Luis Olavo de Moura Dantas replied to The Baron's discussion New History of the DC Universe - Comments and Questions (SPOILERS)
"Also never heard of this "Justice Alliance" consisting of Captain Comet, Prine Ra-Man, Automan, Tiger-Man and Congorilla.I am fairly certain that they are a recent continuity implant from the very recent Action Comics #1091.Which, btw, is a…"

"This may have been the first Superman story I ever read. It was certainly one of the strangest.I have not read its sequence yet, but apparently it is ever weirder."

"There is probably a more interesting story about how the idea of the Ten-Eyed Man came about than any story with him ever was."

Luis Olavo de Moura Dantas replied to The Baron's discussion New History of the DC Universe - Comments and Questions (SPOILERS)
"I'm glad that WildC.A.T.S. and Authority are no longer sharing an Earth with Superman and the JLA.  The concepts do not converge to either one's benefit. Apparently the most recent Wildstorm series were "Waller vs. Wildstorm"  and "WildC.A.T.S. Vol…"

""Mark Waid and DC [...] ('s) approach seems to be to list everything that ever happened in the DCU chronologically, maintaining that it all occurred in the same universe, and leaving individual readers to sort it out for themselves".While this…"

Luis Olavo de Moura Dantas replied to Cavaliere (moderator emeritus)'s discussion Volume numbers
"Not very relevant here, but it is my understanding that the 1965 series and the 1987 series also feature different characters (even if the later pretends to have a similar origin and nature to that of the earlier)."

Luis Olavo de Moura Dantas replied to Captain Comics's discussion The Massive, Extravagant, Over-the-top Golden Age JSA Re-read
"Apparently it is very difficult for people to grasp the full significance of historical conflicts while they are living through them.WW 1 was itself famously underestimated by the very people who made it happen and last - at least at first.  Word…"

Luis Olavo de Moura Dantas replied to Captain Comics's discussion The Massive, Extravagant, Over-the-top Golden Age JSA Re-read
"The Spear of Destiny was used before, most notably in a Steve Englehart story published in Weird War Tales #50 (1977) and in Paul Levitz's telling of the origin of the JSA (DC Special #29, later in 1977).  Each time it played a somewhat different…"

"Odd. I was once told (in an Youtube video from a comics channel) that the Earth-One Ted Grant met Batman but never became Wildcat.A quick search reveals otherwise, although there are only a half dozen appearances of E1 Wildcat (five issues of the…"

"So Green Lantern is canonically the inspiration for both Wildcat and Red Tornado?He must have left quite the impression in the early Golden Age.  It is not hard to guess why.  His visual was surely striking, as were his powers.

Luis Olavo de Moura Dantas replied to Jeff of Earth-J's discussion Crockett Johnson's Barnaby
"A little diggression, if I may.I nearly convinced myself that Barnaby is "Henry", the 1932 character by Carl Anderson that was published in comic books fairly often here in Brazil in the 1970s.  They are very much distinct characters, but the face…"

Luis Olavo de Moura Dantas replied to Jeff of Earth-J's discussion Spider-Man: Torn
"He has lost his legs, but that does not have a whole lot of consequences in the plots beyond giving a reason why he is now constantly bonded to some symbiote or another.  In each case the symbiote provides fully functional legs of his own."

Luis Olavo de Moura Dantas replied to Jeff of Earth-J's discussion Supergirl (2025)
"This is a very nostalgic series, isn't it? The covers of #3, #4 and #6 each reference specific stories from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.Not a fan of the 2005 Supergirl costume, particularly with that body type.  Beyond being too directly derivative,…"
