The time Grodd and Iris Allen had a kid together

[superboyprime]

In two months, we're going to enter the ugly era of the DCnU, but there's at least a last gasp of quality before that. This month and the next, DC's putting out their "Retro-Active" project, a bunch of one-shots that celebrate their comics of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, a.k.a. before Dan Dildo and his merry band of inbred morons came in, a.k.a. before they ruined everything, a.k.a. when DC Comics actually had integrity. The oneshots are done by actual creators from those eras and designed to read like untold stories from those periods.

Not sure it's a good idea for the Powers that Be to remind fans of DC's better days and remind everyone of what a mess they've made since coming to power, but hey, nobody ever accused them of competency.



Here's four pages from Retro-Active: The Flash - The 70s. It's written by Cary Bates, who to this day still has the longest run on the character (1972-1985).

Saint Young Men - Two against the World

[chocochuy]

Greetings, People from Planet Houston!

Today I am proud to give you more goodies from Japan as a way to ease the pain that DC Comics left us recently. The Manga that we will be seeing today is called "Saint Young Men" and it narrates the misadventures of Jesus Christ and Buddha living in an apartment on Modern Japan. I can assure it's some healthy comedy and it's pretty cool to see 2 Religious Figures living in complete harmony (Shouldn't we all?). Enjoy!

DC at SDCC: A Lesson in Good Business Strategy (Part 2, Friday)

[turtlefu]

I am back! This day had probably one of the worst moments at the con, but it did have some good news. Also, we had one panel where DC DIDN'T brag about diversity! Too bad it was the Green Lantern Panel. But first, legality!

New villains? Mish-mash?

[sherkahn]

Ok, smoke 'em if you got em. Because the House of Ideas seems to have run out of them and have definitely been hitting that with something that is sparkling and crackles when you light it up.

CosmicBookNews has teaser images of ....villians(?) .... that will affect someone in mainstream Marvel 616.

New webcomic, if anyone's interested

[ammonen]

I've finally posted the first pages of my webcomic! It's been my project for the summer, so I'm totally excited!

My premise is this: real-life heroes. Think of capes as a part-time job or even better, as moonlighting.

Yeah, I know, it's ALREADY been done before. And way better than I can do. But if you'll bear with me, I'm going to argue that I'm bringing something different to the table.

( differences as follows )

The ORIGINAL "Mean Green Mother from Outer Space" - The Emerald Empress

[icon_uk]

One of my favourite characters used to be accompanied by a flying 2 foot diameter eyeball.

Riiiiiiip!



Oh look, we have a guest!

"Who am I talking about?" you ask, well, gather round sd'ers and I shall elucidate...

( Eye shall try to avoid any eye puns... Oops )

Power Girl vs Power Girl

[aeka]

Continued from the JSA Annual I posted a while back, only with more clusterfuckery abound.

( Can't say I enjoyed the story as much as I would have liked...or maybe I just don't like Power Girl 2.0 )

John Stewart: Soldier, Architect, GL, planet killer, economist, preventer of war, role model

[detective_deathman08]

It is july 27 here and that means GL corps#61 is no longer recent, I wanted to post this for awhile. This is a good one showing John Stewart dealing with the fallout of the "War of the green lanterns". With his reputation with the other GLs in tatters over being forced to kill Mogo,he still shows why he is one of the best green lanterns. Get ready for some inspirational character moments from my favorite GL.

Hal was not the only Earth GL who got shafted during War of the GLs.
