DC really doesn't get it.
- This story is thrown out of nowhere
- Predicable. As soon as I saw this title, my knee-jerk reaction was that they're replaced with woke counterparts
- Fans are numb to this thing by now. Everybody and their mother knows these deaths are a set back. After this project fails miserably, they'll have to bring the originals back.
They won’t retain the old fans with this forced message that appropriates the identity of the original characters. Can't imagine they're going to get new fans either with this move. Who the hell was asking for this?

Can't speak for Crush but I think Wallace is about 14-15? I think he started out around 16 but got quietly de-aged a bit at some point, or maybe just written as if he were younger? Aside from Aqualad's introduction I never read any of the Damian Titans so I dunno if it was ever mentioned, and I don't recall Wallace's age being stated in Rebirth Flash either, though I just might not be remembering it.

Dan DiDio always wins. The Justice League dying is proof of that. Sounds just like something he'd do in 5G.

After 30 years of reading comics, I can conclude that the original Justice League will definitely stay dead permanently. For sure. No question about it. Originally Posted by MajorHoy

Howabout use the YJ team as the fill in JL, but instead of filling the shoes from the dead leaguers, they can't cut it,wouldn't that be a interesting twist. A team actually failing to take over.
Then throw them on earth 3,where there is no one to help them or save them. They have to find away to survive, and maybe actually get better.Created from 2 of the greatest men,made with 2 powersets thst are both SUPER,and has 2 cool asf looks and attitudes.

I've been reading comics since the early 90's and I think that it would be good to give the JL a long break like Marvel did with Fantastic Four .
What will happen with the solo books, will they continue ? I'm thinking that they'll have to. As Batman/Bruce & Family probably accounts for almost 50% of their sales I would think.
As for me , I have no interest in "new generation " replacements . I would be out until the originals come back.

If a great story is being told and the art is good then why not read great stories...
Never understood this odd approach to entertainment in films, tv or comics...
Like everything was new at one point, even the OG Justice League used to be a different team in the early 90s and prior that.
Why not just support well written books

No, as someone who read The Death of Superman and Reign of the Supermen when they came out in the 1950s, I am 100% willing to bet that the original Justice League will permanently die. I'm going to put my life savings behind this bet. I will profit. Originally Posted by The Darknight Detective

This is my opinion. I haven’t been reading DC forever so maybe I haven’t been burned by something like this before. To me, if the original Justice League is gone but you get great stories, why not give it a chance. I love Wolverine but not more then I love a great story. I’m interested in seeing what DC does.

At heart I love a well written story with good art work. So really it depends on where DC really goes with this in the long run.
I read mostly DC and Spider-Man and sometimes other Marvel books and I like Nocterra from Image .
I actually already put in my pre-order for JL # 75 and we'll see what they do going forward.
Maybe a mix of original and new generation would work.
I actually really like JL Incarnate , so maybe something along those lines would be good.

It really hinges on what DC does with it. Is it a literal "death" with everyone six feet under or is it a metaphorical "death" whereby the league splits up after some event? I don't think many fans would be up for the former as it's a tired troupe/gimmick by this point. However, the latter certainly is interesting.

Because some people just want to pick up stories featuring characters they like. And some don't like the prospect of their favourites being pushed out for the new kids on the block. Originally Posted by Menacer

This is likely just another plot point that was developed for 5G and was held off until it could be repurposed. You can smell the stink of Didio from it a mile off.Last edited by Somecrazyaussie; 02-02-2022 at 09:39 PM.
