...Still less horrifying than Black Lantern Terry Long was.

[ladytimedramon.insanejournal.com]

Black Lantern Terry Long?

Has he appeared, or are we just waiting for him to show himself?

[long_silence.insanejournal.com]

Zombie Flying Graysons?

[sailorlibra.insanejournal.com]

Artists who sexualize their drawings of female zombies really squick me out.

[runespoor7.insanejournal.com]

Motto.

[sailorlibra.insanejournal.com]

Also, your link to the other solicitations is broken.

[demonprawn.insanejournal.com]

Bzzd?? :(

[nagaoka.insanejournal.com]

My heart broke when I saw Bzzd. It really did.

[kagome654.insanejournal.com]

Yay, Katma Tui! Sure, she'll be a zombie but...yay, Katma Tui!

Poor John, guy rarely catches a break.

[thokstar.insanejournal.com]

Somebody want to play guess the former Green Lanterns? I recognize B'zzd, Jack T. Chance, and Katma Tui.

[kagome654.insanejournal.com]

I see Galius Zed and Ke'Haan. No Ch'p though...(sad now)

[milleniumrex.insanejournal.com]

...Wow, that Titans mini is going to be the black spot on this entire event. Everything else looks awesome, but from the weak creative team to the repulsive cover, the Titans mini looks awful.

[fashi0n_mistake.insanejournal.com]

*is staring at the Beast Boy/Terra cover with a look on her face that can only be described as 0_o*

[dustbunny105.insanejournal.com]

I love how well-kept zombie!Terra's hair is.

[batcookies.insanejournal.com]

I know of some hairsprays that I suspect really would keep your hair like that years after death.

[crinosg.insanejournal.com]

Hmm....Undead Green Lanterns.

Oh yeah, its Nekron. He's the only one who makes sense for this thing. It better be Nekron, it if isn't Nekron, I'll eat my wallet.

[nymphgalatea.insanejournal.com]

If it's not Nekron I'll eat my entire comics collection. Including the hardback edition of Kingdom Come which weighs about 10 pounds.

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

Ok, which Star Staphire was that

and which Terra was that ?

[trueredorion.insanejournal.com]

Carol Ferris and presumably the original Terra.

[bjorkubus.insanejournal.com]

Created an account just to post. (Lurking via LJ)

Zombie TerraxBeast Boy?

.. well, as long as it keeps putting off BBRae! *thumbs up*

[janegray.insanejournal.com]

I'm glad you did, because I love your icon :D

[neuhallidae.insanejournal.com]

::keyboardpound:: Augh, God, that Titans cover hits all kinds of squick.

[tragical_mirth.insanejournal.com]

*Original!Terra SQUEE*

Wow, I'm old.

wow...that titans cover...

[pepperspray101.insanejournal.com]

...has got to be the worse thing I've ever seen.

D: That is so f***in nasty. They're slobering all over eachother? *gags* Wow, DC, real classy work there. UGH.

Re: wow...that titans cover...

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

I'm not sure she's slobbering so much as... liquefying! o_O

[queen_marshed.insanejournal.com]

Yeah. Let's just ignore the Titains mini... -_-;

Others look pretty cool though.

[oath5.insanejournal.com]

Um, is that the original evil mcbuck tooth Terra or the good Terra that looked just like her?

[scorpiokyle.insanejournal.com]

most likely the original, since beastboy was all obsessed over her

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

Does no one remember the FYL Legion arc where Mordru revives dead heroes to fight the Legion, and we see the likes of Zombie Terra and Zombie Jason Todd Robin? Must dig that out for comparison with this...

And agreed, nothing can make that Titans cover less than barf worthy, but to be fair, that's the point. I'm not barfing AT it, I'm barfing WITH it... so to speak.

[greenmask.insanejournal.com]

That second cover is pretty great. And the colouring on the third also!

[sistermagpie.insanejournal.com]

Looking at the rest of the solicits, it seems like they're mostly dead heroes returning? So how come the Flying Graysons would come back? Or are other people getting dead parents too?

I remember somebody making a joke about Mary Grayson: Black Lantern months ago. Totally called it!

[xlineartx.insanejournal.com]

All terrifying squick aside, I'm sick of everyone ignoring how badass Katma Tui was. She was badass, dudes and ladies! She was pretty much just as famous as Hal was among the non-Earth Lanterns. And as much as I love John, Katma was a Lantern way longer than he was. DCAU Katma trained Kyle, for God's sake. Let's give her some respect, here.

[nymphgalatea.insanejournal.com]

Doug Mahnke is a god, oh yes. That top cover is gorgeous.

GL Corps is immense too, I love how fucked up Bzzd and Ch'p look.

Not touching Titans with a ten foot pole.

[halloweenjack.insanejournal.com]

Well, DC: I didn't need a lot of encouragement to stay away from this series, but thanks for helping me stay strong, anyway.

[jlroberson.insanejournal.com]

Again, I only have one thing to say.


That Terra. First she's an object for pedophilia, now necrophilia. DC certainly has fun with that girl. No wonder her brother's so whiny.
