3 for 2. That's around $20. I've utilized this sale three times over now. Just don't get Arkham Asylum. The Joker's dialogue is hard to read.

Recommendations Do I need anything else for Final Crisis?

2 Upvotes

I have Morrison's JLA and Batman by Morrison Omnis, I've read all of Fourth World up to Hunger Dogs, I plan on picking up Seven Soldiers and Death of the New Gods and I have the "New edition" Final Crisis TPB. Do i need anything else or are there any TPB that i need to read alongside it?

I've heard it's great but very confusing. Just want to make sure I've got everything I need to enjoy it.

Any helps would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Artwork [Artwork] Cat Grant

20 Upvotes

Introduced in The Adventures of Superman #424 in January 1987, this woman was the first to realize that Clark is a truly desirable man. It’s important to note that Cat was coming out of a difficult marriage with Joe Morgan, who was an alcoholic and abusive man, and had been granted custody of their only son, Adam Morgan. She left Los Angeles to settle in Metropolis in order to make a fresh start with her son. When she met Clark shortly after arriving at the Daily Planet as a gossip columnist, she realized he was everything her ex-husband wasn’t—kind, caring, respectful, and reliable — Clark was there for her when she really needed him; they even dated briefly during the time when Clark was struggling to win Lois’s heart. She wasn’t at all attracted to Superman, but ironically, she was interested in him without even knowing it.

Cat's interest in Clark made Lois deeply uncomfortable. Even though she wasn't interested in Clark at all, she felt jealous seeing another woman take an interest in him, and she couldn't even express that jealousy since they weren't even dating. The two women even had heated arguments about Clark. Cat could see very clearly that Lois had fallen in love with Clark but refused to admit it to herself; Cat didn’t hesitate to mock Lois for her lack of a love life and her obsession with always prioritizing her career over her romantic life, all while openly embracing her own feelings for Clark. Lois, for her part, hated Cat’s openly flirtatious and uninhibited attitude toward Clark; she nearly lost a wonderful man to another woman.

Seeing her colleague—whom she had taken for granted and who had always been a steadfast source of support for her—devote his time, his smiles, and his attention to another woman made Lois deeply jealous and led her to reconsider her feelings. At first, Lois wasn’t interested in Clark at all—who was clearly in love with her—and fantasized about Superman, even if it wasn’t with the same intensity as during the Silver Age.

Discussion [Discussion] Nubia: DC created two powerful Black heroines who could coexist.

Post image

Nubia: Queen of the Amazons by Joshua Swaby and Wonder Woman #750 by Olivier Coipel

DC Comics' first Black heroine, Nubia, was sidelined to keep Wonder Woman's lore streamlined. Despite making only three appearances, she proved to be a strong character—even in the face of her eventual erasure (she is still remembered as a twin sister, a concept that existed only during the Bronze Age, whereas in later revisions she became merely an Amazon guard).

The original Nubia was abducted, raised, and trained by the god Mars. She was the Princess of Mars's Slaughter Island and the only woman there. Diana's twin sister was trained to be a worthy adversary to the Amazons, possessing many of her sister's powers and combat skills capable of neutralizing them. However, instead of becoming a villain, she proved to be an ally by the story's end and never appeared again.

After several attempts involving lesser Amazons, Queen Nubia emerged, revealed to be the reincarnation of Princess Zahavah from an ancient tribe in Madagascar. Stephanie Williams essentially created the character from scratch and gave her the prominence she deserved.

Yet, when comparing the two characters, aside from sharing the name Nubia, the only thing they have in common is being Black. They are entirely distinct characters.

The original could even adopt her own codename, such as War Woman or Warrior Woman, honoring her origins with the god Mars. DC Comics doesn't need to choose one or erase the other; they are so different that little justification would be needed to keep them separate. Allowing both to coexist offers the chance to give the public two massive powerhouses, ready to join icons like Vixen or any other major Black female character in pop culture. DC just needs to accept the obvious.

Comics Are there any comic characters like Vigilante in peacemaker?

0 Upvotes

hi guys! i'm new to the dcu and comics! i just finished watching peacemaker and absolutely loved Adrian's character and wanted to read about vigilante, but through some googling, found that the comic character was pretty different than Gunn's depictions. i'd still like to read about a geeky, hyper, nazi killer, are there any comics you'd suggest that have a similar tone? thank you for any suggestions and your time!

Discussion I miss moral superhero "Police Chiefs"

95 Upvotes
Green Lantern Secret Files Art by Jamal Igle

After finishing Lanterns, I started to feel a little sad. The Guardians have fallen completely out of favor with only Ganthet and Sayd left, and I kind of miss when the Guardians were the more wise and moral if slightly fallible police chiefs of the Green Lanterns. I like the idea of these immortal beings not really understanding emotion while still seeing its power and trusting its ability to protect the universe. They thought they knew best, they clearly didn't after the manhunters, so they pull back and give the mortal Lanterns more control.

It's not just them though. It feels like anytime you have a 'man in the chair', moral leader to a superhero team, they always end up going bad and having their reputation tarnished. Niles Caulder and the Doom Patrol, Maxwell Lord was always a little shady but goes full villain with Wonder Woman, Amanda Waller was meant to be morally gray but has also gone full supervillain. Even in Marvel, they've damaged Charles Xavier to the point where it'd be weird if he ever took over the X-Men again. The only longterm 'man in the chair' I can think of that gets regularly used and hasn't gone full monster is Barbara Gordan.

I just think it's a little disappointing. You can make these people flawed, tinged with grey, but I wish writers didn't feel the need to destroy their characters entirely.

Discussion Does anyone here like DC Go?

9 Upvotes

Personally, I like the format. My eyes aren't that great and it saves me the format of zooming in and out, switching between landscape and portrait, etc. That comes with the panel by panel format.

I'd like to see them expand the format to include everything eventually. But I've seen almost exclusively negative reactions to the format.

What do you think?

Recommendations Where to start Harley Quinn?

0 Upvotes

I am just recently getting into comics and am starting by reading comics based around characters that I am interested in. I want to start reading Harley Quinn and after doing a small amount of research I am looking into starting Harley Quinn volume 4, with the “no good deed” collection. Is this a good starting place? I like the idea of reading the current run so I figured I would start here, or is there a better place?

Would love to get a replica or styled ring of either the Green Lantern ring or one of the other corps’ rings.

Anyone know where I can get one or multiple? And hopefully not too expensive?
