Yeah.

Why does evil Chief have to be a thing?

Was it the usual he was too boring so we did this to make him interesting spiel?

the jesus comic is a vertigo comic you guys, and mark russel's flintstones had a pretty good take on religion in that yeah the people in charge of it might be using it to take advantage, but if it actually does help the people who believe in it feel better is it really that bad?

also to answer old question about the current state of the flash family, bar-tor was not related to barry at all went back to his own atheist hell of a time period, wally the first is dead and is probably the mass murderer at sanctuary, wally the 2nd aka wallace is angsting because "hey I didn't even exist till barry fucked up the timeline" and is on damian's teen titans again, but he's doing pretty good besides that.

[up][up]Even that had the issues when they claimed she was more evil than Slade. You know, the guy who came up with the plan to kill the Titans and who was sleeping with her when she was a teenager.

Thats cause Wolfman fully high on his own power from marrying Donna to himself

decided that Slade was a honorable warrior and a worthy ally of the titans! therefore Terra was that perfect Jezebel who manipulated him!... honestly Wolfman had two author avatars in his titans series both older men the Titans respected way too much

Say what you want about Priest and his Slade fanboy tendencies, He never makes any excuses that you have to be a true blue bastard to be the world's deadliest assassin.

I recall how Slade fans complained about how he'd become too evil post Identity Crisis, particularly after he destroyed Bludhaven and was revealed to have brainwashed Terra. Apparently statutory rape was okay (so long as the girl was evil), but outright mind control and destruction of an entire city was too far.

was revealed to have brainwashed Terra.

Uh-huh. Don't get me wrong, I get why they did that. But hell if it doesn't take away Terra's agency.

Again giving Priest credit, He seems o find away to make Terra being evil make sense without her being inhumanly/cartoonishly evil

Which is what Wolfman was going for

Priest is a good writer.

His Deathstroke run has been pretty baller.

[up]

Bendis provided the details during his spotlight panel at New York Comic Con on Saturday, indicating he called Milestone Entertainment to inquire if he could use Static Shock while it prepped its relaunch with the character as part of DC's upcoming Milestone reboot. However, his request was declined.

Come on now.

[up][up]Yeah something definitely off if even Bendis can't use a Milestone character if he wants to.

The comic. I had someone helpfully pinpoint which of the 500 incarnations of the team to try out, which was the 90s Legionnaire series that's getting collections and has tangential ties to Impulse, the best comic of the 90s.

[up]Ah.

For me the best Legion run is Paul Levitz' tenure in the 80's. Probably one of the best comic runs of the 80's period.

I tried to get into it, but it just didn't work for me. Not that it wasn't interesting, but thanks to the sudden 'No Superboy' mandate, they had to interrupt the story repeatedly to account for cleaning up continuity errors and plot holes. And it just made it hard to stick with.

Anyone find it odd how Wally has never been paired with Linda (or any of his canon love interests for that matter) in adaptations?

In JLU he had a ship tease with Fire.

In Teen Titans he was paired with Jinx.

In Young Justice he's paired with Artemis.
