Don't mind me, just posting the most BASED comic book Super-Team.
>>151094294Oh you're making a Legion of Superheroes thread?
>>151094294DC bought these guys and turned them into villains for their own heroes to beat up.
Planetary is better
>>151094519They were villains in their own book when they were under Wildstorm.
>>151094294>basedThis word will never be stripped of its right-wing flavor no matter how much you rape it by misusing it intentionally to describe pozzed shit. Fucking kill yourself.
>>151094294Based on what?
>>151096054A JLA pastiche full of Marvel expies.
>>151096039Midnighter may be gay but he is extremely racist
>>151094294>>most BASED comic book Super-Team>The Authority pardons mass murderers, rapists, and people who have massacred babies if it suits them.I don't think so.
>>151096425How do you guys feel about Waid retcon in the latest issue of the new DC history book?
>>151097288I wouldn't trust Waid to touch any hero who kills since he whines so much about it
>>151097288What did he do
>>151097389
>>151094519>turned them into villainstheir entire idea is that they are an authority. theyre gopnna look after earth and kill anyone who doesnt listen to them. midnighter would deploy into warzones and just kill both sides
>>151098278god this was fucking tragic, im sure they brought jack back though didnt they?
>>151098310Which one?
>>151094519They weren't turned into villains
>>151098414They were turned into jobbers
>>151098386i was confused. im thinking of the reboot with lesbian shaved head DR and black midnigher
>>151098623I am glad that reboot is dead.
bump
>>151094519The problem was that the Wildstorm characters were ill fit for the main DCU. The Authority exists to put superhumans who think they can do as they please in order and to keep the population on s leash. With them Black Adam and the whole middle east conflict would be solved with extreme violence.
>>151098278So everything Wildstorm related during new 52 is no longer canon?
>>151098278Maybe this is why Gunn shelved the Authority movie he announced some time ago?
>>151098278This bumbling retard not only did this stupid retcon but didn't even think to add his own creation, Magog to The Authority even though he'd fit in great
I wish they have kept Ellis’ Apollo’s personality. The dumb blond personality and Superman stand in personality are so uninspired.
The REAL tragedy of The Authority is that Midnighter gets to be cool but Apollo doesn't. Of course the Batman stand-in gets to be as cool as the real thing, even if he's gay. But the Superman stand-in has to be lame and a loser. Feels like a double standard.
>>151102325How do you even make Apollo "cool" though? Batman expies can kick and punch and do backflips while dressed in black. Superman expies just can't do that stuff.
>>151100608We can only hope.
>>151094294stormwatch prime >
>>151102325Midnighter isn't a Batman stand-in, he's a blatant Wolverine stand-in; he just cribs some of Batman's aesthetic. I'd say the real issue with Apollo is that, given Midnighter's personality, you'd have to be one hell of a doormat to constantly put up with his bullshit.
>>151102325Apollo is the Ray stand-in
>>151094294Their fans are still malding about a mediocre strawman depiction of them in the 90s, so I don't know if they're that "based"
>>151104277Sadly, I have to agree.
>>151098600Jobbers would be too good. Least then Apollo would still do his thing and the others implied bad asses off screen.Instead they were whipped dogs then given a tranny operation and dildo up ass 24/7 to be trotted out whenever a writer needs not superman/batman or a mouth piece.
>>151096039>NOOOO THAT'S OUR WOOOORD YOU CAN'T USE IT!Cry more about it tranny schizo
>>151102325>>151103816Apollo being a doormat has always been a thing. In the orginial books to balance him out he had worse energy storage than a knock off duracell battery. This results in having nothing of note to off set his dull personality and just Midnighter's fuck stick who can move things. It was to point getting raped by evil not captain america didn't even seem out of the ordinary. I liked the books but why they kept him on a lease when when the team had 2 reality benders and a machine god as regular members is beyond me. Even Swift felt more useful and colorful.
>>151096425That's a really offensive take on Jack Kirby
I wish they had gone more into Apollo and Midnighter's pre Authority time.Apollo possibly fucking the MMH expy and Midnighter getting jealous was funny.
It's a shame that Captain Atom has such an extensive rogues gallery, but whenever they put him in a comic he only ever gets to fight Major Force for the millionth time.
>>151094519Yeah weren't they killed off by captain atom? Lmao
>>151094519DC disrespects every character they absorb.
Was there anything that could be done with the WS characters after the world literally ended? A reboot?
>>151105934You already got a reboot with Ellis in charge and it was nothing like the original.
>>151102325>>151103816>>151105165You all complaining about Apollo but Majestic is the one character that got fucked the most after the new 52 happened and then there is Gen 13 (as a whole) in second place.
>>151094294The Authority would enact total Chud death for shits n giggles
>>151106010I don't think the Authority would go full lib and even less full woke if the team still existed in current times. Sure, they wouldn't mess with the lgtv+ movement but they wouldn't go "Free Palestine" either.
>>151094519It’s more like Jim Lee gave DC his used stuff and let them do as they pleased when he. Over in because he didn’t want these d-listers anymore when he could be drawing Batman
>>151106117Ironic considering how slow Lee is when doing interiors
>>151105165Apollo isn't a character, he's not even a plot device. You could write him out of every story and not really have to change much.
>>151102325>>151105165While I like the longer hair I feel like his hair becoming longer in Authority compared to his appearance in Stormwatch caused later writers to think of him as the woman as the relationship and write him like shit.His Ellis personality was a lot milder than Midnighter's bombastic personality, but he still had one. He was oddly detached and unemotional when his friends weren't involved and honestly wasn’t very open/nice to people who weren’t his friends/family. He also cared a lot less about being "made" by Bendix in comparison to Midnighter who cared a lot about that. Also writers forgot that Midnighter was emotional in general, not just angry. He cried in front of everybody when told Bendix was dead (until he wasn't).
>>151106203Lee is in demand enough to make them wait when he does do interiors.
You now remember Human on the Inside.
>>151105386Apollo being Middy's first would be a really fucking funny way to explain why he's so extra when he comes to him whereas Apollo is more normal when he comes to Middy.
>>151106576Apollo was more stoic
>>151106900Only around strangers, when he was with his friends he was more open and in the flashback showing the rest of JL expy time he vomits when one of their teammates is killed.
>>151103816Midnighter is literally a Batman expy. Part of his backstory is he and Apollo are the surviving members of a Justice League expy team created by Bendix.>>151105386>3 gay guys>the WW stand in was a lesbianWhy did Bendix create a team of gay people?
>>151102910Apollo could be bashing in heads and take names but nooooooo, it has to always be Midnighter who does it
>>151107037So they could not reproduce
>>151105165The two reality benders were also kept on a leash for the most part.One was a junkie who usually didn't do shit until the end of the story and the other was a child until the last couple years of the universe.
>>151102910The only real Supes expies were The High and Mr. Majestic.
>>151107037IIRC Team Achilles did or was going to do a story wherein it's revealed Bendix designed Midnighter and Apollo as a child. Which would fit considering they had matching costumes and names compared to the rest of their team.Maybe Bendix was just gay.
>>151106770
>>151107037Surface level, but underneath that is pure Wolverine.
>>151105944I honestly thought The Wild Storm was interesting but it didn't have enough tits and spandex so everyone hated it violently.
>>151106627Considering the failure of Hush 2, no, Jim Lee is not in demand anymore.
>>151107677Hush 2 sold great thoughHe just can't get it out on time and Loeb is delivering the worst plot and scripts of all time
>>151096039You stole it from Black culture, first, you sad fuckin' diet Nazi.
>>151096425Oh noes, not W BushWhy are comic book writters such faggots they are terrified by republicans? It really sounds retarded instead of clever like they intend to.
>>151106770>>151107279qrd
>>151098278Is Alan Scott de-gayed? I expect it after Trump won.
>>151107967Nobody cares when you steal from dindunuffings.Elvis? Based? Black fatigue? All ours.
>>151108087US government hates the team and how they think they’re basically gods so they send someone to create discord within the group and part of that is fucking up Apollo and Midnighter’s relationship Overall most were OOC for the sake of plot and the writer didn’t understand how Midnighter’s implants work
>>151094300LoGH has the most clusterfuck canon I've ever seen out of any team of capes
>>151108877That's part of the charm.
>>151108432I don't think anyone did after the first few runs. Midnighter would talk about them but then they'd just amount to jack and shit as the opponent pulled out some bullshit counter to them.
>>151108877Who is to blame for that?
>>151096039hahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH post you can actually smell
>>151094294The Ellis run is phenomenal, is the Millar run decent?
>>151110150It is if you are into edgeslop
>>151094294Stormwatch was better. Original Stormwatch.
>>151110791Ellis thinks otherwise
>>151111245Wouldn't be the only stupid opinion that man has had.
I found an old storytime of the Authorithy: HOTI in the archives: https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/77334235
>>151111689>storytimed in 2015>a decade agoWhere does time go lads?
>>151105973>FairchildIt's amazing how nobody at DC knows what to do with her
I miss these motherfuckers a lot
>>151100425The nature of teams like the Authority and WildC.A.T.S. meant that it was hard to write a standard supervillain since there was no reason for them to be left alive in the first place.
>>151112430Like most other heroines at DC or Marvel, everyone knows exactly what to do, but they just won't do it.
>>151112853I really wish DC could have done a more with the Wildstorm characters in general or at least during the New 52. Midnighter had a solo, a mini and was part of the latest Warworld saga (along with Apollo) and Grifter got something to do in Gotham but DC could have done a lot more, like a series explaining the relationship between Khera and Krypton, have kherubims be descendants of kryptonian colonizers who conquered the Titanomorphs in ancient history, or have Henry Bendix being an associate with the likes of Luthor or General Eiling.
>>151107488Ellis is the only one to blame for that.
>>151094519That last part never happened anon
>>151113427I think he’s talking about the Captain Atom mini where he beats up everybodyThough that was more him sperging out and Authority defending themselves
>>151112430That’s because that entire book and all the characters were mediocre and held up by fanservice. And DC has plenty of fanservice characters already without adding more that most people don’t even know about.
>First Wildstorm character to make it into the big screen.>Has almost nothing in common with the comic character.Fuck you Gunn.
>>151113592You know he regrets not making Engineer Metallo or Mercy lmao
>>151113592I loved the movie but I was so disappointed that they botched her so much, Gunn had no problem including the one Daily Planet girl with her cleavage out all the time, so I don't know why hot liquid metal girl was a bridge too far and her characterization was nowhere near what it should be
>>151113592The actress who played Engineer didn't have a clue about the character she was portraying either:>In the comics, Angela Spica is depicted as a woman made of liquid machinery who can morph her body into different weapons. This incarnation of the character, played by Maria Gabriela de Faría, isn't quite like that, instead using nanotechnology to alter herself. One sequence in the film — a sprawling battle that plays out in a baseball field and is orchestrated from afar by Luthor — sees Angela summon swarms of nanobots running throughout her body to create razor-sharp throwing discs.>De Faría describes the Engineer as having "an edge" to her. "I imagined that Lex and Angie had this work relationship where they respect each other so much," she says. "Angela highly believes in Lex's idea of making the world a better place. She's practically given her life to Lex for this greater good. But at the same time, I feel like there's an element of an underlying relationship going on between the two of them. It's not in the movie," she clarifies, but de Faría remembers telling Gunn, "I feel like these guys fuck!”
>>151113592Still can't believe Isa TKM played Engineer
>>151113639Gunn told her she was portraying Mercy instead of Angela. Also: >Engineer civilian name is Angela Spica>She is played by a spicKek Gunn you asshole
>>151113646I get they didn't want to do the liquid metal weapons for the movie but they could have kept the visual, it looks really pretty in the comics
>>151113653Her feet look soft
>>151113639Actors are the dumbest people ever
>>151100608HopefullyThe only thing that wasn’t ass was Midnighter between 2014-2016 and even then he was questionable in that he jobbed to Dick when he shouldn’t haveThough I chose to cope by telling myself Midnighter was holding because cause he wanted to fuck him
>>151114182Who got it worse? Fairchild, Grunge, Majestic, Deathblow or Helspont?
>>151094294Can't wait for Based Gunn to adapt them make them actually relevant like he did with the Guardians...
>>151113624>so I don't know why hot liquid metal girlProbably because she'd draw comparisons to MCU Silver Surfer visually
>>151094294>based>bunch of hippy libtards
>>151114402I mean, Void exists...
>>151114404In what way were they liberals?
>>151114408She exists, but again the issue is that Superman was gonna be out the same year as MCU F4 and they already announced they were gonna have a female Silver Surfer, or Gunn likely knew that was going to happen and wanted to avoid the comparison.
>>151114426anarchists are libtards
>>151114426The fact they were faggots....
>>151114444>Gunn likely knew that was going to happen and wanted to avoid the comparison.By turning a character that has nothing in common with Luthor into notMercy?
>>151114447I thought anarchists were discount commies?
>>151113592She literally just feels like she was left over from a draft that had the Authority in it.
>>151114447In no way the Authority are anarchists
>>151113576This is the gayest post I have read in a while
>>151114500I'm talking about visually but yes
>>151114509commies are authoritarian, anarchists care about le heckin' individual rights>>151114538warren ellis is an anarchist and the authority is his soapbox.
>>151114617They don't fit the criteria and I say this as someone who lean right. If something, they were more gay authoritarians.
>>151094294The Authority and the Wildstorm universe should have stayed separate from DC. DC acts as if it's continuity and lineage is in perfect order and it can absorb a whole other universe of basically Elseworld characters for what?
>>151114657i don't think you know anything about anarchism and i also don't care. ellis is an anarchist, the authority is his soapbox, ergo they are anarchists
>>151114700I think you are a faggot
>>151114746i'm not a faggot. i think you're a dumbfuck zoomer and i'm also right about that
>>151114561And yet you don't offer an actual rebuttal
>>151107057Look what happened instead, they just adopted a hydrogen bomb baby.
>>151114677Wildstorm is basically dead as its own separate entity. The sales aren’t there anywhere. People have moved on. The only way the IP can exist is if you transfer and incorporate them to DCU. Otherwise you’re just doing nostalgia acts with ever less relevance to anything.Midnighter and Grifter have shown they can exist in DC. You just have to update and change things, you can’t just throw them in as they are because that doesn’t work
>>151101286Magog fucking sucks.
>>151096039>>151108153Niggers talk like retards. Studies have shown that slang is developed by youths who're too unintelligent to grasp concepts and words, so instead they create their own truncations that catch on with other less intelligent people. Niggers by and large have massively low-intelligence populations in high density, that's why so much of slang comes from them. Why would you want to rip off the faggot-tier unga-bunga-talk of niggers? Sure, you can talk like a sub-human, by why the fuck would you want to?
I love Jenny!
>>151106051>I don't think the Authority would go full lib and even less full woke if the team still existed in current times. Sure, they wouldn't mess with the lgtv+ movement but they wouldn't go "Free Palestine" either.Anon... Have you ever read the Authority? They would force a peace between Israel and Palestine
>>151114832Yes you are
>>151116217If they were libs they would destroy Israel
>>151116483They would curb stomp the far-right government officials enacting genocide. And then either force there to be a two state solution or one unified country where Israel is stripped of its ethnic religious state design in favour of everyone living in the country having the same equal rights. And they would say they’re coming back if hostilities don’t cease
>>151116478yeah i am right that he's a dumbfuck zoomer
>>151094294Gen13 are cooler and hotter and by definition more based
>>151116675Engineer is hotter than any of the Gen13 girls.
>>151116049Shouldn't 21st Century Jenny be informatic themed?
>>151117129>Jenny AI
>>151115579>One unified countryBased Authority would bring back Jerusalem
>>151116616>Implying Apollo or Midnighter wouldn't behead the heads of Hezbollah and Hamas>Implying the whole wouldn't shit on Islam for its view on women and homosexuality in general
>>151115038What is there to refute? You are gay
wildbump
>>151113653Would
>Midnighter's love and trust for Apollo overrides the computer in his brain, making it not register him as a threatThey invented love, anons.
>>151119565
>>151113592>>151113624>>151113639Engineer was a leftover from a previous script, Gunn's Superman was going to adapt Superman vs The Elite but at some point they changed to The Authority. After Gunn decided to scrap most of that he kept her as Luthor's henchwoman, since Gunn knows shit about comics and just write the characters as he pleases. And like some anon said they took her chrome because of Silver Surfer.
>>151114332Voodoo
>>151120529Any day now, Voodoo's evil clone and her army of daemonites will invade the earth. Any day now...
>>151119565I miss them being parents to Jenny Q. Fascinating how they did that during the early to late 00s when that was much more controversial yet refuse to go back to that status quo now that it’s more commonplace.
>>151107037Midnighter giving out cards with his little speech on them was the best thing about the authority
>>151121124Is Jenny Quantum out there somewhere in the current continuity being a 25 year woman?
I found another storytime of The Authority, this time is the Ellis run: https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/125225763
>>151120140>Engineer was a leftover from a previous script, Gunn's Superman was going to adapt Superman vs The Elite but at some point they changed to The Authority. I remember the casting leaks from back when the movie still had Legacy in the title:>Casting is underway for Jack Hawksmoor, a member of the The Authority who derives superhuman abilities from a symbiotic bond with cities. He will be portrayed by a black actor.>Casting is underway for Engineer, a member of The Authority whose body has been enhanced with advanced nanotechnology. She will be portrayed by a hispanic actress.>Casting is underway fo the Doctor, a member of The Authority who is a powerful shaman.>Eve Teschmacher will be Lex Luthor's assistant and a social media influencer for LexCorp.>Jimmy Olsen is an open casting call, with actors from different ethnicities testing for the role.In the end, only spic Engineer remained. Source for the leaks: >https://comicbookmovie.com/superman/superman-legacy/superman-legacy---we-may-now-know-which-members-of-the-authority-will-appear-a203766
I just hope Gunn never again gets to put his filthy hands on another Wildstorm character
>>151113046There just isn't a way to fit Wildstorm on DC earth without butchering the chars. They're too powerful and bloodlusted to make any type of sense. Even when Jenny Q or Midnighter gets written into a story, it feels forced.The best hope would have been to attempt those suggestions on a parallel earth and just smash together the two brands. Then leave the less interesting supers to the slaughter field.
>>151121740She has a side book as the super killer that the JLA calls in. Ironically she is tasked with killing The Atom.
>>151117571The second Doctor was literally a Palestinian suicide bomber.
>>151119746>every year i bring my lover roses, and i weep for it is all i know.
>>151122270Movie was clearly rewritten a lot of times and another one when Gunn was self-appointed as director/writer. You can see his classic style where he brings 30+ obscure characters and simply write them as he pleases since he knows shit about comics. He did the same in GotG and TSS - also Peacemaker from what I heard, since I never watched the show.
>>151122514Is that Fairchild on the right? Damn
>>151094294>>151100425>>151112819The Authority and WildC.A.T.S. doing their thing would make for a far less stable world. Thirdy countries like Russia, Iran and North Korea would crash build their own Supers to defend themselves or simply nuke the US the moment they were attacked.
>>151094294Based on what
>>151123171Yes and he was portrayed as a villain.
>>151107037Bendix is woke. See Authority: Revolution.
>>151107132Don't forget Clark.
>>151107488It also fucking sucked liquid shit and took all twenty issues to get a semblance of a plot moving.
>>151113592People here posted pics of fen Surfer and I thought it was Gunn's Engineer ffs
>>151114538They very literally are anarchists, anon.
>>151114677This anon gets it.>>151115181This retard faggot sucks corporate dick for a living.
>>151094294Yeah it's actually underrated in this day and age and I don't want Gunn ruining it. People forgot what it was about -- a group of super heroes who took over the world and how this just created more problems.
>>151125576was that the one where he made version of midnighter and apollo extremely homophobic
>>151125506No he wasn't.
>>151125717No, you're thinking of the Millar/Peyer storyline, with Last Call and Teuton.
>>151125506>as soon as he was "possessed" he starts crying about how stupid and barbaric terrorism is becomes the opposite of a villaindid we read the same comic? the OG dr was more of a villain because he didnt understand the power and started shooting smack and watching animal porn
>>151125767I remember him being portrayed as a madman. I don't know if that qualifies as a bad or good guy to you?
>>151125788ah fair enough. i read revolution recently and i dont recall it being woke. what was woke about bendix? because he didnt care about them being gay
>>151125790OG Doctor was an interesting guy for sure
I've been eyeing the Compact. Redpill me on Authority. What is it?
>>151125798he was not a madman, if anything he was a stupid kid, which he admits.
>>151125825He is just using that word without actually understanding what it means
>>151125829i liked the idea of him watching animal porn, because hes so confused about his perception of love of all things he sees animal porn as totally "normal". thats how i always understood it anyways because having an extra 15 senses would really fuck you up
>>151125798He was never portrayed as a 'madman', anon. You're thinking of Millar's previous Doctor story.
>>151125839A group of superhumans say they have had enough with the governments and the UN and decide to take over as the authority. From there, they face an asian dictator, an invader from another universe and an alien that created the planet earth as his garden. And that's just Ellis, Milar takes things to a whole new edge.
>>151125927the last doctor before jeron was a fucking nutter>consumed every single bottle of a certain wine at once and self induced coma'd himself >replaced a childhood memory of angies to make her deal with 30 years of hiding the secret all at once. that is a haunting fucking though desu

>>151126674adam eve, the trans character from invincible.
I've read the Ellis & Millar runs, and gone back to read Stormwatch (Winter is the coolest guy), but I haven't heard much about post-Millar Authority. What's good and what should I avoid?Oh, and I read Kev, but I can't recall where that falls in the timeline.
>>151126712Same but with Gen13

Has anyone read Wildstorm vs Waller?
>>151125939>. From there, they face an asian dictator, an invader from another universe and an alien that created the planet earth as his gardenThese stories felt very repetitive.
>>151128386That just sounds so fucking retarded.
>>151128418from what i recall its not the actual authority.
>>151128418That's because it is retarded
>>151121124Gays parents being controversial is WHY they did it. Authority at its heart was supposed to be edgy and against the grain.That’s also why Midnighter and Apollo got married and why the new doctor was Palestinian.
>>151094294>decide to check on The Authority Rule34 for old time's sake thanks to this thread>there's a two page Swift comic where the dude who abducted her in Human on the Inside actually fucks herThanks, OP!
>>151128629Can't remember if Swift was Tibetan (vs just ambiguously asian or Chinese) prior to the Secret History of the Authority but if she wasn't then that counts too. Especially since Authority first's villain was just Fu Manchu.
>>151123948Why would you nuke the US when the Authority are living out in the Bleed? WildC.A.T.S. I guess since they're based in the US but nuking the place doesn't guarantee you'll get them and then you've just pissed off NATO and - I forget if Wildstorm U is like Marvel and DC - the country with the biggest number of superhumans who wear their underwear outside the pants.
>>151113526I think there's another crossover where the JL beats up the Authority but it's all a dream or some shit.
>>151114332What did they do to Majestic?
>>151126712It's been a long time since I read any post-Millar Authority but the impression that remains is that it's tepid shit at best.As for Kev . . . I think I read one issue and decided that, having read all of Hitman and the Boys and some Punisher Max, I didn't need more Garth Ennis writing a black hair ex-military normie guy who pwns the supes in my life. The only thing I remember is that Kev makes fun of Apollo and Midnighter for being gay and gets away with it without consequence.
>>151128947No longer from Khera. After new52, he was James Bronson, a member of the "first" Team 7 who got experimented on, given flying brick powers as a result and became a villain. Then during Infinite Frontier, another Majestic appeared. This time, Majestic is a kid who can SHAZAM himself into his flying brick persona. He also claims to be kryptonian now.
>>151129023Should have kept reading then. Kevin gets shat on a lot for an Ennis ex-military normie guy.
>>151098278why is the art skewed
>>151129045Fairchild too got a similar retcon. She is now a kid who gets super strong, like Molly Hayes from Runaways.
>>151129045Oh God I remember the first one now. It was so awful. I actually like Majestic in Wildstorm.
>>151128915Well, nuke the Authority I guess if they show up. Either way there's going to be a planetwide nukes'n-supers arms race for sure.
>>151122514Shame none of the original Stormwatch girls made it into this pic. Also a shame most of them got killed. Even if some came back later, it barely mattered by then.
>>151117129Pretty sure the Jenny from The Wild Storm was that instead of Jenny Quantum.
>>151128417>These stories felt very repetitive.nta but yes, they are. Honestly The Authority loses steam after the first dictator, it shows you why Batman never kills the Joker, because if he did that in their first encounter his comic would be about him killing another generic loon every week and there is no fun in that

>>151130798At some the Batman editorial team should have moved from the Joker many years ago.
>>151131944Batman has a great gallery of villains but Joker sells, that's it. Trying to make a Batman book without joker is like trying to sell hotdogs without the bun
>>151132049I disagree. I know Joker sells but what else can be done or said with the character? Batman who keks was "the jumping the shark" moment for me. There's that can be said or done that hasn't been done before.
>>151132180the trick would be making him anything other than a mass murderer
>>151094300>Legion of SuperheroesShit's geekier than Star Trek.
>>151132180Absolutely, but you know what? People loved that shit. Every time they jump the shark I think "that's it, comics are done" they break some selling record. Just look at shit like Dark Knights Metal and Absolute DC, or what Marvel is doing with Spider-Man in the last 10 or so years.
>>151129496>>151128915Anon they are The Authority. Putin or Kim want to send some nukes? Fucking send them, they won't do jackshit to a reality warper, a flying brick who is a power battery fueled by the sun or a techno-organism that can take any form. And it's not like they care about collateral damage in the first place.
>>151094788this. they needed more money for extra research thou to make it even more convoluted, some of the late stuff seems rushed
>>151094788>>151132846Good thing Planetary was a one thing only and the team rided to the sunset to never being seen again.
>>151132877>one thing onlyAnon, I...
>>151132895How? Planetary barely fit in the original Wildstorm canon.
>>151128386From what I remember it was set up in the 80's, it was Batallion (and Stormwatch) facing Waller. Lois Lane is investigating something and Winter is a traitor.
>>151130798As much as I think Wildstorm lacked recurring villains, the ones we got like TAO, Henry Bendix or Lord Helspont were memorable as they were.
>>151128386No.
