Old Man Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 As in 'choose' or 'select'. English, do you speak it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Which one will he pick? if you are referring to me who is doing the picking, I'd have to go with Wonder Woman and Donna Troy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCloud2k2 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 It's been over a year since I read Darkest Night/Brightest day so I only vaguely remember who the heck y'all are talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I had to look up who Ice and Donna Troy were. It's interesting, my impression was that DC rarely instantiated new characters in their books, compared to Marvel. Is that a mistaken assumption? I hardly follow DC.

Donna Troy has been around for 4 decades at least. Ice 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 So DC really doesn't publish many new characters then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 to be fair, both have enough as it is. Groot & Rocket Raccoon are both old. Rocket Raccoon: Summer 1976 Groot: November 1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcer84 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 So DC really doesn't publish many new characters then. No...DC keeps the heroic identity and changes the character with the times, either via Legacy or Retcon. Green Lantern? There's been thousands Batman? There's been at least 3 Robin? Several Superman? A couple Wonder Woman? At least 3 off the top of my head. Flash? 4 or five. They keep the identities rather constant but the individuals behind the mask change and then they evolve as well. Donna Troy has been: Wonder Girl, Troia, a Blackstar (was that the name?), Wonder Woman, and back to Troia again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 How many albums does a band get before fans start saying "I like their old stuff better"? Two. On average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 How many albums does a band get before fans start saying "I like their old stuff better"? Their stuff that they put out before they got a record deal was way more real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
