DC Relaunching Everything? - Part 7

[RockSP]

that's not really new though, they've been doing that with x-titles since the 70's

Really? What other X-books were there besides Uncanny back then?

I know when I first started reading X-Men as a kid in the 80's there was only Uncanny and New Mutants (which had only been around for a year or so).

 

[Anubis]

X-Factor was in the 80's as well.

 

[Anubis]

Also, Spidey and the Thing had a bunch of books in the 70's and 80's.

Classic bait-and-switch. They ****ing suck.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Where have you been? It seems like we've known about this for a month. Sucks that Helena B. is another character that gets to be erased by flashpoint.

 

[RoughNTumble]

You thought it'd be batman and superman? We've known it's huntress and power girl for a while <_<

If anything were to turn me off to this book, it'd be how the artist gave power girl an awful feathered 80's hairstyle.

[Mystirious]

I kind of like her hair there personally

It's kind of cute

 

[redhawk23]

There are way too many Batman titles.

 

[Mystirious]

Batwoman, Batman, Batgirl and Batwing are the best ones to get

 

[RoughNTumble]

I'd say batman, batwoman, batman and robin, red hood, penguin pain and prejudice

 

[Mystirious]

I really want to check out the rest of that mini series

Agreed. World's finest? Mmh, no. Und Huntress? My poor beloved Huntress? I loved her, I used to love the character, like I did with all the Birds of Prey in fact, but now... maybe it is a good thing to "relaunch everything" but thesad part is when they changed something cool. Or at least that I found cool. I can't say I'll buy this book.

 

[Lord]

Wait, so this huntress is the daughter of the golden age batman and this power girl is the cousin of golden age superman?

 

[Primal Slayer]

yes and no. They are basically just the daughter/cousin of Earth 2 Batman/Superman. But they will be new Earth2 versions and somehow ended up trap on Earth 1 during the conversion of Flashpoint. I wish they would/do mention that Helena B. was merged with Helena Wayne with HW getting HBs memories so she can atleast have lived on in some way.

 

[Saint]

I'll give it a shot just because Power Girl is sweet.

 

[Anubis]

That would be unnecessarily complicated. Like when they tried to do the same boos**t with Carter Hall and Katar Hol. I'd rather have Helena B, but eh, what chu gonna do? Making an even bigger mess of things certainly is not what I would do.

 

[Themanofbat]

X-Factor was in the 80's as well.

Well, to be fair, it was summer of 1986, so the decade was more than half over.

Also, Spidey and the Thing had a bunch of books in the 70's and 80's.

Spidey had 3 books tops in the 70's... ASM, & Marvel Team-Up which began in 1972, and then Peter Parker: Spectacular Spider-Man in 1976.

And other than the FF, the Thing only appeared regularly in Marvel Two-In-One in the 70's... when that series was cancelled in 1983, it was replaced by a 3 year run of The Thing...

I'm not sure what the definition of a "bunch" is...

 

[Anubis]

More than one.

 

[Themanofbat]

World's Finest only works for me with Supes and Bats...

 

[Themanofbat]

More than one.

Gotcha...

Well DC likes the complicated. Thats why they change their characters origins every year so they can keep us on our feet.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

World's Finest only works for me with Supes and Bats...

Ditto. Zero interest in Huntress and even less in the Helena Wayne version.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I would've thought about it if it was Bertellini. And if To kept drawing it.

 

[CConn]

Honestly, I don't think I would've had much interest in it even if it was Batman and Supes.

Superman/Batman showed glimpses of being an absolutely awesome anthology series and time and time again DC let it drop in quality by using subpar creative teams and consistently having a lack of solid editorial direction.
