That's what I figured... New Q up soon

Which three heroes did Kate Spence subpoena for the Shadow Thief trial?

Hawkman
Hawkgirl
Doctor Light

One right

Hawkman
Firestorm
Shining Knight

One right.
Shadow Thief was on trial for killing Firestorm (sad emoji)

I thought maybe Jason Rusch would have been subpoenaed

Hawkman
Captain Marvel
Vixen

the whole death of Firestorm was stupidly written, and was an unnecessary part of Identity Ctisis. pretty much nobody else in the story even referenced it. it felt shoehorned in!

Absolutely!!! It was the most obvious example of editorial interference I've ever seen in my life. For all of Meltzer's questionable story-telling decisions in that series (and, full disclosure, I do actually like it despite them) the death of Firestorm was clearly something he was told to throw in there in order to set up the new series.

And to me, it is the single biggest problem with the series (even more than the horrible rape and murder and character assassination and stuff): we're reading this (questionable) love letter to the satellite-era JLofA in which enormous focus and emotion is devoted to the loss of a loved one of one of those members (who barely even appeared during that run) and yet, when one of those ACTUAL MEMBERS dies, it is a total after-thought that practically no one ever mentions or reacts to. It is SO at odds, with the theme of the series (celebrating the satellite-era JLofA) that it just clearly shows how out-of-touch and incompetent the editor of that book was. And surprise, surprise: guess who champions Identity Crisis as his first big project at DC? Dan Didio. There should have been no surprise then, when a man who understands so little about the DCU would go on to literally destroy it.

Still only 1 right ...
Hawkman!

2 more to go


And I have serious reservations about the whole "let's kill random characters" ride that Didio clearly endorsed. Identity Crisis is difficult to reread because of the way it violates the Satellite era (which is the one I grew up on).

I agree with Blacula that the whole random Firestorm death thing was one of the worst parts. It just made things feel so disjointed.

I don't suppose we get a clue now, huh?

Hawkman
Batman
Superman

Hawkman
Will Magnus
Mister Miracle

?

The clue is... Ibby has it!

Over to you!

Wow, that was a totally random guess...

While with the JLE, Sue Dibny was horrified by a UN proposal to move the team to a certain city. She was afraid it would be so boring they would have to watch statues turn green. What city was this?

Amsterdam?

Nope

Zurich?

Brussels?

Nope to both.

Zurich is the closest guess

Geneva?

Nope

Geneva and Zurich are both close, but not that close

Vienna?

yes! it was Vienna! besides watching statues turn green, Sue thought they would eat vienna sausages

Which DCU magic user was named Nommo?

Dr Mist.

(I love the Global Guardians!)

It had to be ... Dr. Mist (Blacula loves Global Guardians)
