Dark_Tzitzimine posted:Injustice Year Three ended and despite being a bit too heavy on Deus Ex Machinas it was a good ending. A great one if you see this like Constantine's story. I have to disagree. A Constantine story ends with him alone and miserable and with most of his friends dead due to him manipulating them or just due to them knowing him. He ended up happy and that should never happen.

The game takes place five years later, basically making it "Year Six." So we should be getting two more volumes. In related news, here's that list I did for Den of Geek of 10 DC Characters We'd Like to See in Injustice 2.

In a world where Superman is evil, Constantine can be happy.

I'm honestly still unclear why he had to involve Trigon in his plan at all? Like his plan all along was Get Mr. Mxplyxk to fight Trigon , because....? Yeah don't get it.

That's one of those things about Constantine that makes me very confused about his popularity, cause I can see that being fine for one or two stories but as an ongoing thing that just sounds incredibly tedious

This fight had been going for like two months so I might be forgetting something but they brought trigon in to fight superman and they didn't know that the specter was a gnome.

Its really not and Hellblazer is worth a read.

Also, while there's definitely a "norm" he returns to, especially post Dangerous Habits, it's not like his character is entirely static. He does change and grow as the series goes along.

His goal was to dick over Trigon since the beginning. That Mxy got also caught was just a lucky coincidence. Gavok posted:The game takes place five years later, basically making it "Year Six." So we should be getting two more volumes. Interesting picks and you hit the nail in the head about why Jason could present an interesting angle to the story.

I guess it's kinda similar to the reasons I really dislike Punisher as a character in 616 these days(they really should have kept him as a Frankenstein it's like the only decent main continuity thing they've done with him since the early 90's)

What was the point of the Tangent Universe of comics, with the super-evil Black Superman, Green Lantern having a rad Chinese paper lantern and all that? I believe it came up right around the time that I started to really not care about comics and the whole series seemed pointless. Not sure if I ever even finished it.

You mean the core concept of the line, or why it went the way it ended up? The basic idea was just to take established names and make new characters based on them that had nothing to do with the original characters.

The Injustice annual was pretty uneven. The Constantine story was great and help to clarify some bits of year three, but the Titans story was awful. It retroactively made Superman an even bigger jerk just because, art was pretty mediocre, the designs of the Titans terrible and in the end it was kind of pointless. Plus, Tim's fans aren't gonna be happy with his characterization here. The worst part? Titans was written by Buccelato

McSpanky posted:Multiversity is a far better Convergence in spirit than actual Convergence is.  It did remind me I have the DC One Million trade and have not read it, though, so there's a slight shimmer of a silver lining. "It reminded me there were other comics I could be reading instead" is perhaps the faintest praise it's possible to give, of course. I would like to see more Multiversity style stuff, even if it wasn't by Grant Morrison or actually any good. I'd love to see the Love Syndicate get a proper adventure, or see the everyday life of a typical Earth-48 superhero citizen. Even some of the stuff in Convergence like "Soviet Superman fights Superman published in the 50s" would be good to see if it was done in a way that had any kind of subtext or deeper meaning at all. vegetables fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Apr 30, 2015 |

I got to write more What If stuff. Namely an article on every Daredevil-themed What If. I included What If Venom Possessed the Punisher, which only had Daredevil in a supporting role, because it's completely awesome.

I can't believe I forgot that one, especially since it reuses the gag of Spider-Man making fun of Daredevil's yellow outfit as something a blind man would wear.

"Locked in your heartbeat, I sense other things - emotions, longings..." How often do you think Matt practices those lines in front of a mirror? (Although I guess that one isn't actually Matt. Did Danny Rand start flirting with everyone when he was Daredevil?)

GorfZaplen posted:What's going on, give me the dirt. Year 4 is three issues in. The main stuff going on: - The gods are kind of pissed that people don't worship them anymore and it seems that Ares is trying to do something about it. Ares and Batman are working together in some way. Also, Batman has a beard, probably because Injustice is a NetherRealm property. - Catwoman's bailed on the resistance because they've kind of fallen apart. - Montoya's become a complete alcoholic after the events of Year 3. Driven by grief, she's proceeded to take a super-pill, beat up Robin, called out Superman for a public throwdown and just ingested a handful more pills. - Harley has grown bored and has decided to force Shazam into hanging out with her. On one hand, it makes sense that Harley would be into a handsome super dude with the mind of a child, but on the other hand, it's completely creepy. (south.park.nice.jpg)

I'm pretty certain that Brian Buccellato can't tell the difference between Batwoman and Huntress. Or he didn't realize that Taylor had them as married. Or editorial told him to sweep that under the rug. Because Huntress died and Renee took it way too hard to the point of having to drunkenly call up old girlfriends while she and Batwoman have zero interaction. Then when Renee dies, Huntress doesn't seem to be all that affected.

Won't Sinestro interfering with the duel on Superman's behalf mean he's lost? Way to go Sinestro.
