Batman/Superman: World’s Finest by Mark Waid and Dan Mora

[Frontier]

Mora draws an amazing Superman.

Superman losing his powers, what a new concept lmao.

I have a hard time believing one writer doing 25 issues all by himself.

It’s crazy if true, what the hell could be the reason for it? DC putting all their major talent into what Scott Snyder is doing? That’s the only explanation I can come up with.

Oh man I just realized, the “Justice Gang” rumor from Bleeding Cool is probably referring to “Task Force 7”. Ultraman is supposedly on this team, the Earth 3 Ultraman I assume. Waid wrote Ultraman as kind of a test run for his Plutonian in Irredemable, it would be very cool to see him write Ultraman now. None of the Crime Syndicate other than Owlman has ever been “great”, Waid getting the chance to flesh Ultraman out would be welcome.

Isn't Ultraman dead... at this moment?

Earth 3 gets killed off all the time, they always come back. A post Irredeemable Waid potentially writing an evil Superman intrigus me, especially given how popular the archetype is in pop culture right now. I liked his Ultraman in TBATB:



But man I would love an Ultraman that is as terrifying as Plutonian:



Waid can honestly put Taylor and Ennis to shame in the edge department when he wants to, Ultraman let’s him scratch that itch.

There should a mistake. I don't think King/Williamson/Zdarsky will stop writing their series for 3 months. And Waid or any other writer never wrote more than 1 comic x week.

[Vordan]

Oh hey if Waid is doing the summer event he has to be the one to address the evil Composite right?



Fitting given that character exists because Dan Mora finally made the Composite merger look badass.

I have a hard time believing one writer doing 25 issues all by himself.

I think it might be one of those cases were they are credited as the "writer" because they wrote the outline but another writer is the one who actually writes the issue.

[magha_regulus]

Someone pointed out that the Superman next to Magog has a WW belt and pants, definitely is the Clark/Diana kid. And I guess they had a daughter too later on judging by the WW (I believe the Ross epilogue from Thy Kingdom Come showed multiple kids).

Waid hasn’t been involved at all with the Waller plot yet. Maybe he’s doing the summer event? Taylor already did Beast World and Williamson is doing House of Brainiac, not many people left to handle the mystery event.



I believe current canon is that each universe has its own Darkseid, but each is connected to the “true” Darkseid who exists in the Sphere of the Gods. Think of it like your hand, you have five fingers and each finger is unique, but all of them are part of your hand. That’s the relationship between Darkseid and his avatars.

My bad editing my comment. I had misread what you wrote. Going to leave this part in about the New Gods. -- Also to explain changes in the New Gods like how they appeared during the New 52 check out Geoff Thorne's Green Lantern run. He has a great series of annotations about this for free up on his Patreon. just search for green lantern there. https://www.patreon.com/winterman/posts

That's more believable.

Ahahaha Abraham Lincoln vs a T-Rex, fucking baller man

[The Frog Bros]

Ahahaha Abraham Lincoln vs a T-Rex, fucking baller man

It took me a second to realize Abe jumped out of the penny .
