DC vs. WS: Dreamwar

Nuul, they already stated that they didn't want some of the most obvious matchups to happen, because it would be too predictable. I have no problem with MNer not taking on Batman. MNer is >> Bats in a straight-up fight, so they either write it correctly and he wins or he jobs and WS fans are upset. I'd much rather see him pwn someone that everyone assumes is out of his league.

And there wasn't really anything wrong with Authority's dialogue...hell, they were only around for a few pages. Kinda early to start the hate-wagon, dontcha think? If anything, DC seems like the aggressors to me, so the normal "a-hole" idiom that the Authority fills in a bad writer's hands hasn't happened yet.

How are they going to deal with so many teams? So far I think there are JLA, Teen Titans, Storm Watch, Authority and Wildcats.

You missed part of the JSA, Legion of Superheros, Serenity, and Gen13.

😉

...lots of teams, and I can sympathize with anyone who doesn't read WS. A collective "wtf" probably went up from a lot of DC fans in issue 1.

Of all the match-ups... the Legion versus Stormwatch? That seems a little one-sided.

And the Authority were portrayed exactly how they were supposed to be: Awesomely.

Hehe. Too early to tell with them. But I have no complaints thus far.

Also, who is it one-sided towards?

Well, if it's a recent version of the team, I'd be very worried if I was Jackson King. But the "upside-down spaceship clubhouse" appearing kinda implies it's Legion classic, so maybe it won't be as one sided of a fight as it looked like.

I loved how polite Alan Scott was.

Heh. It's hard not to like Alan, imo. He's so heroic and soft-spoken without being a damn boyscout like, for example, pr's man-crushes.

And I guess you're right. Apparently this is on WS's earth though, and Stormwatch is like a toned down version of SHIELD. So Legion is probably > them in total power, but Stormwatch has plenty of resources to pull from. Winter's also underrated imo, but I'll digress before going into fan mode.

I've read classic Stormwatch... Winter's absorbing abilities make him A LOT stronger than you'd expect from just some crazy Russian character....

It's just tough as a major early Ellis work fanboy and a major Legion fanboy to know what to expect in that battle. I mean, Justice League versus the Authority you know is going to be just over the top and ridiculous... Gen 13 versus the Titans is the same. But Stormwatch and the Legion? I have nooooooo idea what to expect. I mean, this looks like it's set in the most recent day Wildstorm universe, so it's post-Bendix Stormwatch... so I don't have a clue what to expect from them. The other match ups I have some ideas as to whats going to happen (especially because Giffen happens to write Midnighter and is a big fan of the Authority)... but I could not be more excited to see all of those insane legionnaires go up against the fabulous 90ed-out Stormwatch members.

Plus, it's pretty much impossible to dislike Alan Scott. And as a major fan of Simone's "Welcome to Tranquility" I'm real excited to see what Giffen is going to make of the senior JSA members and all of those wonderful nostalgic Tranquility citizens.

God, this is a great time to be a Wildstorm fanboy. The only way this could be better would be if Tao was up against Luthor or something.

Guy, you're going to have to cut back on the issue posting. The fact that it wasn't the entire issue is a moot point. If it's a feat for a respect thread purposes, that's one thing. But entirely another just to share it with anyone who wants to read it.

Thanks.

Agreed. It's a good time to be a WS fan. Though it's not certain Authority will be facing the Justice League...though I realize that's what everyone suspects.

does this crossover effect personalities? titans went full out offensive right off the bat and for some reasons superman is molesting WS children...

lol

Digi do you think Apollo is going to square off against Supes maybe?

Obviously there's an explanation behind it. We just don't know it yet. Mind control, misunderstanding of facts, thinking this world isn't real, Superman is actually a child molester....all legitimate possibilities.

In an interview before DW, one of the writers said it followed the classic "fight amongst each other then team up" format, but they wanted to make the initial conflict seem more legitimate, rather than just "Crap! Another team! Let's attack each other before sorting things out rationally!"

Hope so. It would certainly help his cred to hang with the big guy for a while, even though he'd obviously have to lose eventually. Personally, if I were writing it I'd just have Doctor make him look silly or something (Superman with double-D's anyone?? 😂 ).

That would be nice to see.

The Doctor (Habib) found a way to release his spirit from the sun, and transferred it into a new body that he created for him based on his DNA records with Stormwatch.

It happened in a "Stormwatch: Post Human Division" comic, so if you just follow Authority some people are unaware of it.

The entire feat will be posted when I update the Authority's respect thread in a couple weeks.

So not much happened, but I was really just giggling like girl as I read through the first issue. No clue how they'll wrap up so many teams and locations in six issues, but meh. At least the Authority got off to a decent start, and Flash only lost Majestic chasing him by phasing through the floor. A decent showing for WS.

I like that there's two artists though. I think one is doing DC characters and the other is doing WS. So far I haven't seen anything objectionable.

Sorry who phased through the wall ?
