Comic Book Questions

Lantern continuity wasn't affected by the events of Flashpoint, so if you kept up with GL books prior to the reboot you should be able to hop into the DCnU books and still have your bearings. The arcs themselves are fairly self-contained, and don't require any additional reading for things to make sense.

Just to warn you, though: Rise of the Third Army and Wrath of the First Lantern are terrible for the most part.

Guy Gardner begs to differ.

Better? uhuh

I've been looking through the Infinity event, and maybe someone can help me with this, but I need to find a scene showing the Builder's ships size relative to something that can be measured, to get an idea of how big they are. Specifically the ships that look like collections of connected cylinders.

Can anyone help with this?

I came across this and loved it. One of the tat guys I asked about it said it would incredibly increase the quality of the finished product if I could find the original source of the image. Assuming its a comic. 😬

Anyone have any knowledge of the origin of this artwork? If by chance it is an actual comic panel and not just an individual's personalized stencil.

What do I need to read if I want to start reading "Forever Evil ."

^ Justice League #23-24, JLA #8, and Forever Evil #1-3.

^ Also all of Trinity War (which isn't that long)

JLA #6-7
JL Dark #22-23
JL #22
Trinity of Sin - Pandora #1-3
Trinity of Sin - Phantom Stranger #10-11

Probably missing a couple

You don't really need to read all of TW to understand Forever Evil. Justice League #23 explained everything we needed to know about Pandora's Box and its relationship to earth 3/the CSA. It may as well have been called "Forever Evil #0".

I have a couple questions about Ghost Rider.

1. How powerful is he when the spirit of vengeance has complete control? The spirit is the one that was supplied to him by heaven and the one that rode away in wwh. Is he Thor level or more and what types of abilities does he have.

2. Does he still have the weakness to holy weapons that normal Ghost Rider has?

Question:

Surfer was depowered early on in his career by the military with prep, who created a bomb that permanently drained his power cosmic.

Has that power ever been restored? And when?

Well, seeing how Galactus recharged him with power at least once that I recall of(the Aegis/Tenebrous fight iirc) through the comics, I'd say the power is indeed restored.

1 - From what issue is this picture:

2 - There is a comic where they show why Martin Manhunter quited the JL (or any issue about the time he was in JL) ?

Can anyone tell me where it was stated that Kurse(not Algrim) is vulnerable to iron? Can anyone tell me if this weakness has ever been exploited on panel?

^ in Power Pack #18, collapsed a building on him which was made of iron (and they intended to exploit the iron weakness):

However, in Mighty thor #363 (which would be on the same day when the events of power pack #18 happened) Kurse managed to free himself just fine.

I haven't read everything on Kurse (though im pretty sure i read most of his appearances) and i can't recall an instance where his weakness was exploited or even stated.

Im pretty sure that it didn't get restored. There are a few references to his depowerment, like in FF #74, where he mentions that he possesses only a fraction of the power he had before:

Or in his solo series, SS v1 #2, which has a clear, albeit indirect reference to his depowerment as well:

this same solo had also contradictory statements such as his "matchless" power cosmic and the like. So while it has been referenced a few times (which were only shortly after he got drained) a little later this would be completely forgotten and ignored and the power would never be returned to him. If you want further confirmation then i can also show you a 1993 handbook which outright says that his power got drained and then doesn't mention anything about him getting it back.

Though like TheGodKiller said, Galactus recharging him should get all his power back.

Because of a fight, shown in JL #8:

Yea, i read that. But i was looking for some deeper explanition. I guess DC dont explained this yet.

I could've sworn he got his power restored. I remember him travelling to the Microverse, and doing something to recharge, but maybe my memory is wrong. If this is the case, then it would mean that Surfer was depowered for most of his career, up until Annihilation.

^ I think you might wanna recheck that. Because no such thing happened in his travel to the microverse, if anything, the SS v1 #2 scan which i posted should confirm this considering it came out after the storyline in which SS went to the microverse.(FF #74-76).

It has been explained. It was due to this fight that he left (Justice League of America #1):

I bring this up because Kurse's alleged 'iron weakness' gets mentioned in the majority of threads he's involved in, despite this 'weakness' never being overtly exploited on panel. Granted, I may have missed an instance where iron was used to stop Kurse, but... I don't think I did.

Myth busted?
