Yeah. Orlando said we'll see many cameos/references of LGBT characters from DC in this mini. So far we got Extrano, Monsieur Mallah, Brain and Hugh Dawkins.

I wonder if Constantine will help Midnighter procure his round trip ticket to Hell.

They don't call him Blandpollo for nothing.

What's offensive is the fact that Apollo wasn't killed off already.
>>
>>87418963
It's not his fault that nobody in 18 years of existence has managed to give Apollo a strongly defined personality
>>
>>87419286
So a book with his name in its title shouldn't be a good start?
>>
>>87419349
It's 2 issues in anon, relax. Apollo won't get any depth but he'll definitely kick ass.

Iirc, Orlando said that if it does well, it would make a good case to be bumped to monthly.

I don't know about you but this looks manly to me. Manlier than Middy even.

let's not forget he used to have long hair

>>87418827

How does the series subscription work?
Do you pay a sub for each series?
>>
>>87422840
I thought it worked the opposite way.
>>
>>87423127
You just click subscribe on the series you want and every month they take 3-4$ off your credit card (whatever the issue costs) whenever a new issue comes out. You can cancel the subscription any time you want, since you don't pay in advance.
>>
>>87422757
We discussed this last issue.
There is a thought process that argues that it isn't combat exclusively that he excels at. Yes, it is called his combat computer, but even Orlando himself wrote their breakup before the DCYou series being caused by Middy calculating with his computer that he and Apollo shouldn't be together. So, if it can work in that context, perhaps it isn't a combat computer as much as one that calculates the most efficient means of making Middy's endgame desire at any moment a reality. Applying such a thought process to sex could make it so that Middy is not only a great lay, but potentially the best. He may be as talented at sex as he is at combat, and if what he wants is to make his lover climax, or feel the most unimaginable ecstasy, he potentially could, even on a second to second basis where Middy might want to make his lover cum, before not wanting to because he'd want to fuck longer, and while all of this is happening, his computer is calculating how to accomplish what he desires. Therefore, Middy would be the bottom, not in a subservient capacity however. He would be the most POWER of a power bottom, orchestrating intercourse from his position to make his lover never want to fuck another living thing because nothing could ever be better.
>>
>>87423304
Personally, it also makes sense to have someone with a healing factor be a bottom to someone with super strenght. That way both of them can really let go.
>>
>>87416777
>He's in hell

IS IT BECAUSE HE WAS GAY? I AM OFFENDED DC.
>>
>>87416326
As much as I love Middy and Apollo. This is a pretty underwhelming issue.
>>
>>87423381
Try to keep up, baiter. Bendix orchestrated his being taken to Hell in the first issue.

>>87416744
That dialogue and that art makes it look like he's about to get molested.

Kind of feels like we're building up to a Orpheus and Eurydice reference, which would be appropriate considering who Orpheus' dad is.

Also, it's really satisfying to see heroes who actually solve their issues without a heap of moral dilemmas. Bendix being stabbed was particuöarly good.

Also Laser Ghost Jefferson?

Incarnation... so it could be a reborn Femm Zeruel, or Angel Supergirl.
>>
>>87429431
Swift, you nignog, Swift is a Tibetan Buddhist figurehead hatched from an egg. Bitch literally has no parents.

Swift was the final Doctor in the WSU, and while the Doctors weren't reincarnations of anything, Swift's Buddhist lore has those kinds of implications and you could go 50-50 on 'em.

>>87416804
I remember some kung fu movie I watched ages ago where the hero's love interest ends up in hell. He goes what the fuck am I gonna do and his badass mentor instantly replies "Then we'll have to Storm Hell!". And they do.

Gave me feels then, gives me feels now.
>>
>>87416744
So... if Hell brings out the Sun God, will it also bring out Night's Dark Bringer of War? (lol)
And how badly is that going to backfire?
>>
Does Apollo have any characteristics other than "Midnighter's love interest"?

Because fuck, people say Wiccan's boring, but this guy's on another level.
>>
>>87435795
Also "high speed low drag operator"
>>
>>87439794
Not really. He's a nice father I guess? He was the one spending time with Jenny when Midnighter did his lone wolf stint in the Revolution arc.

I read literally every Authority book and not even one made me care about Apollo. Him and Swift are the most boring ones in the team. I always cared about Midnighter, so I guess that extended to me caring about his love for Apollo. As a solo, individual character he holds no interest to me though.
>>
>>87439194
I don't know, I remember Congirilla saying something about "Hey, you're gay, he's gay. Why don't you guy date?" and then Mik gave some speech about what you mentioned anon. But in the end he said something like "he doesn't look bad though".

Gay for Justice is something we all try to forget.
>>
>>87439898
Orlando's Midnighter solo was the firsta book that made me care about Apollo, but he had more about him in the last two issues of that series and in the first two of this one, which is weird, considering this one bears his name.
>>
>>87439019
Maybe he's not used to people giving him affection 'cept for Apollo.

He needs an intense session of hug therapy.
>>
>>87439794
He's always had some quirks like really liking shitty tv and being frustrated at how Midnighter treats him with silk gloves (justifiedly so, though) but writers never bother to expand on them.
>>
>>87441426
Ennis gave him a bunch of weird hobbies like painting and making card houses, that's about as close to a personality as he's gotten
>>
>>87440637
I don't think Orlando cares much about Apollo. Can't blame him, though.
>>
>>87442032
Then call the book "Midnighter: Whatever" if he's not going to care about Apollo.
>>
>>87442124
It probably wasn't his choice. A lot of Middy/Apollo shippers were whining during his solo Midnighter run because they weren't together.
>>
>>87442032
Have you read his interviews? He really, really doesn't.

>>>87442189
> break up one of the first established gay couples
> replace Apollo with a guy that looks a lot like him but turns out to be a villain
> shoehorn Midnighter into the batfamily

If he wasn't expecting people to whine, that says more about his foresight than it says about fans.
>>
>>87442271
Orlando put them together, he didn't break them up. That happened at the beginning of the new 52

He just had Midnighter slut around a little which triggered a lot of people apparently, somebody post that tumble post about how the book was homophobic
>>
>>87442329
>Orlando put them together, he didn't break them up.

No really, they were together in the end of Stormwatch.
>>
>>87442387
Yeah they were barely developed after that so this "we were going very fast in the relationship" thing didn't make much sense.
>>
>>87442460
I thing a lot of the complaints were that in prereboot Authority Apollo was shown to be literally the thing holding Midnighter together, so it was weird to see him so well adjusted by his own.
>>
I'm still hoping Apollo appears in Supergirl.

I love Apollo's design and premise, I just wish they'd do something with him other than have him be Midnighter's plot device.
>>
>>87442271
Seely and King shoehorned him into the Batfamily, not Orlando and did it with disrespect
They didn't even know Midnighter had powers beyond his fight computer
>>
>>87447607
This. Sun God superhero is a cool enough premise, too bad noone really uses him.
So far his best appearance in the DC Universe was his cameo in I, Vampire.

Dunno why people are complaining about Polly so much, sure he got dragged to hell so Midnighter can play hero in the very first issue, but looks like he's doing his own thing down there and he's been show to be heroic and determined as fuck.
That's just his thing, he's reckless and gets destroyed at some point, then continues to be a flying brick with no regard for his own safety.
