels mostly, I still like him.

    Its just that Batman is awesome. He should be at least equal to Superman, not resigned to some generic background montage pic.

    Oh my bad. Your question seemed to relate to each respective universe instead of each character.
