redbackground posted:^^^That dude's hair changed color, is what he means. More than just the hair color, it tottaly messes up the narrative since it seems Langstrom's talking with himself instead of Jason confronting him (Silva could really appreciate some diversity on his faces) Regarding the dialogue it goes like this: Palmer: Away team! To hangar bay A in five--- Jason: Belay the away for, Doc. No idea if this clarifies it or not, though.

I bet there was a change in plans between the line being "Belay the 'four', Doc." and "Belay the Away, Doc." and it all got hosed up.

Your guess is as good as mine but RHATO's editor really need to step up their game to avoid stupid mistakes like that (rereading I just realized that Palmer said "To hanger bay A..."  )Poor edition aside, the issue was fantastic.

Okay, so this scene takes place on this little island/secluded area whatever. Here's a picture.  This is important. So Starfire is taking this guy out to execute him 'cause he enslaved her or whatever I don't really care about the plot...  But then...  SKYSCRAPERS OUTTA FUCKIN' NOWHERE. No, I didn't cut a page out, Jason and Roy just show up standing on buildings that weren't there in the establishing shot.

Here's a picture. To be fair on that:  The map here shows that Kory's on Florida (Malibu, specifically)  And here the guy asks for his execution to be outside. So I think is clear they moved to other place and the distance between those two points allowed for Roy and Jason to catch up with them.

This typo is from a recent edition of an older source: the JSA omnibus. Too bad typos live on past their original issues. (Panel isn't New 52, but I saw it right after catching up on this thread and I wanted to play too.) Space Fish fucked around with this message at 07:07 on Aug 23, 2014 |

80's DC might be my favorite era in comics. I mean, 80's comics in general, but DC especially. JLI, New Teen Titans, Animal Man, Swamp Thing, Watchmen, Man of Steel, Doom Patrol. So much good stuff and it was the most cohesive DC's universe has felt to me. Probably because it was just post-crisis. And we all know how good DC is at getting back on their feet after a major reboot. Also I wasn't alive at the time, so it isn't just rose colored glasses.

So, am I the only person in the world who strongly dislikes Jack Kirby's Fourth World? I mean, even as a kid watching Superman and the later Justice League/Unlimited animated series, I thought everyone dresses like an idiot (even by superhero comic standards), and the villains are such inane characters as "Granny Goodness", "Glorious Godfrey", and "Virman Vundabar"? Darkseid (which is a dumb name) is the only remotely cool cat out of the lot, which is probably why he was front and center for the N52 Justice League relaunch. I don't follow DC too closely these days, but I'm genuinely curious as to how the rest of New Genesis/Apokalips (ugh, even the names of the planets are stupid) have been integrated into the new canon.

Granny Goodness was voiced by motherfucking Ed Asner on Superman: TAS and Justice League. How is that anything but the coolest poo poo ever? Also you've got to include Mr. Miracle and Barda in that and they're both loving awesome.

I wouldn't take it so far as "hate" but I can at least sympathize with never really being able to get into the Fourth World like others. I was hoping the recent Infinity Man & the Forever People book would finally convert me, but it didn't. Other than Darkseid and a couple of other New Gods, I just can't bring myself to care.

Darkseid (which is a dumb name) is the only remotely cool cat out of the lot, which is probably why he was front and center for the N52 Justice League relaunch. Have you tried actually reading the original comics? They were invented for the new far-out youth of the late 60's/early 70's, and the reverence and affection all comes from that. How bizarre, imaginative and like nothing else those Jack Kirby comics were. You should take a look at the first Fourth World omnibus. e: I have nothing better to do, so here's my complete patchy recollection of the Fourth World in the New 52. -The opening arc of 'Justice League' had Darkseid invading Earth. It was really just him and a bunch of troopers and they got pushed back by the JLs. -When 'Earth 2' came out, we find that the other Apokolips forces were also invading an alternate Earth, so they can travel within the Multiverse. Mister Miracle and Big Barda are flying around for a page or two doing something. -Orion appeared in 'Wonder Woman' as a sort of relation to her, linking her pantheon of gods to the New Gods, and we meet Highfather leading a militaristic New Genesis, which is a huge change. -In the Green Lantern side we found out that the Source Wall -a Fourth World concept about a barrier around the edge of the universe, barring us from the secrets of creation and stuff, comprised of the solidified bodies of all the beings that attempted to cross it- exists and Kyle Rayner popped through it. -In 'Vibe' something something Darkseid's daughter. -Darkseid got an origin issue during 'Villain's Month'. Something like he was a simple farmer and the Old Gods were jerks and killed his village and in revenge he killed them and became Darkseid. -In 'Infinity Man and The Forever People' a group of New Genesis youth get transported to Earth. They're modeled on the original Forever People, which were complete wacko space flower children. They're much more jerkish and modern here, but in the last issue the Infinity Man they summon Captain Planet style tried to instill some peace, love and understanding methods of dealing with a villain and calls Highfather a tyrant, like he's speaking for Kirby's intention in the face of what they've been rebooted as, which is kinda interesting. -In 'Batman and Robin', while Batman is fighting Ras al Gul who's trying to resurrect Bruce's dead son, the last Robin, we meet Glorious Godfrey as he pops in and steals the kid for Apokolips. Batman has just transported himself over there in a crazy robot suit beat them all up. -'Futures End' takes place five years into a supposed future where there's been an Earth war between the main Earth and Earth 2. It's vague about the details right now, but several New Gods are on the run or imprisoned. -And finally, there's about to be a big event across the Lantern books that involves the New Gods clashing with them for their rings. We'll probably get the best scope of the New Gods here. It's all been in dribs and drabs over the last three years with no big declarative introduction. I'm guessing they'll be all up in the N52's first big Crisis thing soon. But anyway, get on that Jack Kirby. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Aug 23, 2014 |

Teenage Fansub posted:Have you tried actually reading the original comics? The weirdest part about the Fourth World in the New 52 is that while there's apparently only one Apokolips, it seems like they're having trouble transporting between there and the Earth(s). Like, in Earth 2, for a while, (evil) New God Steppenwolf was hanging on Earth because he apparently couldn't get home, but then a bunch of Apokoliptian parademons + more New Gods + Bizarro were able to Boom Tube in, but then their whole endgame was to make a giant boom tube to warp the whole drat planet back to Apokolips because for some reason Darkseid couldn't get there himself(?) Meanwhile on Earth 1, the whole end of the first arc of Justice League was Cyborg finding a Mother Box and interfacing with it then managing to boom tube all the parademons + Darkseid back to Apokolips and they haven't come back. But then all of a sudden Glorious Godfrey is showing up in B&R and it's like "Well if you assholes could show up again, why have you been holding out so long?" Also Desaad's been stuck on Earth and has been hounding Power Girl and Huntress because he apparently can't get back to Apokolips either. Maybe it fits with Apokolips' whole vibe as a hellscape that they have lovely mechanics who can't fix a mother box.
