The New Gods #7 (2024-) leverages the shared universe.

The scope of this New Gods run's zoomed in and out - it's balanced " Apokolips and New Genesis being menaced by a force emboldened by Darkseid's death " with " Scott and Barda protecting a child of prophecy from being killed by Orion ", each issue advancing both stories.

The latter story's on Earth - issue #6 brought the former there too, consequently pulling in Superman and the Justice League.

The former'd stepped in because he'd heard Orion and Scott.

The latter stepped in because someone else heard. )

The Flash #19 - "So the Soul"

image host

When writing Big-2 books, unless you’re one of the handful of creators invited to plot the course of the entire shared universe, at some point you have to reconcile yourself to the notion that you are a cog in a machine. Some publishers, and some editors, are better than others at telling the cogs about the machine. Where it’s going, what it’s for. Who’s tinkering with it, and to what end. Why that new component suddenly appeared overnight, and what it means for your specific function. Ugh. More tortured metaphors. Point is, it’s easy to understand why the creative urge tends to carry a writer, when confronted with this reality, in one of two directions. They either a) aspire to become a driver of the machine, or b) focus so tightly on their own unique component within it - seeing it as a discrete device in its own right, with its own modes and motivations - that they can essentially ignore the rest. For myself, I’ve consciously tried to be in the former camp while instinctively falling into the latter. -- Si Spurrier

The Ultimates #12

I think we're all kind of reevaluating who are villains and who are heroes. And being part of the establishment doesn't feel quite as heroic as it did 60 years ago, 20 years ago, not even EIGHT years ago! -- Deniz Camp

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like. Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat, have some fun and vent as necessary.

Normal board rules about conduct and behavior still apply, of course, so think twice before posting something that might cross a line, as always.

I spent the past week at a forced company retreat and won an umbrella for being on the best puzzle team. Top that, if you can!
