I really enjoyed this issue. Knowing nothing of the Challengers outside the name - it was fun for a lot of the reasons you mentioned. I'm not sure what kind of staying power this book can have. I kind of hope it's a limited series. Christopher Cantwell is a writer I like a lot. So I'll stick with it until I decide it's not worth it.

They have fought before. Birds of Prey…original run #63. This issue was just weird. Dinah’s mom has been dead for YEARS. The idea that they are both known public figures that could be in an interglactically televised fight makes ZERO sense. And it’s over narrated to the point of being annoying just like his Wonder Woman. No faith that this will be a good series. King will find a way to detract from Dinah‘s character.

You do make some very valid points. The narration was very annoying. I will give you that I didn't care. I'm not the hugest fan of Kings' work, but I'm interested in seeing we're things go in the story. I think I'm not 100% sure. Didn't Dinahs mom get retconed back when the JSA came back?

@matthewlloyd5130
@matthewlloyd5130 19 күн бұрын
@ Definitely, I’m just worried King will make Dinah look bad in the process…and since Dinah, Sr. has BEEN dead…what’s the point? Did anyone think she was still alive before this comic? It’s rehashing things that have already happened…mom already died, she’s already come to grips with growing up in her mother’s shadow…good and bad…these stories have already been told. She had her mom’s memories pre-Crisis because it was the original BC that crossed over to earth-one from earth-two and then retconned that it was her daughter. Everything being on one earth now makes that story unnecessary. She’s just her daughter but never had her mom’ s memories.

Love that you’re getting into 80’s blue beetle! I’m gonna be doing podcasts for that blue beetle run, the question, and booster gold. As far as I know the only “key” issue is the first appearance of the question in DC comics in issue 3 or 4. Also the type of binding the milestone books are (the square spine) is called prestige format. The killing joke was originally released in this format.

@ Sorry Mike, but you’ll have to find a pirate site. Seven Seas was going to publish it back in the day retitling it ‘Nymphet’ but decided not to because of the lolicon controversy of the manga. I and many others backed a Kickstarter 6 years ago to finally have all the volumes published. So far, all I have is PDF’s and some extra that came with the tier I backed but no physical copies. It’s been a joke with all the excuses they come up with and no updates for over a year.
