Already wrong lmao Khufu and Chay-Ra were humans, not from Thanagar.
How did he get that wrong? He got the Deathbringer stuff right, how did he think those two were anything else but humans?

MARTIAN MANHUNTER

The idea of DC having a "history" is ludicrous when they can't even decide on a continuity.

I'm surprised he didn't sneak-in a TDS tirade.

>>149149377
What would TDS Telecom have to do with this?

And that's it. If you liked this, support your LCS or whatever.

>>149149349
Is this the first time we actually see Justice Society Dark?
Johns teased that, but I don't think he ever actually elaborated on them

>>149149375
To me, that's kind of half of the fun of it, seeing how many hoops they'll have to jump through to make this make some sense, it's fun.
I look forward to seeing them do this again in 5 years.

>>149149389

It's Mark Waid, hes been wanting do this for years. Good for him.

>>149149402
>I look forward to seeing them do this again in 5 years.

I hate how this isn't even a joke.

>>149149503
Waid's brain 90% DC Comics continuity, 9% tears, and 1% pervert shit.

>>149149500
Which decade did they belong to? They’ll probably appear in book 2z

>>149149293
what about the Bana-Mighdall

It’s interesting how Morrison was completely skipped and the only reference to him here is in the appendix with regard to Bruce Wayne being sent to the past. Instead we get references to a rapist and Scott Snyder’s terrible fanfiction.

I can’t wait until Hickman comes to DC in 2026 and rewrites everything and makes this outdated again because his diagrams are good enough. How much do you want to bet that he’ll completely nuke this timeline on the first book he starts with?

>>149149557
I don't recall exactly when, but they're after the JSA, but before the JLA, they were J'onn's original hero team, he was the Bronze Wraith.
Book 2 would make the most sense, hopefully they're there.

>>149149577
Oh, and the appendix? All those panels were taken from pirate sites and so were the citations. They didn’t even give volume numbers.

>>149149279
so who's "God" here and how does he relate to the Hands or the Endless here >>149149276

>>149149577
>It’s interesting how Morrison was completely skipped and the only reference to him here is in the appendix with regard to Bruce Wayne being sent to the past. Instead we get references to a rapist and Scott Snyder’s terrible fanfiction.
Which parts was that? I forget what Morrison added or the rapist or anything.

>>149149488
Hopefully this will shut up all the Fury fans. Lyta Fury is still the daughter of Helena

>>149149733
>Lyta Fury is still the daughter of Helena
Who’s Helena again? I’m sorry, this timeline is so confusing

>no mention of Golden Age Aquaman
Huh.

>>149149765
Hey you’re right.

>>149149329
is that Iron Man

>>149149780
It’s Baron Blitzkrieg, the Nazi

>>149149590
The Presence I assume

>>149149859
but how does he relate to the history of the multiverse here? he's not mentioned at all aside from the Spectre being "God's wrath"

>>149149918
Snyder said the Source and the Presence were the same thing 5 years ago. Whether that’s canon or not is the question. The Imaginary Axis YouTuber guy had an interview with Snyder 5 years ago and asked him all these questions we’re asking now and he literally flubbed and said “uhh yeah idk maybe” and that’s been the state of DC canon since.

>Godwave, the thing that’s the source of basically every super power in existence, isn’t mentioned
>that weird ancient Justice League with Black Adam, Hippolytta and Swamp Thing not mentioned
What other stuff is missing? I’m surprised they mentioned what I’m assuming is the Superman Conspiracy thing from Doomsday Clock tho >>149149356

>>149149315
So Milestone is canon in DC, but no mention of anything from Wildstorm.

>>149149966
to be fair, I wouldn't expect Scott Snyder or literally any other sane man in the world to make sense of DC continuity if I asked questions on the spot

except Mark Waid maybe

>>149149577
>Instead we get references to a rapist and Scott Snyder’s terrible fanfiction
qrd?

>>149150033
Rapist = Gaiman

Scott Snyder’s fanfiction = the Metal Saga

>>149150017
I really doubt anything Wildstorm related will be mentioned at all. That world is just way too different from mainline DC. At best Apollo and Midnighter might be mentioned in their N52 selves, with no indication Wildstorm stuff ever happened.

>>149149577
Hickman will only write for DC when Marvel buys DC.

wasn't the thing about The Hand the fact that they were really disappointed at the DC multiverse during most Crises and only decided to do something about it during Death Metal

>>149149297
More interesting than I expected.
Ordway should probably retire.

>>149150091
I think most Wildstorm history has been transferred over to Earth-41. That's the one based on Image Comics with Spore and Dino Cop.

I don't mind the universe being disjointed, that's the charm imo, but this isn't really making things more cohesive.

Also since when is Chay-ara thanagarian this shit better don't include John like in JLU

Wasn't Jason a knight?

No mention that Nighthawk and Cinnamon are reincarnations of the Hawks?

>>149149979
Yes, the Supermen Conspiracy is from Doomsday Clock, Waid is doing everything Johns left him to do.
Now hope part 2 includes Wildcats and JLA Avengers since this is the main plot.

>>149149324
>Dream and Dodds having a relation
Hell Yeah

>>149150476
Always has been, dream showed up in JLA, Metal, etc.
>>149149300
Waid, you senile moron, Ystin is from a pre-civilizational, 10,000 years old camelot. That was a thing pre and post new 52. They fell to the Sheeda in Seven Soldiers.

>>149149349
Oh the New frontier's Suicide squad is prime earth canon?

>>149150797
that's been a thing for a while now

>>149149577
Such faggotry in one single post

>>149150119
And this is happening already since they are testing the waters and cooperating again
Also Part 2 will obviously mention JLA Avengers and Wildcats since Johns, Snyder and Waid wanted the OG universe introduced at DC during the 90's, and since ICON is here, then Part 2 and 3 will cover the next generation with Milestone, Wildstorm and Beyond.
>OG Gen 13 introduced as the new heroes of the 90's
>Hitman also part of this new generation and also missed by the community
>Virgil being born from the original comic but his look is now the same as the Cartoon.

>>149150091
Too Early in the timeline to introduce Gen13 and the Wildcats, those are at most events of the 90's when above is the new generation of heroes post Death and Return.

>>149150119
Hickman has had a foot on the door for some time now, he constantly says in interviews that he's writing shit like Imperial simply out of compromise.

>>149149329
Stop forcing Alan to be gay

yeah no I doubt they're gonna fold WildStorm properties into this unified continuity, it'd be stupid too since it's such a different setting. just keep it as an alternate universe

>>149149329
>Hyppolita instead of Diana in the 40s
I'm better off with this

>>149149330
A lot of stuff like this page make me thinkg Johns ghost-writ this book, or maybe it was Nauck's push since he was also involved in those stories.

>>149150914
Thank god Johns no longer has influence at current dc. This is more recency bias, like the avengers 1,000,000 B.C showing up in History of the marvel universe

>>149149334

>>149149334
Gotta be the first time the Dan Richards Manhunter has been mentioned in about 20 years.

>>149150798
It's very possible that Waid knows that but his personal autism required making Justin come first since the character was published first. I think a lot of this series will be him trying to consolidate the actual published history with what he thinks should be the history. Add in the executive mandates and I expect it to be a mess of a series.

>>149150545
Volthoom is mentioned in the notes section>>149149366
Honestly, Rodriguez could have made it fit, Nauck and Ordway's layouts are comparatively much simpler.

Never heard of this before. Are they teasing a new book? Because I would read that

>>149150558
It's difficult to fit the fourth world linearly into continuity since it is outside the multiverse but the rebirth Green Lanterns run had a denizen of the third world be one of the first green lanterns.

>>149151025
The new Zatanna book has teased it already.

>>149149859

>>149149352
I still find it weird that Hyppolita hanged out with the JSA as the first Wondy. Cool that they can explain Dinah Sr. but anyway did Joan Garrick get affected along with the JSA or how come she's still around like them?

>>149149290
This is also false. Atlantis was not sank in the Deluge. It sank over a thousand years, beginning with the City of the Golden Gate at the end of Arion's reign as High Mage, and finally with the coming of the 'Red Moon Gods' the last cities Poseidonis and Tritonis sank 50,000 years ago, approximately 30,000 or so years before the Deluge.

>>149149293
>>149150616
Very wrong. Not only does the origin of mankind obviously predate Atlantis, the lore established in Arion is that all modern races and cultures of man were precursored there, somehow.

>>149150798
Like you say. But then, post New 52 had that Ystina from Demon Knights, whose origin I'm not sure of, but I know that can't be the same Ystina from Seven Soldiers, since that was a woman and this is a hermaphrodite.

So who the fuck knows. I prefer the Seven Soldiers Ystina and ancient Camelot, as they're a lot more interesting than anything else, but leave it to Waid to fuck with something good and make it shit.

>>149152303
After reading the next page, my question/criticism remains.

>>149149733
>>149149748

When crisis happened and Earth 2 WW removed from continuity (but her daughter Lyta still being around in Infinity Inc), Roy Thomas made a Golden Age Fury to be Lyta's mom in Young All Stars, though with the caveat that Miss America (who died off panel in All Star Squadron but was brought back post Crisis in) raised Lyta after Helena died under "mysterious circumstances"; with Roy then waffling back and forth on whether or not Helena or Miss America took WW's JSA spot (made kore complicated when James Robertson killled Miss America off in the ambiguously canon Golden Age).

When Neil Gainan stole Lyta from Roy Thomas and banned writers from writing her, Helena became apocrypha especially after Byrne retconned Hypolyta having traveled back in time and became the Golden Age WW and JSA WW. It wasn't until the early 00s that Roy Thomas and Phil Jimenez used the fact Neil was too busy beefing with Todd McFarlane, to bring Helena back to canon as a demonic looking Fury hero

>>149152064
She’ll appear with her older Superman during the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Then older Superman goes away and she left on main Earth. Our Superman is grieving the death of Supergirl.
So Superman and Powergirl grieve together.

Supergirl is later resurrected by Darkseid and the Female Furies.

>>149152382
Not all members in each of these team snippets are shown.

>>149149748
Pre-Crisis, Infinity Inc.'s Fury was Hippolyta Trevor, daughter of Steve Trevor and Wonder Woman on Earth-2. Post-Crisis, Lyta Trevor was the daughter of the original Fury, Helena Kosmatos, who was created to replace Wonder Woman in WW2 era stories like All-Star Squadron after the '80s reboot.

>>149149330
>>149150914
Nauck’s push I believe.
But look. They included the Newsboy Legion Clones who specifically from the modern age since Famous Bobbie is there. But they didn’t include Secret, the only other modern age character taken from the time stream in Geoff’s Stargirl miniseries.

>>149151195
Yes. There was an arc in SMT where Blackhawk comes to the US to try and get liberals to fund Polish resistance to the Nazi invasion and is treated like a huge celebrity amongst the wealthy elite of NYC, with women wanting to fuck him and men copying his Tom of Finland look. The story has Wes agree to front him the money to create the Blackhawk organization and Blackhawk realizing that celebrity is the first disgrace, leading to the arc ending with Blackhawk faking his death after returning to Poland after a failed assassination attempt.

>>149150914
Well, Waid is using the weird cryptid Golden Age Kid Air-Wave in JLU, so he's gotta acknowledge the others he came with.
Only question is if he's going to acknowledge the Air-Wave that's Hal's cousin.

>>149149276
So, have they now officially retconned that it's not Anti-Moniter's hand from COIE sticking out of the Beginning of Time?

I would literally retcon my own OC donut steel team into the DC’s 1980s-1990s, ending with a great battle in 1999. Before the current Dawn of Heroes.

>>149153025
I thought that was always the Great Evil Beast?

>>149152957
Yeah, All Star Squadron could use its Golden Age Air-Wave with the talking parrot and ability to roller-skate on telephone wires.

Tsunami would probably cheat on Neptune Perkins with him, and then his disappearance may have something to do with that in retaliation. Nobody seems to care what became of Adam Waterman, and forgets he existed.

>>149149979
>>that weird ancient Justice League with Black Adam, Hippolytta and Swamp Thing not mentioned
It's so funny how the Black Adam movie flubbed so hard, they're trying to memoryhole every single event promoting him since his movie was announced.

>>149153359
There's also that weird Obsidian Age JLA from 3000 BC that got forgotten.

>>149149349
I'm glad that Occult is getting more love

>>149149276
>>149149279
Synnar the Demiurge did that.

>>149153168
To be fair, he and rRose Psychic were born in 1899 in the countryside.
And we never knew Occult and Rose’s birth names.

>>149153254
It says here now that Richard Occult dawning a costume is considered the first superhero now before any of them.

>>149153407
As well as the Leymen. We got a bunch of fake mystic 'teams' instead.
In fact, everything about Dr Mist was forgotten. His civilization of Kor was contemporary with Atlantis and came from the same precursor civilization.

>>149153460
That's been said before, too. However, all of his 'costumed' adventures were secret mystic affairs, so he was never known publicly as such and is not officially recognized. The Justice League even has a swearing-in ritual over the cloak of the Crimson Avenger as the recognized first costumed superhero.

Kirby's original original idea for the New Gods is that the Old Gods were explicitly suppose to be the Norse and Greek Gods (you can even see someone with Thor's helmet in the splash page for New Gods #1).
Once he brought the concept to DC, they just became nondescript "Old Gods" until they got named, because the Greek Gods were very obviously still around for Wonder Woman.

I'm glad they finally decided that Hellblazer was definitively canon. Iirc, New 52/Rebirth John remembered his Vertigo history a while back and had a bit of a schizo moment.

>>149153254
>The Clock
Holy shit, I'm surprised that ever since DC bought Quality Comics, there's been zero mention of him anywhere in continuity. The only thing he has is a brief mention in Shade's diary and that was Pre-New 52.

>>149149376
GAY GHOST MENTIONED

>>149152382
They're pulling the technicality that Dr. Occult was printed first and wore a costume at some point, so they're using that as excuse to make his the first.

At least Crimson Avenger shows up as a member of the OC Seven Soldiers of Victory, but its in his stupid superhero outfit and not his original mystery man one.

>>149149337
I mean, it's only the coolest and most interesting Wonder Woman and her supporting cast and villains have been since Perez or so, and more than anything after.

Of course it can't stay canon.

The demon knights Ystina mentioned being thousands of years old as well.
>>149153025
The Anti Monitor was replacing the original hand at this point.

>>149153735
Dr Occult was also a Seigel & Schuster creation, so it's a technical nod to Superman as well. Doesn't explain or permit omitting the other previously recognized in continuity first characters.

The Leymen are a group of mystics gathered by Nommo/Maltis/Dr Mist in various times to observe and protect the world. They have no relation to the UN organisation Global Guardians.

>>149154106
I mean, he's clearly trying to just do in four issues what the original History of the DC Universe did in two, but a genuine ACTUAL History that spruces up continuity while acknowledging all possible connections would take several hundred pages with footnotes.

The REAL Demon Souls is going to be how they handle each Crisis and New 52. We've all been more or less in agreement with "Creation -> The Guardians of the Universe -> Atlantis -> Wild West -> Mystery Men -> JSA/All Star Squardon -> JSA disbands -> Weird Ages -> Justice League", so everything after that is going to be where people will have the most arguments.

>>149149282
The Controllers classically are solo actors. They each individually develop weaponry to control against entropy, then get together in consortium once every millennium to compare notes and do demicosmic peer review. It was a single Controller named Jedah who created the Darkstars.
Waid used to know this when he created Know Man. Very ironic.

>>149153687
Does this mean the Aboriginal Wizard is the father of Lady Blaze and Satanis?

>>149153557
Looks like Barry Allen doesn’t agree with you.

>>149154245
I don't really care rn, given all the blatant errors in the first issue. It's not even a story, just an improbable infodump from a character who has no relationship with any of this information. It's all highly discountable imho.

>>149154277
I have a feeling that anything old Shazam did is going to be shuffled onto The Wiz's other Eternity buddies.

>>149154290
Barry Allen has no relationship with this information, so his interpretation is pretty meaningless.

>>149150476
>with John Constantine being fucking dead now.
He literally escapes Death at the end of it. Sure it's intentionally ambiguous ("How do you confuse an anxious reader?"), but it's clearly meant to leave the door open for John to pop up alive again.

Not that it matters, since this isn't actually John.
It's not John from the old Hellblazer, and it's not the "Slightly Sleazy Dr Strange" John from the DC magic team books.
He's the John from the bad future from the Books of Magic mini, who escaped into the present and somehow absorbed a vague mixture of the "real" Johns' memories.

What pisses me off the most is how messy it is with continuity. it tries to continue the old Hellblazer continuity, but it's not the real John, and the Old John that shows up is also not the Old John from the end of Hellblazer, instead it fakes it out and turns out to be a Tulpa; it also doesn't continue the Books of Magic continuity (because Sandman Universe reboots it from the Mini onwards), which was entangled with the old Hellblazer continuity.

It's all lazy and confusing and deceptive and lacking in commitment.

It's a fool's errand to compile this shit.

I don't know what's more autistic: Waid doing an entire book to create his own new and totally true (until the next retcon in six months) history of the DCU or the retards sperging out ITT because this new canon contradicts all the pieces of contradictory old canon.

I'm surprised about Icon because somewhat recently, DC put all the Milestone characters in their own new separate universe, Earth M.
It seemed like this meant they weren't part of Earth 0, guess not.

The casuals ITT were speculating as to whether Wildstorm IPs would get merged into the DC timeline at all. If they read Demon Knights (a series about Engineers and Daemonites and Stormwatch), they would know this issue already confirmed it, ergo they are casuals.

>>149155042
Sure, but he has no relationship to any knowledge concerning the Endless, the Silver City, the origins of literally anything, the history of Atlantis, etc etc. He's an unreliable info-dumper, not even a narrator.

>>149155072
You're the casual just lapping up words with no understanding of meaning and no argument. Go back to skimming your wikis, faggot troll.

>>149155065
That's why it took his ass so long to finally write it down.

Joking aside, they've been needing to do a new History of the DCU for a while now, because people are still uncertain as to how New 52's continuity fits into everything. Hell, people still think that Convergence is what created to new Multi-Multiverse instead of the current main 52 Earths now being the homes of distinct previous continuities. The only problem is that we live in the Event Age of Comics, so this will definitely all be pointless this time next year.

I can only presume that this is how Barry understands how the current continuity works as it does in this new reality amidst the multiple reboots triggered by the crises they keep having.

>>149155178
Sorry, Socretes.
Barry makes a point to specify that the planet is Urgrund so that you know the name of the planet the New God's planets came from. Otherwise, if you just say "their world", it can be misinterpreted into any number of things.
Were they the Old Gods of Oa? Earth? Of the Controllers? The Zamorans?

Maybe he interviewed Tim Hunter, or asked Phantom Stranger to give him the tour

Speaking of which, where's Phantom Stranger in all this?

>>149155275
Because you obviously don't read WildStorm or know it from the hole in your ass. If you did, you wouldn't be confusing the Engineer with the line of Doctors. The original Engineer was part of the High's Changers and created the nano garden that Angelica used to create her suit. It's not a 'line' like the Doctors. And Al Jabr is strictly a DC creation.
Now fuck off and kill yourself.

>>149155352
You must be retarded. The conversation isn't about whether they're merging the OG Wildstorm canon, that's gone, buddy. The question anons were asking ITT was whether the new DCU timeline would incorporate Wildstorm IPs, which inherently includes adaptation. And the question doesn't make sense, because the mention of the Demon Knights already demostrates Wildstorm made it in.
I've read every Wildstorm comic, btw. Pic related, chart I made.

>>149155352
>>149155382
You both are wrong and gay

>>149155382
Nta but it could be more related to what >>149155238 claimed where Barry is interpreting continuity as it currently stands in the new universe. Maybe the crises aren't supposed to be part of that because it would require outside understanding of how all continuities integrate with each other from the very beginning.

>>149155428
The closest we have to that is probably the Metaverse from Doomsday Clock, but even then, it only focuses on Superman's history and not a total and complete timeline of every single point across DC's history, including the reboots, up to that point.

For that, you'd probably have to start from the original setting until you reach Crisis on Infinite Earths, reset again with the new setting, and do that for each crisis or reboot or change to Hypertime or whatever. It'd be way too big of a mess to properly do them.

>>149155382
If it wasn't published under the WildStorm logo, it's not WildStorm, period. AlJabr and Demon Knights are purely DC and bear no relation to WildStorm (which is not gone, chum, only resting). And your chart is gay. Kill yourself.

>>149149979
Great Darkness and Presence are not mentioned. No Dark Multiverse and two sides of Magic mentioned. Krona completely absent. The other Monitors are not mentioned either.

Endless and Lucifer finally mentioned and seemingly relevant to the mainstream cosmology though.

>>149155179
The visitation of the New Gods that culminates with the creation of Aurakles is 40,000 BC

>>149155613
>>149155179
40,000 BC - 30,000 years = 10,000 BC for her Camelot, which is roughly 11,000 years before Justin. She was contemporaneous with neolithic cultures AKA cavemen.

>>149155460
This entire argument could have been avoided if you said "I don't recognize anything that DC did with the Wildstorm characters or their continuity after Wildstorm was purchased by DC." from the start.

You're both correct in that, within DC continuity, the Demon Knights were the original Storm Watch team, with Daemonites being an age-old threat on Earth, but this is NOT the case in Wildstorm's original continuity.

Not either of the arguing anons. When I was wondering about Wildstorm being included, I meant the events of the original Wildstorm books, not the new lore that was established when Wildstorm characters were fused into DC history.
What I mean, how do the events of Captain Atom Armageddon make sense in the current continuity if Apollo and Midnighter and others have always been the natives of the main DC universe? Does the original Wildstorm universe even exist still? Are the W.I.L.D.cats and Stormwatch and other guys who fuck around in DC nowadays the original guys who were in-universe retroactively integrated into the story or are they completely new beings who exist separately?

>>149154774
This reminds me of the guy who set out to specify when the "Original Marvel Universe" stopped being printed.

>>149155735
Wildstorm's continuity is much like the continuities of Charlton, All-American Comics, and Quality Comics. That is to say, their characters were fully merged into DC, so they no longer HAVE separate continuities. They don't even get the courtesy of having their original continuity live on in another Earth like Fawcett does with Earth 5.

>>149155942
>so they no longer HAVE separate continuities
And yet Convergence showed characters from original Wildstorm continuity among Brainiac's captives. And for a more recent example, as non-canon as it is since it was a Black Lable book, refuges from original Wildstorm continuity appeared in Lobo vs Superman. So it's not like DC buried the idea of a separate continuity entirely. Especially now that the multiverse isn't capped at 52 it can still plausibly be out there somewhere.

>>149149282
That's a succinct way of saying the Manhunters when a spree of galactic genocide

>>149156039
Convergence also had the pre-New 52 continuity going on like nothing had happened, too. There's one random Rip Hunter comic that explains that, if you go back in time at the right angle, all other continuities still exist.

Then again, DC acted like Convergence never happened and no-one seems to get what the ending meant by "The Multiverse was saved".

>>149156114
Maybe it wasn't that bad this time around?

>>149155817

>>149156144
>hen again, DC acted like Convergence never happened
ehhh...
Convergence is basically the whole reason why post-crisis Superman, Lois and Jon came back to continuity. Parallax Hal's appearance when he faced Renegade Hal also stemmed directly from Convergence. No clue where Barry and pre-crisis Supergirl ended up afterwards tho.
There was also that very short Telos book.

>>149149279
Huh. Definitively stating a Spectre origin? Bold.

>>149155601
>Endless and Lucifer finally mentioned and seemingly relevant to the mainstream cosmology though.
Dream had a role in Metal and Lucifer had a cameo in Dark Crisis as an avatar of the great darkness.
>Presence and Great Darkness
The Presence and the Source are interchangeable these days. The Great Darkness but like the Marvel one this one covers the events since the universe began, not before. So no TOAA/TOBA, first firmament, Taa, or in DC's side the Great Darkness and the Morrisonian origin of stories and the monitors.

it's extremely easy to make Diana be Wonder Woman in WWII and contemporary (if that's really necessary) and also have Steve exist during both eras (one of the reasons people bring up having her in WWII is a bad idea is because she would her supporting cast later)

Krona will be mentioned in Part 2, Barry will Acknowledge JLA Avengers as the "main point" where Krona shows up in both universes.

Has Waid said if it’ll go into the future or will it stop at the “present”? Barry has Legion rings on that first page that I’m assuming are Dawn and Dons but who knows.

Also, i like the artists, but the history loses a lot with Javier Rodriguez not doing his thing

It’s darkly funny how they’re just like fuck you Gaiman, Sandman’s ours

>>149149285

How did he mention Scott and Orion and not The Pact?!?

>>149149320

Dr Occult being the first canon superhero of the 20th century feels like a reference I don’t get

>>149159396
According to other replies here seems to be a homage to Siegel and Shuster, which the art would indicate in that page

>>149149330

Oh man I need the series about time displaced Green Arrow.

>>149159396
Doc. Savage doesnt count as a Superhero

>>149151138

Captain Atom too, his post crisis origin fits right in. I’m actually surprised Eiling wasn’t in that group in this issue

>>149159396
In canon, he was published first before Superman was so for all of the hype around Superman being “the first” of the superheroes, Dr. Occult takes it only by sheer technicality of publishing date.

>>149149320
I just don't think he counts as the first superhero, mainly because of what we "expect" a superhero to be nowadays.
Like, come on, he's not even wearing a costume!

>>149159690
That's the point, he wore a costume initially.

>>149159396
He debuted before Superman did, and only because he had worn a costume once very briefly which made him the first superhero by technicality

There’s also a bunch of other characters that debuted before Superman did and Imm a little surprised so e of them weren’t referenced or mentioned here: https://www.dc.com/blog/2021/09/07/early-inspirations-five-dc-characters-who-debuted-before-superman

>>149159717
He did? They should've shown that!
>>149159762
Uhhh... I now get why they didn't show this...
Still, they should've shown it, for accuracy if nothing else, just showing him in his trench coat can make people like me assume that he was just another pulp type of hero instead of the first example of what we consider a modern superhero today.

Orphans 'adopted' by the mystical Seven. They're frequently romantically linked, despite their condition, so hopefully nobody goes there.

>>149159998
>>149160122
Hold your horses buckos, actually reading through the whole thing would make you realize Red Bee gets a mention right here >>149149379

>>149160122
He conspicuously didn't touch anything without a cape, it seems. So much for that promotional art with all the forties characters.

>>149160122
The absence of Binky and co is quite conspicuous.

>>149149270 (OP)
i will read it tomorrow, thanks anon, is this just a fun standalone special edition?

>>149160355
This is a 4 issue mini.
I honestly wish they could've made 6 issues at least, but oh well.

>>149160371
cool. the thread will probably be archived when i read it but thank you again, it's just like last week in the trinity daugther of wonder woman thread, it was a fund read

>>149160181
And it needs to be since trinity will be mentioned too.
Remember that this crossover is still canon.

>>149160371
>This is a 4 issue mini.
…they’re going to cover the Crises, aren’t they?

>>149160432
I mean, why wouldn't they? They are in fact part of DC's history.

>>149160432
I hope we get a page for every event crossover.

>>149159762
Finished the whole thing, Sandra of the Secret Service and Speed Saunders were the only ones who didn't get mentioned.
Jack Woods is here >>149149318
Doctor Occult is here >>149149320
And Slam Bradley gets a short mention at the very end >>149149389

>>149160503
Actually, Speed was mentioned. It was only Sandra who didn’t get mentioned at all.

>>149160541
Where? I must've missed him, I kinda speed read through the last pages.

Did your favorite Glup Shitto make it in?

>>149160541
>It was only Sandra who didn’t get mentioned at all.
That's how Secret her Service was!

>>149160541
It’s not like Barry knows who she is.

>>149149356
>Martian Manhunter is teleported from Mars
>Krypton explodes
>>149149376
>they elaborate on how Ma'alefa'ak destroyed the Martian society
>>149149389
>Krypton just explodes
I know next book will probably cover it in good detail, but I wonder what Waid will use as the explanation for the planet exploding.
Imagine he fucking uses Rogol Zaar

Doesn't this just make it harder to write new characters into the comic universe? What's the point of this? I'm autistic so I understand wanting to make a cohesive chronology of events but even this seems too autistic to me. Is this just for dweebs to push their glasses up and go "eeerm, ackchually, superdookieman fought captain burgerstan and the green gizzard in the paradox of time and was transported to the beginning of time where he fucked the concept of fate and then blew the entire universe out of his ass creating the new crusaders!" It just seems like a waste of time to me.

>>149160547
He was brought up here
>>149149376

>>149149349
Putting dark at the end of the team name is still stupid

>>149160681
These are only narrated by Barry Allen and what he knows.
Barry doesn’t know everything.
Writers can still introduce new characters and concepts from the past.

>>149160681
Well, Barry Allen is the one cataloguing his own personal experience traveling through time, he lacks the background knowledge and context behind some of the other events.

Also he left out some characters a bunch of anons have mentioned so he’s not exactly going to be perfectly archiving every single person, if any, it just leaves the door open for others to fit their own characters and stories right in the timeline, just that certain events can’t be retconned out without either editorial mandate or through the next reboot of their continuity.

I don't see why the entire dcu should be beholdended to gaimans nonsense

>>149160963
It’s not. If it were, Barry would’ve mentioned the Endless’ parents like Mother Night and Father Time.

>>149160686
Nice catch, I didn't see it at first.

>>149160605
Oh yeah, how does Barry even know most of this shit?
>>149160706
Just be glad Teen Titans Dark never ended up happening.

>>149160681
You're just not a history type of autist, it's okay.
>>149160681
>eeerm, ackchually, superdookieman fought captain burgerstan and the green gizzard in the paradox of time and was transported to the beginning of time where he fucked the concept of fate and then blew the entire universe out of his ass creating the new crusaders!
You saying that like it's a bad thing only proves my point further, this is fun actually.

>>149149270 (OP)
What's the point of this when someone is just going to retcon it within the year?

>>149160681
>It just seems like a waste of time to me.
History is never a waste of time, at least for people who are into that kind of stuff.

>>149161131
What's the point of anything? It's just interesting to read right now.
I know it probably won't stay accurate, but I don't mind, DC has done many "definitive" histories before, and I actually like how they all kinda represent the time period they were made in.
DC's constantly changing history is actually a feature, not a bug, look forward to The Newer History of the DC Universe in 2032.

>>149156323
DC has done many Encyclopedia style books where they all try to catalogue every character they have, but they all end up being more products of their times than these ones about their history, mainly because how the characters change when they get rebooted, so DC is constantly ignoring or acknowledging random stuff.

>>149160346
>The Ghost was never Gay

>>149152735
we can have a crossover event without them being in the same universe anon, god knows DC is trigger-happy with multiversal stories every single year now

>>149149273
reading

>>149160432
why was that ever in doubt?

>>149162023
Mostly because of the lack of any concrete confirmation of any of the original origins of the multiverse without Snyder’s shit clinging to it

>>149153709
>New 52/Rebirth John remembered his Vertigo history a while back and had a bit of a schizo moment.

When did this happen?

>>149154178
It was so weirdly hostile to Dream himself, it sure felt like it was written (or re-written) after the scandal broke. Spurrier is a noted male feminist after all.

>>149149276
I thought Snyder established that the big blue hands were Perpetua's hands

>>149153428
No one wants to bother with Starlin's latest Thanos expy, in his latest Guardians Expy book. It was all crap anyway.

>>149154717
>>Anons shocked that Sandman is part of DC history or that he's related to Wesley

Anyone who actually read Sandman knew it was meant to be a DCU book. It was DC itself that pretended otherwise for the longest time.

>>149149279
>>149149280
They forgot about Nekron being the living embodiment of the darkness before the big bang.

>>149149309
Ram V's Orghams being Ra's Masters before. One good thing Waid is doing here, wiping them from memory before that book is cold.

>>149149273
Somehow Barry owns Irving Forbush's helmet.

>>149149297
I was kind of hoping they would reference how there were a lot of superheroes and villains in Egypt around the time of Khufu.

They had a Hawkman, Hawkwoman, Black Adam, Metamorpho, Dr Fate, and a Blue Beetle.

>>149149326
Nah, they were changed to angels sent to kill off all mortals that were reincarnated as Thanagarians in the last Hawkman book around 2019.

>>149149315
I thought Max was retconned out of existence about a decade ago

>>149149577
It's kind of difficult to omit Death Metal and Sandman after Dream (David Hall) made an appearance in that story.

I'm guessing that the next issue will detail the Crises.

>>149162628
Anon when was the last time you read a comic?

>>149149979
>Krona accidentally creating entropy in the universe
>The darkness before the big bang gained sentience after the big bang and formed into Nekron

>>149154717
>Anons doing Pikachu faces at Icon being a part of Prime Earth like he's been for over a decade
It was widely announced that Milestone characters wouldn't appear outside the Dakotaverse after the Milestone Returns relaunch. Casual.

>>149149279
Uh, did they just completely retcon the Lords of Order and Chaos’ backstory in JLD? Imposter human sorcerers.

>>149163246
>It was widely announced that Milestone characters wouldn't appear outside the Dakotaverse after the Milestone Returns relaunch. Casual.
they obviously changed their mind about that and/or were lying when they said that

>>149163430
>they obviously changed their mind
Probably this, because let's be real, most people don't give a shit about the Milestone universe on its own and would rather see it as part of the larger DC universe.

>>149163430
exactly, so readers being surprised at them not sticking to their word is perfectly fine, so I dont understand why the greentext fag considers it some gotcha against casuals

As someone who is a neophyte when it comes to DC's old stories outside of the big ones I get the feeling that a bunch of their 70s era magic and fantasy was taken straight from Moorcock with all the Chaos vs Order going on.

>>149162516
V tec run didn't really work in the ongoing continuity at the time anyway, just treat it as its own closed-off story

>>149163500
Moorcock had a lot of imitators and copycats, most famous of them being Witcher

>>149162840
This thread?

>>149163812
Warhammer's Moorcock connections are probably more well-known than The Witchers at this point unless you're Polish.

>>149163843
not really, Warhammer is the bigger franchise sure but Witcher's reputation as blatantly lifting stuff from Moorcock is more known

>>149163855
I disagree here, outside of Gerelt himself being an Elric expy, I don't think most people would be able to say what the Moorcock inspirations are in Wticher, whereas Warhammer has Chaos being the main badguy in all its settings and several Elric expys per setting and is just more blatant in's use of Moorcock's ideas

>>149163978
Geralt isn't even a Elric expy. They have white hair and they consume magic potions, that's where their likeness begins and ends.

Geralt fucks, Elric is borderline autistic. Geralt is buff, Elric is a skeleton. Elric has a demon sword with which he needs to kill and steal souls to survive, Geralt has two "normal" swords (one steel and one silver) and can survive just fine with just food and water.

>Perpetua is still canon
Oh fuck OFF.

>>149163662
Or just ignore it was ever published at all because Ram has never written a good comic in his career.

Oh, but he knows everything else?

>>149149356

Stagg being here is interesting bc he’s not a scientist

>>149170285
He dabbles a bit, but I assume he's mainly there for his money.

Waid is retconning the history for current purposes, anons, so obviously he knows there are changes being made from what used to be canonical. Which is fair, since it's already been changed multiple times over the decades. This is also going to be retconned later too.

>>149170285
Archeology is a science, anon.

>>149163500
The 70's were all Zatanna and Phantom Stranger, with Magic Wars in the 30th century. It isn't until the 80's that the Order vs Chaos narrative sets in.

>>149154774
thanks for this as well, interesting except for including (even if minor) Snyder's fan fic (metalwank)

Some Hawk superfan found out Waid used a fucking weebly site for the Hawk lore and got a lot of shit wrong

>>149173727
I know exactly who you're talking about, there aren't many Hawk fans out there, but I'm glad there are some very autistic ones out there.

>>149149293

>>149175645
I feel like the biggest flaw about comic twitter (or comic tiktok for the matter) is the performative shit about being avid readers but only reading a handful of issues or having the wrong headcanons stemming from stupidly written books (Tower of Babel comes to mind). of course this isn't a rarity on /co/ but it's worse there

>Hawkman isn’t entirely blacked.

Comics is saved.

>>149178392
Don’t worry.
Hawkwoman will be properly blacked by John Stewart.

>>149176344
the problem with comic twitter is that too many people will easily lie and upvote nonsense because they have axes to grind or their own agenda, and not even sincere about it, or even because they would say profit from it, but just for the LOLZ in some cases

no clue or care about comic tiktok since my balls have actually dropped

>>149151481
>one anon who put together a storytime made up of different pages of the entire DC history
I just downloaded the IMGUR files since they are high res and zipped it up and read it.
The problem is that it's not an "entire" history of DC, but rather a start to finish of cosmic existence, that touches in part on some aspects of the DCU History (e.g. Earth One, Earth Two, COIE, etc. etc.) - there's a lot of history missing, it's not even really macro history and it's certainly not micro history (not that Waid's does any better.

>>149149270 (OP)
Needs to be longer than four issues. This is highlights. Ken Burns would consider it vastly incomplete, under-researched and essentially a highlights reel.

But thanks for doing the leg work of the storytime!

>>149179405
It should be six issues and an actual story rather than an awkward info-dump. I know not everything is going to fit in, and that's fine.

>>149179483
>I know not everything is going to fit in, and that's fine
you can think that, but that's the purpose of the comic and it'd just make it useless. being an infodump is exactly what it's intended to be, anything else is a half-measure

>>149179566
Literally every attempt at a History of the DC universe has been incomplete, because said history always has and always will be incomplete. It's the essence of 'to be continued...'
What you're looking for is an encyclopedia, not a comic book.

>>149173727
But why did Waid say >>149149298
Khufu and Chau-Ara were from Thanagar?

>>149179645

Because how do you fit Wildstorm into main continuity?

>>149180455
this isn't new anon

>>149180612
Say the Daimonites and Kherubim Wars in outer space caused some of them to crash land on Earth thousands of years ago.
The government started experimenting on soldiers after Vietnam War, Including Gen 12.

>>149149389
Since fucking when is King Farraday an Argent operative? Pretty sure Argent hasn't been seen or mentioned since their story in Ostrander's Suicide Squad. Farraday was the only agent in Sarge Steel's CBI at the time (as detailed in the 90's Danger Trail mini).

>>149180612
You don't. WildStorm needs to be it's own universe, restored.

Oh hey a storytime of a new comic actually reached bump limit, this doesn't usually happy.

>>149181247
Most comics are thin, hackneyed rags, with the only discussion worthy thing being the last page sting/reveal/cliffhanger.
