The Comic Book Thread

Hey guys, wondering if anyone can help me with a couple of DC comics I've been trying to find... some of them I can't even remember the names of so would appreciate it if someone can fill in the blanks...

One is a Justice League Elseworlds comic which started in a Superman annual and concluded... somewhere else. I remember the title "Super Seven" but can't find any information through just that. The story basically is about how an alien race comes to Earth and takes over. All the superheroes are either killed or go into hiding. Flash is crippled by a mob, Superman has abandoned mankind after the murder of Lois, and other heroes are missing. Only Batman has been waging a guerrilla style war against the invaders the whole time. Any ideas?

Another story is a little more recent and up until recently I thought the title was "God Fall" but the only thing that turns up in a google search is the 2004 Superman story where he wakes up back on Krypton. The story I'm searching for is the one where all of Earth's superpowered heroes find themselves powerless and unable to cope with the chaos that erupts when the criminal elements find out. Heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman fall into despair while non-meta heroes like Batman trains those who have lost their special abilities but still seek the means to fight injustice.

Another one is kind'a like "Y-The Last Man". A radiation cloud passes through our solar-system with seemingly no ill effects. However, every male human on the planet soon dies leaving only Superman alive. Now with a planet only populated by women, things are more comlplicated when Luthor shows up alive in a protective suit, claiming Superman still carries the alien spores of the killer disease and should be exiled from Earth.

Hopefully, these stories sound familiar and someone can tell me what their titles are.

Thanks in advance!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thank you very much, Zergrinch!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So far Fables is the only comic title I'm reading regularly these days, though I just wait for the tpbs to come out. Gotta get volume 15 (Rose Red) in a little bit. Stopped reading mainstream DC and Marvel comics a while ago and now so many things have happened, I'm not too sure I wanna get back in. Now I just wait for trade paper backs and buy whatever seems interesting and are just self-contained stories in a single volume. For that reason I've pretty much avoided Blackest Night, all of those red, blue, yellow lantern books and now probably Brightest Day as well.

How ya doing, buddy?

Hey guys, wondering if any of you might be able to help.

I've seen a few pics about on the web from a couple of books I'm interested in reading, now that DC has gone all "alternate universe/timeline" with the relaunch of their books...

I can't find those pages anymore no matter where I search but I'm guessing they were from books published way before Flashpoint and whatnot. The books might be Elseworld titles or just dreams/hallucinations in the regular books. My memory isn't so good so some descriptions may be way off...

The first may be from either a Batman, Wonder Woman, or a Justice League title. The page showed a scene on Themyscira where Diana (looking as youthful and as beautiful as ever) is walking towards a wheelchair where sits a solitary figure looking at the sunset. The figure turns out to be a very old Bruce Wayne. From the conversation they have it is obvious that they have been married for a long time but Bruce then tells Diana that it is time for him to go. She cries and he tells her that he won't mind if she finds someone else (since she's immortal) but whatever happens, not to let her next love be Clark. He then tells her he was just joking, that Clark would take care of her. He then asks her to stay with him to watch his last sunset.

The second one is definitely a Wonder Woman title. It shows Diana fulfilling her role as Queen of Themyscira and her throne room is filled with the heads of her enemies placed on spikes like the castles of old. The heads include Mongul, Darkseid and Circe among others. Lined up on the other side of the room and kneeling are her knights that include, among others, Superman and Batman. They are wearing alternate versions of their costumes.

Anyone have any ideas to the comics I'm talking about?



I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Okay, I found the images I was talking about for the first story. Apparently it's from JLA #90. I got the description a bit messed up but the general story was right.



Unfortunately, the issue was published in 2004 and I can't find the issue anywhere. I was tempted to buy a tpb when it was available but later found that the JLA trade paperbacks do not include this particular issue at all...

Anyone know if it's available online?

Still no idea on the second query I posted though. Still coming nada with the picture searches as well.

I was speaking idiomatically.
