52 Series Discussion (spoilers!)

Zombipanda said:
A timeline would be a little much. I'm thinking of a basic description of the DCU before both Crises, then an explanation of what the Crisis was, what changes have been affected to the setting as a whole, and then bullet point each OYL series/miniseries, with all the details of the changes to the characters/settings.

yeah, kind awhat i was getting at, but timeline was a bad choice of words.

You should read DC Comics because they're way awesome. Buddy and the Question are my two favorite non-A-listers in the DCU, and it sucks, but I have faith. And there's plenty of sick DC books out right now. ;) Ask me what, and I'll be happy to break down a reading list for you. For that matter, what does everyone think about setting up a thread that covers the current OYL/52 state of affairs across all the DCU lines, so that everyone's up to date, and new readers have something of a primer?

Also, **** this thread. I didn't pick any books up today, and I didn't want anything spoiled, because I knew a space character was going to die (and I KNEW it was going to be Buddy) but I was ****ed up enough that I clicked on the thread without even thinking. Now you bastards have spoiled it for me. I hate you, Project, and I plan on wearing your scalp as a beanie..... Not because of the fact that I hate you, but because it's in fashion.

Sorry about the spoiler =(

This is one of my favourite issues so far. I almost cried when Buddy died. Animal Man is one of the greatest DC characters ever. At least he had his time in the spotlight.

Rip Hunter is awesome. I loved all his dialogue.

The Question has to live so he can find The Answer.

MOTHER ****ING SONS OF *****ES

This is really starting to get to me. Lets kill Animal Man, but put Vixen in the JLA.

****ing DC. Getting me all riled up.
 
Guys, he was injected with the zombifying toxin, and Lady Stx isn't dead, because she's in the current Mystery of Space

Buddy ain't dead, he's now a zombie

I haven't read it, but zombified Animal-Man doesn't make me much happier.

As for Lady Styx in Mystery in Space, I like the "space heros are in teh Legion time' theory." I doubt its right, but its the one I like.

Maybe they are in the DC 1,000,000 year.

Or the Kingdom Come years

There's too much guessing, why bother, let's just see how it eventually ends, which obviously will be in the blockbuster event of next summer, which leads to fal...

I hate comic books

Well, they just keep running into Legion stuff. The Emerald Eye especially. Starfire's going to end up going all Emerald Empress on Styx's ***, just you wait.
 
I was just about to post that, Proj.... I'm going to end up buying all four of those books, and I'll probably be incredibly disappointed. Oh well. Anything for 52...

I'm hoping they can do a good job of explaining Cass Cain's transition.

I don't think they need to explain much more. The issue that she "killed" Shiva was awesome
 
I have deduced that Supernova is the Atom, judged by his shrinking abilities.

Shrinking + LoSH Flight Ring + Light Powers = Ray Palmer, The Atom

Light powers make sense based on the fact that his powers are derived from a white dwarf star.

Also, This week's 5.2 About 52 at Newsarama may or may not back me up:

You have to remind that this is a guy who has acess to a lot of weapons and gadgets from other heroes, I think it is someother else, using the Atom's belt.

If this issue is a preview of things to come in the 52....Bring it on!
HOLY **** THAT WAS AWESOME!



SPOILERS HUGE SPOILERS!!!!

















Ok, so Supernova and Rip are in Kandor, when suddenly Skeets appears and tries to destroy the city, Supernova goes big and reveals to be.........MICHAEL CARTER!
First time in Rip's lab, Booster meets with him, and Rip tells him about Skeets, so Booster was acting dumb until his fake death (his body was replaced in the explosion by Rip Hunter.)
He got back in time and did the Supernova thing, with the gadget of lots of heroes. Booster had to gather an arsenal to use against Skeets...and this is when they reveal their biggest weapon: The Phantom Zone Projector!
They turn it on and start pulling Skeets inside the phantom zone, but something is not right, actually, the whole freacking phantom zone gets pulled INSIDE Skeets!
Rip Hunter teleport Booster and himself away from Skeets (He mention 52, as if it were seconds of a countdown). Skeets, now with the power of the phantom zone goes after them.

Oliver Queen is running for mayor as his friends help him in the devastated Star City, Hal Jordan fix the electric wires as Green Arrow and Black Canary talk about the city and Ralph, he is unstable and they need to find him.

In Space, Lobo makes a funeral for Buddy, Adam Strange said the body could be contaminated and he didn't want to take chances so they leave Buddy in an asteroid (looks like it). Lobo, Adam and Starfire go to "The Seven Golden Planets".
The End.













Oh wait I almost forgot the part where ANIMAL MAN WAKES UP AND SEE THE ALIENS THAT GAVE HIM HIS POWERS!






400/5 - Best issue yet.

Holy ****! Skeets is now a mobile Phantom Zone!

Buddy's alive, and the ****ing aliens are there!

Booster's alive, and he's redeemed!

And the Question is going to be around next issue!

****! GODDAMN! This is so exciting.
 
52 is the best thing DC has done in like ever. Every issue has some unforeseen exciting event happening, and every issue is better than the last. I'm going to miss 52 when it's gone... 52!

Buddy and the aliens... holy ****, just when I was planning a fanfic where the aliens return to tell Buddy "his story is not over". I knew Morrison wouldn't let one of his favourite characters die.
 
The second Skeets absorbed the Phantom Zone, my first thought was: "Zod? Skeets is crazy enough as it is, imagine him with "Kneel Before Zod" in his head.

And yeah, I got the clue.
