Four pages from Free Comic Book Day's New 52 book

[superboyprime]

A Monitor Machine that looks into other universes. :) As much as I love stuff like the Young Justice cartoon that take a more grounded "realistic" approach, my heart will always belong to the superhero stories that have room for this kind of insanity.



I spot nuDC Etrigan's armor, a Red Lantern battery (!), and the Haunted Tank. Anyone recognize anything else?

" God speed. "

Jay's origin as shaggy dog story, huh?

And my, that's a hell of a bell.

[lascoden]

I'm not sure what you mean. But he does literally have a god's speed, Mercury.

[q99]

A shaggy dog story is when you make a whole long character origin with Mercury and all just so you can make that 'God's Speed' joke :)

"Anyone recognize anything else?"

Psycho Pirate's mask is on the far-right, near the middle of the panel.

The Green Bell of Uthool, from the Bell, the Book and the Jar.

[dr_archeville]

At the dragon's jaw appears to be the Coronation Chair of Westminster Abbey, with the Stone of Scone.

The chandelier looks like it's from the Sedlec Ossuary, in the Czech Republic.

Could that bell (I'm assuming it's a bell, what with the DO NOT RING sign) be the Green Bell of Uthool (created by Rath of The Demons Three)?

Could that multifaceted thing under the tarp be Eclipso's Black Diamond/the Heart of Darkness?

I'm curious what the significance of MDCCLXXV (1775) would be. It's when the American Revolution began -- maybe Uncle Sam's locked behind it?

OOOH that would be interesting...

Ha is riffing off the symbolism of the Great Seal of the United States, which appears on the back of the US $1 bill, although the date on the base of the pyramid is 1776, the date of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the official year of the founding of the U.S. Assuming it's not just the typo, it could be some Illuminati thing, or a reference to the National Treasure movies (which I haven't seen)--the symbols seem to be used as a literal seal on whatever's behind those doors.

[ravenous_raven]

You mean the Stone of DESTINY!? (Sorry, I learned about the Stone while on a walking tour of Edinburgh. The tour guide always referred to it that way, big ol' booming voice and all. That's the only way I know how to say/type it. ;))

[nezchan]

I assume those are terra cotta warriors below the dragon.

Something about that painting in the foreground tickles my memory, but I can't place it.

[shadowpsykie]

it LOOKS like a Madonna and Child... which one i am not sure

[icon_uk]

There's a giant Roman coin, did the Roman-era Batman have one of those I wonder.

[skjam]

I think the crate directly below Pandora's box is supposed to be the one holding the Ark of the Covenant.

[agharta75]

Good call!

Cool beans. I wanted to pick this up but they were all gone when I got there.

[captainbellman]

That's definitely poor old Coatlicue on the far left there. First she gets her head and arms chopped off, then her statue is excavated and re-buried, now this...can't the dear woman be left in peace?

[kd_the_movie]

is that the fucking haunted tank?!

[espanolbot]

Hm, on the far right there appears to be one of the masks of Psycho Pirate, while on the left below the throne there appears to be the Spear of Destiny.

[kraesil]

Bell= The one in the first book of Narnia?

Chandelier= Bone church in Czech Republic.

Terra Cotta soldiers, Medusa Mask, Westminster Church throne.

Pandora mentions a black diamond...

[sherkahn]

The Black Diamonf of Eclipso is under the cloth. It's huge.

[generator_rex]

I think the Boat above the Tank might be the Viking Prince's long boat.

[sherkahn]

I was thinking the same.

[biod]

Busby's chair?

[palabradot]

This is why I come here - the only thing I recognized was the tank. :)

[ravenous_raven]

I didn't get any of them if that makes you feel better. :)

Joining the club

[eaglet_auditore]

It makes -me- feel better. :) *Looks at everything everyone else mentionned* Lulwut?

[big_daddy_d]

The Monitor Machine! *smacks own head* Hello Megan! It didn't even hit me when I read it.
