I got him started on Countdown because it seems that DS's story won't end in DotNG's #7, but I started him on something like Countdown #12. He has NO idea what's going on, despite my attempts to help...it's kinda funny.
Poor guy...

Countdown is hard for me to follow at times, and I've read all the issues. 😂

Yeah, it's a little batty even for the biggest DC fan.

its such a shame to have DS come out in his pure no avatar form only to have his ass handed to him in the second to last issue most likley...and the very last issue dealing with them monologin how thier lives have changed forever😄

issue #26 was Morrison's last Animal Man comic.

Sadly, only the next six issues (the ones by Milligan) were any good at all. Just one of those examples of a serious going bad as each writer tried to "top" the run of the previous one by getting more and more extreme. Which was disappointing because a lot of the writers who were on the title were really enjoyable otherwise (Jamie Delano wrote a run, and I think Rick Veitch did too?).
I think Hellblazer is the only Vertigo title that didn't go down hill (except for parts of Swamp Thing) when a new creative team took over.

I never said Morrison wouldnt do Thanos justice. Its funny because I think you are liking what Starlins doing with Darkseid now dont you? You talked all kinds of trash about him before you even read one issue of the death of the new gods. I really dont get into writers but with how arrogant he sounds and how is is literally turning the new gods into something they havent been in over 40 years it sounds kinda messed up. I havent read it yet so maybe it will be good. I downloaded seven soldiers and thought it was like an acid trip.

IG beats anything Morrison wrote. But then again its all personal opinion so dont try to turn this into which writer is better.

Well, I mean, I could use the principles of literary criticism and artistic aesthetics to literally prove to you which comic is objectively better.

But you're right, to each his own.

Darkseid
- big baddie of Final Crisis.
- fights Superman two issues before Final Crisis
- Will not be getting his ass kicked immediately before Final Crisis.

why? you think they're gonna save the ass kicking for the last ish? oh no dude, just you wait and see. its the same deal with all the event comics. the load always gets blown the second to last ish...and the very last is reserved for the heroes picking up the pieces of thier lives. this is the part where the soul searching road trips come in, and they encounter super minor villains along the way as fillers..if it was an Xmen comic its where wolverine would be packing his satchel on his hog and jubilee longingly staring at him out a window wishing he wouldnt leave....or where gambit would question whether or not he wanted to commit to being hero or villain or keep on stradling the fence, or where one of the weak willed ones like iceman/spiderman/human torch/ is racked with guilt over somebody they couldnt save, and wonders if they have what it takes to be a hero and goes off to find themselves....thats what last issues are for....and im guessing that FC will pan out the same way

I'm saying that Darkseid isn't getting his ass kicked in Countdown period.

Manjaro: you're forgetting the big tag line for FC. "Final Crisis is about a day that evil wins in the DC universe."

well not unless DC is planning to string a whole bunch of event comi......ok im not even gonna finsh that sentence. well then it must be the the year long set up for next summers big thing how the heroes take back the universe then

Yeah for dc to have Darkseid get his ass kicked before hes the big baddie in final crisis would make no sense. Darkseid should win this handily.

Or the avatar could be defeated, and then the real Darkseid appears and beats Superman

That would actually be pretty cool. To watch Superman shit all over the Avatar and then get annihilated by the real deal.

Darkseid will absorb the power of the New Gods from Jimmy and then fight Superman to a standstill.

Doubtful.

I'll put a smiley next time.

I don't think that the writers are that stupid, despite Superman's 'I must prevail against all odds' aura.

And it's made pretty clear that Darkseid will win against Superman by Morrison.

For Superman to win in this scenario as they are tauting Ds as the big villain is just absurd. It would take away all his credit....right before his moment in the spotlight.

Im glad Ds will finally avenge his loss to Superman.

I can't think of a time Morrison ever wrote Darkseid on a level where Superman could beat him.

He actually gets the new gods, he's not gonna make DS job to Supes.

It would be funny as hell to see Avatar DS get shitkicked, then the real Darkseid walks in and pimp-slaps Superman. 😂

Just because other writers dont go along with your viewpoint it doesnt mean the dont get them. It means they have a different viewpoint than yourself.
