Flashpoint Beyond #5 Preview

[Morgoth]

I hope Legacy League isn't an actual team name, because it's terrible.

Justice Legacy would have been better if they weren’t going to let them be the Justice League.

[Frontier]

I’m aware that he’s no longer the company man he once was, and the outcome of Dark Crisis was never really in doubt, but there’s something vaguely unappealing about actively screwing over another writers book before it’s even

To be honest though, other than spoiling a part of the ending, how is Johns really screwing over what Williamson is doing beyond just piggybacking off the inevitable end of his plot?

[Morgoth]

I don't know, maybe I'm being dramatic, but from my point of view, if DC doesn't make them Justice League at least for a short run, but some separate team (Legacy League, Justice League, etc), it will just be another confirmation that they don't really consider them seriously anymore. Teams outside of JL and SS in DC usually don't do well. Even Titans, despite their popularity.

[Frontier]

Oh, and I guess Johns is still going with Martin Stein being a bad guy from Doomsday Clock, which I hated.

[D.Z]

Legacy League isn't the name. They will just be JL spin-off.

Considering he’s this is the first time Manhattan’s been addressed by name in a while (Williamson had his image appear but danced a six foot radius around naming him) and it’s leading into a JSA arc with Ozymandis’ number one fangirl as the enemy, the Doomsday Clock stuff will continue

Not to mention it’s really the only the thing Firestorm has got going on right now. I mean aside from appearing in splash pages, group shots, and covers what is firestorm really doing?

Even though it also screws up Firestorm.

I mean really only the background of one half of the character and the two characters relationship

Which is, like, the whole foundation of Firestorm .

[Robotman]

At this point I’ve found Flashpoint Beyond way more interesting than Dark Crisis. Dark Crisis has been kind of paint by numbers event book. At least FB is introducing some new concepts, even if they are quite convoluted.

I mean if you want a real example of Johns taking shots:



This was as blunt and in your face as it can get lol. And he wrote this in an issue co-written with Scott Snyder! I do think Johns doesn’t care about these events anymore, and to be honest part of why I might not be seeing it as a shot is I don’t particularly care about the “infinite Multiverse” or the JL “dying” either, both are complete nothingburgers.

Reading Superboy Primes’ rant…

[WonderScott]

It’s a good summation of how space and time work in the DCU, so I’m good with it.

[j9ac9k]

Hehe... "Kord Talk" instead of "Ted Talk." I get it.... that made me chuckle.

100% agreed. As for the legacy league or whatever, we'll see. Just don't care about omniverse-shattering giga mega events.

Exactly.
