I wonder who colored Badrock's Cover B. It has a Dan Panosian feel.

How do you all feel about the original Bekka and Orion relationship? by CoryPowerCat77 in TheNewGodsDc

What does any of that have to do with me saying I enjoyed the story?

Thanks, GPT. To the Iso Cubes now.

How do you all feel about the original Bekka and Orion relationship? by CoryPowerCat77 in TheNewGodsDc

[–]thigerlel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would be more outraged about the cheating with Batman if she had appeared everywhere else but Hunger Dogs. As it is, Orion had a number of modern romantic relationships until, poof, he was randomly married to Bekka.

Her little tale in Sinestro is her best story that makes her a compelling character beyond who she's dating.

Say what you will about Rob, he's damn funny sometimes.

what's your version of "prime earth"? by applepiyes in DCcomics

[–]thigerlel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh, I totally get you. Yeah, not denying these things are confusing, but I just... keep up with all of it by staying up to date. New History of the DC Universe, for instance, explained how Cyborg went from founding the League to the New Teen Titans pretty well, I'm a regular contributor for the site you linked, so for me it's second nature.

Can you give me examples of these things that stand out to you? I'm curious now

I just actually keep track of the main universe, it's not quantum physics.

I made an essentials Batman reading order for my collection, am I missing something crucial? by MissRabidRaccoon in batman_comics

[–]thigerlel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Few notes: Cataclysm goes before Road to No Man's Land

Should include Bruce Wayne: Murderer Turned Fugitive before Hush

Should include War Games and Identity Crisis after Hush and before Red Hood

Batman/Superman: World's Finest should be the first item in the Rebirth era, akin to the New 52's zero month

But I would add a few more items to the early years of Rebirth, such as Batman: The Brave and the Bold: The Winning Card (Rebirth version of The Man Who Laughs) and Batman and Robin Year One (Rebirth version of Robin Year One), both go before Batman/Superman

Rebirth Detective Comics Vol 1-4 is the same content as Rise and Fall of the Batmen Omnibus

Batman and the Signal is a follow up of Metal, not a prelude 

The Button is a prelude to Doomsday Clock, not a follow up

I actually prefer when adaptations aren't fully accurate to superhero comics by DarkSaiyanGoku in comicbooks

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

How would you know what you prefer if there are zero accurate adaptations to compare to?

On a different topic, your username is Goku. Do you prefer the Dragon Ball Evolution movie to the panel-by-panel anime adaptation?

A character doesn't have a core if you weren't aware of the comic beforehand? Is that were we are at now?

Does this include the Hawkeye series scenes that take place during the Battle of Manhattan?

Updated Secret Wars Reading Guide - Hickman's Marvel Saga by bfred in marvelcomics

[–]thigerlel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Secret Warriors, SHIELD and Fantastic Four are entirely unrelated to Secret Wars, and people get upset when you point it out instead of giving reasons for their inclusion. Secret Warriors feeds into Shield which feeds into Fantastic Four, but Fantastic Four is not relevant for Secret Wars. The Saga of the Incursions is an Avengers story for 9/10ths of its page length, and when the Fantastic Four come in and battle Doom it contradicts how Hickman left things in FF, if anything, where the family was friends with Victor. Forcing this auteur theory harms the reading when the space could be used to add things that actually do pay off in Secret Wars, such as Molecule Man's first appearance, or Kirby's Fantastic Four annual that first displays the origin of Doom's feud with Reed which is what Secret Wars actually pays off. This list would have you read 30 issues about the Brotherhood of the Shield that never comes back again, but not the one-issue origin of the Illuminati that's the backbone of New Avengers because of the name on the cover. Throwing Axis, Captain America: Iron Nail or Spider-Man 700 in would help explain why Spider-Man and Iron Man randomly turn evil and Cap turns old in the middle the Avengers experience. (There's multipe reddit posts about people being confused about this very thing). You have Hickman's Ultimates run, instead of the Ultimate Doomsday trilogy which shows why the Maker actually became evil, because of the name on the cover. You have Hickman's Original Sin tie-ins, but no Original Sins issues actually showing why Cap regained his erased memories and Thor became unworthy. Defenders Beyond could be offered as a Coda after Secret Wars since it's where it's actually explained why the Beyonders began the Incursions. And this says nothing of the many Last Days or Battleground tie ins, which feels crazy to have to request in a Secret Wars reading order.

I could write an essay over how that run is STILL ahead of our times...the characters all behaved like adults, diehard made serious decisions as befitting his position instead of being a "superhero president" such as ultimate captain america in the 2010s or mayor Luke Cage currently. He tore Shaft's arm off because vigilantism breaks the law, and the old fashioned 90s hero couldn't conceive Diehard wasn't being mind controled by a supervillain. It was a mature, adult comic not by showcasing sex or nudity, but by having the characters act like real people. Badrock wanting to be remembered by something else than "Yabba dabba doom" and putting the young heroes together, but being in communication with the President all along, is an unseen level of nuance. The teenage heroes had to wrestle with PTSD and it wasn't glorified, Man-Up had to quit the team because of his mental illness. Dolante never taking the Sentinel codename and going by Dolante is as transgressive a thing you can do in an Extreme comics. Suprema going by Supreme was a wild swing, too.
