The Project is investigating,
Forever People stranded in time,
Orion heads closer to the finish line,
And Mister Miracle is about to face a fury.
This is-

I remain amused by the use of Phantom Stranger.
>>92978266
One the most bizarre crossovers. Pretty good fan movie.
So we all agree that Lashina is the best Fury, right?
>>92978317
Definitely.

>>92978122

>Dubbilex learns how to pick up women
Part 33:
wherein when the days of the FIRST WAR!
This is issue is just...beyond fantastic.
Also, go Balder, woot!
Ancestor to all New Genesis!
I find it hard to believe that Heggra was ever a sweet pixie.
Also, damn Desaad is Darkseid's right hand and now also a long standing friend?
Shit, that really gets downplayed in other takes.
Izaya...a warrior...a conqueror!
The First War, The Great Clash, left almost nothing in its wake!
Jesus, the raw energy in this sequence
If ever New Gods was a mythology, it is within these pages.
And thus the Pact is complete
And history has found a place for Izaya, the Highfather.
Part 34:
wherein Kanto!
>>92979747
Poor Desaad gets no respect.
>>92980155
He really doesn't, apparently.
>>92979898
We Old Testament now.
Young Scott Free could have been a series all its own.
Part 35:
wherein they go on a long trip!
>>92980137
Oberon is underrated.

Goodness is somehow more scary when she's actually dressed like a granny.
Part 36:

>>92980815
For a second I thought this was going to turn into a weird version of The House That Jack Built.
>>92980897
>first instinct is to shoot the black guy
Now I'm going to cheat the order a bit and do the last Kirby Jimmy Olsen issue next, so we start off clean with New Gods tomorrow.
Part 37:
wherein goodbye Newsboys!
>>92981255
Volcanum is such a dapper supervillain.
>>92981504
Yup, and he was pretty alright in Kesel's Superboy
And that's it for Jimmy and the Boys!
The remaining loose ends were tied up by other writers in #152...it's not really all that interesting but if you want to check it out - not that bad.
See you tomorrow for Thread #4
And the man they call TURPIN!
>>92981599
