So is this Terra gonna be her or Tara Markov?

Ugh!! They just fucked up 4 FOUR fucking Titans. One of whom is one of the greatest Titans. I didnt think it was possible to fuck up Thunder and Lightning but DC proved me wrong.

They already proved you wrong back when they were calling Black Lightning's unnecessary retcon daughters "Thunder and Lightning".

True at least that kinda made sense though.

DC loves retcons.

Howard Mackie: I keep telling people that in my mind the DC New 52 was written for me.

omg.....the Wildstorm integration just keeps raising the bar for ridiculous. Warblade was always kind of stupid looking and you think they couldn't make him any stuupider/90's extremer....have a look:

Y'know, Warblade looked silly the more elaborate his costume was. WHen they simplified his design, I think it was CHarest doing the art, he looked so much better.

Apparently DC didn't think so... :smt011

Finally someone agrees with me. I didn't like this stuff 20 years ago. Why would I like it now?

Of course it was written for Mackie in mind. Bob Harras's ultimate plan is to destroy the DCU utterly like he did the Marvel one. He's then going to go for the hat-trick and declare he doesn't need to bother with the Image verse.

See, I love 90's stuff. But it depends where it's used. DC's attempt to somehow be "cool" by trying to emulate what are some of the worst aspects of the 90's is not something I enjoy.

It may work in a title like Red Hood (and I do like some aspects of that book). But to have it influence so much of their line is a mistake.
