The OFFICIAL FINAL CRISIS THREAD

[WompuM]

Oh. I didn't read the whole solicit. I would have picked up on that. My bad.

 

[Darthphere]

Lawl!

 

[Not Jake]

I, want to have anal relations with J.G. Jones. But that's...that's just me.

 

[Mee]

You want him to draw you all night long.

I don't think this has been posted in this thread, so for completeness sake:

Libra's first and only appearance was Justice League of America #111 from the early 1970s. "Libra was absorbed into the universe itself, effectively disintegrating him and spreading his essence across the cosmos"

Scan of original appearance:

You may call me -- LIBRA!

 

[WompuM]

I gotta say, the new design is an improvement. I bet there's a big mustache under that mask.

Good find, cheers.

 

[Assassin]

I think Libra is Jimmy Olson.

 

[Mee]

Olsen even.

 

[WompuM]

I feel as if Libra isn't the concern here. When infinite crisis happened, did anyone expect the main villian to be alex luthor or SBP?

 

[Not Jake]

yes.

 

[Anubis]

Ya think SBP is dead?

 

[yahman]

Ya think SBP is dead?

Is that a sarcastic question, becasue i remember us aving a debate over the meaining of the word ? Any way if it sin't Im 99 % sure SBP is still alive, as Geoff Johns stated in a recent interview that he would be the next writer to be 'doing him'. Whether this refers to Final Crisis 0 or maybe one of his regular titles, i don't know.

The people at DC don't like us that much.

 

[Kitsune]

I think Libra is Jimmy Olson.

Does that mean that Gemini is "Mary Kate and Ashley"

 

[Mogwai]

^^"you got it, dude."

 

[Visceral]

SBP is the only character that keeps me interested here johns really did something great with him in IC and i think he could make for some good stories.

 

[Anubis]

Well, at the very least, Captain *****ebag whipped his ass but good.

 

[spectre]

this is what i don't like about final crisis, the two guys who seem to be at the center of this libra and the human flame are two obscure villains who appeared like once during the seventies and haven't been heard from since. bad form morrison.

 

[WompuM]

Just because it's not joker and lex luthor doesnt mean it won't be a fantastic story. Read some of morrison's work, in particular, animal man, and try and bash obscure characters after that.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I mean, the Joker and Luthor just had a Crisis that they participated in. Just give DC a couple more years and I'm sure there'll be another Crisis that some more big names can join in on.

Well, at the very least, Captain *****ebag whipped his ass but good.

Ha, did he? I'm almost sad I missed that.

Oh, except I still wouldn't know why Captain Monarch is acting nothing like Captain Atom for no apparent reason, which would've sucked all the enjoyment out of it for me anyway.

 

[yenaled]

SBP was awesome fighting Monach. Can't believe I was cheering for the little whiney idiot.

Though "growing him" into an adult was one of the most ******ed ideas DC have had.

I presume after that issue of Countdown Monarch has been time displaced again - like what would happen to Captain Atom. So many he'll not be Monarch anymore.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

For some reason 11 and 12 felt so uneventful...

That doesn't really rectify the situation though, does it? He was still Monarch for a pretty significant stretch of time for no ****ing reason whatsoever. I honestly can't believe that has escaped the notice of everyone at DC for so long. It makes me lose a lot of faith in the whole company's competence as a storytelling business that they didn't find it necessary to actually show us why an established character who's a major part of a major event is behaving 100% unlike his established characterization.

"That's some shameful ****." - The Bunk

The thing that gets me is that if he had just shown up in Ctdn as this crazy dictator dude, then okay. He did leak radiation or whatever in Bludhaven and maybe the suit has affected him. That at least leaves room for the imagination.

However, Cap. Atom/Monarch appeared completely sane during his appearance in the Ion maxi. He took his mask off, he was smiling. I think he even helped Kyle find his way out of the Bleed. Then he appears in Ctdn and is all like "time to takeover the Multiverse and be evil."

For the record, I enjoy SBP. I think they've taken the character's immaturity, brattyness, or whatever to ridiculous lengths as of late. He can be immature without sounding mildly ******ed.
