One of them (don't ask me which one) died in some crossover or Flash event some years ago. He was running up the wall of some building when he lost his powers, fell down and SPLOTCH!
And yes, Messner-Loebs' Flash was lovely.

chuck register and then go to the introduce yourself thread/forum which will be one of the few things you'll see and start a thread introducing yourself, post it, and then immediately you'll have access to the rest of the site. look for the tracker 'forums' at the bottom then.

I don't remember reading this, but it sounds very much like the Gene Bomb in INVASION!, doesn't it?

Also d/led: The Brave & the Bold #200, final issue, Batman/Batman by Mike W. Barr & Dave Gibbons. Turns out, I used to have this as well, but I had completely forgotten about it. A strange tale of Earths 1 & 2 and a man named Brimstone (with AWESOME hair) who traversed the multi-dimensional barrier using only his hatred for Batman.Justice League of America #171 & 172 Another Earth 1 & Earth 2 story. This one concerns the annual team-up of the JLA/JSA and the death of the original Mr. Terrific. I remember getting the first issue from a used bin when I was a kid, and then I never found the conclusion, so I've just been walking around like a moron for all these years wondering who killed Mr. T. Turns out it was Jay Garrick, but the JL/SA decided that since they've always liked Jay Garrick more than Terry Sloane anyway, they'd just wipe their own minds and forget about it.

The Brave & the Bold #85, Peak Neal Adams, 1st appearance of Green Arrow's beard! Amazingly, I've read this before! It must have been reprinted in one of those DC Blue Ribbon Digests. Still, fantastic non-fantastic Bob Haney story. Bruce Wayne, congressman! Batman and GA share a psychiatrist! Psychiatrist uses self-hypnosis to remove knowledge of their secret IDs! Who needs Zatanna?

I can't believe Big Sir got his own card. Did any of the other Injustice Leaguers?

No, that's fair enough. Being really quick reads also helps me get through 60-odd in a day.
Anyway:
Teen Titans Go! 1-20 odd
This is definitely the comic book of the TV Series, with the return of actual editor's captions, which refer to episodes of the TV show rather than other comics. Does the current rake of 'Adventures' (comics of DC TV animations) do this? I assume old-school toy comics (G.I.Joe, Transformers, Zoids) must have done this a certain amount.
The comics all read really quickly, like they'd be a good five-minute time-filler in one of the TV episodes. I never realised until reading them, what a strange continuity situation the series was in - they're characters from 20 years ago, in the modern world. Because I'd read Gotham Central's Dead Robin arc just before this, which has a Titans containing Beast Boy, Cyborg, Raven and Robin III, I didn't notice that this one was Dick Grayson until it's (literally) spelled out. Though guest stars from Wildebeest and Speedy should probably have tipped me off :)
Also I read Power Pack 1-5, out of a massive torrent of all of them ever, and thought "Yes, this is roughly what I remember, I'll stop now". They're great characters, but that might be the problem: they're so like actual kids that spending more than a short amount of time with them can get pretty annoying.

No, old school G.I.Joe and Transformers had continuities independent from the actual toys and the other tie-ins. And in the case of Larry Hama's Joe and the British Transformers, their continuities were way more intricate and way, way more awesome, although Hama's eventually died from an overdose of the crappy new toys he kept having to shoehorn in to his stories. (Well, OK, the ninja thing didn't help after a while either.)

Over the weekend, I d/led THE GREAT DARKNESS SAGA (whose central mystery is spoiled by the cover of the trade, dirty fuckers) and the first 37 (complete pre-Zero Hour?) issues of the Five Year Gap Legion.

I just found a motherlode of The Question, including a truly horrendous Question/Blue Beetle team-up from 1981 (Charlton's last gasp?).

I just finished (like three hours ago) my marathon of pre-Crisis Flash, from #300 STRAIGHT THROUGH to #350. Ye gods. Infantino, I really don't know what to make of you. Your loose lines (covers inked by Klaus Jansen, which makes it all wonderful) are sometimes immaculate, sometimes asinine. The panels where Barry Allen gets his face bashed in are really, really something.I really, really feel sorry for the Flash. He was put through hell for nearly three years before his title was cancelled, and then he gets sent off to the future to be reunited with his formerly-dead wife, but by that time, I think he's already dead!
