The scan image not working. :)

[superfangirl1]

See it now. :)

Bow down to the great darkseid head~!

[jlroberson]

I like, a lot.

I also found Levitz back on LEGION a pretty damn solid little comic, by the way. It just needs a slightly more daring art style.

[iskander]

seconded:(

[crinos]

With Bills mounting up and his alimony due, Darkseid has no choice but to take a part time job playing Olmec, the talking stone head from Legends of the hidden temple.

[jelly_ace]

Now you're just making me feel old.

[jlroberson]

I can make you feel older.

[ninjapeps]

THE GUN IS GOOD. THE PENIS IS EVIL.

[jlroberson]

Combine that with the Anti-Life Equation and you got yourself the first Eros/DC crossover event.

[jelly_ace]

Hah! I'm not that old.

[jlroberson]

Sigh. I am. Just.

[lieut_kettch]

Some get Vartox quick! He'll take care of that giant stone head. And hit on Imra while he's doing it.

[curlyjo1]

And steal Rokk's old costume?

[thanekos]

holy shit, darkseid's a giant thumb in the future

[pyrotwilight]

I give this comment two Darkseid's up!

[darkknightjrk]

...Y'know, now that you mention it, the head-dress does kinda make him look like a massive thumb. Heh. So much for the God of Evil, then.

[okkult3000]

Because coming up with original ideas is hard.

[thokstar]

It's just a cover theme: they're doing classic covers variants to honor DC's 75 anniversary. Magnolia did a cool Red Hood cover for Batman as well.

[jlroberson]

I'm sorry, but I'm a sucker for this.

[thatnickguy]

Could be worse, I suppose. They could retell the whole event, only with modern storytelling and lighter for kids...

...like the Infinity Gauntlet.

Oh...wait.

[intertobamf]

Making snide comments about context-less images isn't, apparently.

[okkult3000]

Nope. That's why I don't get paid for it.

Dirk Morgna IS... PIANO LAD!!

[auggie18]

Sing us a song, Piano Lad,
Sing us a song tonight,
Darkseid brings death and destruction now,
But music will make it alright.

[cleome45]

[grin]

[jelly_ace]

Heh. Butts.

[darkblade]

This just in. The new Anti-Life equation has been revealed.

"The Gun is good. The Penis is evil."

[perletwo]

For comparison purposes, have a gander at the original cover here.

Note that Element Lad is wearing his old green/blue costume in both covers, and Bouncing Boy is in both even though he's not currently active (LOSH #1 shows him and Luornu at the Legion Academy, where they're presumably teaching). No Dream Girl in this cover, though she played a major part in the original story.

[jelly_ace]

I like that one better. It's...cracky-er.

[geoffsebesta]

"Nobody gets in to see the wizard. Not nobody, not no how."

[arilou_skiff]

You know, I know Thanos is an homage to Darkseid and all that, but this still reminds me mostly of the THanos IMperative cover image they keep showing. With Thanos face over a glowing planet thingie.

[tacobob]

"It's only a model!"

[ninjapeps]

shh!

[halloweenjack]

Darkness 2: Apokolips Boogaloo!

[lieut_kettch]

Is Sodam Yat still recruiting GL's in the 31st century? Because I see quite a few candidates that meet the criteria.

I gotta say I'm digging Tinya's wazoo.

[cleome45]

I'm gonna start a new board called Tights Don't Work Like That. :p

[comicoz]

Some amazingly well-formed rear ends there.

[pallas_athena]

The original is being released in a deluxe edition this November. OH YES.
