Detective Comics #647.

Comments about crappy parents in one of my Robin posts inspired me to revisit these issues. They feature the debut of a character that will become relevant to Tim in the future.

"After being exposed as a super-powered person and hunting down the doctor who gave him—and his mother—their powers, it would seem like Huck could finally get back to the simple life he’d come to love, making folks in his small town feel safe and cared for by doing one good deed a day and being the real change anyone would want to see in the world. But then a mysterious man tells him he and his mother aren’t the ONLY super-people out in the world; many are hiding, just like them." -- Image

I’d be an eccentric choice for The Flash if the object was simply to - ugh - play the hits. But if I’m allowed to go delving for fascinating tales in cosmic horror, psychedelic revelation, 70’s adventure or (as per the next arc) ghastly trench warfare? Count me in. -- Si Spurrier

So, remember that cool scene from the old Fantastic Four cartoon where Ghost Rider effortlessly defeated Galactus? Here's how that goes in the comics, I guess:

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 and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

Actually, if you've been able to stay even remotely abreast of the news, my compliments and sympathies in equal measure.

I've been stuck at dogin insane hours at work for what seems like months now (It's only been weeks... I think... possibly days... What is time again?)

Anyway, as I have to commute yet again, I'm leaving this short.

The first issue of this run'd had them described as " the most corrupt police force in America " - they were certainly up there when Blüdhaven was first introduced.

The run preceding this, the Tom Taylor/Bruno Redondo one, had included that corruption being cleansed with Superman supporting character Maggie Sawyer being appointed Blüdhaven police commissioner.

This run's following from that with " there's still problems in Blüdhaven's police force ". Part of it's been their officers cheerfully accepting laser guns, jetpacks and walking tanks (provided by Spheric Solutions, front for the run's overarching villains) to use in their duties.

Issue #125'd had one of the laser-gun-and-jetpack cops murdered - and Maggie, looking into his death, discovering that his " by the book " nature had just been his way of getting away with everything he wanted to.

She and Nightwing'd met the dead Officer Dietrich's killer - an apparent manifestation of Captain Hallow, the ghost of " the first [Blüdhaven cop] to die in the line of duty ", who supposedly punished those of the Blüdhaven police who didn't stand by their fellow officers.

Nightwing'd grappled with the ghost - who'd slipped his grip, leaving a cloak behind. Maggie'd got a shot off at the Captain as he fled - one that hit.

( Captain Hallow still got away. )

Coming to you from a murderer's row of talent, Legends was basically the pilot episode of the post-Crisis DCU, introducing or reintroducing a lot of the characters and teams that would dominate the playing field for the near future. As a story, it left me a bit cold, with some pretty wooden dialogue and a slight story about humanity's need for heroes. Of course, with the God of Evil arguing the con position, there's not much nuance to be had.

Anyway, here's Amanda Waller, back when she was less of a villain than Darkseid.
