Been buried in comics lately. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your thoughts to Scott Snyder. Hopefully, enough of us can create a strong enough demand for the pre-Crisis Helena to be brought back into the mainstream. <br /><br />I conveyed similar thoughts to Scott right here: http://www.helenawaynehuntress.com/2017/11/do-we-want-helena-wayne-huntress-back.htmlDiane Darcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088910242990719027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368648927403203265.post-18541227112382359432017-12-31T05:03:32.415-08:002017-12-31T05:03:32.415-08:00Hi Diane -- Scott Snyder recently asked via Twitte...Hi Diane -- Scott Snyder recently asked via Twitter for suggestions re: what we'd like to see him do for DC in the coming years, and I got myself a Twitter account so I could ask for an Earth-2 JSA book that, rather than taking place in the present continuity, jumps up and down the original Earth-2 timeline, telling stories in any period. I always find it kind of mystifying that people regard the most recent Crisis or Flashpoint as having erased the previous continuity: it's still there, nobody denies that the old stories are the history of the DCU, or that the comics themselves still exist, and the nature of the Crisis retcon is that it rewrites without destroying. The characters may be gone, at least insofar as the current crop know, but are still the foundation -- and nothing says new comics can't take place in the past, so why should DC limit themselves to the current continuity? I don't say Scott Snyder should necessarily be the one to do it, and though I like Roy Thomas's love for the JSA I don't think he's the one to do it, either. Paul Levitz has done more to make me love the JSA than anyone else, but it probably shouldn't be him, either. Someone who loves the JSA like Roy, but likes the idea of growth and change, like Levitz. I also suggested to Snyder a couple of other dream projects that I would love to see: a history of the DC Universe from the Earth-2 Lois Lane's perspective as she tracks the emergence of the new superhero class from the advent of Superman through the end of her world in Crisis, all to be drawn in the style of Joe Shuster (imagine Jay Garrick, The Black Canary and the Huntress drawn by Joe Shuster!); and another book detailing Bronze Age Earth-1 Lois Lane's time as an embedded reporter in Kandor, involving Kandor's Dynamic Duo Nightwing and Flamebird. DC has a rich history: why deny themselves the use of it? Enlarge upon it the way Levitz did when he went back in time and married Catwoman to Batman...immaterialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17919247665221778178noreply@blogger.com
