He's one of my favorites too, great character. Should be used more.<br /><br />And like Marvel does, I'd like DC villains to go beyond just one hero.

THe old writers had interests beyond comic books and super heroes and it showed; writers from the last 40 years or so are clearly undereducated in areas outside recent comic books.Doc Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783244633195233970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-78065573246570355252017-09-24T13:32:48.781-04:002017-09-24T13:32:48.781-04:00Agree 100%, these guys need to do their homework Agree 100%, these guys need to do their homework Doc Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783244633195233970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-73252706683830823292017-08-29T13:16:08.299-04:002017-08-29T13:16:08.299-04:00It is not entirely correct that you can only see i...It is not entirely correct that you can only see in 3D with 2 eyes. <br /><br />My right eye has muscle issue ("lazy eye") and I only see with one eye unless I cover good eye. I am legally blind in right eye. When I cover bad eye I have same view as I do with both eyes except for things I see in corner of eye very vaguely.<br /><br />My mind however adjusted to this issue by changing focus of left eye automatically giving me 3D vision with one eye. The first time I saw 3D at movies i freaked out for 3D affects which try to trick your vision to see 3D do not work on me.<br /><br />I liked the episode JLU S2.21 - Hunters Moon, Mystery in Space of JLU on the "nth metal asteroid" where it was explained that Nth metal is "tranurnamic" iron ore with atomic number of 676. Basically it is special iron ore.<br /><br />The whole reincarnation theme could be done real well by a good director.<br /><br />Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00206511574947959667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-45311060380049141592017-08-29T12:07:49.208-04:002017-08-29T12:07:49.208-04:00Let's face it, Bob.

But some later writer decided that it didn't make sense, and that Fox must have meant it to be "Nth."<br /><br />Another example: "parallax," in astronomy and optics, is the phenomenon that objects appear to shift positions when seen from different points of view. We see in 3-D because of the parallax between our left and right eyes. Hal Jordan was renamed Parallax because his viewpoint on "good" and "evil" had shifted. But "Green Lantern: Rebirth" made Parallax an ancient fear demon, ignoring that fact that the word actually MEANS something.Bob Buethehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624148139233566430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-62604300174040485472017-08-26T21:34:53.922-04:002017-08-26T21:34:53.922-04:00Hawkgirl was done by Richard Howell and Dennis Jen...Hawkgirl was done by Richard Howell and Dennis Jensen for the cover of Hawkman #2, September 1986.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02555912696256605211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-14922085049254288792017-08-26T13:21:47.882-04:002017-08-26T13:21:47.882-04:00shadow thief needs to be in cw shows or on big scr...shadow thief needs to be in cw shows or on big screen and handled better than shade was on flashAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-6577707745665052112017-08-26T12:18:28.763-04:002017-08-26T12:18:28.763-04:00Whoever drew Hawkgirl on the original cover did an...Whoever drew Hawkgirl on the original cover did an excellent imitation of Kubert's style.

It might have been a typical plot device to those who were familiar with how the character had been used, but in seeing him for the first time, I thought the foreshadowing (seriously, no pun intended) was the coolest thing. I should track down that story.<br /><br />Also, love the cover!Jonathan Linnemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04711517194240426383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-1555525093304765742017-08-26T10:06:09.148-04:002017-08-26T10:06:09.148-04:00One can only hope, Ross.
