Somebody's got a lightning bolt to meet...

― Huk-L, Monday, 16 May 2005 13:56 (twenty years ago)

And Power Girl is apparently from the future:

(dc cover images for August are leaked here: http://www.herorealm.com/solicits/DCupuRsAlx28nol/DCU/ --take note also: Greatest Imaginary Stories!!!)

OMG, check out the Gotham Central cover!!!

I wonder if that Gotham Central cover was from an internal memo to Rob Liefeld.

― Tom (Groke), Monday, 16 May 2005 14:06 (twenty years ago)

And it's not even, strictly speaking, a superhero book!

Meanwhile here's the text solicit for Batgirl: On a quest to learn the identity of her mother, Cassandra Cain must travel to the Aegean Sea to find the elusive Lady Shiva.

Sounds like somebody's face is on a collision course with Joker's crowbar.

What's Luanne Platter doing in Gotham?

― Le (Leee), Monday, 16 May 2005 15:47 (twenty years ago)

She's seeking vengeance against he what turned over her momma's mobile home.

Is that Ambush Bug on the Flash cover? (Second from left, second row from bottom?)

― Chuck_Tatum (Chuck_Tatum), Monday, 16 May 2005 16:34 (twenty years ago)

No, that's, um, can't remember his name. Tragic not-quite-villain, radioactive. Used to power Iron Heights Penitentiary (where they keep Flash's badguys). Easily defeated by carbon rods.

― Huk-L, Monday, 16 May 2005 16:39 (twenty years ago)

what's the principle behind the selection of those ppl? are they all dead? or is that completely off?

― tom west (thomp), Monday, 16 May 2005 17:24 (twenty years ago)

They're all Flash's enemies (except, is that Jay Garrick in the right top corner? Or does he have an evil counterpart too?).

The page is an obvious rip though of: http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/2973/200/2973_2_05.jpg

― Huk-L, Monday, 16 May 2005 17:28 (twenty years ago)

Oh, that's the cover to the final episode of ROGUE WAR, where Flash's enemies are fighting each other...and Flash.

― Huk-L, Monday, 16 May 2005 17:29 (twenty years ago)

Jay has got an eevil counterpart - they fought in an old JSA story. "Rival" or something lame like that...

― Mark C (Markco), Monday, 16 May 2005 17:40 (twenty years ago)

Look, it's my arch-rival, Rival! And he's teamed up my worst enemy, Enemy! I better call in my faithful ward, Ward.

uh that means jay garrick's still alive, right? because i would not like it if jay garrick was dead, no sir

― tom west (thomp), Monday, 16 May 2005 18:19 (twenty years ago)

If he does die, you can always start J.E.E.P.

― Huk-L, Monday, 16 May 2005 18:48 (twenty years ago)

Wow, I'd love to get a copy of that Greatest Imaginary Stories book!

― Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Monday, 16 May 2005 19:13 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, if it's softcover, I'm gettin' it for sure!

― Huk-L, Monday, 16 May 2005 19:16 (twenty years ago)

Jay Garrick is still a main character in JSA, Tom, and still has the same dorky helmet. Also he pops up regularly in Flash

― Mark C (Markco), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 11:03 (twenty years ago)

There was some weird thing between Jay Garrick and Captain Marvel in JSA where Garrick thought Cap was a big red pervert because he was macking on teenaged Stargirl, not realizing that Captain Marvel is really a 15-yr-old kid.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:41 (twenty years ago)

Am I the only one who felt that awful twinge of guilt at finding a cartoon lady HOTT after looking at Adam Hughes's Catwoman cover?

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 17 May 2005 15:14 (twenty years ago)

I'm pleading the 5th on this case, especially in regards to David Finch's Spider-Woman, about whom I NEVER SAID ANYTHING.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 15:22 (twenty years ago)

WAIT A SEC: I just browsed the DC solicits for August, and are they actually pre-empting David Lapham's boffo DC story to go back & address stupid War Games crap? Or is DL's run only 8 issues?

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 16:19 (twenty years ago)

Oh yeah, I'm a little miffed. That's been my number one anticipatory book (since The Question ended), but they're squeezing the two issues into one month. But cripes, isn't that what Gotham Knights is for?

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 17 May 2005 16:26 (twenty years ago)

thanks all. huk did you have anything particular in mind that JEEP could actually stand for bcz i'm blanking.

(who did that power girl cover?)
(i want the cover to fables 40 to really explicitly reveal who the adversary was like a 60s cover w/ speech bubbles etc. but no dice)

― tom west (thomp), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 22:17 (twenty years ago)

Jay Everlasting Eternal Preservation, of course.
Or maybe, Jeez, Eliminating the Elderly Psucks.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 18 May 2005 03:56 (twenty years ago)

i think the helmet's cool!

― j blount (papa la bas), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 04:43 (twenty years ago)

word to that!
it's sort of greek gods/wwI-chic, and you can eat cereal out of it.

― Huk, Wednesday, 18 May 2005 04:53 (twenty years ago)

Also useful when playing Go Fish!

Wow, and Jiminez's journey to the Perez Side is now complete.

― Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 21:20 (twenty years ago)

Dude, Jiminez BEGAN his journey on the Perez side!

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 22:48 (twenty years ago)
