The New Golden Age: Discussion Thread

So many Aquawomen...but yeah, Lorena should come back .

Alright so I just read Flash #788 today, yeah I’m pretty sure Jeremy Adams Flash run is a in the shadows New Golden Age book now.

Past issues referencing Judy Garrick, with Judy probably joining the series once free, and then there is Mister Terrific with his hypertime machine this issue. Definitely Adams playing a part in things to come.

Adams quietly helping Johns take over the DCU again.

That makes perfect sense given Adams' contribution to Doomsday Clock. Hopefully we see more of this.

I think you mean Flashpoint Beyond.

I wonder will Golden Age Aquaman have children?
Maybe in current continuity, Koryak can be his son.

Please no. It would be much more fitting and interesting if Koryak was Orm’s son.

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

I wonder if they are gonna connect the Golden age Aquaman to the Sword of Atlantis series.

Regarding the cover-within-a-cover,

Flash Comics #10 (October 1940)

I got a kick out of this. I think it's going to turn into one of those things where I enjoy the setup but find some of the later execution underwhelming, but this was good. I like this Helena. And I have never wondered why Jay Garrick did not have a teen sidekick but it appears Geoff Johns did! Love her look. Man Todd Nauck is great, he's got kind of an Art Adams vibe that I really appreciate.

Kind of odd for DC to be debuting Salem the Witch Girl shortly after they debuted Klarienne the Witch Girl.

Loved the fake Who's Whos, they should take it a step further and release fake facsimile issues of Flash #10 and such as they actually were before the (cough) timeline was altered. But why would Red Lantern debut in Green Lantern 1? He should be a post war, red menace character.

Oh man that would be amazing!

Just imagine a bunch of facsimile-type comics of 1940’s golden age characters with all of the missing 13. At least Variant covers at the very least.

I think that cover was well picked. You don't really notice the open space on the cover until you see a possibility of someone being there. (Even if she looks more like she's gonna slug Joan upside her head.)

I read Stargirl #1 yesterday on DCUI and thought it was done well, too. Nauck's art was perfect for it and there were a few moments that could've come off far-fetched if it wasn't for Johns' way of delivery. A very solid read.

Really not happy that Jay is given a child. He couldn't father children and it became a plot point as to his position in Flash family. I don't understand why his infertility is waved away like this. Some people can't have children. It made his bonds with Barry and Wally more poignant.

Not to mention, another speedster. Just what Flash needs more of .

I guess now we have four female Speedsters (five if Linda keeps hers, I guess?).
