But, we'll find out.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Marvel released a free "Marvel Universe" magazine this month that seems to be their answer to DC Nation - with some creator bios and process pages/sketches etc. Do they do this often? It isn't remotely as illuminating as DC Nation has been.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-50948084715840284672018-10-09T08:27:26.993-04:002018-10-09T08:27:26.993-04:00Interesting bits regarding Talia. Is she becoming ...Interesting bits regarding Talia. Is she becoming a more important player? Is she linked to the Invisible Mafia? Hmm... I was wondering what she has to do with Superman, but If I remember correctly, Talia helped Bruce take LexCorp away from Lex in "Public Enemies" -right before Kara's reappearance!- and she sent Blackrock after Superman in Superman (Volume 2) #223 during the lead to Infinite Crisis, so there is precedent.<br /><br />They are trying hard to build Rogol's villain cred up, but I'm not sure what it is working. Still, the article mentions Supergirl took part in the earlier battle. So, yay?<br /><br />Ugh. Heroes in Crisis.<br /><br />Superman building human-like robots again? Interesting and nostalgia-inducing. Pa, Ma and Lana robots? Weird. First of all, Kal your parents and middle-school girlfriend are good people but NOT therapists. Yes, I know they are supposed to be caregivers, but still... Second, your Clark identity is supposed to be a secret. Third, poor Pete Ross. Not even his former best friend remembers him. Fourth, we have been treated to one panel of Pa, Ma and Lana lookalikes brutally murdered. Ugh.<br /><br />Oh, and I'm not American but I find the "the whole façade of Sanctuary..." bit somewhat offensive. So you have brutally murdered fictional characters to make a -at best, questionable- point regarding the real world's workings.<br /><br />"Heroes in Crisis" is pretentious shock value without substance. Zack Snyder would be proud.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
