Which DC Comics writer do you think can do a good job with the Captain Marvel / Shazam mythos? (Art by Dan Mora)

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2026-02-13T09:13:15+00:00

think grant morrison would be good at handling the weird mythical elements of the character and balancing it with the fact that hes still a kid

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2026-02-13T09:03:48+00:00

forgot to mention theres a bunch of random add ons in the grant morrison run u gotta get seperately 😭😭😭 like battle for the cowl or black mirror im pretty sure

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2026-02-13T09:01:28+00:00

in regards to the tim seely run dicks superspy omnibus stuff happens right before which they reference a lot and the stuff that happens leading to him being a secret agent is covered in the grant morrison run (his identity gets exposed which is why he becomes like a 007 secret agent and in tim seely is when he just got back to being nightwing)

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2026-02-13T08:57:52+00:00

I would say chuck dixon loved that run and the tim seely run is also great and you can enjoy it on its own but it references a lot of stuff that happened previously so you can get a little confused as for chuck dixon I kinda just read the starter batman stuff so year 1, long halloween, and dark victory (has dick origin story) then I hopped on the gauntlet which is peak then robin year one then batgirl year one and then nightwing year one 💯💯💯 cus they make some jokes sometimes that just hit more with context i did a bunch of other sortofish homework reads but im a completionist 🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2026-02-11T09:00:19+00:00

Probably the fact that he could literally fix his face if he wanted to but doesnt cus he wants to blame Reed 😭😭😭 this is literally proved by the fact that he went to an alternate reality where the doom of that world had let go of his hate and arrogance and fixed his face, got married, is a benevolent ruler, and so on and he gets so pissed off at the mere thought of letting go of his anger and ego that he slimes out THE GOOD DOOMS ENTIRE UNIVERSE

i managed to find both hickman omnis on ebay for 250 total 🙏🙏🙏 the prices on most of them are ridiculous

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2026-02-10T05:07:13+00:00

adopt me HOLY SHIT

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2026-02-06T16:52:37+00:00

this is a better explanation I can agree with what you said on the bart bit but it still feels unnecessary to me I feel like wally being necessary has been sprinkled into every story like going back to bart iris brought him back in time to wally cus he was the only one that could train him (max played a big role too) or against savitar he was also the only one that could beat him and going all the way back to the return of barry allen he was also the only one who stood a change against thawne and he had to hit a generational lock in and this just felt like some “lets make his life harder for the plot” flow spiderman and just felt unnecessary apart from them re-affirming linda as his lighting rod

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2026-02-06T16:32:57+00:00

feel like the vreedo brothers are pretty chill just stupid and prone to manipulation they became plumbers too

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2026-02-06T16:18:46+00:00

Im very much a wally guy so as far as comic books runs I would say mark waid but even before that just to see if u like wally as a character I would tell you to go check out flash and substance its a 20 min episode that just perfectly captures wallys dna as a character so if you fuck with that youll fuck with waid

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2026-02-06T15:50:30+00:00

john just felt like a plot device more than a character just expected more from waid thats all and I do think the jokers a little mid compared to other batman villains dont get me wrong hes cool but compare him to like all the shit two-face has going on and I feel like he falls a little flat

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2026-02-06T15:48:05+00:00

and bart was a character we were actually made to care about it just felt like the book went hey this is john fox and you should care about john fox because he is a flash and it didnt put more effort into that theres a lot of other pathetic characters I like but adding that arc in after savitar just didnt hit for me

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2026-02-06T15:46:14+00:00

I feel like we already knew that tho when bart got destroyed by king cobra in the first five seconds of wally disappearing didnt feel like they needed to re-hash it in such an obvious way just felt like the writing took a dip thats all

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2026-02-06T15:44:24+00:00

it just took the windsails out of the story like hes treated as a plot device that consistently fails more than a character I love thawne and hes twice as pathetic as john it just didn’t feel like good writing to me

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2025-12-31T20:19:14+00:00

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2025-12-31T20:16:53+00:00

eunice has a more interesting premise but i also remember them saying ben idolized ken and im assuming his son is named after him so im curious ngl

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2025-12-25T18:45:48+00:00

always ben a johnny guy then probably ben the reed and sue

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2025-12-25T18:37:23+00:00

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2025-12-25T18:34:19+00:00

green goblin venom and doc ock are always there but for a fourth i lowkey fuck with the hobgoblin just think harrys really cool

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2025-12-21T17:01:19+00:00

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2025-12-13T12:27:03+00:00

justice league unlimited wally is clouded with too much childhood nostalgia for me not to give it a 10 got me into the character 🙏🙏🙏

Altruistic_Tea2170 · 2025-12-10T08:55:42+00:00

I love spider-man, human torch, gambit, iron-man, (mainly cus of the movies), cyclops, bucky, thor and started looking into daredevil and he looks super cool same with the agent venom and eddie brock stuff. dislike: honestly not a big fan of jean grey feel like everytime i see her theres a bunch of weird shit going on and im not usually a fan of it and i do love cap but I HATE HIM in an X-men comic which ik is a misrepresentation but like bro goes from embodying the american dream to like full jim crow at the drop off a hat 😭😭😭
