It's time to burn, /co/
Are you doing this forwards or backwards?
Whatever you say,Adam.
>>67346534
Looks like forwards in terms of how it'll be published in print.
>>67346534
I'm doing it in the regular order
>>67346529
So the flag flapping in the wind becomes the cover in:
>>67346521
Cool.
>>67346552
Watchmen's whole cover is a panel thing
>>67346549
why is ant-man killing the president
>>67346534
It doesn't really matter. It's acollection of various scenes from a huge political superhero epic. The parts that interested Adam anyway.
The big joke is thatthis is how Manhattan saw Watchmen happening. It's loaded with asides and distractions. If you want to fully replicate the experience, you need only flit between any part of the book you wish. The past and the future are places you can travel to with the turn of a page. The page is a door.

aw.. you didn't even put anything in the subject? boo 2/10 OP
>>67346569
Can you spot all the peace symbols in this book, /co/?
>>67346581
FUCK
I keep putting things in Options instead of Subject
Looking at this cover is really goddamn intense. I looked at it for more than a minute and I could feel myself sweating.
Strobe light comics.
>>67346590
>>67346580
To those reading this comic just now.
Spoilers: The Question is a glorious piece of shit in this book. You will laugh at a thing he does near its close. Or beginning. Whatever.
>>67346597
Do you want to start over?
>>67346614
No!
This will be dead by noon anyways in all likely hood.
I think this might be some of the best work Quitely's ever done. I wouldn't say it's worth the wait exactly, because (c'mon) 4 years. But it's gorgeous all the same.
>>67346616
Circles within circles.
Take your time with this one anons. Even though it might stress you out.
>>67346529

God damn it.
At least we got another peace symbol.
>>67346636
>those button presses.
Took me a moment to get it.
Where was Peter Cannon?
>>67346573
Ah, thanks for puntualizing that.
It's so simple and clearly stated in the comic itself, yet so difficult to grasp at a first read.
And my God, this is really the kind of book you point at when you want to defend comics as a medium. Quitely does shit that can be done only with art and panels. It's simply astonishing.
>>67346678
Thunderbolt's rights are with the creator's estate and not DC
>>67346685
Seriously, this is fantastic.
>>67346693
>those top 4 panels
>those last 4 panels
Vic, you glorious motherfucker.
It's one of those small things that adds to the greater whole, but I really love the panels coming together to make a whole scene.
So I guessAdamis Earth 4's Multiversity representative, I guess.
>>67346727
>>67346712
>that costume
That Golden Age outfit of his most definitely doesn't go with that skintone.
>>67346704
>uses JLA: Earth-2 and All Star Superman as examples
I see what you did there
>>67346627
HE'S LOOKING AT ME! STARING!
Multiversity got me intrigued
SOS got me pumped.
The Just got me depressed
This issue though. This one just got me all stressed out.
>>67346772
Anon. Youare him. Or at least, looking at the story fromhis perspective.
>>67346704
Sentinels of Justice and L.A.W. were both teams composed of Charlton characters at different times

What the hell?
This was interesting and all but...eh.
>>67346855
>"I need to write something badass and ironic"
Probably my favourite line from this issue.
>>67346801
10/10 prank there, Harley. I guesshe's the murdered hero/villain needed to summon the Gentry. But where is Nix?
>>67346828
>>67346836
Now I want a Peacemaker ongoing.
>>67346847
He KNOWS!
Let me show you...
>>67346855
Fantastic. Because of his name, the Question makes everyone repeat his forced catchphrase whenever he confuses them or they need to ask him something.
Who's the iron handed guy?
>>67346885
He should've knocked.
>>67346897
>Who's the iron handed guy?
Sarge Steel.
>>67346866
>Now I want a Peacemaker ongoing.
I've wanted a Peacemaker ongoing Since the Jaime Blue Beetle run.
NEXT MONTH
also the black stuff is increasing every month...
>>67346900
And so it ends...with a QUESTION!!!
>>67346855
Kind of weird to see Ted wearing Garrett's costume.
>>67346712
IT'S NOT AN ALTERNATE REALITY
>>67346914
Wait.
Why the fuck is Supergirl in the "created by section"
Who's Supergirl-4? (Superman-4 we know is Captain Atom, and Batman-4 is probably Ted).
>>67346900
>The twisted mask is an 8
>a moebius strip
Shit. Didn't see that on my first reading.
>>67346793
Like areflection
>>67346986
I was gonna say sex clone, but that works.
So the 8 is supposed to make you think of infinity right?
So, the Pax were the Gentry, right? And Captain Atom was under their influence because of the comics?
>>67346914
Weird that this says it's 3.99 when we know it's 4.99 and all the others have said 4.99...
>>67347006
And the mask at the end is supposed to show you that Infinity is broken.
>>67346704
>Hrrm
Rorschach analogue confirmed
Who else noticed the comic Harley's dad was drawing was looking out back at their world?
>>67347067
You understand that Rorschach was based on the Question, right?
>>67347027
It's actuallySergeant Steel. He implies such anyway.
>>67346745
>>67346755
Vivisecting the dog - a parallel to Nix vivisecting Ultra Comics and Alexis cutting up the trans-dimensional comics?
>>67347081
Image fucked up
>>67347097
I think this might be how Adam wound up with the Superman Beyond crew.
>>67347081
>>67347101
That's the comic from >>67346801
>>67347092
How so? I must have not noticed.
>>67347112
No, I think he's going to the House of Heroes.
>>67347116
Adam mentions that he hears someone knocking
Every time that's happened, a Gentry agent steps in: Nix, Blockbuster, and Menta.
Then as he kills the scientists, Steel says that he crawled out of the hole they tossed Adam down
Question. I haven't read any of The Question comics. Is he usually this great?
>>67347084
Yes, just a joke because this has Watchmen overtones and Rorschach says "hurm" a lot.
>>67347163
>Question. I haven't read any of The Question comics. Is he usually this great?
Yes, ignoring the new 52 version
Original by Ditko, O'neil, Rucka
>>67346847
Kind of reminds me of Morrison's St Swithin's Day.
Is President Harley an analogue and/or preexisting character?
>>67347138
Just to keep things straight in my head. He's the guy with metal arms, that we see in the case in the beginning,and kills Nora?
>>67346876
That's a little disappointing.
I get it. Jumbled, fragmented information coming out of the event horizon in beautiful sequencing.
But it still feels a bit lazy as we all ready saw this in Return of Bruce Wayne. This moment was hyped as hell is what I'm saying.
>>67347188
He's the son of a preexisting character, Yellowjacket (who was published by Charlton)
http://pdsh.wikia.com/wiki/Yellowjacket
>>67347204
I feel a bit that way.
But,to be fair, in what other way could 420 panels fit in a single page?
It's still a spectacular composition.
>>67347163
He's more sincere in his comics. Here, it's clear that the whole crazed conspiracy theory pulp adventurer is an act.
>>67347163
It doesn't have Watchmen overtones. It is a blatant Watchmen pastiche.
>>67347231
>Here, it's clear that the whole crazed conspiracy theory pulp adventurer is an act.
It seems like it's an act at first and then he starts becoming it.
>>67347191
I think that might be a different dude, since Steel only has one artificial limb.
The Soldier and the Hunchback.
I need a fucking 300 level college class
>>67347252
Well the Question says "The hunchback becomes the soldier". I thought it was just Sarge Steel in his early form or something.
I don't know if I can/should sleep now
So I'm guessing Harley's hoping toget himself resurrected to foil the Gentry.
>>67347191
>Nora
Fuck, Who was Nora?
>>67347204
>But it still feels a bit lazy as we all ready saw this in Return of Bruce Wayne.
Really? I never got the impression Return of Bruce Wayne had the same effect as this issue. Reuse of technique doesn't mean much to me as much as the execution of it.
>>67346558
>that face
So Peacemaker's Earth 4's Batman instead of Beetle?
>>67347325
Nora O'Rourke is from the Peacemaker comics.
>>67347342
Not everything is interchangeable
>>67346646
I guess those were the 4 scientists that Vic mentioned to Beetle. Emphasis on were.
>>67347342
My first thought when seeing that panel was of Batman Inc.
>>67347349
Yeah, but Batman created by Bob Kane was in the credits.
As was Supergirl.
>>67347329
Last issue had Ancestor Box Batman reviewing Bruce's life in a rain of panels as he fights the Justice League.
>>67346801
>Sentinels of Justice and L.A.W. were both teams composed of Charlton characters at different times
Yeah specifically Sentinels was done by AC Comics when they assumed they were gonna get the Charlton rights and L.A.W. was done I think in 2000 at DC.
>>67346801
>Reminder of where and when I fist saw the pattern
>>67346900
Holy fuck reading it here in /co/ is making this shit much easier.
>>67347385
Yeah, I know about that. Like I said it's all about the effect. It seemed much stronger here to me than the final issue of Return of Bruce Wayne. And I know Morrison's done earlier attempts in Final Crisis and Seven Soldiers: Mister Miracle.
>>67346801
>Broken world
Lord Broken confirmed for the Gentry responsible for this bedlam.
With that mystery solved: Who will attack Thunderworld?
Intellectron or Hellmachine?!
out of all of the multiversity comics, I was most hyped for Pax Americana, but now I really don't understand it.
But now, I'm more hyped for Mastermen, hopefully it'll be good.
>>67347428
>67347428
Hellmachine, remember that Sivana creates a Technologic Rock of Eternity
>>67347428
I'm guessing Hellmachine, the Mastermen logo looks to much like Intellectron
>>67347431
What don't you get? It's a story told from the perspective ofCaptain Adam. It's why you get spreads of the past, present, and future happening simultaneously. 4D vision is go!
>>67347428
Yeah and the cover has a peace sign broken in half.
>>67347226
You do it like this.
>>67347449
Not really. It's just aflag on fire.
>>67347448
Well, what does this have to do with multiversity?
I know Adam appeared in final crisis, but does it reference the Gentry or anything else like that?
>>67346885
>Top-down hypocrisy from Nixon to city hallNixon toNix on to Nix Uotan
>>67346597
Is Vic Sage from WWB pissed?

>>67347472
>>67347476
>>67347482
>>67347487
>>67347497
Ok, I stand corrected.
Although, I think I like Quitely's approach a little better.
Source?
>>67347506
Its from Blow Up by Shintaro Kago
>>67347499
Fuck
>>67347495
Harley wanted to undo the curse the Gentry put on Earth-4 after hemurdered his father, the first superherobydying and then getting brought back by AdamSergeant Steel, a Gentry agent, aimed to sabotage the plan by having the scientistsmurder or neutralize Adam with a black hole so he couldn't bring back Harley. The deaths of these scientists are what the Question is investigating.
Though Adam was off the board, Peacemaker goes ahead with the assassination because Algorithm 8 has worked out flawlessly since then. His last action in the comic proper implies that he knows who the Sergeant really is and that the good guys might still have a shot at taking the Gentry down.
>>67347505
Vic Sage is Pissed

>>67347499
HOLY SHIT!
>>67347545
Holy shit, that part you said about Peacemaker was the last piece of the puzzle I needed to really understand the comic.
I want to kiss you anon.
n-no homo
>>67347579
Yeah, no problem.
I didn't get it at first either. Initially, I believed he was aiming at me, Eden, or Adam.
ThenSteelpunched him and it all made sense.
>>67347499
This goddamn book, I swear.
>>67347545
What was Blue beetle doing and how does Nora's murder fit in?
>>67347497
source faggot
>>67347618
Nora knew about the Algorithm. She was as dangerous as her beau to the Gentry's plans. Investigating her murder clues the Question in on both the equation and the scheme. Both of which he alludes to during his conversation with Blue Beetle.
Blue Beetle was pursuing the Question because Vic is a murderous lunatic. The latter also implies that Ted is working with the bad guys now and he knows it.
>>67346575
FUCK THE ARMS IN THE 4TH PANEL ARE THE SAME ONES THAT KILLED NORA
