DC Day: This Month, in the History of the DC Universe, the Flashes Outrace the Black Racer and the Omega Effect Killing Darkseid

 

DC DAY

Flashback FM

IN FRANCHISES, COMIC VALUES AND COLLECTIONS

In 1986, DC Comics published History of the DC Universe. Importantly, the comic changed continuity and introduced a single, unified DC Universe with a shared history. In addition, the DC multiverse was erased from continuity with the five remaining Earths after Crisis On Infinite Earths merging into New Earth. In the Pre-Crisis universe, DC Comics introduced Darkseid as a Superman villain.

This March, we remember the death of Darkseid in the iconic event Final Crisis #7. Today, we celebrate Final Crisis and major character deaths.

THE FLASHES AND BLACK RACER KILL DARKSEID

Perhaps, Final Crisis (2009) #7, is the most cryptic of the Morrison saga. Though the Supermen of the Multiverse save the DC multiverse, there are some loose ends that need resolution. Moreover, the comic is set in the Post-Crisis continuity though it anticipates the New 52. Importantly, the comic features the infamous death of Darkseid killed by Barry Allen, Wally West, the Omega Effect and the Black Racer. And after Boss Dark Side is shot by Batman’s radion bullet. Certainly, that is the reason how according to Comichron the comic performed with 109,400 unit sales in the year 2009.


DARKSEID KILLS BATMAN WITH THE OMEGA EFFECT

Certainly, the major death in the entire series. With a move that no one sees coming, DC Comics actually kills Batman. After Dick Grayson survived Infinite Crisis, it was time for a Bat-family member to die. Perhaps, the death is not a major news sensation though a very significant event in comicdom. In Final Crisis (2009) #6, the DC multiverse is at stake.

THE DEATH OF ORION IS FINAL CRISIS‘ MURDER MYSTERY

Importantly, Final Crisis is a murder mystery. Incredibly, Morrison weaves a threaded tapestry of gods, heroes and villains where the murder of Orion is the impetus for the conflict. Certainly, Final Crisis (2008) #1 is at number 9 on 2008 comic book sales to comic shops. In addition, in a death that angered fans, the Martian Manhunter also dies tragically.

THE MONITOR RACE IS ERASED

In Final Crisis (2009) #7, another major series of deaths occurs. With the passing of the multiverse, the Monitors are erased from existence. Perhaps, a warning that DC intended for Final Crisis to end the idea of a multiverse. SEE my ebook for more information.

IN FRANCHISES, COMIC VALUES AND COLLECTIONS

In 1986, DC Comics published History of the DC Universe. Importantly, the comic changed continuity and introduced a single, unified DC Universe with a shared history. In addition, the DC multiverse was erased from continuity with the five remaining Earths after Crisis On Infinite Earths merging into New Earth. In the Pre-Crisis universe, DC Comics introduced Hal Jordan as opposed to Alan Scott.

This January, the Green Lantern series hit a 100th-issue milestone with a double-sized comic featuring Hal Jordan published in 1978. Today, we celebrate Green Lantern.

GREEN LANTERN REACHES A MILESTONE

In Green Lantern (1978) #100, Green Lantern hits a milestone issue. In a double-sized comic by Dennis O’Neil and Alex Saviuk, Green Lantern has to stop a foreign terrorist named Master Tek. Moreover, the comic is set in the Pre-Crisis continuity on Earth-One. Also, the comic features the first appearance of Air Wave, Hal’s cousin. Importantly, the hero is one of the few characters that also share the name Hal Jordan like Green Lantern.

IN THE SECOND STORY, OLIVER QUEEN AGREES TO RUN FOR MAYOR

In “Beware the Blazing Inferno,” the second story, Oliver Queen agrees to run for mayor. In the issue, Green Arrow, Black Canary and Speedy (Roy Harper) stop the Blazing Infernos street gang in the latest Star City bombings. After, Mayor Jack Mayor deduces that Oliver Queen is Green Arrow and convinces him to run for mayor.

FIVE IDEAS TO CELEBRATE BLACK ADAM

Number 5. Collect the Action Comics (2005) #831 single issue. It showcases the best Superman vs Black Adam battle in the Modern Age of comics.

Number 4. Watch the Shazam! (2019) movie. Since Black Adam is a spin-off, you can get a background on the movie’s plot and its continuity.

Number 3. Since anticipation of a Superman vs Black Adam showdown is high, watch the animated original short-film titled Superman/Shazam!: The Return of Black Adam on a potential Superman/Shazam duo against the anti-hero.

Number 2. Collectors love the McFarlane Toys titled the DC Direct BLACK ADAM by Jim Lee 12” Statue. And we can believe why. It’s iconic! Visit our link to buy it on Amazon.

Number 1. Our best idea is self-explanatory. Go to the theaters and watch the movie. Visit the Release Info for international release dates.

RECOMMENDATION:

Watch the Black Adam movie and celebrate the DC Extended Universe.

Injustice 2: Who Has The Best Comic-Accurate Fighting Techniques?

 

INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US

THUNDERONE

IN Franchises, Comic Values And Collections

*In celebration of Independence Day, we go over the best fighting techniques in Injustice 2 for PS4 and Xbox One.

THE BEST FIGHTING VIDEO GAME

Injustice 2. WB Games.

The Injustice: Gods Among Us video game series has been both a financial and a critical success for WB Games.

Based on the popular comic franchise titled Injustice: Gods Among Us, the series centers on the events after Joker brutally kills Lois Lane, Superman becomes evil and sets up a tyrannical Regime on Earth. And Batman forms a coalition of heroes to oppose Superman’s Regime.

In the Injustice 2 sequel, the Insurgency has stopped Superman and his forces. However, they enlist the evil Superman‘s help when Brainiac attempts to collect the Earth.

According to reviews by MetaCritic, the sequel has improved gameplay and mechanics though other reviews criticize the plot. At MetaCritic, the PS4 and Xbox One versions have 87/100 and 89/100.

Since we are interested in the fighting game, let’s rate the main characters’ fighting techniques and how they compare to the comic. For the most part, we are interested in strength, speed, and damage.

So, from our video above, let’s find out which Injustice 2 character has the most comic-accurate fighting technique.

5. COMIC-ACCURATE: DARKSEID

Generally, Darkseid’s fighting moves are inspired from the classic Bronze Age version though his costume and powerset take some inspiration from the New 52.

Really, Darkseid is imposing and his fighting moves make for some economy of movements, with strength, power and size. With his imposing physique, Darkseid can deal up to 40 hits of combos with at more than two-thirds of your life bar.

Certainly, his Omega Beams are his finishing moves showing that he may be the best for defensive-minded players who like to deal maximum damage in a few moves.

VERDICT: COMIC-ACCURATE


Mr. Alucard

4. COMIC-ACCURATE: BATMAN

Usually, Batman uses shadows, deception and technology to defeat his opponents. In fact, his fighting stance is usually a crouching, mysterious and exploiting technique.

Since Injustice is influenced by the Elseworld and its armored characters, Batman’s fighting techniques show a more offensive-minded and open-combat Batman. In fact, his techniques reflects the comic more accurately.

And Batman’s grappling hook is the difference-maker. Effectively, he uses it offensively to trap his opponent and throw him/her across distances. Certainly, moves reminiscent of Batman v Superman. With 40 hits, Batman can cost more than two-thirds of your life.

VERDICT: COMIC-ACCURATE

3. COMIC-ACCURATE: DOCTOR FATE’S SPELL OF JUDGMENT

With the Black Adam movie, Doctor Fate and the JSA are getting some interest. Though the powerhouse is not well-known, his appearance in the game is very comic-accurate. In fact, Doctor Fate is a playable anti-hero in the game.

And this video game separates itself with the improved gameplay and design. Though Doctor Fate’s Spell of Judgment combos only deal 14 Hits, they damage about two-thirds of a life bar. What is special about his fighting techniques is that they accurately reflect the comics.

VERDICT: MORE COMIC-ACCURATE

2. COMIC-ACCURATE: SUPERMAN’S SPEEDING BULLET

Perhaps, one disappointment from Injustice 2 is the downplay in Superman’s combos in terms of hits, strength and damage. The first game featured Superman‘s Flying Ground Smash and other special moves.

However, our game shows moves more consistent with Superman’s fighting techniques Post-Crisis. Usually, Superman uses a lot of haymakers, crosses and bullrushes at super speed. At the same time, this reflects an aged and powered-down Superman.

Neverthless, the fallen hero still deals about half the damage in 14 hits.

VERDICT: MORE COMIC-ACCURATE

1. COMIC-ACCURATE: FLASH’S LIGHTNING PUNCHES

Before, we published an article about Flash’s lightning punches. In fact, the article asked how Flash’s punches can hurt Superman. In Injustice 2, the gameplay answers the question.

Without a doubt, Flash sports the best fighting techniques of any character in the game. Certainly, the improved mechanics make Flash’s lightning punches flow better. And really, Injustice 2 may be the most-accurate portrayal of Flash’s super speed.

From the gameplay, to the fighting techniques to the super speed, Flash simply appears and disappears like a bolt of lightning. In 20 Hits, the hero is able to beat a third of your life in damage. Really, Flash sits at the top and faithfully his special moves display the comics.

THUNDERONE

VERDICT: BEST COMIC-ACCURATE
