Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2006 Although the Lee cover is cool, I am still getting the Perez cover. I figured since I all the ones I have gotten were of his I will not break tradition. The only thing bothering me is the delays. How can Jiminez take so long drawing the series? At least a third of the other drawings are done by other artists!

ZGangsta 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2006 Ok, I've been buying just the Perez covers so far, but DAMN, that Lee Superboy Prime cover is amazing! I think I'll go ahead and get both, even though I'm very against buying multiple copies of the same issue, so I can have teh whole 7-issue run in the Perez covers, but also have that one Lee cover. Just cause that's one of the best covers I've ever seen. I love the 'Death of Superman' cape in the background. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2006 Alex Luthor may be the driving force behind IC, but Superboy Prime is 1000x the villain that Alex Luthor is. He's an (almost) unique take on a villain. "There's nothing so pure and cruel as a child" indeed. I think he'll end up killing Alex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JasonX 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2006 Is any time spent explaining exactly which changes he caused? The Byrne Doom Patrol/Resurrection of Elasti-Girl All of the changes to Donna Troy's origins post Crisis The Gentleman Ghost origin story Geoff Johns wrote in Hawkman a couple of years back that is being personally tossed out of canon by Paul Levitz Jason Todd's death (which according to the little shit Winnick, was never supposed to have happened) and resurrection All of the convoluted shit that's happened to Hawkman/Hawkwoman/Hawkgirl's origins The destruction of the entire Post Zero Hour Legion of the Super-Heroes future/replacement with the new shitty Mark Waid version In IC#5 Luthor was shown in a scene while havng Superboy(Conner) in some sort of tank. I must have missed a scene somewhere, but how did this happen? The last two issues of Robin prior to the One Year Gap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently, he was comatose and in a near-death state (Yeah, I have no clue how that got past BATMAN), crawled out, and was found by Talia Al Ghul, put into a Lazarus Pit, and healed. Jeez guys, that's not at all how it worked. Did anyone actually read that Batman annual? Jason did die. He was blown up by the Joker and died. But aparently that wasn't 'supposed' to happen. He was 'supposed' to live but for some reason, maybe residual "universe-fuckedupidness" due to the collapse of the original multiverse (or the fact that readers actually 'intervened' and had the guy offed by calling that 1-900 number), he ended up dead. So he stayed dead for a year until Superboy-Prime started breaking the walls of the universe, which sent "time ripples" out and corrected a number of things, such as his death. Jason then came back to life and dug his way out of his grave, walked a few miles and eventually ended up in a coma in a hospital. Since there's no record of him existing (cause Batman's a sneaky fucker), no one ever found him. A few years later he woke up with no memories and hung out on the streets for a while until Talia found him, dumped him in a Lazarus Pit (where he got his memories and skillz back), and sent him on his merry way to fuck with Batman. So to recap: -Jason dies -S.P. hits universe -Jason comes back to life -Spends time in coma/without memory -Takes Lazarus bath So there's no retcon there. It's not like the past was changed and Batman found him alive or anything, things were just 'set right' and he was brought back to life, albiet under 6 feet of dirt. So everyone (including Jason) still remembers his death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, and Infinite Crisis #6 was awesome. More thoughts later. Ah hell. You do this, and now look what happens to my avatar. You bastard. Genius. So back to IC#6, I read it again and I reiterate my previous diagnosis of awesomeness. Ok SPOILERZZZ abound below: Batman's new characterization is great, acting like a leader and all, writers no longer need to try and one-up each other to see who can make him a bigger dick. Except Frank Miller in ASB, but that's like on a whole other plane. The breaking point/epiphany for Batman seemed to be his big freak out and breakdown in the batcave in issue 3 right before Superman-2 showed up. That symbolic moment where Hal Jordan busts through the satellite and Batman takes his hand to fly to safety was great. The scenes from the various different Earths were cool too and had some nice 'insider' references. The coolest part (maybe in the whole issue) was where Alex is looking around for Earth-Prime when he finnaly spots it and reaches out of the page at the reader. Complaint: DC didn't ship this issue with 3d glasses for that one panel. That would be super sweet. Black Adam is incrediably badass. Poor Psycho Pirate. Superboy Prime is also badass. Superboy's death was handled really well I thought, and the last page was pretty striking. Also, did anyone notice that in the preview cover that was out on the internet, it had Superman's torn up cape in the background, but on the real cover it was Superboy's shirt? So all in all, another excellent read I thought if a bit light on some details (So what happened in the speed force? And what's the deal with the remaining Earth?), but I'm sure they'll be answered later. Newsarama has been doing a hillarious recap of each issue so far that I recomend you check out.

Which I theorize will sap every ounce of solar energy in his body thus rendering him powerless. Damn, I never thought about that. Considering Superboy Prime had very little solar energy with him when he first broke through, Superman could beat him if he really exhausts himself. Damn it, DC. Why are you making this so damn good?

Kurt Angle Mark 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2006 Geoff Johns from his message board Guys, Couldn't be happier with the reactions. Tough issue to write - especially for my favorite Titan - but there will be retribution! I can't wait for you to see the heroes strike back. #7 is looking amazing. There's a spread in there that I think will make people stand up and cheer. Phil is pulling out all the stops on this with George at his side. And wait until you see the covers. Probaby be released in a few weeks... Thanks so much for jumping on board this ride and for your patience. I hope you all are blown away by #7. Geoff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZGangsta 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2006 So I read some rumours a little while back that DC will actually be doing a little bit of retconning after this crisis, and that the catalyst would be the temporary multiverse collapsing back into Earth-1. Looking at IC#6 again, I noticed that on the page after Superboy kamakazies the tower and it shows the one earth reapearing that in the 'shards' flying out into the page it shows a few scenes that might provide insight into these retconns. One scene is a newspaper with the names 'Joe Chill' and 'Wayne family' on it, so I guess he's back in the game (negating Zero Hour's effect there). Another is that cover with the JLA turning into trees exept this time it's got Wonder Woman back in the scene (she was replaced with Black Canary post-crisis in that situation), so they might be bringing back Wonder Woman as one of the JLA founders. It's also got a picture of silver age Superboy in front of a Smallville sign, and also one of what looks like the old school Kryptonian villians. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
