To me a "Why is Writer X still getting work?" is usually a response to a writer who has either chased me off a book or is getting a lot of books I'd otherwise read.

If a writer or artist you...

I'd love to see a world like John Byrne's Generations but with the heroes actually having an impact on history. Maybe that will be Pax Americana in Multiversity, maybe not.

Imagine the Cold...

I was trying to describe the two extremes. On the one end of the scale comics with absolutely no sexuality to them. Porn was the other end, comics that existed entirely as an expression of...

I'm not 100% sure on this.

Reading about characters who are totally asexual wouldn't appeal to me. But if I want porn I can find more interesting versions than drawings on a page.

Did Snow and Emma ever learn that the Wraith they "tossed in a portal" was the one that killed Sleeing Beauty and Mulan's prince? Because if they did- what were they thinking with the whole "toss...

I had to go with a 5. Some of the stuff has been very enjoyable (The Shadow, The Spider), some has been lukewarm (Masks, Black Bat).

On average the stand-out stuff has been the exception. The...

OMD broke Spider-man for me. Before that story I was reading about what happened to Peter Parker. I knew this was all fictional and that there were writers making these events up, but when reading...

While I get the "no one is irreplacable" mantra, I think Downey's Stark is a large part of the draw. A recast requires finding a way to keep the same charm without it coming off as the new actor...

It's a matter of interpretation.

Originally we were told that the DC Comics of Earth 1 had published the Golden Age stories that occured on Earth 2. There must have been a gap where the E2...

We could... except Superman made a point of telling his cousin exactly that in the Action Comics panels a the top of this page. Now I have no idea if it would have been legal to sleep with my...

Yes, that second panel is interesting

Forget, the fact I have Lois, Lana, and pretty much my pick of women on Earth.
Forget that I'm twice you age.
If Krypton wasn't so prudish about incest........

Then why bother with justifying the change as anything more than "my boss wanted it that way"? Once Denny says he thought the changes served a purpose other than pleasing Schwartz or marking a new...

Yeah, that's the Webster's definiton. It's just not what is implied by making the claim of being an orphan.

I'm adopted. Never knew my birth parents. They might have died at any point now....

It also had the problem of adding one more identity to Bruce's pre-Batman life. Just off the top of my head he was the first Robin, the Flying Fox, and now the Executioner. Trying to juggle that...

But, just my opinion- it functions better with it.




It's one of those things where the literal definition applies, but what most people use the word for doesn't. Most people don't refer to...

Sounds more like a limit on Denny's ability to come up with ideas than anything else., to me. It's akin to saying you can write a great Sherlock Holmes story... but only if you have Holmes'...

I'm still trying to figure out Bae's connection to Peter Pan myself. We know Bae is in Neverland, but so far the shadow seems like a more twisted take on Pan. So is the assumption Bae will become...

Oh and one more- Superman met various incarnations of Batman during Zero Hour. One or more of those were the Golden-Age Batman. But that story was set in the present.

Yes.

In once case, a villian with reality warping powers for reasons I can't fully recall forced Superman to experience four different realities. One of them was very similar to the Golden Age...

Except Superman cannot alter history. If he travels back to atime where he already exists then he is a phantom and has no physical presence to intervene at all. If somehow the original crime...

I agree. Imagine the 1940's serials and the 1950's TV show developing from that story as well. I wonder if there'd be people over on the other thread suggesting a Superman where Lois never learned...

I'm not sure who Kal-L was powerwise. Are we talking the guy who appeared in JLA#72 and was able to go toe-to-toe with Kal-El to the point that both collapsed in stalemate? Are we talking the guy...

I'm not 100% sure what I am arguing for :smile:

There have been super-feats that even I wince at and wish had never been suggested or shown. That dragging planets around with chains would qualify...

He can struggle without it being related to his physical ability.

1) An innocent man is on Death Row and Superman has to free him. At no point in the story is Superman in any personal danger. ...

I didn't mean there was no darkness Post-Crisis. That was meant as a response to the assertion that the death of the Kents was at odds with Superman as representing "hope and light" as if there...
