So, yeah- this issue features a reunion of the former (and super cool, original Watchmen) Charlton Comics characters: Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, Nightshade, Judomaster, and the unfortunately; absolutely (and horribly) uninteresting OZYMANDIAS Thunderbolt.
Admittedly; I was not very familiar with the Nightshade character before reading this issue- but HOLY CRAP is she fucking awesome!:

The way her powers work is so sweet- she's like a Cloak... that you can fuck!

| She works through it, though... |
-And turns around to totally fuck shit up!:

| -That is SO bad-ass! |
And as perusal; Blue Beetle has to get all meta!:

THE END (indeed)!
NO ted, it really is just you;) Maybe if he stayed with them, Max wouldn't have shot him so easily. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteNightshade is a cool character though, that didn't get enough play. Last time she appeared in the pre-NU52 DCU was in 2004, during the "Public Enemies" arc of Superman/Batman.
She's yet to show up, but would be great as a black ops agent for ARGUS or in the Squad again. Or hell even Justice League Dark.
She definitively needs a better outfit though.
Beetle is the perfect storm of schlubby yet awesome. I hated when he got shot. I mean it was a great story- I was just sad.
DeleteYeah, Nightshade is awesome. She was in Public Enemies? I haven't read that since it came out- I don't remember her in it. -She didn't make the animated feature then, huh?
She would be GREAT in Justice League Dark!
Yeah- this outfit I don't hate... but it could be way better. -She needs a little bit of Raven, and a little bit of Nico (from The Runaways) combined into that outfit... Then it would be perfect.
did you guys catch the Peacemaker reference?
ReplyDeleteNo, I did not... and still don't. -Where?
Deletethe 2nd from the top clip art you have posted has that soldier talking about his "old Colt Peacemaker". i know that's an actual gun but i also can tell that line is paying homage to another Charlton turned DC character who doesn't happen to actually make an appearance in this issue.
DeleteOh, right... Yeah- I just figured he was talking about his gun.
DeleteIt's going to be interesting seeing how Grant handles the Charlton characters in Multiversity. I collected the Blue Beetle DC series with Ted and loved every inch of it, especially his team-up with the question. Outside of Keith Giffen's Justice League, I'm not sure any writer got Captain Atom - or maybe DC just gave all the good parts to Superman. I collected Captain Atom: Armageddon, hoping that he would stay in the Wildstorm universe and get a bit of respect there. Still reckon that would've been awesome.
ReplyDeleteFuck YES: Multiversity!!!
DeleteI just picked up those Blue Beetle's with The Question. I used to own one of them wayyyyyyyyy back in the day- but that was back when I had no idea how awesome it actually was.
Yes, Nobody's Favorite Superhero was best in DeMatteis/Giffen's books... But the Captain Atom series was a very good read. I almost have the entire thing now... Featured it on this blog plenty- Look over to the side; Captain Atom is my 2nd most used tag!
Armageddon was pretty great! Especially since it was the lead-up to Captain Atom finally becoming the Monarch- like he was always meant to be!!!
