[Kebab gud]

can a world war be confined to 1-3 weeks ?

 

[Darthphere]

Thats what I'm thinking.

 

[BrianWilly]

I'm so there.

 

[BrianWilly]

I do wonder how the war could happen in week fifty and then two weeks later everyone is all happy and OYL and stuff.

Update: DC has provided Newsarama the full solicitation copy for the four April World War iii specials..

[Darthphere]

[Kebab gud]

ok so one missing hero and one reborn...
i live in a blind hope that one of them is Ice... i miss ice..


<-- sad panda

 

[BrianWilly]

Missing hero in space...I'm guessing it'll be Adam Strange, tying in that plotline with this.

Though what would have happened to Starfire in the interim...I'm just going to guess Skrulls.

Reborn hero is obviously Pantha.

SUICIDE SQUAD BY JOHN OSTRANDER!?

There are three possible answers:
A) I've died and gone to heaven.
B) I just had a party in my pants.
C) Ostrander is God and I'm his apostle.
D) All of the above. D

 

[Eros]

This "War" seems laughable, because according to the one year later comics, it effected nothing at all. Its like the war was so forgettable, nobody even remembers it happened anymore.

 

[BrianWilly]

Well, they remembered it in JSA.

We can assume that every instance of people talking about the war just happened off-panel or something.

 

[Eros]

We can assume that every instance of people talking about the war just happened off-panel or something.

But the war seemingly changed nothing, nobody was worse off[or changed] in one year later stories.

 

[BrianWilly]

Apparently, for a lot of characters like Martian Manhunter and Nightwing and Cassandra Cain and the Titans, it's the reason that they changed.

Your right, all the changes sucked to.

[Tropico]

Dc is just trying to steal Marvel's Tunderbolts.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

I do wonder how the war could happen in week fifty and then two weeks later everyone is all happy and OYL and stuff.


...a hero is reborn...?

Hh.

A hero also dies, on a kids team, like it's original or something.

 

[Mee]

Ostrander should so have Johnny Karaoke's grandfather or something in his issues.

[Darthphere]
