Is that... Deliverance the Pursuer?

Does that mean Starfire, Animal Man and Adam Strange are on Adon, hmm...

I think the forever people are going to be in this.

The New Gods are back!

Also that Black Adam cover is gorgeous.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Is that... Deliverance the Pursuer?

Yes, it is.

Does that mean Starfire, Animal Man and Adam Strange are on Adon, hmm...

Looks like this is where we find out which of the three meet death, Starfire would be my pick for this one. Her status wasn't revealed yet in Teen Titans, just a guess.

I'm really curious as to who these three new heroes will be, and it seems issue #11 is where we finally see the debut of Batwoman.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Is that... Deliverance the Pursuer?

Nope. It's actually Devilance the Pursuer. Deliverance is his inbred cousin.

 

[Green Lantern]

With banjo picking action feature

 

[Dr. Mid-Nite]

This is great, I have the name of my all time favorite hero and I get to talk in a thread involving the Hype's own Batman and Green Lantern!

Anyway, 52 is really looking to be DC's greatest book when it hits shelves. Everything of how it'll explain what led up to One Year Later is what I'm looking forward to the most, I also DON'T want to see The Question die. He's such an awesome character, also the art the book is seriously something worth seeing and it's packed with some of my all time favorite writers. I may be new to this site, but I've been a comic fan for years. So for sure, I'll be picking up my copy of issue 1 when it arrives next month.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

well we finally get to see supernova on the cover with clark kent, so i guess we can rule it's conner.

 

[Lackey]

I wonder why the newspaper says The Daily Star???

 

[The Leaguer]

Most newspapers have names, like "Washington Post" or "New York Times." Newspapers print those names at the tops of the front pages of their papers in big, bold print, so that readers know what they're reading. Chances are that the "Daily Star" on that paper signifies that the paper is called "Daily Star."

 

[Darthphere]

So i guess this kind of removes the Connor is Supernova theories?

 

[cerealkiller182]

I wonder why the newspaper says The Daily Star???

Maybe hes not in metropolis. They prolly just changed the name of the Daily Planet

 

[Wargod]

It seems that Supernova isn't Superboy...

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

no ****. he kinda of looks like red-tornado, maybe he's the military secret weapon, but they revamped him?

 

[The BatDude]

 

[Assassin]

where do you work?

when i'm online? a Hotel front desk, when not, a grocerie store, produce dept.

 

[Assassin]

Is that... Deliverance the Pursuer?

No, thats Galaktas


side note, newsarama no longer has that super nova pic on the site, its been taken down


is that a bat symbol on his chest? (supernova)

 

[yenaled]

It really looks like Red Tornado.

BTW, there has always been a Daily Star in post-COIE Earth, it's just another paper in the USA.

the military probably dismantled his arse and rebuilt him with new powers. i think they added on to his existing powers. hmm

yes, golden age, then earth 2

 

[yenaled]

Well, they can't "give him new powers" his powers come from him being a wind elemental.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

yeah,but seeing how the government has alien technology, who knows the extent of how they can implement that tech in red-tornado.
