Welcome to......

Kill This Thread XL

The following rules were established by Kent Shakespeare at the start of the first 24-hour version, adapted from the original rules by EDE:

The rules:

1. The Basic Idea: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 24 hours, you win!

2. Posts that are not direct responses to one of the five preceding posts are ineligible to win. The topic can drift, but no complete non-sequitors. Posts that are responses to non-sequitors are also ineligible to win. Posts that are responses to responses to non-sequitors, and response nses to those posts, etc., become eligible, however.

3. In the event that this thread is locked, there shall be no winner unless a new thread is started for the contest. Furthermore, any post that results in the banning of the poster shall also be ineligible to win.

4. So, more precisely, one wins if one makes a post, and then no one makes another post that's eligible to win for 24 hours.

I think Peter David writes Quicksilver better than anyone else.

I came across what I think is his first x-factor issue a few weeks back, and it still holds up well.

X-Factor by Peter David might be the last of the classic long-form superhero runs totaling more than 100 issues.

And it's a shame that they don't. Everything by the Big Two these days is so rigidly planned out, it allows no room for spontaneity or wild tangents. For that, we need to read indie series. Somehow, though, it's just not the same.

Or maybe it's just that I'm old.

sigh

I mean, if I compare COIE to Dark Crisis… though zero hour also came earlier and wasn’t my cup of tea

Talking only about plotting and dialogue

Not just you guys. Writing by committee around poorly executed events has removed a lot of the creative spark from books. The last time I looked they were one note, interchangeable efforts where you could move the cast from one to the other, without it making much difference.

There's something wonderful about entering these worlds when you're younger. Perhaps kids still do that in picking up 1 of the 20 bat books that month. The ones that recapture some of it tend to have a nostalgic hint to them like Astro City or Black Hammer.

Yup, most of the cast are kinda just there. Full of big battles where everyone is just kinda in a big group scene…

Bendis' Legion just following that trend then?

Dialogue that looked added onto panels with endless group shots. Interchangeable characters getting part of a sentence in any of those panels. A jumble of action that goes almost nowhere and a plot point filling in as a cliffhanger at the end.

You could omit half the cast and nothing would change

I did just read the Dark Crisis: Dark Army tie in. Now THIS is a comic that’s worth it, each Character has their own personality, no interchangeable dialogue, references the original COIE and Infinite Crisis in a meaningful, easy to understand and on-point way unique to Kimiyo and to Power Girl. At the end, something tangible is accomplished and I can see how it fits into the bigger story. Also explains how Darkseid, Neron, Doomsday and others are fighting the heroes yet nobody has died yet (they’re not at full power)

A+

And even the cameos are meaningful

I'd fancy that on close to zero power, any of those villains could kill swathes of capes.

It’s a very handwave-y explanation indeed smile Darkseid just needs to stand there, and most heroes would break all their bones punching him

Darkseid had an awesome voice in the old Super Friends cartoon. He sounded like a rumbling volcano.
