Glad to hear it.

Anyone reading this for the first time?

>>83771097
I first read it when I learned about the Hypercrisis.

>>83771163
Better detective than Batman, I see.

And that concludes the History of the DC Universe backups! From here on out it'll be a two-page origin for various heroes.

>>83771226
I love these history pages.

>>83771069
Tot kept biting his ear about it for years.

thx based op

>>83771466
That page has an interesting context now...

>>83771392
>that's rude, lust!
God, Billy is adorable.

>>83771630
I wonder were there some Adamfags who didn't like him stop killing because of Isis.

Based! Thanks Johnny!

Anyone else see the trailer for the new Zelda? Looks crazy.

>>83771647

I love this Adam.

Wonder if we'll ever get to see it in a movie, The Rock'd knock this out of the park.

It's time for the Main Man!

>>83772847
That's cover for volume 2, it's tied to Lobo's story.

>>83772877
And only one of them turns out to be supervillain!
>>83772882
>Lex thinking green and purple are good combination
Oh, Lex.

>>83772774
>Isis doesn't wear underpants
I keep seeing this pattern with JSA members and those closely tied to them.

Think what it must've been like to be on the ground looking up.

>>83773280
The Zeppelin, right? Dirigible?
Member of the Inferior Five, anyway. Morrison must have had him put in.
>>83773290
And Beefeater, last seen in Batman Incorporated.

>>83773166
In better world, we'd have Croatoans ongoing.

Beefeater was the only one I recognized, and IIRC he's the only one who actually met Booster in person during JLI.

Let's play Spot the Part Written By Morrison, everybody!

>>83773401
In the trades there's a bit of commentary by Giffen about how he basically tricked Morrison into writing Lobo.

>>83773434
All I know is
>[UNINTELLIGIBLE SCOTTISH] river Styx, [SCOTTISH SCOTTISH] space heroes, yeah.

>>83773486
Goddamn, Starfire looks too good in that sweater.
No wonder Buddy had some lingering temptation.

>>83773280
I know there are no small heroes and all but sheesh ;-;

>>83773582
There are reserve members of the LOSH, and then there are those consigned to Limbo.

>>83773434

I like the idea of Giffen as a trickster god in the Hypercrisis.

>>83773434
I'll have to check if my local library has the trades available, I gotta read that.

>>83773636

My library had them, they seem to be pretty commonly collected since 52 is so frequently recommended.

>>83772564
I see what you did there you son of a bitch.

>>83773466
I should've spotted that Skeets is acting weird here.

There's a digital rip around

>>83770980
thanks op

New DCfag here.
Is the 52 a cornerstone of the DC universe I should read?

>>83784679

Definitely yes. It's a good introduction to a lot of elements of the DCU and its superhero community apart from the major A-listers, and is also the point where the Multiverse gets reintroduced after being destroyed back during Crisis on Infinite Earths.
It's also a damn good story on its own merits and is fun to read along with even if you're new to the DCU.

>>83784777
Thanks.

Is Batwoman in it much or just a couple issues?

I've only read new 52 Batman and Batwoman so far and liked both, for the most part.

>>83785068
Batwoman isn't that important here and kinda sucks in it desu.

She was originally going to have an ongoing way way back when, like 2007ish, but the media hype and curiosity about a lesbian batcharacter made them suddenly cancel the plans for the ongoing, boot the creative off without telling them, and shove her in 52 real quick to get her out there. That caused her character to not be solidified and she basically plays second fiddle to Renee.

>>83785068

Renee Montoya is more of the focus character for that part of the story, but Batwoman plays an important role in it. She appears multiple times.

>>83785187
She did get the miniseries Elegy
Which was pretty fantastic.

>>83784679
It is considered an event book and is actually widely loved
Which is super rare for these big organized corporate event stories.

And it is a great story for new readers cause while you may not know most if any of the characters, you'll be a fast learner and get a real feel just how much bigger DC is than just their usual main guys.

>>83773330
Where is Timothy Hunter during all this, did the Spectre kill him when he was going on a rampage?

>>83772399
Edits?

First-timer here. Much thanks, OP.

>>83773596
Holy shit I just realized the "He knows" speechbubble isn't in normal Skeets talk

bamp

>>83771249
That's where DC lost me -- turning sweet Superboy into a modern piece of shit villain.

Shit on everything that went before just to eke out another dollar. How could any writer take pride in this?

>>83805847
he did nothing wrong

>>83805883
If re-creating the old multiverse would have gotten rid of all the modern grimdark and Kryptonians raping women to death with blood all over the place, then yeah. The old guys were right and the villains of the story were, and are, and continue to be, the modern heroes.
