Written by carry bates and art by curt swan and Bob Oksner.

This is during the period where Clark Kent was a news anchor. Context the weatherman Oscar Asherman is making strange violent weather predictions that keep coming true. It is up to superman to find the maning behind his dastardly forecast.... now a trip to the 777777777777777000000000000000s

I wonder if they kept the costumes, superman could pass for flash pretty easily.

Newsarama has just put up a preview of a few DC Retroactive issues. The Flash one caught my eye since it features a flashback to my favorite Flash villain and story arc.

Information from the San Diego Comic Con and some thoughts about the Green Lantern movie gave me an epiphany about Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man.

We want Peter Parker to be Barry Allen, not Hal Jordan.

Well, Mother's Day was last time...

Oh, and icons can, as always, be found here

So I was reading a collection the other. Can't remember which but there was one story I'd like to find. It was a green lantern story with the 4 earth boys meeting for a campfire thing. Guy was toasting marshmellows and Kyle was late because he ran into a bad guy. Anyone know?

It's been a rough weekend, and so in order to brings some chuckles, raise some eyebrows and make some people hot under the collar, some covers to comics of yesteryear that appear to be not-so-innocent, courtesy of Maxim magazine.

( Now that is just wrong. )

Barry Allen, the Flash, is widely held to have had the best ever death for a comic character. He died saving the universe in Crisis on Infinite Earths and afterward became a legendary figure in the DC Universe. His death was revisited a number of times by DC writers over the years before he was finally brought back to life.

I'd like to share a couple of these stories, showing Barry's last moments from his point of view.

The best Elseworlds stories utilize the alternate reality format to gain fresh perspective on the characters and themes they represent. I've always loved the mantra which used to accompany the earliest books in this imprint:

"In Elseworlds, heroes are taken from their usual settings and put into strange times and places--some that have existed, and others that can't, couldn't, or shouldn't exist. The result is stories that make characters who are as familiar as yesterday seem as fresh as tomorrow."

I've always loved that last line. "As familiar as yesterday seem as fresh as tomorrow." So why are there so many mediocre Elseworlds stories? Why do so many follow the formula of "plug in X character in Y time setting, tell basically the same origin"? Asking "What If?" doesn't really matter if that question isn't followed by, "So What?"

That is not the case with Alan Brennert's last (and only) major DC story, Batman: Holy Terror, the first alternate universe DC story to carry the Elseworlds brand. It's that rare Elseworlds (hell, that rare story) which actually has something to say about its lead character and the alternate reality he inhabits.

In this instance, it's Batman in a Puritanical theocracy.

( Gotham Towne, twenty years ago... )

Damn it, I want a sequel.

It's "Mr Bat Mom" Part 2! Part 1 can be read here

Be warned, it's VERY image heavy! But does include ninjas!
( And even better than that.... minimal narration from me )

As someone else noted, DC: The New Frontier is full of perfect moments. The Silver Age Flash gets a couple of them. Now, normally the one that comes to mind is his initial appearance where he goes up against Captain Cold, but while that's pretty awesome too, here's another one that, frankly, I like better.
