...you provide your own answers. You won't be graded. Except maybe in heaven.
1) We were assured again and again that Final Crisis wouldn't be crossing over into any ongoing series.
So what, exactly, do you call all those books with the "Dark Side Club" banner at the top, featuring pointless appearances by the evil New New Gods?
2) How stupid, exactly, are all the inhabitants of the DC Universe, when characters named Dark Side and Granny Goodness show up, and they don't have an inkling that something is up?
3) Issue #1 of the Fantastic Four was set in Central City. Yes, Central City.
Did the Flash drive them out, or did the FF decide that they were movin' on up to the big city?
4) If you're a super-powered villain, why the hell are you robbing banks in cities with heroes?? Why not knock off a bank in Kalamazoo, or Hoboken, or Springfield??
5) Spoiler if you haven't seen Hulk yet--At the end of the movie, Tony Stark tells General Ross that "the super soldier program was put on ice for a reason." "ON ICE." Get it?!?!? GET IT?!?!
Given that Stark has the shield in his lab...hmmm...
6) OK, spoilers done. What is the likelihood that the Thor movie is going to come over fire for promoting paganism?
7) Scene we need to see filmed: General Ross and J. Jonah Jameson getting massively drunk in a bar and arguing over who's got the worse menace...OK, that's not a question. But still...
8) Whatever happened to Lobo? "The Main Man" just sorta dropped off the face of the DC Universe. Don't get me wrong, I HATED Lobo, so I'm glad, but for a while the guy was as hot as Wolverine. Wha happened?
9) Since the DC Universe has all of the "real" American cities in addition to all their fictional ones, does that mean they have really, really big sports leagues?
10) Why don't people talk more about Jonathan Hickman's books??

They have bigger sports leagues, but not every city plays every sport.
ReplyDeleteI've got the dirt thanks to Mayfair Games' Atlas of the DC Universe.
What I really wonder is how many people there ARE in DC's USA.
A lot more people then are in our USA...at least according to Kurt Busiek in JLA/Avengers. When the JLAers end up in Marvel's universe, Superman uses his telescopic vision, and notes all of the missing cities, and flies into a rampage about how the Avengers' universe has so many millon fewer people, which must mean the Avengers have done a terrible job of running their home, etc.
ReplyDeleteIssue #1 of the Fantastic Four was set in Central City. Yes, Central City.
ReplyDeleteWasn't the Marvel Central City in California? I seem to remember George Olshevsky's index mentioning that.

Because Springfield is where the Cobra organization hides out. No villain wants to run afoul of Cobra. Destro will get medieval on their ass.

I plan on starting a pool as to when Fox News runs its first piece on the Thor movie. You know they'll be the first to hammer that point (pun possibly intended).
Whatever happened to Lobo?
Good question. He just sort of disappeared after his appearance in 52.
