The Official DC Stupid Question Thread....

[Anubis]

No Prob. That's what we're here for. That and the fact that we don't have s**t else to do.

 

[Punisher RULES]

That being said, what was the first George Perez Wonder Woman reboot like? I'm a huge fan of John Byrne's Superman reboot and if its anything like Man Of Steel, I might as well add that to my list.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I loved Perez's first post-Crisis WW story. That was one of the first full Wonder Woman stories I read from start to finish.

 

[BrianWilly]

Perez's Wonder Woman reboot is quite excellent and stands the test of time incredibly well; to this day I still consider it her "Year One."

Rucka's run, of course, is my favorite.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I was surprised that Perez's Wonder Woman comics were from the '80s. They were pretty sophisticated for the time period, and they're very enjoyable by today's standards.

Is SUPERMAN: WORLD OF NEW KRYPTON an ongoing? Thinkin about checking it out. Same for Flash: Rebirth.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

No, both are mini-series.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Ah ha, thank ya

If you want to keep up on Superman the character, read WORLD OF NEW KRYPTON. That's where he's hanging out right now. ACTION COMICS is following Nightwing and Flamebird, and SUPERMAN is following Mon-El. But it's all tied together.

Any news of the Real Aquaman coming back anytime soon?
I know he was supposed to appear in the Black Lantern stuff maybe, but any news of an ongoing or something?
It's been years and years since we've had a decent Aquaman book and I'm beginning to go through withdrawals. Also, what are the chances they'll put a decent writer on the book and make it a super-hero adventure again instead of trying to force that "Underwater Conan " crap on us?


Also, Ted Kord.
He's one of my top five superheroes, but all I've read of him has been in JLI, Justice League Classified, Booster, and of course, Identity Crisis.

Is there anywhere else I could read some of his adventures? I know he had a mini-series in the early 80's, and I found one issue of it, but the writing was more than a bit stilted and hard to read through. Does he make any other appearances I could snag somewhere?

I realize I love some B-list characters, but I think they're great. The guys at my comic shop don't seem to know jack squat, so I figured I'd ask here.
Thanks guys.

Aquaman returned off-panel in Final Crisis, Morrison wanted to allow DC to set up a big relaunch of him as soon as possible. But no news yet - apart from Geoff Johns talking about Blackest Night (which doesn't really make sense).

Ted Kord's best stuff honestly was in JLI (also seems to be rumours of him returning).

Ahh, that could be why I hadn't heard. I don't buy mega-events as a general rule.

And thanks for the Ted update. I REALLY hope he makes a comeback soon.
I like Jaime Reyes, but I want Ted back too. If we can have 5 GL's, Two Wild-Cat's, and multiple everybody else's, I don't see why we can't have Two Blue Beetles.

I def need my Superman fix, he's been boring me in JLA lately so I'm def gonna check out WoNK(lol wonk). Corp was tellin me about Mon-El, sounds like a cool character. Is it a future story? Cuz the Legion is from like waaaay in the future.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Mon-El is in the present in Superman's comic. Presumably, he ends up back in the Phantom Zone so that he can be pulled out in the Legion's time later on, but he came out early in Superman's comic.

 

[yenaled]

It's only been one issue with Mon-El in charge of the title but it was a very promising issue.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Does he already have lead poisoning? That's why he went into the Phantom Zone, right?

 

[Lobo]

I've not ever read The Losers, but the movie is making it sound very interesting. On a scale of 1-10, how good is it, and is the series available in Trade form?

 

[Anubis]

It was pretty good, and I believe it is.

 

[yenaled]

Does he already have lead poisoning? That's why he went into the Phantom Zone, right?

Yeah, he was released because the Phantom Zone was collapsing. They've cured the Lead Poisoning now (I actually can't remember how).

It's obviously going to prove to be temporary and he'll end up back in the Phantom Zone at some point.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, depending on how Sodam Yat is still alive in Legion of Three Worlds, he may just live that long. I don't think we ever heard that it's definitely Ion keeping Yat alive, right?

 

[Jordacar]

The cure was just sitting there on the shelf with a note that said "For Mon-El" or something. Superman is wondering why the Legion didn't just come back and hand it to him personally, so that's the unresolved question for right now. I haven't read Legion of 3 Worlds yet, maybe it gets answered in there.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

So it's implied that it came from the Legion? Okay, I guess that makes sense. It seemed kind of odd that 21st-century Earth could come up with a cure that it took Brainiac 5 a while to figure out with 31st-century tech.

 

[yenaled]

Ahhh yes that's right, it was from the Legion.

 

[BrianWilly]

OR WAS IT.

Well yeah it probably was.
