Infinite Crisis: Reverberations of Earths Past 1
Infinite Crisis Spoilers Ahead. OK, I see a theme building here: most of this month's DC Comics have a "One Year Later" last page, which features various incarnations from the character or group's history. I am going to spotlight some of them here, so avert your eyes if you don't want to see them. It really doesn't spoil anything major league and it's a trip down memory lane. Click on the pictures for larger images...
Hawkman 49: The winged version of Conan finally gets laid and fights a bunch of Psions. We see him and Hawkgirl in their myriad forms just as she gets ready to take over this series. I can't imagine Hawkman's dead from Infinite Crisis, they've played that hand too many times.
Superman 226: A nice view of all the Lois Lanes, including the black version of Lois (although she was never on a separate Earth).
Teen Titans 32: Garfield remembers all the versions of the Doom Patrol. Goodbye, John Byrne: you've just been retconned!
Nightwing 117: Dick comes clean on his various mistakes, and reunites with Barbara Gordon. I like this drawing, mushy and romantic, and we see them kissing as Robin and Batgirl. I always thought these two belonged together, ever since I read a Detective Comics that teamed them up together.
JLA 125: A sad ending for the series that Grant Morrison started. Just plain filler material until the big reboot with Brad Meltzer. We get this crappy drawing of the various JLA headquarters...my favorite one was always the JLA satellite.
