Ooo! You'll have to spoil for me then!

Spoiler

The Arc Angles have decided that the imperfections that bother reality is Time itself. So, if they destroy time, then all of reality will just exist, and be perfect from their reality layer.

They tried to get Barry to be the one, but he wasn't right. Wally is, because Wally believes he can always help and fix anything. But first, they had to hollow out Wally; get rid of his humanity, his ties, his personal attachments. They helped break down everything in life around him to make him susceptile to their need.

and so, they sent him off against... time itself, which has been posited to be a living thing (like any entity like Destiny, Entropy from Marvel is). The other Flashes come to this conclusion as well, that Time is alive, and chose all of them as a conduit for aid, But as they siphon TIME from time for their speed force, Time then comes to feel things-their love, their hate, their wants, desires, and such. And wants to feel it more (why more Flashes).

Also, anyone connected to the Strength Force or Slow Force? It's all the same Force-just interacted differently by the user.
The arc Angles dont want Time to live, and Time wants to live, at it's base.

Also, that weird Time Cop? I was right, it's Baby Wade from the Future

Oh yeah. I would have hated that!

Batman: Dark Age 4 - the rogues gallery starts to grow as well as the original of this universes Robin.  Still a lot of fun!

Green Arrow 14 - Pretty lame crossover with Absolute Power.  I hate it when crossovers mess up the flow of a good book but here we are.

Quote from: Gay Titan on Aug 21, 2024, 08:20 PMI am loving the Super Power variant covers.

Did you see all of the Star Wars ones they did? I mean I knew they did some, but had no idea there were THAT many of them

Now they are not close to looking like an actual "figure" as the one you posted, no, no, not close, but good lord, "that's a lotta meatball!"

Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes (1977-) 252 - felt like a filler issue between arcs. Not terrible but not great either.

Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes (1977-) 253 - First appearance of Blok! And I had forgotten how he was introduced.  I think I remember how this plays out but will have to wait for next issues part 2 to be sure.  Fun read.

One thing I wish the big two would do is go back to legacy numbering. Put all these smaller series into a larger sequence and make it reader friendly.

And while we're on the (side) topic, I miss when the Superman titles had little numbered triangles.

Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes (1977-) 254 - went ahead and read this part 2 of the legion of Super Assassins story.  Trying to stay caught up with Perry.  Good ending as I suspected and fun seeing the lead up to the greatest Legion story of all time.

**************************************************************************

LoSH - I enjoyed seeing the ole' Legion of Subs kick-ass and they offered a great resolution to the conflict, but jeezbus, how Superboy "saved" everyone was absolutely ridiculous. And NOT in the "that is so ridiculous it's freakin cool"  70's style that I enjoy. Still, totally worth it to see those Subs do their thing!!
"GALAXY!" 

House by the Sea - I may read this monthly as I think this may be a little easier on my brain, having got "the gist" of what is going on in the last series. Well, when I say I got the gist of what is going on, everything is still a mystery, but I see the game a little better.

Zatanna - I love this art. Story seems a little too stretched out, but it isn't terrible. Zatanna is refusing to "do magic" because of a couple traumatic events, that she may have caused, back when she was little. I like the idea and how they are working the story and having a fine enough time to keep going. But it could be shit and I would still try and read it... I am a sucker for Zatanna, regardless and this being a Black Label story is also a bonus

Batman Dark Age - Ha, wow, that Riddler outfit is... something else.  As was the first Robin style, the feathered look was crazy. Again, Black Label goodness. My favorite part occurred early in the issue though, when good ole Alfred yells - "HELL'S BEEF!" 

- Sidenote - That's three BL books in a row for DC. Heck, I just noticed that Black Label books are all I read from DC (on the new side) this week 

2-in-1 - Ugh... Art was fine, story wasn't horrible (not enjoyable either though), but my main issue was the way Mantlo was making Ben "funny". I mean, hey, normally that would be perfectly fine, but here his humor came off as being very dickish, and THAT isn't Ben Grimm. Unless he is dealing with Johnny

Indeed. I only stopped because... well... at the time I wanted a little more tie-in with the stories. I do know it happens off and on through the run, but yeah, just wasn't hitting for me right now. I shall return though, at one point. Maybe when my Marvel Read Order reaches the same point as the triangles.
I am trying to get said Marvel Reading Order up to date with our Legion read through, but it is going to take some time. Reading one LoSH title is a lot faster than reading... 20 or so other titles.
