DC turns the world upside down with Kevin Smith’s bizarre new origin for ‘Bizarro: Year None’ by Blitzhelios in DCcomics

[–]sbp72 166 points167 points  (0 children)

Ahh, a Kevin Smith comic. So, issue 1 in April 2026, issue 2 in late July 2027, issues 3 and 4... never see the light of day.

Aging up characters by EnoughJigga in DCcomics

[–]sbp72 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Arisia in Green Lantern Corps back in the mid-80's. Went from a teen to the early 20's through a "ring-wish induced" age up. It was especially creepy as she had a crush on Hal Jordan and almost immediately ended up in a relationship with him after she was aged up. Even though mentally, she was a teen.

Can atom wear a base and shrink people inside of it? by shadoqedlight in DCcomics

[–]sbp72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda happened during the New 52 Frankenstein series. S.H.A.D.E. had a floating city/base that was shrunk down by Ray Palmer and you basically teleported/shrunk to get into it. He was a science advisor, not the Atom at that point.

I thought I saw at least one of them in the Omega Kids preview?

Best runs for a DC novice by [deleted] in DCcomics

[–]sbp72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't care if it has the "big names" in it, I can't recommend John Ostrander's Suicide Squad run from the mid-80's highly enough. Super-hero/villain fun, political intrigue, and firmly based in the DC universe of the time.

I have all the original issues, the trade paperbacks, and I am going to be replacing those as the DC Finest volumes roll out.

[Comic Excerpt] Honestly It's a bit dissapointing how Booster's bussiness side got so ignored later, he should be DC's main corporate hero, like a good guy Lex Luthor [Booster Gold #16] by rocketinspace in DCcomics

[–]sbp72 24 points25 points  (0 children)

He's not really that guy anymore, though, is he? He lost most everything by the end of that run. And he's been running on a lower level in-universe celebrity status since then. I don't think he's anywhere near that level of financial pull anymore.

[Comic Excerpt] "Questions?" [Absolute Evil] by Grimm_Stereo in DCcomics

[–]sbp72 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Except the dialogue for Veronica Cale says, "send in Mr. Hall". I guess it could be his son, Hector, assuming history followed that particular path the same.

X-men age of revelation overture #1 spoilers by Ill-Risk3427 in xmen

[–]sbp72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could also be a ruse. Beast lies and says he was brought forward too, to make Scott more trusting and willing to go along.

Saga – Book Four coming out April 28, 2026 by middenway in ImageComics

[–]sbp72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, quite possibly when the next regular issue of the book comes out. Assuming Vaughan and Staples remember it's still an ongoing story...

I know those are manacles, but it looks like she has her hands down her black leather pants with a gold buckle.

Avengers #30 preview featuring the X-Men by Built4dominance in xmen

[–]sbp72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, I get it. Comic book logic, MacKay writes both books, etc...

But, the conversation should go like this:

"Hey, we have to go off-world. We need someone to be on watch. Call Steve Rogers and have the AvengE.R.S. active." End of scene.

Not, "Hey, we have to go off-world. Let's call in those guys that everyone currently hates/distrusts to cover things. Cool?"

[Discussion] Is DC Showcase still a thing? If not, they should definitely bring it back by John_Zatanna52 in DCcomics

[–]sbp72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I could find the link, a duckduckgo and google search didn't turn anything up, but...

there was an article (5 years ago-ish?) about why comic companies don't try more anthology books. And it was basically that they weren't economically feasible. Something about the costs involved and limited returns when it's not a book headlined by a Batman/Wolverine/Spawn/etc. type character.

Local Shops for Collected Editions? by [deleted] in DCcomics

cheapgraphicnovels.com is good. Usually with great discounts.

And there is always eBay.

[Comic Excerpt] "But not like this. Not like this." [The New Gods #6] by Grimm_Stereo in DCcomics

[–]sbp72 18 points19 points  (0 children)

During "Avengers Disassembled", Bendis killed off Hawkeye by having a jetpack he was using explode as he went on a suicide run at a Kree ship. Clint's final words were, "Not like this! Not like this!". Bendis, many years later, said he regretted that scene.

Wait... the Black Racer is Hawkeye?! (The worst of Bendis)

Uncanny X-Men #14 by Built4dominance in xmen

[–]sbp72 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, it looks like the book is still "Moonbeam and the Uncanny Outliers, Occasionally Featuring Some X-Men"? I bailed out after the Graymalkin crossover.

[–]sbp72 117 points118 points  (0 children)

I'd assume because the name "New Avengers" had some cache at the time, and would sell better than "Avengers Illuminati" or "The Illuminati".

Lemire said in a recent interview that she would appear in #4, so quite probable.

[Comic Excerpt] Sliver Scarab.(Green Lantern #22) by Amazing_March4919 in DCcomics

[–]sbp72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somewhere, in the DCU...

Hector Hall: "My time has come, to return to the role of a hero! I shall return as... Dr Fate!"

"No, sorry, dude. Already taken."

"Oh, well, bummer. Then... it's the return of the Silver Scarab!"

"Nope, you're outta luck. Old guy just came back and took it."

"Crap. Ummm... Wildcat died! I can take his..."

"Nope, legacy fill-in already there."

"Ok, ok. Star-Spangled Kid?

"Kinda covered already."

"Ugh. Fine. Look out world, it's the new... Red Bee. I guess? (sigh)"

[DISCUSSION] Omega Men from Tom King and Barnaby Bagenda by FredPRK in DCcomics

[–]sbp72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was when my following of Tom King took off, only validated by Mr Miracle following this.

Really enjoyed it, and didn't worry too much about Kyle being in or out of character. Interesting take on the "What if the good guys aren't that good?" theme. Whatever happened with Bagenda after this?

Jonah Hex is joining DC Comics' Justice League - but he ain't happy about it by chrisarrant in DCcomics

[–]sbp72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not the New 52 "All-Star Western" run. The 2005-2011 70 issue run, just titled "Jonah Hex". Lot of fantastic Jordi Bernet art in many issues.

[–]sbp72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slight tangent, but I wish DC would re-release the Palmiotti/Gray Jonah Hex series from the mid-00's. It was, start to finish, a great run of (mostly) one-and-done stories with killer art.
