Not to mention that they're setting up a white guy as his last chance of having a good role model which just brings up more unfortunate implications. Oh DC, you're trying...kind of

[(Anonymous)]

it gets better: he first meets Barry when he's caught doing graffiti on a wall. DC, this is almost embarrassing

[(Anonymous)]

help me, white savior!!

The best part is that's pretty much rehashed from the origin of Jason Todd.

[(Anonymous)]

I hope they don't rehash the rest of his story

[dethtoll]

Shh! Don't give DC any ideas!

[(Anonymous)]

...well, now I kind of hope they do. It would be hilarious. I can sort of see Professor Zoom doing it if he's even around anymore

[insanenoodlyguy]

So now Slade beats him to death with a crowbar?

... Fuck it, I'm in.

[(Anonymous)]

Whaaaat. Did they have Wally try to steal Flash's rims or something? Oh god, that would be so awful. I can totally see DC doing that LOL

[iceyred]

Before this conversation I didn't understand the concept of 'second hand embarrassment.' It seemed weird to get embarrassed over somebody else' stupidity.

Now I understand. Holy shit DC.

[dethtoll]

Being a DC fan is like being a Cincinnati Bengals fan.

[iceyred]

I don't follow football. But I think I'm gonna go see what Marvel is up to these days.

I really recommend the new Ms Marvel book. Check it out over on Scans Daily for some samples. Marvel managing to add diversity and recycle old superhero identities in a non-racist way and also tell interesting stories. If only DC were even a quarter as good. As someone who was originally brought up on DC comics, and still has a soft spot in her heart for them regardless of the unremitting fail of the last few years, it is depressing to see how badly DC measures up in virtually every area (although Marvel's current issues with Wolverine are helping drag themselves down to DC's level a little, and Jubilee is still a damn vampire).

Its not just Marvel out doing DC, have you seen the covers for the new Sabrina line from Archie? And of course 2000AD is continually coming up with classy stuff too. Oh, DC, where did it all go wrong?

and Jubilee is still a damn vampire

I was starting to think that I had just dreamed that...

[insanenoodlyguy]

>Going on scans daily

You lost me.

[insanenoodlyguy]

I'm aware of it. It's the "going on it intentionally" part that I'm lost on.

[dethtoll]

I don't either, but I live here and being a hardcore Bengals fan would be more of an admirable trait if those weren't the only ones left.

[truxillogical]

If I recall correctly, Marvel is currently up to five female solo titles (She-Hulk, Black Widow, Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, Storm...one more?), two of which feature women of color as the leads, and the first four of which (Storm isn't out yet, I don't think) don't sexualize their heroes.

Also up to titles like Young Avengers--which just ended, but made a nice, complete story worth reading, and has many LGB characters in it, and is a fun, wacky story that still has a lot of drama.

Also up to titles like Loki: Agent of Asgard. Which is pretty much basically Marvel saying, "Hey, we noticed that a lot of women seemed to like Loki in the movies. Y'all want a comic about him where he's funny and sexy but still a conniving little master-mind, and also delicious mythology?" (Also, another character of color--Sigurd, the First Hero. Who is HOT.)

Also up to Hawkeye, which lets both Clint and Kate use the moniker Hawkeye (whereas DC couldn't handle having two Flashes, Tricksters, or Blue Beetles) and get pretty equal hero time--and is also a friendship/partnership between a male and female hero with zero sexual tension.


Marvel's up to a lot of good things.

More like a Cleveland Browns fan these days. At least the Bengals have been to the playoffs in this century.

[truxillogical]

Anyone else feel like they had Dangerous Minds on in the background when they came up with this?
