Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities The Official Infinite Crisis Spoiler Thread

I think having <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Pantha's head knocked off was bad enough, but having it bounce across the ground to land in front of her "family" was tacky.</span></span> And as a Risk fan, I was disappointed that they brought him out of limbo just to rip off his arm. He didn't even get to do anything.

I just hope there's a point to all of this. There's an awful lot of blood being spilled, and if we're just doing it to either a) give everyone a big sigh of relief when it turns out that somehow all this mayhem has been averted when everything turns out okay or b) just to show how important and world changing this crossover is, I'll be disappointed.

I think that's what a large part of our feeling this way is, AFOB.

Jamie

Here you go:

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">

Everyone's confused because of all the heroes who disappeared last issue, including the heroes themselves, who find themselves on a deserted Earth-2.

Booster Gold and the New Beetle visit the Batcave to join his group that he's organizing to go against Brother Eye.

Earth-2 Superman and Lois are happy to be home, until Lois dies. Supes screams out Lois's name, which is apparently heard by the other Supes on Earth-1, who comes racing. They fight.

Wonder Woman receives a visit from Earth-2 Wonder Woman, who tells her that she is fading from existence, but that WW needs to help Supes. She says something about not trying to be perfect, but being human.

WW interrupts the two Supes fighting. Earth-1 Supes says something along the lines of "If you're from this Earth, it can't be perfect. The perfect Earth doesn't need a Superman." Earth-2 Supes suddenly realizes that he's been duped, and the plan was never to bring back Earth-2.

Cut to Alex, who is pushing the next step in his master plan to bring back all of the infinte earths until he finds the perfect one to survive. Along the way he drops some information about various post-Crisis heroes (Breach, Huntress, Kyle Raynor) being from "Earth-8", which is really puzzling.

Thousands of Earths appear in the sky as Superboy and Nightwing prepare to attack Luthor in the arctic.

A Flash appears in Tokyo, where he tells Dr. Light that "they couldn't hold him".

Superboy-Prime re-appears, wearing the Anti-Monitor's armor.</span></span>

A little expansion from what EDE posted...

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text"> Breach was to be the Captain Atom of Earth 8. The current Huntress Helena, Kyle Rayner and Jason Rusch Firestorm were supposed to be that Earth 8 versions of GL and Firestorm. So is it safe to say that any new version of a hero we have seen was supposed to be Earth 8's version? Conner Hawke being that worlds Green Arrow. Tim Drake being that worlds only Robin?
What do you think the signficane of Earth 8 is?

Also, Dido did an interview for Newsarama saying that it was SB Prime punching the wall to this univerise and everytime he did a time ripple would come about. That would help to explain all the retcons, versions and new histories of all the heroes. </span></span>

Yes, yes, YES!!!!

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">FLASH ISN'T DEAD!!</span></span>

Also, <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Wonder Woman of Earth-2 amuses me. Actually, both Wonder Womans amuse me. And, w00t~ for the return of Zauriel!! I him.

Oh, and the Earth-8 stuff made me giggle. I'm not sure why... maybe it was just the mental image of those particular heroes being the only ones on their earth. It'd be... something, all right.</span></span>

P.S. Did anybody know Ragman was Jewish? That too amused me. As did Blue Devil's appearance. I do so love the Shadowpact.

I thought it was common knowledge Ragman was Jewish. At least that's how I remember the mini that introduced this version being set up.

Take a closer look at the costume....I don't think it's who you think it is.

It was nice to have a relatively peaceful issue.

And Dick and Conner? Woot!

Jamie

I have to agree with Jamie. I don't think that is who you think it is.

Also some of the 7 Soliders show up. We see Mister Miracle and Frankstein!

(i need to learn how to spell)

rtvu2, here's who I thought it was:

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Barry Allen Flash</span></span>

Also, I noticed MM but did not see Frankenstein. I'll have to go back and look for him.

I also think Conner isn't long for this world, unfortunately.

Jamie

Jamie, I agree.

Oh and the Conner I meant was Conner Hawke Green Arrow. I think Kon-El Conner will be sticking around. I hope so.

I think I read somewhere that they had post-Crisis plans for Conner Hawke. It might have been in one of the OYL Q & A sessions over at Newsarama.

I think there was talk of a Conner Hawke miniseries coming in the third wave of OYL.

Conner!! All of them--

As for who it was... I never said if I thought it was <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Wally or Barry</span></span> because I really couldn't tell. I don't honestly care. What's important to me is that <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">even if the Speed Force is gone, the entire Flash line doesn't seem gone with it. In other words, they aren't all dead, which was my fear. I still don't know if any of them will come back perminent-like but I sure hope so! Especialy Bart and Wally!!</span></span>

Man, I really like those spoiler tags!

Also, Scott-- there was a Ragman mini? Or did you mean the Day of Vengeance mini? Either way, I missed it. But I like it. Jews represent!

i felt sad about Earth-2 Wonder Woman's final panel as she flew into the oblivion with smile saying "Even Superman". she was the most bravest human being ever to grace the DC pages. Enjoy in Peace, Diana Prince AKA Wonder Woman, of Earth-2.

So where does that leave Fury/Lyta? Up the creek without an origin?

Fury/Lyta's dead...at least that's what I hear....ask someone who read JSA.

Lyta's dead???? Those bastards!!!!

Yep Fury's dead, Hector too. Gone to live with Dream of the endless.

What's interesting is that DD said in Crisis counselling that there will be minor soft reboots of big three coming in IC 6.

I think we've already seen most of the changes to Superman in Birthright as opposed to Man of Steel. If you've seen the preview for OYL superman there's a tantalizing tease <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">for you Legion fans about Clark's Smallville years post-IC. Make me wonder who the character Wacker was asking for when Didio gave him Supergirl.</span></span>

see Bizarro's World yet? no one mentions that world yet....I laughed when I saw Bizarro's World as a part of Infinite Earths.

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Flash appears in Tokyo, where he tells Doctor Light...</span></span>

Is this Kimiyo Hoshi? What's her status?

Yes. It is. She appears to have gotten her powers back.

not only Dr. Light II s back..I was baffled by Speedy II's appearance - how does she get into action during Titans and IC while she is being severely injured and missing in Green Arrow? Green Arrow is being impaled but later on he will be alive running as Star City mayor...? *puzzled*
