Now?! But how?

I just finished the last 25 chapters of bombshells. Still a really fun read and I really love the characters and take of the DC universe in this alternate world. I'm glad to see it's will continue pretty soon. Sure the art would get wonky at times but it was way better than the early DC digital weekly efforts. And yea the plotting and dialogue can get hokey at times but what makes it all tie together is the book has heart. Not only the heroes themselves but the outlook that no matter how grim it all looks everything will work out in the end.
Good stuff

I was expecting a crazy style clash, but that looks great.

Haha that is definitely quietly the really interesting question about this mini, it's setting could kind of provide a bit of context both for questions we've had in regards to HB in Hell, and the current BPRD. Plus Koshchei is a cool character, always did want to know more about him.
Haha same, although admittedly I'm only really familiar with his more cheesecakey covers. I thought it might look a bit gross but it does look good.
Hmmm...
maybe time passes differently in what's left of Pandemonium, so "Now" there can still be prior to the end of In Hell? Was that final issue from HB's POV or a third party narrator,
I don't remember. We may be dealing with unreliable narrative

I thought Jessica was Starfire.
Bronco Jessica Jones sounds like she could be in Lego Marvel.

Or Jean Grey.
I would be interested to see that And how it would have been done, it explains why Tulsa was becoming more important in occupy

I read the Vision comic a little while ago. It is really good. Is that the only solo Vision series?

There's an older two hander with him and the Scarlet Witch, but it's not really the same.

They didn't stop when Trump was elected president when they did the Hydra arc for Captain America: Steve Rodgers. I highly doubt they stop now.

I like popping on the man of steel soundtrack. The movie isn't great but I really like that score

So what was the more disappointing years long reveal:
Nick Fury's Whisper?
or
Miles Morales Guggle?
Nick Fury's Whisper?
or
Miles Morales Guggle?
I actually really like the whisper reveal.
Hydra Cap was already setting up Secret Empire when Trump became president. Who knows what would've happened if the timing was different though.
The whisper actually made perfect sense with the arc of Aaron's run. The Google search was like the punchline of a bad dad joke.

Oh 100% that's a big part of the finale, it's all told from the POV of the demon at his grandmother's. He imagines HB as this huge hulking thing and so on. All we know for sure is that HB rid Hell of the remaining dukes I think and kind of disabled the possibility of the destiny that he would open the gates to hell and lead Hell's army to earth; there;'s no army formed under the hierarchy now but Hell goes on in some manner? We're never privy to exactly how or what he did. I actually really love that in the last issue, he becomes this mythic figure.
The demon makes it seem like the end and I guess it is for his way of life and the way Hell has functioned and we get our scene of HB at rest in the house and all fade to white but he really could have just kicked those guys asses and sent them packing and now he's just continuing to have an interesting time in Hell. The end of HBiH was so metaphoric and ambiguous it's hard to tell haha

I remembered that his exploits were being told secondhand but couldn't remember if that final sequence of him in the house rewatching his life was something that as the reader we were seeing directly or wss coming to us secondhand.

They forgot to go down further to include Hickman's Avengers/New Avengers which seem like about 15 pages per comic.
Also, cbr has become completely unusable without adblock.

Well in that regard, it does present those last few pages of him wandering in hell and then settling in the house with no narration. That does seem to be directly piped to us, the stuff before is all just the demon's interpretation and there's definitely some over exaggeration going on. As with all Mignola stuff, I think it's very open and up for interpretation, until they revisit it and pin it down. Super interesting stuff though,
Can't wait to see where they're going with all this

Secret identity
What's so funny about truth, Justice, and the American way.
The one where he fucks Cheetah.
All Star
That reminds of the time he did the deed with Barda.

Reading through House of M this weekend. I hope the tie-ins are unnecessary because I've already started skipping all the non-X-men related titles.
Sleez some dude from apocalypse.
I was trying to decide between that and For All Seasons. They're both so so good.
Man, I need to read that one.
I have no idea what that one is, but ugh.
One of the only critically acclaimed solo standalone Superman stories I haven't read yet.
Here are the ones I have read and loved:
-Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow
-Secret Identity
-Birthright
-For All Seasons
-Red Son
-American Alien
I'm trying to think if I forgot any, but I'm not sure.
They are unnecessary.
Havent even interrupted the main series back then...
But make sure to read Son of M afterwards
Superman American Alien. It's a great fun story about Clark and her pre cheetah

They film it and Darkseid gets a copy and visits Scott.
Oh that was Cheetah? I must have read it before I knew much about that character. Interesting. I DID love American Alien.

Secret origin is one I enjoyed.
Also "what to get the man who has everything" should be mentioned
There's some others I enjoy as well even if they're not in the top tier section. Like the doomsday/4 Superman/return arc, emperor joker, etc.

Why does he wear the mask!?
When did we learn Joker's name?
