It happened in the present but he wasn't in control, Xanadu saw the aftermath.

:ohhh::ohhh::ohhh: best visual cue would be that "future" sign in the window blinked out when the chick walked in, right? props for clearing that up. I'll reread the issue tomorrow.




but do you think there's any significance to:

  • Pandora's box having 3 eyesockets,
  • Despero showing up and taking a dive (cause unless Despero's been SEVERELY depowered, Martian Manhunter shouldn't be soloing him any more than any Marvel hero should be soloing Thanos)
  • Supes growing a third eye all of the sudden,
  • Them referencing this super old school issue:

really, it's almost like they're setting up to retell JLA/JSA: Virtue and Vice. Shazam, Despero, multiple Justice teams and the Seven Deadly Sins.

If anybody else is reading this but have never read this story, please do. Hell of a read.






maybe I just did a Quantum level of reaching, though. :russ:

Im trying to catch up with my boy Mike Turner series' Fathom. Good read. It has the old Namor Atlantis vs the surface world feel.

Wow, thats just genius. Would make sense about why his chess piece was missing from the board, maybe the secretly society has it and they can control him with it, which would be how they made him kill Dr Light.

If anything she would know that is not Peter. Could be the beginning of the end.

You know damn well how misleading covers are.

I figured Despero was going to be involved in something bigger after the way J'onn took him out so easily and with Superman growing a 3rd eye after touching Pandora's Box it's pretty much a definite.
I wonder if Despero switched places with Supes and the guy J'onn took out waste ally Superman while Despero is the one who killed Dr. Light?

And Virtue & Vice is a really good read. It is one of the best JLA/JSA crossovers ever.

Slott and Hickman are my two go-to writers on Marvel right now. Bendis is a guy that has some great concepts from time to time but it is the dialogue that irritates me. A lot of characters come off sounding less intelligent than they should be..
