Madkal posted:Wasn't the last time DC did a Millennium event it got spoiled terribly and they changed the villain at the last minute? Or was that another event? That's Zero Hour, I believe. When they started laying the groundwork for Monarch, everybody was all "Oh, that's clearly Captain Atom." DC did a hard swerve and made it Hawk (Hank Hall) instead.

Nah, that was Armageddon 2001 with the Hawk/Captain Atom switchout. It was the first time I was severely disappointed in a comic as a youngster because I really enjoyed the story up until that reveal.

Millennium was, I believe the one where the Manhunters had infiltrated a bunch of different teams/power structure and went to war. Sort of DC's Secret Invasion but waaaaay before that. E: checked wikipedia that's the right one. It also refers to the Manhunters as a 'robot cult' and I love that. Dreqqus fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Jun 10, 2019 |

Is that the Phantasm from the The Mask of the Phantasm movie? Has she been in the comics before? Spoilers for a twenty five year old cartoon I guess.

Your image doesn't have a file extension. When you upload to imgur you need to right click and copy the image location, make sure it has a jpg/png/gif extension on the end or the forums won't embed it. Also in somber news, Wally West is getting his own series. Written by Scott Lodbell with art by Brett Booth.  Being a Wally fan is hard.

Orca definitely died in Face the Face, and stayed dead. However, when Doctor Manhattan stole love or whatever and altered the DC Universe, he apparently brought her back to life to appear in Nightwing.

Orca just comes across as the kind of z-list character that would be killed every few years when a new baddie shows up in Gotham. It should turn into a running gag honestly.
