Wonder Woman in Blackest Night: one panel summary

[thebigapricot]

Comics Alliance has put up what I think is a pretty accurate (and funny) 60 second overview of Blackest Night. My favorite is Wonder Woman.


And for legality, Wonder Woman and her "crush" in the Hiketeia

The final ish of CFJ is supposed to take place post-Blackest Night, AFAIK, which means Lian missed the deadline and is among the first of the "dead is dead" era.

Besides, it's edgier that way.

I think Star City's destruction and Lian's death is pre-Blackest Night, but Prometheus' death is post-Blackest Night. Basically only the last few pages of the last issue of Cry For Justice are post-Blackest Night.

The best way to make Hal's line not seem totally Narmtastic is to read it as "Nekron showed a few select people the way so he could use their super powers for his own, and those few effectively accepted their offer (except Dove), but once they did it once they could do it again on their own with a little Hal Jordan guidance."

Then the issue becomes "Nekorn didn't think your grandfather would make a good weapon, Timmy" as opposed to "He didn't try hard enough."

No, see, I figured that was Geoff trying to backpedal on Nekron's own claim of allowing heroes to come back to life.

Since that has some rather unfortunate implications regarding a whole bunch of DC's main properties, all that line was about was acknowledging that all those people died in situations that had nothing to do with Nekron. Clark was revived by the Kryptonian tech in the fortress, Diana chose to return from Olympus, etc etc etc. All things that had nothing to do with Nekron, Nekron was just trying to sound more influential than he actually was. "I allowed this to happen!" when no, he actually didn't.

But the way Hal phrased that line -- "We all chose to come back to life!" -- was a little bit silly. But I understood the intent.

As for Lian -- off-camera resurrection. I'm just gonna keep saying that until DC takes it onboard.
