Flygirl looks great, and for some reason I have an intense, homoerotic memory of the Jaguar.<BR/><BR/>And I enjoyed Milestone quite a lot, and would love to see all the characters return.<BR/><BR/>But in the DCU? On New Earth? That place is already suffering from such massive superhero overcrowding that it begins to look like issues of Normalman. Superheroes date superheroes, marry superheroes, are the children and grandchildren of superheroes, mistake superheroes for other superheroes, and can't swing a cat without hitting a superhero. Nobody has room to breathes, and they particularly don't have room to develop. Every issue is massive overload guest-star city. And there's no coherence to the shared universe at all.<BR/><BR/>I'm particularly disappointed, from a storyline point of view, to imagine the whole Milestone universe shoved into a corner of the DCU. One of the points of Milestone was to create an entire fictional setting that had its own tone, its own history, its own iconic (you'll excuse the expression) characters. The character Icon is, basically, Superman seen through the unique Milestone lens. He and Superman do not belong in the same universe. (Any more than Superman and Captain Marvel ever had.)<BR/><BR/>Put them in a parallel universe? Sure. Have them, very rarely, cross the dimensional barriers and interact? Oh, if you MUST. But shmush them all into the same universe, along with the Fawcett characters, the Charleton characters, Earth-1 and Earth-2? That's just more of a mess than we already have.<BR/><BR/>I grew up on The Lord of the Rings and Star Trek. I loved them both. But I never wanted to read a story by JRRT in which Kirk, Spock, and McCoy beam down to help Sam's daughter fight the son of Sauron. That's not Middle-Earth; that's fanfic.<BR/><BR/>Nothing the matter with fanfic, of course, but there should be something more essential on which it is based. All comics today are becoming nostalgia-driven, post-modern fanfic. Really, it's all too easy - just keep throwing characters at the wall and see what sticks. Result: big messy wall. And nobody's minding the store.<BR/><BR/>Mixed metaphor, I know. But mixin's all the rage these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-78237627108388973242008-07-29T00:34:00.000-05:002008-07-29T00:34:00.000-05:00I'm way, way more excited than I should be my the ...I'm way, way more excited than I should be my the return of the triangles. <BR/><BR/> It takes me back to my days looking through the spinner rack at the local mini-mart, looking for the most recent issue of MOS.<BR/><BR/><BR/> I was DEVASTATED the day it turned out the cyborg superman was the villain. <BR/><BR/> DEVASTATED!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279131827560250011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-112479365689598532008-07-28T23:44:00.000-05:002008-07-28T23:44:00.000-05:00I am pleased that someone recognizes my importance...I am pleased that someone recognizes my importance to the DC Universe.

"<BR/><BR/>Huh. I just got done re-reading the 1987-1989 Supertitles, ending just about where that era began, and the stories stand up better than I expected them to. Much better.<BR/> Okay, there WERE some truly awful wince-making Wolfman moments here and there, but overall it was a good era for Superman books.<BR/> But there was this one comic ... does anybody remember The Adventures of Superman #427, April 1987, by Marv Wolfman and Jerry Ordway. Superman spent half the issue talking to himself out loud, and even THAT isn't the most irritating thing about this comic.
