WHY THE FUCK DOES CO READ MY MIND ALL THE TIME!?
I was seriously thinking about story timing WildCATs sometime to get more people on here interested. I've read a lot of Wildstorm because I found a whole complete universe torrent of it like years ago. I got it basically for the Authority and then Stormwatch. And back then I didn't really like WildCATs but I was bored and gave it a read.
Then I found out I like WC a lot. I think they just started faltering around the time of the story OP is story timing because after Moore sent them off to Khera and back they lost all real purpose as a team. I think everyone couldn't figure out what to do with them without the Demonite threat -- then again the Deamonites never exactly went away on earth. They could of brought back Helspont and Defile at any time.
My goal in life is to write for DC and I'd love to write the WildCATs (and all Wildstorm properties) into the main DC universe some more. Making them two separate universe's is a waste of so much creative potential.
>>88408007
I disagree I generally feel combining them was a bad idea.
>>88408140
Why? I think Wildstorm had it's moments where it ran into creative brick walls because it wanted to use certain characters but had to make up new ones where it could of just used established DC characters for those roles instead.
>>88408321
I think it runs into problems because of what the DC Universe is supposed to be.
The Authority for one is a team of largely loose parodies of the JLA
I just think there is often an issue in overcrowding in those places.
Titty ninja civil war was great.
>>88408362
Also. D.C. has good relations with capes, and wild storm has tons of crazy super hero teams running covertly. It doesn't match up

Fight sex pls
More fight sex pls

Well that was one of the premise's behind something I wanted to do with Wildstorm.
Have a WildCATs vs Justice League event. I normally don't like hero vs hero stuff, but the issue here was that difference. The WildCATs going around killing deamonites, where public thinks they're killing innocent people and the Justice League trying to stop them. BUT...
Batman's being possessed by Helspont. And has been for awhile, secretly directing the Justice League for his own stuff. The WC kidnap him to reveal this and it creates a shitstorm between the two teams.
>>88408546
So Janus directive from suicide squad except aliens?
>>88408568
Basically is what it sounds like
DC doesn't need any more covert organizations
They don't give enough page time to ones they already do have.
Also as the issue's HL is story timing right now reveal. The Coda would make a perfect enemy group for Wonder Woman.
Imagine a Coda vs Amazon war! Where the Coda try and claim Themyscira as their own (which is their home base in the Wildstorm universe) and Wonder Woman has to go around fighting their various sects across the world.
And that's one of the reasons I came up with this >>88408546 imagine how Zealot and Wonder Woman would react to each other. Would they be rivals or friends or both at various times?
There would definitely be conflict there and that's grounds for a good story.
>>88408690
Good job
>>88408671
What could go wrong with screwing the immortal all knowing cyborg?
>>88407181
Trump?

Yeah but Wildstorm's weakness was that it didn't have as much OVERT superhero teams doing stuff either, like the Justice League. There was Stormwatch but that kept failing and for most of it's existence, Henry Bendix's personal army (which I loved too though Bendix is probably my favorite villain).
So that's why they work in the DC universe because it gives the Wildstorm characters/properties something they never had which is a clean cut, legitimate super hero team the public respects and looks up too. Guys like Union would definitely have a place there, where he has no such team in Wildstorm.
I can see your point though, don't get me wrong. I think Wildstorm needs DC more than DC needs Wildstorm. But with enough creative vision and knowledge of both universes and characters, a writer, hopefully myself, could really great something extraordinary out of it all.
>>88408826
Oh god can't unsee
>>88408823
This artist does hookers well
>>88408838
That's the issue. There aren't a lot of writers at DC who could make that work
>>88408671
And I miss chrome-suit pink-eyed Spartan. (If was into Cosplay that's something I would love to do). I wonder where they were going with him. In the end Hadrian turned into some super god AI thing.
I wonder what happened with Marlowe becoming the High Lord too? If they ever intended on doing more with that. But Honorary Legionnaire do you see my point about how WildCATS became kind of pointless in this era? Sorry to talk your ear off during a story time but this is something I have no one to talk to about and I just finished reading this exact story like a month ago.
I don't think the solution to Superhero comics is to make them more complex.
>>88408922
People talking is always better than not in a story time.
>>88408907
Not to tot my own horn here but that's where I would come in. It could work if it was from me because that's my own personal mission and vision so to speak.
There is another angle to this too in that using Wildstorm properpities is good for DC's BUSINESS. There is a meta-franchise going on obviously. The comics great content and then all these movies, games, shows etc take from that content. Everything I ever write is written on multiple levels -- the first being a good comic and story and the second level being something that can be adapted later, it's prepacked and ready to go.
A good example would be say... using the WildCATs in the CW universe. Imagine Peter Dinklage playing Jacob Marlowe/Lord Imp! He could definitely pull it off and be an interesting character for that show/universe. I think Josh Holloway (the dude who plays Sawyer on LOST) would make a perfect Grifter too.
>>88408926
Normally I'd agree to this but in the case I'm arguing for it's about giving them something to do. I think one big problem in cape/super hero stuff is everyone kind of runs out of ideas at some point. You need conflict to keep the story's going and using the Wildstorm stuff would be like using some properties DC already has instead of trying to come up with newer stuff?
Not that I'm opposed to new stuff, just that the old stuff isn't done yet either. Why come up with a new character when you could use a character that's sitting around doing nothing and not being used in the first place?
I say that for super hero stuff exclusively. Marvel and DC need to focus on using what they already have and neglect than coming up with newer stuff per say. Make the old into the new.
>>88409368
I get my superheroics these days from other places than Marvel and DC so I really have no stake in the game.
I think they run into problems because they have a need for their universes to continue to infinity so it requires a bunch of kneecapping
That is Volume 2

I always wondered how come Spartan and Voodoo never hooked up again or why the writers didn't pursue their relationship a bit more, not just the romantic part but the plutonic, friendship part too.
And I hate how they just forgot about Warblade. Warblade's the most underrated character, I love him. But everyone keeps fucking him up.
