Dread Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 JG Jones is a golden god!!! So I guess we know what Countdown is counting down to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I am this close to being done with DC. By releasing this teaser image 10 months beforehand, it makes me think that Countdown is nothing but one long, expensive prologue which will have little resolved by the end.

Dread Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Just makes me wish that Jones was on the CD covers. In my mind, I see a bit of a paring down by looking at what might constitute a future rendition of JLA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mull Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Kind of poster which makes me go whatever, so is one of the heroes on the poster going to die before the end of Countdown/ during Final Crisis, or is it just saying they are more than heroes as they are now legends??

Missy Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 If we're to assume the poster is a clue, then it should be mentioned that lightning is ripping through Green Lantern, Hawkman and (partially) Wonder Woman. Killing Hawkman wouldn't mean much and Hal just returned, thus leaving Wonder Woman. Killing her would be momentous. Another clue might be in the way Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are all standing. They look very cocky, villainous almost. Could this be the Crime Syndicate? I know DC won't pull this, but I would love it if it turned out The Trinity has been (or has been controlled by) Ultraman, Owlman and Superwoman since Wonder Woman killed Maxwell Lord.

Mull Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Infact Batman does look really cocky doesnt he, Sup's looks older as well. Also the lightning looks like its coming from Hawkman rather than it coming behind him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Oh! It's the "How dare you kill my twenty-third favorite superhero" syndrome (a.k.a. the "I didn't know he was still alive until you killed him" syndrome). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 You mean to tell me there are Hawkman fans out there? If we're talking DCAU Justice League Unlimited Hawkman, sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-T Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 You mean to tell me there are Hawkman fans out there? Well, we've got at least one Hawkman fan on this board, ever since Identity Crisis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lightning is behind everyone. You can see the bolt above GL, but it blends with the white in the storm or what ever it is. The lightning goes behind Hawkman along his wings and is hidden by the text and also blends into the storm. All of the bolts are going to the same spot at the top of the vortex.

Missy Posted July 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Sorry, my wording was poor; I shouldn't have said it was "ripping through" them. What I should have said was that it's crossing their bodies, implying danger / death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it now, the next DC editorial meeting to determine the next crisis: Editor 1: We need another crisis. Writer: But we've had three in the last few years. Editor 2: I agree. Writer: Thank you! Editor 2: Not with you. Writer: *sigh* Editor 2: Anything with "crisis" on the cover sells. Editor 1: Exactly! Writer: Fine! What's the "crisis" this time? Editor 1: Remember when Superboy Pr... er... the lone survivor of Earth-Prime punched reality? Writer: I don't like where this is going. Editor 1: Well, what if shards of reality got stuck in his skin? Editor 2: YES! And now, as he pulls the shards out, reality changes! Writer: Oh god... Editor 2: So the heroes have to stop Sup... the lone survivor of Earth-Prime from pulling out the remaining shards, or else they face the end of reality as we know it. Writer: Soooo... they have to take away his tweezers? Editors 1 & 2: BINGO! Editor 2: Since this is a criss, we have to kill a Flash Editor 1: Jay? Editor 2: Too easy. Editor 1: Wally? Editor 2: We just brought him back. Editor 1: Bart? Editors 1 & 2: HA HA HA HA HA! Editor 1: I know! Let's bring Barry back, then kill him an issue later! No one will see it coming! Editor 2: That's a green light! Writer: And what are we calling this crisis? Editor 1: Final Crisis II: One More Time Writer: *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot to mention the part about the writer signing over at Marvel where he is forced to write tie-ins for a crossover that pledges to change the Marvel U forever. Those tie-ins interrupt the flow of his fledgling book that was just getting its own steam and developing an audience until the crossover confused everybody. Fans drop the book in droves and the writer falls into an alcoholic binge until, he's hired as a DC editor! The cycle continues!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
