I wonder how the comic fight debates before internet forum wentdo they compare feats, how do they even convince each other without posting scans.
In other words, scans didn’t change much.
Interesting
Newsarama: Joshua, let's jump right into it, tell us a bit about your part in DC's Infinite Frontier #0?
With the spine story - I'm actually writing four chapters of the Infinite Frontier special. The main story, the spine story, is Wonder Woman and Spectre. It takes place immediately after Dark Nights: Death Metal #7. So, it's what happens to Wonder Woman after that scene. She's on her way to ascend as she gets stopped by the Quintessence and they offer her a position to be with them. But if you remember at the end of issue seven, she was warned by the presence of the hand and the other side of the Source Wall. She was warned that because of all the things they were going to do at the end of Death Metal to restart the multiverse and make it infinite, there was going to be some kind of cost.Before she agrees to keep ascending, she's like 'I have to know what that cost is. I have to know what is out there that was the cost.' So, the Spectre offers to take her on a journey to try and find what that cost is, and that's what takes us across the DCU and all these different chapters that were done by different creators, we go through the other chapters that I wrote.
Nrama: Did Death Metal take place on an 'Elseworld' that is mentioned as the center of the universe? Is that something you'll be exploring?
Williamson: If you go and look at that scene at the coda in Death Metal, they talk about there being two. It's not just the Elseworld, there's another world as well. There's an opposite.Advertisement
There are two poles. Elseworld represents one thing, they say the 'Alpha World,' and there's another world. We start to talk more about what that other world is in the zero. They start figuring out what it is.
Discussing the idea of these two new places the Elseworld and this other one. Then what they're going to do about it and what they need to do with the DCU next with those two places. And we kind of get to go on the journey with them, but I don't want to give away all the answers just right out the gate. Just like here's what's coming. Here's what's going on. I want the reader to go on the journey with those characters as they start to explore this infinite frontier, this infinite multi-verse and explore what the Elseworld is and what this other world is.
Nrama: Death Metal #7 also introduces a new Authority-esque team called Totality. Do they have a role in Infinite Frontier? Will they have a role in your upcoming Damian book with the inclusion of Talia?
Williamson: Yes, so in the zero issue, we do go to the Totality base, but we don't see that team in that issue, but there'll be other stuff with that team down the line.Talia appears in Robin, as she appears in the backups; she does talk about her new role. Then Talia will start playing a bigger role.
It's interesting with a lot of stuff we're talking about, this zero issue is really about setting up all this stuff. It will play up even more later. So, Talia, she's in the Robin stuff and she talks a bit about the Totality and her role in the Robin backups in Batman and Detective Comics. She's in that. Then she will also be in another book later on. She'll be in two different books later on in the year, summer and the fall.
Then we'll start to explore some of this stuff and her role because you have to imagine that all of these characters are now aware, the Totality in particular, are aware of a lot of secrets. They're aware of a lot of things that are going on in the multiverse. Not everybody knows what happened. I think everybody knows what happened in Death Metal, but the idea that the multiverse is growing and it's changing, not everybody knows that. That room of people, their job is to make sure that if anything crazy is going to come with the multiverse, they're the frontline defense. They're the ones that are supposed to analyze what's happening and research it.
How will the characters respond to that? Some of them are going to respond to it in different ways. Talia, in particular, she's going to respond to it in a different way than some other characters. She's going to start building something else - that gets really into spoiler stuff for Robin and other books, but that's what's happening with her. I think she's a great character and I really want to do more with her and give her a bigger role in the DCU. And that's part of what's coming.

I think Iron Fist's downslide startred with the Netflix show. Things were looking up with Immortal Iron Fist, then the SJW controversy started over casting an asian, and that was pretty much it for him. Marvel treated him as irrelevant ever since.
Don't blame SJW for an unappealing character
comic fans really freak out about minorities appear on screen which is hilarious. who gives a shit it's fukin hollywood. ironically these are the same weaboos who also love animes that created by asians.
every comic movie or tv show have like two or three minorities and everybody losing their shit, they cast the most stereotypical shit its funny. you either get that one token tough black guy, and that quiet kung fu asian guy or that sassy hispanic tech guy.
they are shit movies with or without people of color, you guys are taking fast food culture way too serious

The point is more about shitting on source material on order to push a political agenda.
look american comics will always be white centered culture
just like anime will always be asians centered
however, it's all fantasy, it's not real, so who cares
does a fictional character show up on screen Caucasian or not really matter? it really doesn't impact your life in any way

Stilt is irrelevant. All that matters is good stories.
