I'd like to think this was a reference to Byrne's OMAC miniseries.

...which was great.

>>92254891

The Etrigan, Atlas and two Sandmen statues are a nice touch. And kamandi. Can't find a manhunter one though.

Yeah, I'm willing to excuse the non-Kirbyish diction if it fits the tone.

The mask is great and a top tier FW design.

>>92254954

They're references to Kirby's DC creations. They're really only missing Manhunter (either of the two Kirby did), OMAC and the Newsboy Legion and Guardian

I wish more people would take "The Hunger Dogs" into account.

I know it's not popular, but its take on New Genesis/Orion's dynamic in the war is great.

>>92255009
>They're references to Kirby's DC creations.
I know, I just mean that since it's a FW story statues are a source wall thing.

It was ignored because DC wanted to keep using the FW characters. It was acknowledged as canon when it came out though, and in stuff like Kingdom Come.

Wasn't kirby originally meant to kill off heaps of the fourth world (at least orion and darkseid), but then DC was like nawwww because we need them for money.

Pretty much, and in The Hunger Dogs it's kept ambiguous as to whether Darkseid died or not, and can be read either way.

Hope the mini tightens up more.

But that's it for now.

>>92255136

Well yeah. Kirby had a beginning and an end for the Fourth World saga as early as when he began condensing it into a proposal. It ends with most of the characters introduced in New Gods and Forever People dying, Orion killing Darkseid and the war between New Genesis and Apokolips ending forever. But DC wanted to keep using Darkseid especially and had him handed out to various other writers and artists, and it was high on their list to not have those characters removed.

>>92254891
Between shade, cave carson and this, Young animal is balling out of control.

Same with the Wildstorm reboot. Who would have thought?

>>92255195
That ending would have been great, but what I appreciate about the ending that eventually occurred is how meditative it feels. Orion breaking free from this cycle feels like he's really matured and the parallels between him and Young Izaya are fucking great.

>>92254907
Oh shit. It's a mask? I never knew that. Can I go into this series blind despite just knowing Forager from the JL cartoon?

>>92255136

DC didn't force him to do anything. He kept Darkseid and Orion alive out of courtesy for DC. Kirby was a consummate team player, good and ill.

>>92255023
I like the cut of this plush's gib.

>OP starts with a quote

Just from looking at the catalog I could tell who it was. Thanks for posting, Dave. Really excited to check this out for the twelve issues it lasts

>>92255496

It's a six issue mini. No cancellation worry here.

>>92255170
This is a much less cynical tale.

Okay, where's the content that's supposed to be for mature readers only? So far it's been a nice little all-ages adventure.....

You guys better keep this bumped. This is a good comic and I know that America Chavez shit will reach 500 posts with complaints no problem

>>92255496
>>92255506
Yeah, and King's New Gods project is also likely a mini.

Which is good...I think without the larger DCU push, they'd be in trouble otherwise.

Good shit. Reminds me of the X-Statix: Dead Girl mini from back in the day, even thought this is much tamer.

A wonderful read. I have high hopes.

Young Animal has been pretty good. Can't wait to pick up this issue. Has anybody been reading Mother Panic or Shade the changing girl. Was thinking of getting the trade for one of the two.

>>92255232
That's what I'm doing.

>>92255791
To be fair, it's why Forager is perfect for a side story like this. Not much was really expanded with him.

>>92255191
This middle panel breaks all the rules and yet it still works. Reading from left to right shows Forager backflipping over General Electric, but in the context of the scene he's frontflipping over him to catch the whistle. Your eyes follow the backflip, read Electric's bubble, continue the flip, read Forager's bubble, and then follow the flip the correct way back to connect with the panel below it. This is a fantastic use (abuse?) of the medium by Allred.

>>92256034
It works since there is no dialog, it's just an action.

>>92256034
My thoughts exactly. You can't really frame that dynamic subversive action in any other medium.

>>92255756
Mother Panic is kind of medicore at picking a tone and sticking with it. Each arc (3 issues each) has a different artist, and the tone shifts dramatically based on who is drawing it (rough ugly art for a gritty story, vs. more cartoony exaggerated art with the same darker writing clashes)
Shade is great, but you might need to be the kind of person who can handle high school writing tropes, since the first arc is about the alien taking over the High School Queen Bitch's comatose body.

Feels pulpy

>>92256034
Looking at the abysmal first row, l dont know if it's intentional.

>>92256735
Feels disjointed

>>92255756
Mother panic is like a drug trip sometimes its good, sometimes is meh

>>92254988
Allred said Forager is a teen so I think that's why his word choice is a little odd

>>92259410
The first two are Sandman and Sandman (Wesley Dodds)

Issue of the week IMO

>>92255039
This shit is good.
Really good.

What other fourth world characters would you like to see get the miniseries treatment.

>>92260711
I know he's an OC addition but...
Kevin Kho - in "Escape From Kafka Island!"

And it depends on King's mini's scope.
Forager is an interesting case cause there's always been something going on with his character that was never finalized.

Anybody got the Fourth World reading order?

>>92255023
>it's a thinly veiled trump supporter's page

aaaand dropped

>>92261006

Forager is a cute

Really enjoyed this issue. I hope it stays and runs long. Funny to read, also smart and silly at the same time. And nice art.
Totally sold, if it lasts in this way.

>>92254907
>opening page - "HIS NAME WAS FORAGER!"
Off to a real good start.

Allred's art is so strange. He has such a distinctive style and everything he does has a weird kind of pulpy, old-school look while simultaneously looking clean and modern. I don't know, it's hard to describe.

>>92255756
Shade is my favoritr of the line-up.
Mother Panic is kind of mediocre. doesnt have any if the weirdness or supernatural the other series have

>>92254898
Neat variant

Bumpan

>>92261786
It fits this book well

I can't even begin to describe how good this comic is.

Allred's art is perfect for Kirby's designs, but this was boring and unfocused in the writing.

>>92263361
I think it was actually well rounded. It worked a lot of different elements in the same direction, with a lot of irony and without much rest from one scene to the following: which is pretty fitting for the story they're telling: the story of how someone who was dead, is not anymore thanks to dreaming wizardry asspulls, as well as to show how the MC is fucked and even plant the seed of mystery.

>>92254936
I love this

>>92254975
>silly girl, that's not how you make a proper mother box out of dominoes!

>>92259410
The one after Metron is Atlas

>>92255093
Super Powers 2, by Kirby is a direct sequel to Hunger Dogs (it starts on Apokolipse 5 minutes after Hunger Dogs ends), but is weirdly unknown.
It is also the 'inspiration' for Rock of Ages in the same way 7/11 ' inspires' shop lifting.

Didn't Gaimen bad end all Kirby's dream characters?

>>92255170
No, this is more Sandman or Kirby than Venture Brothers.

>>92254891
Holy shit, I was just thinking about Forager today too.

Sandman may be still in the process of happening in this new universe.

>>92259685
That's a pathetic excuse, this is just how Allred always writes dialogue for everyone. I wasn't expecting much but this sucked. wasn't there supposed to be a back up though?

Why didn't he shoot himself?

I really am enjoying this run, but what, or who, am I looking at here? Does Forager even have powers?

Why didn't he just shoot Starlin?

I like the bones of this issue, but I hope it slows down a tad. Bit packed.

There were some hints that he might have been a New God, but we'll see if the Allreds will tackle that.

Kirby's own Sandman.

everything about that makes more sense when you find out it was originally meant to be Guy Gardner who screwed up, not John Stewart

>>92267065
It's from Cosmic Odyssey.
John Stewart's out of character arrogance results in the destruction of an inhabited world.
It is just Starlin being Starlin and editorial not stepping in to stop it.
If the Lantern had just been an alien or an OC it would have worked and the series would be thought of as a classic. As it is it just kind of turns to hobopiss-instantly.

Yeah, it would have worked waaaay better, but still way too extreme treatment of character that has fans for my taste.

Definitely shows promise, I'm already liking it more than Doom Patrol which started off rocky. Might end up as good as Shade.

>>92265777
wonder woman needs a writer more than an artist

>>92265777
Forager is cuter than Wonder Woman

First time I ever saw Forager was in Superman's AS and thought he was cool but really couldn't find any comics with him as the main character.

Is this the first or is there more comics out there under some name I wouldn't know?

>>92270019
This is the first starring him, yeah

he's not had many total appearances

>>92254923
Wait, who's Lee Allred? Is he their son?

>>92270774
He's Mike's brother

>>92267669
Guy had fans who were writers at the time which is why they bullied the writer into making it Stewart via going to editorial/management.

>>92270019
He is the MC of issue 9 and has a good sized part of issue 10 of Kirby's New Gods. If you liked this anon, read all 11 issues of New Gods and Hunger Dogs. And see Orion as he is meant to be seen.

Further:
The Sandman; General Electric; Glob and Bloog all make their first appearences in Sandman 1 1974 by simon and Kirby. Manhunter is from first issue special number 5.
Everything mentioned except New Gods is in this book: >>92266041

Thank you.

>>92271173
But Cosmic Odyssey led to DC's Mosaic.

I loved DC's Mosaic

>>92264785
Indeed

>>92274814
I'm not really sure what it is with people's obsession with the Venture Bros. I get that it's one of the only real pulpy series in the public knowledge, but they have no awareness of where it comes from so they have no perspective on it. Basically I want the kids to get off of my lawn.

>>92265327
Oh shit

>>92267175
yes

>>92274845
Same. VB is an homage to much greater OC.

>>92275011
By greater you mean "larger in number" right, because VB is pretty fucking high quality

My original comment about the Venture Brothers was more about the coloring and style. This looks 70's like a cartoon from that era

>>92255039

He shows up in Ambush Bug: Year None for a quick gag about getting replaced by the Gaiman one, that was probably the last time DC used him.

>>92267261
no, that was Dodds Sandman. This Sandman was part of a later arc of Gaimans. This guy is the son of Hawkman and Hawkwoman and is also the biological father of Morpheus' re-encarnation. Yes, that means Hawkman is Dream's grandfather.

what? The Endless exist outside of the multiverse. They arent really effected by the crisis shit or Flashpoint stuff. That just effects portions of the multiverse.

>>92275961
whats angsty about it

>>92280807
we don't know what the deal with the Endless is in the post-Flashpoint universe

what's likely is that they've basically been continuing on regardless of what happens to the multiverse, and those dreams+Sandman were recreated somehow

>>92280821
The post you replied to was just saying this work might be a prequel to Sandman. Like Overture was despite being released after.

>>92280839
>we don't know what the deal with the Endless is in the post-Flashpoint universe


Yes we do. Multiversity showed us they exist outside the multiverse. AND even in Sandman this is shown with how Zero Hour creates that cosmic storm in the bar arc.

>>92280868
It cant be because Bug dying happened after that.

>>92280917
It even implied that the Dreaming bridges to other multiverses, as the Gentry from Multiverse to are seen creeping into Multiverse 1 via dreams.

Alright here is my headcanon. Basically White/New Morpheus let old (70s) Sandman go back to the world of the living on DC Prime Earth when either Rebirth or Flashpoint happened. Either because he feels sentimental (White Morpheus was shown as being much kinder than his last incarnation) or maybe Manhattan did it.

>>92280951
Thats a good point.

>>92280958
This could just be another multiverse version Bug and 70s Sandman.

>>92280958
Or the old Sandman is really Hector Hall again, the father of Daniel, after he died in JSA during Days of Vengeance.

>>92280977
Maybe, but he seems to remember Cosmic Odyssey.


>>92280991
Also a good point, Hector Hall's spirit might be in his body again.

>>92281017
Cosmic Odyssey could surely have happened in more than universe.

>>92281081
True.

>>92255056
>vile things, I think I love you
CARLOS

>>92280991
>>92281017
is this bug comic even connected to rebirth?

>>92281264
the whole universe is connected to Rebirth. In a Action Comics/Superman arc, a lot of the old DC history came back into canon. Death and Return of Superman, the League being around for years and years, the JLE etc. And in The Button it showed that the JL Watchtower vault is full of old shit. I guess people just dont really remember everything?

Remember that Multiversity also established Earth-51 as the "Kirby world". We saw Earth-51 in Multiversity, but it was set in Kamandi's time after the Great Disaster. It's possible this story could be taking place on Earth-51, but before the Great Disaster, i.e. our present.

>>92280821
Darkseid was affected by Flashpoint, the Endless are affected by Flashpoint. It was a multiversal level event. The Endless only oversee the local multiverse. There are other versions of the endless for the other multiverses.

>>92281423
Darkseid and the New Gods were inside the multiverse when Flashpoint happened, that's why they were affected

>>92281458
The Endless are a part of the Multiverse, they're fairly integral to it, actually. They cannot leave the Multiverse any more than you or I.

>>92281473
I guess when I said "inside the Multiverse" I should've said "inside the Orrery of Worlds"

the Endless are part of the Multiverse but they reside outside the Orrery of Worlds. Lucifer and Heaven exist outside the Orrery and were not affected by Flashpoint.

>>92281423
>There are other versions of the endless for the other multiverses.
There's more evidence to show the opposite actually.

>>92281500
>>92281473
>>92281458
>>92281423
They were not effected by Flashpoint. Multiversity ALSO established that the new gods exist outside of the multiverse too. There are just representations of them throughout the multiverse. The Darkseid in JL War was a different Darkseid than the one in Earth 2, but they are both aspects of the same Darkseid entity.


Same goes for the other gods too. Its similar how Morpheus appears different to everyone who looks at him

>>92281557
I mean JL Origin. Whatever. The johns one.

>>92281563
Johnseid can be easily ignored since he's not the real one.

>>92281500
Apokolips and New Genesis exist in the godsphere. They both were and were not affected by Flashpoint, depending on the scope of the story you are attempting to tell with them.

>>92281620
The Endless are the same way. We don't know when on their personal timelines of Sandman they are until they actually show up in something, same with the characters that show up in it.

>>92281620
They aren't affected but when they enter a universe they create an avatar to match so when entering a Flashpoint affected universe their avatar will make the proper adjustments.

>>92281644
>We don't know when on their personal timelines of Sandman they are
Don't they experience time linearly just like humans? I remember this being a point when Morpheus comments of his imprisonment and in Overture with how the father doesn't experience it linearly as a contrast to how Morpheus does.

>>92281650
All universes were affected by Flashpoint, it was a multiversal event.
Stories outside of the local multiverse aren't really worth talking about in the context of these currently published comic books, which all take place in the local multiverse, most assumedly in the universe of Earth-0.

>>92281678
Yes, but time got fucked, we don't know when we are or when their story is.

Having never read any Kirby or Gaiman Sandman stuff (I just know generally about them from osmosis) have the two ever met or mentioned each other before? How do their respective existences/jobs relate to one another?

>>92281692
Heaven was unaffected by Flashpoint and Manhattan's shenanigans, there is no reason to believe the Endless were as well

>>92281727
>Heaven was unaffected
source

>>92281727
When did Heaven come up post Flashpoint? I recall vaguely something in Trinity of Evil event crossover but nothing showing anything special about continuity.

>>92281737
>>92281762
the 2015 Lucifer comic that wasn't very good

>>92281773
Big G being aware of Flashpoint and the changes makes sense as He is a trans-temporal, omniscient being.

>>92281773
Oh fuck I haven't read that. I've just seen some out of context stuff like how the Presence returned to reality seemingly messed up from its time away. What all does it say about Heaven?

>>92281797
I barely remember what happened since as previously stated it wasn't very good, it just continues on from where the Carey run left off and the original Presence is dead

>>92281824
That sounds stupid and like I could safely ignore it.

>>92281842
it is stupid but it's still presumably canon

I guess years ago that would be a huge deal and probably piss me off, but post Multiversity with most things shown as pretty balanced out like Darkseid, Endless and God all roughly on the same level it seems like less a big deal.

>>92281852
Yeah, but when and how would it ever come up again?

well Destiny is supposedly going to show up in Justice League of America so maybe then

>>92281870
Actually the last issue of Hellblazer mentioned something about God and angels pulling a fast one on people. I thought it was vague and could have meant anything but it lines up with what that guy posted. Then again current Hellblazer is also stupid, example the writer confused The Rot, the realm at odds with Swamp Thing, with Rotworld, the name of an event.

>>92281890
I was talking specifically about God being dead and replaced when I asked if it would ever come up again because it's stupid and I'm going to ignore it.
Destiny, being a trans-temporal omniscient being, is probably aware of the Flashpoint changes. My money suggests he's the only member of the Endless that has NOT been changed by Flashpoint.

>>92281941
>God being dead and replaced
Honestly, before it was just God being gone and replaced. Storywise it isn't going to make much difference. Unless whatever killed God shows up or is floating around out there.

How did the comic say God died exactly anon that read it?

>>92281613
he is an aspect/expression of darkseid, the greater idea/entity of darkseid.

Unless you are refering to something im forgetting.

>>92281681
>All universes were affected by Flashpoint, it was a multiversal event.

No that isnt true. At most the local 52 earths were effect, but probably not. Soviet Earth wasnt effected at all. In fact main Earth is already being un-infected. Earth One wasnt effected either.
Stop making stuff up, you look dumb.

>>92281681
>which all take place in the local multiverse
Nightwing and Superman have both referenced earths outside of the local 52.

>>92281719
yes kind of. Not this specific version of Sandman but his sucessor. Just read them, its not worth explaining man. If you really want to know find out yourself.

>>92282236
Name me a single instance of that which can't be explained away by new earths being born into the multiverse and replacing boring worlds (like that one assassin earth where everybody anybody cares about is already dead) or by it being one of the unknown worlds.

>>92282229
>added a Flash
>not affected

>>92282299
Occams razor. Now it's your turn to prove those references are to newly created universes in the local 52 that just coincidentally happen to be identical to other universes out of it and not references to the original universes themselves.

>>92282302
I dont think it did add a flash. Flash came from Nazi world.

>>92282514
hypercrisis means my personal opinion > your opinion because my experience is the only one that matters (to me)

does anyone know where else Bug appeared?

>>92283207
Outside of his introductory issue just the Cosmic Odyssey mini and a few DCAU episodes

>>92278072
It's not just compressed there's really no breathing room.

>>92283497
Cool.

>>92283507
that's your own fault for reading as fast as you can

The continuity wank in this thread almost ruins the comic.

>>92284098
I agree.
The amount of autistic overthinking is pretty weird.

>>92283507
Well, it's fast paced. I don't see a problem. It's also kind of the point, if you look at the story: he's being chased.

>>92285222
Faced paced until you get to a page of exposition about metal.

>>92254907
What are the Batman scenes from? Sorry, complete newfag to Bug.

>>92254907
Is this
>He is killed saving Batman's life and preventing the destruction of Earth from the embodiment of the Anti-Life Equation in the limited series Cosmic Odyssey.

?

Great first issue, so many beautifully rendered characters, irreverent, loaded dialogue and interesting themes

>>92254968
The Allred's have a groovy sorta rock and roll Americana aesthetic and tone.

>>92285235
I guess it just clicks my sense of humour and doesn't annoy me the least. It reminds me of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

>>92255028
Did the Allred family set this up so they could draw and paint a camel cow?
This is hilarious.

Is there a Fourth World reading list?

Or a Cliff Notes list, meaning, it seems like there's a lot of stuff, can one read highlights (selective issues and tuns-not in totality) and still get the big picture?

Thanks

>>92255056
>vile things I think I love you
y-you too

>>92284122
Is this your very first time in a capethread? Did you ever even interact with a big 2 fan before?

>>92285369
Cosmic Odyssey

>>92286095
Pretty much.

>>92285742
For kirbys original fourth world, you could skip most of supermans pal jimmy, and forever people (read up to about issue 6 of forever) but all issues of new gods is a must (and my personal favourite of the fourth world) and mister miracle issue 1-16 (or 10) & #17. But yeah new gods is an absolute must and mister miracle.

>>92285742
1)New Gods/Forever People/Mister Miracle/Jimmy Olsen by Jack Kirby

2) Orion by Simonson

3) Seven Soldiers Mr. Miracle, Final Crisis and Multiversity Guidebook by Morrison.

>>92286164
>anything after Kirby

Why do that to yourself?

Lucifer 2015 is such a continuity clusterfuck of wrong details that it should be ignored, but people like >>92281852 will probably bring it up.
Fuck, even Morpheus is apparently still Lord of Dreams in it.

>>92290334
That sounds dumb, and I'm ignoring it.

>>92290107
Cool.
