Who is Fatality?

[Briel]

That's my question. Also if he/she is cool enough to be in this set of CJ? My friend has sat through two of my Marvel sets waiting for the new DC, and we've been scratching our heads on some of the slots that should have been used for more recognizable characters. Also wondering if there will be another DC set before Marvel to even things out, or if DC just takes longer on approval of figures? I told my buddy the Marvel sets probably came back to back to capitalize on the movies.

I only know one thing 'bout her.

Fatality is a major Green Lantern villian.

That is all I know. Thanks.:classic:

There will be another Marvel set before there is another DC set.

Fatality is an alien whose planet was destroyed and John Stewart, Green Lantern has been blamed for it. I believe it was in the Cosmic Odyssey mini-series. Anyways, Fatality wants revenge not just on John Stewart, but the whole Green Lantern Corps. She has killed several already.

[darius_dax1]

....if I have the story right. I may have messed up a minor fact or two. But that is the history of Fatality.

[Briel]

Thanks guys. That means we have three Green Lantern villains (Sinstro, Fatality, and The Manhunters). That's cool. A Unique Guardian (Ganthet maybe?) would have been a cool move to.

Hey Darious. Maybe this quote will bring back cool memories.

"Father. I am moving in mysterious ways." -Supreme

It has been so long since I read that series...I will have to re-read it soon! Alan Moore is awesome! I loved (obviously to those in the know) his work on Supreme..Superman the way it should be!

[Briel]

I also liked volume one, when it was "What if Superman was insane?" I did love Moore's version too though.

[darius_dax1]

I did not read the early issues...I had a serious IMAGE burn out going on. I worked in a comic shop at the height of that era and I really HATE Rob Liefield.

[Briel]

That's alright. Liefeld did nothing but covers. It's all written by Eric Stephenson, Robert Napton, and Kieth Giffen. Sometimes the art was rushed, but they were throwing out so many great concepts. I suggest The Legend of Supreme by Giffen and Johnson (3 issue mini). I also liked Glory. A streetwise Wonder Woman who embraced the new world, instead of the corrupt inbreeding of not so worthy would be gods. New Men was also way cool and funny. Just avoid any of Liefeld's actual hands on books. Garbage like Youngblood and Brigade.

[Briel]

Oops! Almost forgot. For those who missed Alan Moore's Supreme, there is now a TP. See the ground work that will become Tom Strong.

[darius_dax1]

My favorite book to pick apart on art alone is Youngblood: Battlezone #1. Inconsistencies from panel to panel.

[Briel]

How about Captain America? The shield switches arms from panel to panel. Even in stop motion sequences.

[darius_dax1]

It still wasn't as bad as Youngblood: Battlezone # 1. Look at the costume changes from panel to panel. The colorist is even partially to blame.

[Briel]

I'll have to open an issue at a shop. I'm always up for a good laugh. Anyone remember when DC used to use some Flexo-color process, and every once in a while Changeling would be the strangest color yellow?

[darius_dax1]

I almost bought that issue because I really enjoyed showing others how bad Rob L. really is!

[Briel]

What I want to know is why Ashely Wood stll gets work? If you take ou the word balloons in his comics, there is no way to tell what is going on. There are several artists who seem to have gotten work by copying Bill Sienkwiz's drawing style. The difference being of course, that Bill actually knows what he is doing, and how to tell a story.

[darius_dax1]

What does Ashley Wood work on???

[Briel]

Wood used to work on Ghost Rider 2099. Now he mostly does one shots all over the place and some covers. The last thing I saw him do was an Uncanny X=Men Annual about The Vanisher by Joe Casey. For recent sample of his work, there is the cover of The Authority: Scorched Earth. Thankfully he is too slow for a regular book, only who knows why?
