New Comic Wednesday: Spoiler Alert! Literally... Beware!

Stephanie Brown is back as Spoiler! That's super exciting. She is one of my favorite Batgirls, though i don't really dislike any of the Batgirls. However, I want some Cassandra Cain! She is my favorite batgirl! [edit from 9/20/14 finally got to read Batgirl: Futures End, loved it, but Barbara got so freakishly strong and big for her size... Weird. Anyway, I don't like Cassandra Cains costume in that comic, but glad to see she still exist in the comics. Also, love that I have to remember another Robins name... Cause I have to and want to in Batman and Robin: futures end]. Not much to say about the latest Batman Eternal. I was about to stop following it, but then they released Stephanie Brown as Spoiler again. Though, I love this new look to spoiler. The only real difference is that you can see Stephanie Brown's face instead of it being fully covered, but it's still so much better than the old costume in my opinion. 

Not going to touch much on Futures end, but there's a life/relationship lesson in that issue for you guys! Don't lie to your girlfriend forever and expect them to still love you. Geez, Tim. I guess Supergirl and Raven didn't teach you anything. 

This week, another Multiversity book comes out! This time it is Society of Superheroes with another universes Doctor Fate! Sorry, I just think Doctor Fate is kinda cool. Also featuring, devil-like green lantern and a teenage boy that wears a mask that looks like Dr. Manhattan. Though, he isn't exactly a devil, he is an alien.  Nothing much has changed from the first multiversity book, comics are still evil and cursed! 

Every universe seems to be crumbling one after the other. So, in this comic, Doctor fate decides to create the S.O.S. (For you otakus, not to be confused with the SOS brigade.) otherwise known as the Society of Superheroes! Since he doesn't think he can stop his world from crumbling, he hopes he can at least warn other worlds. Hopefully, they can find Nix Uotan wherever he may be. 

I found this comic easier to read than Multiveristy, it just seemed more interesting in my opinion, even though Multiversity #1 got a lot of ads from DC leading up to the release. Also, I love this version of Doctor Fate. He doesn't need magic to beat the bad guys! 

If you get Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse, you get a code to unlock Atomic Wonder Woman! I might play the game now... Atomic Wonder Woman looks badass. But once again, a cover has fooled me into thinking their would be something in the issue, when there isn't... On the cover it has a cool looking Poison Ivy. But she wasn't in the comic. Unless i missed something. 

Of all the comics I have been reading, I still find Injustice and Futures End to be both exciting and easy to read. Something exciting always happens, so i can't help but buy those books. I have been reading some Futures End titles, and I don't know what the point is with some of them. I like Jason Todd, but the Futures end books barely fit in to the actual Futures End title. We'll at least Next week they're going to have Superman Futures End. Maybe we will find out why Superman doesn't want to fight crime anymore! Until next week! 

Now....

...I'll just put this here... 

New Comic Wednesday: What on Earth is happening to the multiverse?

It's filled with a bunch of characters we are still unsure of, they aren't the familiar Batman and Superman of the earth we've grown accustomed to in this revamped universe. Though, I wonder about Multiversity #1. How the thoughts on writing it progressed. They advertise it like it's evil and cursed! Is this the ring in comic book form? 

I'm so confused I don't know if I could keep reading. I just know that this could really be the end if the DC universe! Plus I wonder if this book connected to Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse. Everything is moving at different paces that I'm confused with what direction DC has with all these books about the end of the world.

Though, with the introduction of Nix Uotan in Infinite Crisis, I assume they are related and will eventually be on the same pace. I should have ready Infinite Crisis #2 first.... 

Though, I do love the different characters in the comic. A whole universe of Black superheroes. Then there are characters that look like marvel characters. Is this DC's attack? After all there is a character with a symbol that looks like deadpools, but the character is nothing like deadpool. Then, there is the character that looks a lot like Doctor Doom. But my favorite has to be the mini-Wonder woman and Aquawoman (not to be confused with Mera), a gender bender version of Aquaman. Blonde hair and orange-scale suit is included. 

Other than that, everything else just makes me super confused. Like, should rabbits break the concept of science itself with his cartoony self? Also, will we follow the voice in the comic and be so weirded out that we would stop reading? I kinda just want to know who the voice is! 

A comic I feel more comfortable reading is the Infinite Crisis comic, only because the characters are familiar. Just because the characters are familiar the story is easier to read in a way. Though, the two stories will eventually connect I believe. 

My wish is slowly coming true. Zatanna, Flash, and Cyborg are trying to look for Batman. Zatanna finds batman, but Hogwarts didn't teach her how to find the batman of their universe (yay for multiple Batmans... Now give me multiple Nightwings)! Flash's joke was better... I know. 

I have to settle for a crazy looking robin for now. And batman that is... Batman and not just any batman, he's the Batman. I guess Bruce doesn't get this multiverse stuff yet. After all... THERE COULD ONLY BE ONE! The batman that appears briefly trying to eat Zatanna and the gang looks pretty cool though! He reminds me of earlier issues of Batman and Detective comics, when he had longer ears and looked like a vampire. 

Will our portion of the Justice League meet Batman's new team assembled to save the multiple universes? Or will they be stuck between the universes and the "bleed"? When will there be more Batmans? I still call for an army of Batmans (and Nightwings)! 

Later today or tomorrow I will say a few things  about the last installment of Deadpool: Dracula's gauntlet and Batman and Robin (Robin Rises part two). 

Flashback Friday: Infinite Crisis...again? 52 style.

I've decided to add flash back Friday to my (somewhat) weekly lineup. Most of the "Flashbacks" I will have will have to do with something happening currently.

If the comixology app was how it was before I probably would have found out sooner that the Infinite Crisis coming out next week is currently online at the DC comics site. It is running exactly how they ran injustice, the other comic that became a game, where they have three parts that become one hard copy issue. Each part comes out weekly while you have to wait for the hard copy to come out every month. Also, you are still behind a few issues compared to the online issues. Now, Injustice was phenomenal in a way that I could not wait for the next issue to come out. I did follow that weekly compared to just getting it in a hard copy. However, I still bought some hard copies. Like the issue of the death of my beloved. 

I did download the first part of issue one last night. And I guess no matter what you can't get rid of the number 52. New 52, 52 worlds, 52 issues in the last Infinite Crisis story, 52 stories out at a time in the DC universe, 52 pick up! The number 52 is everywhere. It's like those conspiracy movies where everything has the number 8 in it or something like that! Except this is all intentional. I still love how corny that is though. 

They mention the previous Infinite Crisis, saying that they had to end it with a terrible price. In one way, I get why they would mention that, but at the same time I don't. From what I have said from previously in another post, the new 52 doesn't make any sense because they kept some facts before the new 52 happened and some facts just don't exist and are created new because it is supposed to be a "reboot." I don't think there was a real need to mention the previous Infinite Crisis. Unless most of DC just doesn't care at this point because Infinite Crisis marks the end of the new 52 and possibly Futures End. However, I haven't looked that part up yet. Whether it is true or not, be prepared for ANOTHER reboot. But you can forgive them because Marvel already had a re-reboot with some of their issues like Wolverine and X-force. No one wants to make it to that 100th issue point anymore. 

Also, the story starts off with the character Harbringer. She is going to the different Earths to find heroes, at least that's what it seems like. Every earth just seems to be in chaos and everyone is fighting. So, while she tries to escape from people trying to kill her, she just teleports somewhere else. And who is the first recruit we see? Some shadowy figure with claws! 

I don't think it matters who she gets from each universe. All anyone wants is just an army of Batman. Let's be real here. 

When I tell my customers about this new Infinite Crisis coming out. I love how some people are like, "Really, again?" Though, people didn't have that reaction when Marvel had Original Sin came out. Only because this Original Sin is a bigger event than the previous Original Sin. The first was just a story of Wolverine, Xavier, and Daken. Then we have this Original Sin affecting the entire Marvel Universe. People shouldn't really judge DC. Even if the story will probably be around the same lines as the other Crisis'. 

Lastly, I believe most of the popular comic books have to start all over again at some point. In our lives both Batman and Superman are 75 years old and some other comic book characters older. If we just continued from the point of their creation and on to now, they would be Batman Beyond status. Unless both never age, and batman's sidekicks are the only people actually aging. 

That's it for the somewhat Flashback!
