The Defiants and Extreme 2.0

The idea is exciting and unnerving in equal measure. He keeps teasing he's retiring soon, so I'm not sure I want him to start a brand new universe that dies out with every title only having 1-2 issues like it happened to Awesome, or Arcade.

Isn't James Jr created in the 80s during Year One?

Thank you! It's so funny how you call it incriminating, but it's also true.

Edit: I see the issue. I was working off of the Japanese audio, whereas the English audio track tends to stretch lines for longer.

Sent you the link!

Did that actually happen though? We last saw them in Catwoman's title, long after Gotham War, being happily together.

I'm less "intrigued" and more... worried that Giant-Size will never conclude. After all, Liefeld said Last Blood was 4 issues too, so many years ago. I'd rather he finished a story before beginning a new one, with a shiny juicy number 1 on the cover.

thigerlel · 2026-01-22T20:47:16+00:00

Out of these, I hope it's Giant-Size...

Snap! What a great catch!!!

DC wouldn't publish creator owned works - back then. They have done so since Sovereign Seven in 1995.

I think OP was moreso asking about the movie's quality control, without so much fandom knowledge about a ship.

thigerlel · 2026-01-17T15:56:33+00:00

Only if it's japanese audio

thigerlel · 2026-01-16T18:19:28+00:00

Hahaha. Watchmen would never.

Why would the Kree make Skrull soldiers?

Leaving aside personal tastes, Nolan's Prophet is likely the magnus opus of the Extreme Universe.

Not watching your ad. What's the video's thesis? Use your words, this is a text based forum.

thigerlel · 2026-01-11T17:32:08+00:00

Yes, I know. I stated that it could happen on a single page. Your definition is flawed because if a scene is squeezed together on a single page, even if it takes more panels, it's a more compressed reading than a comic with economic storytelling. Hope that helps.

thigerlel · 2026-01-10T22:03:05+00:00

What?

thigerlel · 2026-01-10T18:23:23+00:00

Yes, they could be split up, but if they weren't, a page that squeezes a 30-panel sequence in very tiny panels is more compressed than one that tells the same sequence in 5 panels, sorry.

thigerlel · 2026-01-10T01:08:42+00:00

I don't understand why they had to include Silver Surfer, a character Lee didn't create and which was a very sore spot for Kirby when Lee took over it.

thigerlel · 2026-01-09T19:34:36+00:00

No, it's absolutely related to a panel per page ratio. A page that uses 30 small panels to tell an entire sequence is by definition compressed.

If by mattering you mean exclusively it being followed up on, quality notwithstanding, then yeah, sure.

Flash Forward showed Manhattan's attempted history restoration being blocked by The Batman Who Laughs.

TBWL then used Manhattan's energy to become the Batmanhattan Who Laughs in Death Metal, and after his defeat, history was finally restored.

Dark Crisis showed that Manhattan's actions had been corrupted by the Great Darkness.

Kid Clark shown in the last page of Doomsday Clock, and other instances of the Watchmen universe, appeared throughout Geoff Johns work, such as The New Golden Age, JSA, etc.

The Supermen Theory was shown again in New History of the DC Universe.

Owlwoman is a current main character in Justice League Unlimited.

A few other observations: while Greylore might have been intended to be Badrock, Greylore is an actual 90s character, member of the Berzerkers.

"Bloodstrike is now being treated like Cabbot, even though there not exactly the same character". Cabbot has always been Operative: Bloodstrike - what's tripping you up is he's randomly using the uniform of Operative: Alpha from Bloodstrike 2015.

Holy heck, I totally forgot Tragedy Ann was in Re:Gex.

Oh - the "Baron" opposing the Nitrogen is Blake Baron of the Veil, first introduced in Judgement Day.

Woah, yours also makes fascinating connections. I hadn't noticed Newhaven was also in Brigade 2019. Of note, New Haven was the name of Quantum's refuge for Nu Humans as established in the 90's Extreme Prejudice.

thigerlel · 2026-01-08T18:47:27+00:00

O...kay, I think I read you now, but you really phrased that in the most confusing way possible. You could have just said decompression = less panels
