Speaking of solicitations, I was disappointed that Messner-Loebs wasn't involved in Flash 800, but DC Pride in the same month is reprinting Flash #53. That's cool. Nice bit of synchronicity.

I'd love to have that one as a poster. Or... all of them.

Ooh, I like that.

He mentions it here at least:

What was it about the pitch that sold you?

SMALLWOOD: Well, it's got a good hook. It's high concept. It reminded me of D.O.A., which is a classic film.

TOM...

I love the zeta beam formula, especially in repetition. And that melancholy of wish fulfillment laced with impermanence.

For me, the character represents finding your niche. A thousand superheroes...

A subtext of nuclear anxiety, maybe? I haven't read through that lens, but.. planet threatening dangers, reassurance of agency.

I mean, when the writer inserts gladiatorial contests with savage "Rurals"...

I wish I could thumbs-up a forum post. Yeah, it's from King.

"Adam Strange is one of a long line of characters--like Tarzan and Flash Gordon, stolid men with dimpled chins who thrive in "foreign...

"Adam Strange is a war criminal" is a What If story. "Adam Strange is colonialist" is a critique of the property that brands it as outdated, if not problematic. It seems to me DC has reason enough,...

Oh, Flash would be perfect. Wally, Michael, Adam on an adventure. Irey and Aleea as new best friends.

I hope it's explicitly not in continuity. Like, in canon Adam's memoir is Mystery in Space, dedicated to his daughter with a joyful bible verse.

I'm thinking they could (and hopefully would) drop Adam-as-villain. Rann is at war with the Pykkts; Adam died; Aleea is on Earth for her protection, studying under the third smartest man in the...

I felt he colored between the lines more faithfully than past reimaginings, but in just.. the most uncharitable way possible. For example, extrapolate from the science monsters of the Silver Age, you...

We'll see. I can see them sanding the edges of Adam's crimes, while moving forward with widowed Alanna and/or Aleea in a legacy role. The book ended with a viable status quo.

I think they should lean into Wallace's character origins. Make him a Wally West variant from another timeline or universe. From the Wildstorm universe maybe (merged with Earth-0 because of...

I subscribed to series on Comixology (because the issue wasn't listed) and the order confirmation says Oct 12.

I wonder if we'll see Aleea in the final issue. I like how the conspiracy has been no show, all tell. Appropriate to the real world, where what we know is largely based on what others say.

The John Broome switcheroo. Hal Jordan gains super speed when struck by lightning on a test flight. Barry Allen finds a mysterious lantern when investigating a crashed ship. The Silver Age that...

To be fair, the series is about (mis)perception and the question of Adam's character.

I don't see much wiggle room for plan/trick considering Phoenix has a confirmed body count. Maybe it's left to interpretation whether it was truly Adam. Like, aboard the control ship they find body...

Mark Waid, doing clean up after the previous deconstruction.

Post-Infinite Crisis 2000's felt more tumultuous to me. Passing the mantle back and forth. Aging, killing, retiring, un-retiring, resurrecting. I don't think any of the writers lasted more than a...

The past two issues have been... interesting. My emotional support fantasy turned into mouthpiece for my depression.

I don't want to rail on Tom King. It's solid character work, however...

I wonder if Alanna killed Adam on purpose -- seemingly by accident, because she knows they're watched (as we saw previously). It's Aleea's only hope. The JLA can't rescue and with Adam exposed, the...

He's at Ahoy Comics, I believe. Co-founded?
