Comic Book Questions & Discussion

Speaking of making you sick, what is UP with Sam "Blackton Amerifalcon" Wilson's speech? Half the worlds population vanishes and reappears five years later, governments are doing an impossible job sorting it out, the Flag Smashers decide to bomb the crap out of things because reasons, and we're not supposed to call them terrorists for it? Give me a break! They sure aren't heroes. And they aren't helping.

And Sam's little speech amounted to little more then "Do better". Yeah, easy to say when its not your problem to solve.

Keep beating down people with Steve Roger's shield,.@$$hole, leave the complicated work to the professionals.

And another thing, what was even the point of Winter Soldier? Because he wasn't really needed at any point in the story, Sam did all the important stuff on his own. And his character arc wasn't really an arc, so much as a halo jump without a parachute.

Spoiler:
He felt guilty for something he had no real control over, and dealt with that guilt by reopening old wounds with an admission that was better left unsaid. All so HE can feel better about it.

I mean, what good does it do the grieving father to have a name for his sons killer? How is that helpful? Winter Soldier doesn't even exist, he is a robot in Bucky's brain. Even if Barnes paid for Winter Soldiers crime, it would be an innocent man who was used like a glorified drone paying that price.

Bucky Barnes is a selfish a@@hole for doing what he did.

The show should have been Falcon, period.

The shield catching still makes no sense to me.

I mean, how does he catch the shield on his forearms when the shield has two straps attached to for said forearm?

Never thought about that before, it is pretty puzzling. 😂

I’ve heard that knowing the truth is better than not knowing. So I do think the old man though pissed he is at Bucky, is a little happier in knowing the truth. No matter how painful.

Supergirl throws away an exploding sun and shields others from the sun exploding.

Has Sentry done anything he was ripped in twain by Knull?

Hey Scot. They tried using his corpse as a bomb

Specifically, his groin IIRC.

Hey Sin, Dark. That must have taken many hours for the writers to come up with such a mind bending twist as that.

The Thunderbolts' big plan is to use the groin of Sentry to blow Knull up lol:

Actually a fun little read, but doesn't really go anywhere.

Yea wasted storyline.

Watched Wall Street.

Heard Gordon Gekko was the bad guy, but all I see is a guy talking a lot of sense.

SUPERMAN AND THE AUTHORITY #1

Story by Grant Morrison

Art by Mikel Janin

Covers by Mikel Jani*n, Bryan Hitch, Jen Bartel.

Sometimes even Superman finds a task almost impossible. Sometimes even the Last Son of Krypton needs to enlist help. Some tasks require methods and heroes that don't scream "Justice League." So Clark Kent, the Metropolis Marvel, seeks out Manchester Black, the most dastardly of rogues, to form an all-new Authority tasked with taking care of some business on the sly. Not only will Black know the right candidates for the team, but if Superman can make him behave himself and act in service of the greater good, then he'll prove literally anyone can be a hero! They'll have to move quickly, however, as the Ultra-Humanite forms his own team to take out the Man of Steel. This new limited series helps launch an all-new Superman status quo, setting up story elements that reverberate across both Action Comics and Superman: Son of Kal-El in the months to come.

Huh. When did Superman have the Reed look?

Also, I can't place a lot of those characters. I see Apollo, Natasha Irons (with oversized hammer), Manchester Black....is that enchantress?

Black Girls matter

Bryan Hitch also seems to be using up his purple toner there.

Superman will go from Salt and Pepper to Salt and Sassy who don't need no man once he finds a dye capable of staining his hair.

Question . Which black adam are we dealing with now? The world War 3 bronze age or the one that where's the hoodie? Becaus3 I hate that one

There's something about Hitch's body proportions I can't stand to look at.

The limbs are too long, maybe?
