Who Was Who Is Who #44

So for want of anything better to write about on a Monday, I'm going to go through all my copies of Who's Who and see if I can predict who will make it over to the new DCU by the end of 2012, who might make it and who hasn't got a Syonide's chance.

STRONG BOW - another Old West character that may benefit from All Star Western so will go into the possible column.

Who'd Like A Cocktail? #201

You'd think the daughter of an archaeologist would read something better, wouldn't you?

Kneel Before Me, My Minions

So anyway, DC Comics have a personality test on their website . . . a Super-Villain personality test.

And I had to take it, didn't I?

Me? Evil genius?

It must be true - it's an on-line personality test and they never lie, do they?

Now, faithful lackeys, about my secret lair . . .

Iron Man 3 Trailer

Wow.

I haven't been so excited by a trailer since Prometheus. Let's hope this turns out waaaaaaaaaaay better than that did.

New Direction For Firestorm

There's a good (if short) interview with Dan Jurgens over at CBR where he talks about his plans for Firestorm which he takes over as writer/penciller from #13. Of the few things that caught my eye, this one made me happiest:

"There was a time when Firestorm was one of the strongest characters and strongest sellers in the DCU. He represented a certain youthful breath of fresh air in the DCU and I want to bring that back. He's a fun character who tends to have fun, wild stories. That feeling has to be on the page and get across to the reader."

Thank you, Mr Jurgens - I've said time and again that I like my comics to have some fun in them and it's nice to hear someone else thinks so too.

Who Was Who Is Who #43

So for want of anything better to write about on a Monday, I'm going to go through all my copies of Who's Who and see if I can predict who will make it over to the new DCU by the end of 2012, who might make it and who hasn't got a Stiletta's chance.

STARFIRE - no, not the one you're immediately thinking of but the swords and sorcery heroine on the left there who surprised us all by showing up in the pages of Time Masters: Vanishing Point just before the whole Flashpoint thing. Don't think she'll be making an appearance again, though.

STARFIRE - okay, so this is the one you're thinking of with the metal bikini and all the controversy following her first appearance post-Flashpoint. For better or worse (I've not read them) Starfire's in Red Hood and The Outlaws so gets in the in place column.

Who'd Like A Cocktail? #200

Barry Allen proves he's incapable of reading the situation between two people
