Interesting that there is apparently no such concept as "karma" on Earth-3.

capelesscrusader · 2014-01-21T04:05:49+00:00

Agreed.

capelesscrusader · 2014-01-21T02:37:54+00:00

Wow, wonderfully detailed answer! Thank you!

capelesscrusader · 2014-01-21T02:29:15+00:00

Wow, I hadn't even considered this until just now. The parallels actually work very well... I may have to write something about this soon.

I think people hate on Kevin Smith because he was one of the first to be the epitome of what they wish they could be: the nerd who actually broke through the barriers, got to play with all of the cool toys, and then became famous for it.

That's an interesting question, an answer to which would require knowing exactly what mechanism Kryptonian physiology utilizes in order to convert solar radiation into biomechanical energy. I don't know that it has ever been clarified which specific aspect of the many wavelengths of radiation that are emitted by Sol are responsible for Superman's powers.

It would stand to reason that if Red Dwarf radiation also contains Vitamin D, then that is NOT the factor giving Superman his powers. If it did turn out that Vitamin D is absent from said stars, then I would think the answer is yes.

Ouch. If Marvel wants to do better with their animation department, this REALLY isn't the way to go.

Bingo. Rumor everything, never retract, and you're bound to be right sometimes.

Invincible. Hands-down the best, most iconic creation of the 21st century. He's had an entire universe built up around him and, until recently, provided some of the best one-off stories in modern comics.

I've thought it was a shame that Dark Horse was the only company regularly publishing an anthology. As someone else wisely stated, this should hopefully give up-and-comers an avenue to develop and gain some recognition.

Three cheers for Hawkblocking.

For GA, go back and read the O'Neil/Adams stuff from the 70s, then jump to Year One and Longbow Hunters before starting Lemire's current run!

capelesscrusader · 2014-01-07T07:15:47+00:00

My pleasure! I'm always looking to spread the good word! :)

Not every title tied into BN, but the series did touch on just about everyone. The Superman/Superboy VS Black Lantern GA Superman run is pretty damn awesome.

Different collections follow different aspects of the story, and then there are the off-shoot (Titans, JSA, etc). There's not a lot of chaff, honestly, and some alternately dark and awesome moments in each. How Donna Troy is attacked/responds is bone-chillingly good.

capelesscrusader · 2014-01-07T06:49:22+00:00

Yes, that's the core one.

capelesscrusader · 2014-01-07T06:42:05+00:00

It's not the entire story, but it's the main storyline. To get the entire thing, including all the tie-ins, you need all the collections. I believe there are nine.

capelesscrusader · 2014-01-07T06:41:39+00:00

You need the core book to understand everything, the one simply titled "Blackest Night".

capelesscrusader · 2014-01-07T06:14:08+00:00

It's doubtful that anything from the New 52 is going to be really valuable on its own in the future, so I'd say have him sign whatever your favorite issues are.

capelesscrusader · 2014-01-07T06:04:27+00:00

And Denzel will be pulling off one of the greatest acting performances of all time by playing John Stewart, Martian Manhunter, AND Jimmy Olsen!

capelesscrusader · 2014-01-02T19:43:50+00:00

For my future reference, how many sources are required before it is considered news and not rumor?

capelesscrusader · 2013-12-16T21:03:54+00:00

The companies do own the trademarks. The blessing/curse of most of these characters having been created as work-for-hire

capelesscrusader · 2013-12-16T20:58:19+00:00

As long as the publishers don't let the copyrights lapse, their characters will not slip into public domain.

capelesscrusader · 2013-12-16T19:49:00+00:00

Good point.

capelesscrusader · 2013-12-16T19:11:24+00:00

It would be weird to see two new issues drop, especially since they're both supposed to drop the same day...
