Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The DC message boards are a scary scary place, but occasionally they yield accurate spoilers.
I realize that isn't spectacularly helpful, but it's all I can think of off the top of my head.

I'm halfway through Crisis of Infinite Earths, and is it just me, or is the writing just awful? I don't mind the storyline so much, but the dialogue is killing me. Maybe the bar in 1985 was set so much lower.

I'm thinking of tossing him out of the Wolf club, but I'll give him a few more pages.

Kind of. Shows like The Simpsons & Buffy had a big effect on dialogue in comics, I think.

It didn't help that they were trying to cram a hell of a lot of plot into it.

Seems like they're trying to cram a lot of characters and cross-comic references in it. Every couple of pages there's an asertisk after a line of dialogue and then at the bottom MW tells you to see Teen Titans vol. 56 or Aquaman vol. 239 for background or continuation of a storyline. Also every character they draw just has to have a line of dialogue. I wish they did it the JLU (tv show) way where they show 100 superheros but only a handful of them get lines.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I remember when someone posted a link to that Crisis spoof months back, I looked at it and imagined the editor yelling "It's not working! George is drawing new characters faster than the writer can kill them off!"

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
The DC Animated Universe is done for good.
I could have sworn I've read there's another season of JLU in the works, but it wasn't approved until after they finished up Season 4, so Epilogue was written as if it was going to be the last DCAU episode ever.
