How about something inspiring done with panels? Sandy Bilus took a single panel from each of rear end's issues to create a "trailer" of the story:









I really liked All-Star Superman (it's a shame that All-Star Batman flopped so the series wasn't continued - the archetypal story telling you everything you need to know about Wonder Woman?) and I felt this was an ingenious way of showing the story.

It's a shame they took out the Superman meeting the genetic-memory of his father scenes out of the cartoon movie they made of this. Although, we got to hear some of the lines said in Man of Steel, so all was not lost.

Where did you read this?

A few blogs, but now that I search around, it could have just been them shooting their mouths off rather than the book actually having poor sales. The wikipedia page actually says ASB&RTBW was actually the highest selling comics DC sold on the months they came out. \/:shobon:\/ Whoops!

This Reed Richards is too nice this must be a skrull or a clone or mind controlled Reed or something

There's another set of panels of Reed ruminating on him effectively giving the powers and the associated problems to his, let's face it, family and why he set up the whole super-hero thing.

What I'm saying is that Marvel Knights Reed Richards should be canon Reed Richards. Even if the Marvel Knights series still happened in 616.

Edit: A "Doctor Doom sock puppet account" gimmick would be pretty funny.

Are you talking about those Waid/Wierngo pages from around the same time where Reed tells infant-Val about how he knows he hosed over Sue, Johnny, and Ben and his solution was to keep them out as public celebrities and heroes so they wouldn't get immediately stuck in some underground research bunker the rest of their lives. That however cheesy, going out and calling himself "Mr. Fantastic" and promoting the "Fantastic Four" incessantly would give his family the closest thing to normalcy they could hope for?

Cause that wasn't Marvel Knights.

To the cursed Reed Richards, and assorted family and associates,

Doom sends you his regards and condolences on your recent lost. Doom, too, morns the loss of Johnathan Storm.

Surely, there is no greater tragedy than of the Human Torch sacrificing himself to save the universe from Annihilus and his Negative Zone underlings. The only suitable death for him would be sacrificing himself to save the universe from Doctor Victor Von Doom!

Yours Sincerely,
Dr. Victor Von Doom

P.s. A care package for the children will follow soon.

How is he holding that katana?

Magnetic Robot Arm from the looks of it. The arm, elbow, forearm and wrist/hand are separate bits connected by an invisible force, probably magmatism. The wrist/hand orb 'holds' that sword.

"My friend, my oldest ally and confidant, while we have argued in the past and I have many sins to repent for; but I am not long for this world and I wish to tell you this one, single truth afore we part ways, perhaps for the last time...

Why even pretend to hold it when you can clearly just have it float all around?

Well, it's not psychokinesis, presumably, it's just a prosthetic arm but with magnets instead of joints.

I mean, it's comic books, but "a fancy arm but still an arm" would be easier to get used to than installing some sort of telekinesis-cyber-implant thing and learning how to use that. He needs to put all possible time into training his rad Ninja Clan as requested by his dead best friend and also probably spray painting the sickest wizard taking a bong hit onto the side of his van.

The wizard has 'Weedomancer' written under it.

I don't know Bruce, why don't you use Barry Allen to go to a universe where your parents aren't dead and bring them to this one? Batman is an idiot for being the greatest detective in the world.

That would deprive another Bruce Wayne of his parents.

Also, at this point the world's greatest detective has dementia/cancer so cut him some slack, yeah?

I couldn't really name any of those at his death bed, were they the JLI? I think that was Guy at the back which would kinda make a little sense as an advancing-time version of the DCU would have more of an age difference between Bruce and Guy.

The X-Men has had multiple versions of Cyclops' son as a member, each from a different version of Jean Grey. I think they are well aware that leaving Cyclops alone with a version of Jean Grey will just lead to another one, and I don't blame them for wanting to take countermeasures.

Maybe he ought to get the snip, to be on the safe side?
