"SHAMELESSLY PROMOTE" YOUR OWN STUFF!

... Phantom Limb?

Interesting

Sexy! I love these teaser images we can all come up with. I mean, mine are done with the least skill possible, but the stuff you pull out John... crikey!

Usually I'd much rather promote somebody else's stuff: like Jay's latest installment of Teen Titans that has an awesome wrap up of the Zandia mission that everybody should really read. Or Charlie's work in Detective Comics (of which I got a peek at next months issue and can't wait for it to come out!)

However, I will say that this weeks issue of New Outsiders is the beginning of a story that I believe is the first of its kind here at the DC2 (and please, someone correct me if I'm wrong here), but a real murder mystery, with tons of suspects and motives, twists and turns, and clues that have been layed out for almost two years now.

If any of you feel like it, take a quick look see. I'm sweating this one out and hope people enjoy it.

Peace.

The conclusion to the Outsiders/Teen Titans mini-series has gone up, and it's some of my favorite writing to date. So here's my shameless plug for the super-sized, extra-large finale, with over a dozen heroes struggling to save the world from KOBRA, Sivana and the Fearsome Five. Here's a "clip":



“I think it’s safe to say that the main controls, and power generator, are in that main building,” Nightwing said as he looked over the structures. “Vibe is probably attached to that generator, since they wouldn’t want too much loss of the power they drain from him.”

“Makes sense,” Kid Eternity replied. “Do we dare wait for the others to show up? We know for a fact that Sivana and his Fearsome Five are in there. Though they are, thankfully, only four right now. And we know Kobra's in there, with who knows how many of his cultists.”

The doors started to open up, all across the complex, as waves of orange and green streamed out, armed with machetes that glinted in the base’s floodlights. Kid Eternity and Nightwing watched from the slope as the streams turned into one large flowing river surging in their direction.

Nightwing pointed at a cultist, then another, and another and a fourth and then threw his hands up in the air. “I’d say a lot. A lot of cultists. Pardon me if I don’t try and count.”

“You’re forgiven. Guess we have our answer,” Kid Eternity agreed grimly. He shook his head and took a deep breath, something that rattled the detective at his side. Whenever a ghost took a deep breath, Dick Grayson had learned over the years, it meant that something big, and something bad, was about to happen. “We have no time to wait for our friends. You have got to get in there and save Vibe. I’ll take care of KOBRA.”

Dick was about to argue, but saw the look in Kit Freeman’s eyes behind the tinted glasses. They were hard, they were focused, and Kid Eternity’s form started to shimmer. “Good luck, buddy,” he said instead and backed off from the spectral Marvel, giving him space and starting to find a roundabout way toward the main building.

Kid Eternity took several steps to the very peak of the slope, staring down at the charging hordes. They saw him, and they charged him, and he merely looked back down, his arms slowly raising up higher, and higher. He felt like his heart would be racing, beads of sweat would be pouring down his forehead, his chest swelled with air, if he lived. Instead, he mimicked this all as his spirit tightened up. He listened to his mentor and companion, Mister Keeper, but shook his head.

“I have to do it. This is the way it has to be. We both know it.” He listened again and nodded. “I know. I know it might be more than I can handle. But Nightwing…the Birds and the others…they need this. The world needs this.”

As the horde of cultists reached halfway to the top of the slope, Kid Eternity held back no longer.

“ETERNITY!”

It was the loudest word ever cried. It rang across the heavens and tore into the spirit realm with a force unparalleled. Every erg of power within Kid Eternity was stretched to the maximum as the field behind him shimmered with slowly appearing beings. Stretching out behind him, as one powerful man stood next to the shaking, trembling Kid Eternity, who felt stretched and torn and tattered as he held his focus.

“King Leonidas, your three hundred are needed once more,” Kid Eternity said in a soft, strained whisper. The iron-hard master of war merely nodded and raised his spear to the men assembled behind him. The Spartans shouted a war cry and charged, a cry and a charge that halted even the driven cultists as they poured over the top of the hill and Kit merely offered a weak smile at the sight. The crash of bodies, the screams of pain and flow of blood filled the snow-covered field and Kid Eternity watched as he slowly dropped to his knees.



So I hope I've got you all interested, and head on over to Teen Titans and Outsiders Giant-Sized Special #1 to check it out.

Take care

OK it may appear to be self-indulgent of me to hype something that had been posted over two years ago but there is a reason. Rogues Gallery #2 was meant to lead directly into a new Suicide Squad arc that for various reasons, never came about. The story was then reworked to be the first big arc in Checkmate back in 2007. Again, that seemed like it was never going to happen.

But now here it is at the end of 2008 and the storyline is finally ready to see the light of day. RG #2 is still one of the story's that I am proudest of because it worked as a great lead-in as well as a solid stand alone story. Plus Ramon's cover alone makes it cool!

It features the first DC2 showdown between Deadshot and Deathstroke as well as introduces a character that plays an important role in Teen Titans #37 this month.

So yeah, it's been a long time but I encourage you to check it out before diving into Checkmate #2 and or Teen Titans #37. You won't be disappointed.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooookay???!!! That sounds interesting!

After a slight delay, Justice Society of America #7 is up! It's a crossover with DC3's Earth Two, in the tradition of the Gardner Fox Silver Age JLA/JSA stories--- but with a few interesting differences! Also, this issue begins the Young All-Stars back-up feature.

Check it out, folks, and marvel at the beautiful art done by Alex! Not one, not two, but three gorgeously rendered images!

Very observant Charlie.
