Indeed. What issues even casually MENTIONED the war?
Green Lantern. Green Lantern Corps. A passing mention in Supergirl, and a single blue beetle tie in, no?
I could see someone calling Sinestro Corps War a Lantern 'event,' considering that it tied the continuities of both Lantern books together for several issues. I could not see them calling it a 'DC Event.'
Just like Superman and Action Comics tied together for Up, Up, and Away wasn't a DC event, though I could see someone calling it a 'Superman event.'
In other words, not an event at all. 😬.
Up, Up and Away wasn't an event because it didn't draw the collective heroes of DC together to face it. That was an arc.
I consider SC an event, in the sense that it drew the collective attention and presence of DC Earth.
It might not have been an event in the sense of it headlines every book, but it brought all the heroes together.
Just because it didn't have 50 shitty tie ins that the editors lied about in relevance, doesn't make it any less of an event.
Leastwise, not to me.
Originally posted by UniOmniactually Up Up and Away did have other heroes in it. They came in to stop Luthor. So I guess thats an event too then. and the SC had the heroes in appearance. They barely did anything at all. The Green Lanterns did all the work.

The big, irritating difference is DC is using all these Crisis events to f*ck with their history & timelines - AGAIN. Marvel may be forced into this someday, but at least their events are just charting for the present, not re-setting the past.
Meanwhile, Secret Invasion is set to invalidate a ton of Marvel history. When is the last time we saw the real Black Bolt?

Nah...they'll just boost another characters powers and make them have a nervous breakdown. Then they'll slowly retcon the whole event over the next 10 years.
Besides...according to this there's some reality warper inside/outside of 616 Earth controlling/compressing time in the 616 Dimension.

One day StanLee will regain control and decide that the last 20 years of continuity were all inside a snowglobe that FranklinRichards was playing with.

Now there's a grisly and scary prospect. How many supervillains and heroes have died in the last 10 years of DC comics? Assuming IC didn't retcon things like the Rann-Thanagar war, etc.
Hell, even Apokolips and New Genesis...nm. DOTNG is going to remove those 2 from the equation. But what about Oa or Daxam? There are countless planets with genocide and millennia worth of dead bodies.
How the hell do you stop a dead man's hand? And CAN you defeat a lantern corp, that adds to it's numbers everytime they kill someone? 🤨
Couldn't find a proper thread for it.
Something I found in a JLI book.
This guy owns the XXX rated cinema their at. Hes a complete joke and now HES the main villain??

Just testing their multiloader as well.
*raises a hand to counter the point, but thinks better of it* I can't really argue against that. Black Hand was a shitty C or D lister for a long time. Back in Gl vol. 2 issue.......5 (IIRC) after Rebirth, he came back. Spectre nuked his hand, but some weird space gremlins (that spoke German for some reason........) boosted his powers. He started draining life from people and looking like a zombie, which incidently, restored his hand. Hal buried him, but.....there was some commentary, that in retrospect, foreshadows Blackest Night. shock
so obviously this one has been in the works awhile.

When is the last time we saw the real Black Bolt?
I have a feeling that in terms of retconing, One More Day will take away a lot more than Secret Invasion. Secret invasion actually looks like a good and fun story ✅
Okay, I admit, I'm confuse here....I thought BN and FC would be very different separate events. But looking at the solicitations for Oct.
