I'm a sucker for legal drama explored in weird speculative fiction settings like this. It was one of the most entertaining parts of Manhunter.

time to fish or cut bait: waifu, not waifu

Not nearly enough is done with the lawyers of Marvel or DC.

of course, we know that those reasons that make no sense involve the Squad

HI JEAN

back when you weren't evil and crazy

The verdict is waifu.

>it's an exit out the window

any actual non-internet lawyers in the house?

Hi OP!
Does DC have Superpowered lawyers like Marvel does?

OP is a faggot

They had Manhunter, although she didn't technically have superpowers

...

Both Mark Shaw and Kate Spencer Manhunter are lawyers

you're on time tonight!

That's one of my favorite Hawksnarl-related pages. It's so COMICS! and yet it manages to do it all concisely, and be fucking funny.

oh man oh man oh man

do not ask General Wade Eiling for favors

We missed you yesterday, Faganon!

>He tried to get Hawksnarl explained in a courtroom
And I thought Phoenix Wright tried some bullshit.

awww shit it's best Suicide Squad supporting cast

I vote we read Squad next, but I need the rest of the nice new scans, and we can always do it in sections.

classic

Hey so talking D&D got me hitting up old blogs I used to follow today and I figured some people ITT might get a kick out of this one:

...which I can't actually because spam filter, but search "The D&D Characters The X-Men Would Play" if you're interested. It's the D&D with Pornstars one.

I'm down for Skwad

I'm like 1/4th lawyer, but non-US. There's no way I'll pick up on any bullshit in this, which is all the better.

I'd love to read Skwad with you fine folks.

I we were doing JLI?

Another favorite hawksnarl moment

Getting off with five years after a near-miss terrorist attack (and public nudity charge) is maybe the most unrealistic thing in this quantum time travel superhero comic.

reminder that since she's Quebecois and it's 1989 she's going to have been raised SRS BZNS Roman Catholic

that was the worst fucking cocktease page!

we're doing both eventually, it's just a case of what feels like it should come next, as we've interfaced with both in this run

To be fair, she shouldn't be charged with the nudity, because even the prosecution admits that Firestorm's the one that destroyed her clothes.

Agreed

WHOOPS

"Tried" nothing, just a few issues ago she successfully killed those rival bidders for Queen Bee.

My Two Dads is such a great character element

this relates directly to Squad; eagle eyes will remember that it's brought up in the 2007 SS mini, as well

how lucky are you when past potential waifu helps you with new waifu?

Is the internet still collectively shitting itself about the spoilers?

>Warlock wanted to play a lantern. In the beginning people tried to explain that equipment was a separate section but then they were like fuck it, sure guy, you're a lantern. He died and his new character is High Hard Boots.
Good stuff.

Why is she so pale now?

not quite as much as yesterday/friday

but I assume there will be renewed shitstorms and saltiness come Wednesday

You gotta envy Captain Atom. The man has skills.

Yeah, I made the mistake of touring some of that earlier. It's fascinating in a 'I wish I didn't care about this, too' kind of way.

I don't think the word waifu works for Plastique very well.

You know cape books should embrace their soap opera elements.

She usually is when she's in that form.

lol

and yet he comes across as pure husbando material

trapping Waller takes big brass balls

So, what, no Bates cover credit to make sure people don't assume this Trial will go as long as Barry Allen's?

bless her heart

>"Hey Longshot, we're playing D&D!"
>"Really??? I was going to go just to the pet store and watch frogs jump. But that sounds fun! Who do I get to play?"

A good cape comic is 80% soap opera, and 20% professional wrestling.

Which Adams is this?
Clearly not Neal, although I'm sure he'd be an A++ drawer of Nate.

>Gambit has never been invited to play.

I have now seen someone complaining that Garth (not named but described as "straight white Aqualad") was in the promotionals for two books while Kaldur has been in none

Wow, it's almost like Kaldur was being kept as a surprise for Rebirth or something.

...

Michael.

Michael Adams

>They can't legally force a husband to testify against his wife

um....

Man, Firestorm sure does have some potentially sexy powers, huh?
He can get things real, real steamy on a moments notice.

On the lawyers thing- It's almost a shame Cecile Horton never much showed up in Wally's tenure as the Flash.

>Garth (not named but described as "straight white Aqualad")
but he's brown now!

this also seems like another case of "newer characters are automatically superior to older characters"

Yeah, I'm 99.9% sure he's the surprise TT member. Also, Garth looks kinda brown now, so fuck off I say.

That's a good page.

comicvine.gamespot.com/michael-adams/4040-28301/issues-cover/

that was a real law for a long time

So what comes after SKWAD and JLI/JLE? Armageddon 2001? I think that's Nate's next big appearance after his title got canceled.

well egg on my face.

They stopped that? Shit, there goes my polygamous anarchist state.

This is a terrible idea. I love it.

Extremmeeeeee

I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's still a law in some places

Hah, and yes, very much so.

I am also 100% sure this person has never read a comic with Garth in it.

he's got it SO BAD

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spousal_privilege

>meta-human magnet court

It makes a lot of sense that they would set up a special court system because of the specific special knowledge you;'d probably need, but this strikes me as something that would be highly regional in terms of need.

Like, not to Marvel levels were about 90% of all superhuman activity is based in New York City, but still more concentrated than general crime.

Also, General Crime would be a good villain name.

oh my god, he's pure husbando

also, with dat ass

The body of law built up around metahumans must be fucking insanity.

Captain Atom vs Captain America

Who's the better husbando?

So is her name supposed to be Bette pronounced Frenchly, like Bet for beast?
Or like Betty?

Still is in a lot of states, it's just that it varies a lot in what kind of cases it can be applied to.

Meh, I know ITT you've been pondering on exactly how warm Captain Atom's metal abs are but he does nothing for me. Who wants to marry a guy from the 60s?

I could cuddle with Captain America without a radiation detection badge.

>Avoiding most Rebirth spoilers but "Don't worry, racists, you don't have to have a black Wally West. We have your backs, too." is a bad look

oh eesh, come the fuck on

Steve is really top-tier but Nate's more interesting, IMO

I assume Frenchly

her surname means 'without cares'

As far as I can tell, it's still a thing.

...

This cover is so cheesy, I love it.

Steve never blows up, but Nate is C-List enough they might actually let him have a lasting relationship.

>>Avoiding most Rebirth spoilers but "Don't worry, racists, you don't have to have a black Wally West. We have your backs, too." is a bad look
yeah, it's not like Black Wally is in two books or anything

...

I would.

The fun conflicted feelings of being a Wally fan who didn't like Nu52Wally because he was in a bad book

Chester you are OUT OF PLACE here.

Shhh, don't let reality get in the way of being a superior moral scold.

You, I feel for. That person I quoted, I do not.

Technically the prosecutor here.

She was Eclipso for a while.
It was not good.
There's also Two-Face, but he doesn't have any powers beyond insanity.

Matter Eater Lad MAY have been a lawyer by the time he became a Senator, I don't remember.

Didn't he defend Polar Boy?

And they put him in promos and everything

But Pro Wrestling is just soap operas for dudes.

He defended Polar Boy, that's good enough.
>TENZIL AT THE DEFENSE

Wow, suddenly I really want that MEL Mr Kem goes to the United Planets mini
>You can EAT your damn statute, for all I care!

How long has it been since someone tried to make Kobra happen in DC comics? Waaaait, weren't they in Glass Squad? The one we all tried to block out later?

Kobra is currently in the Katana/Deadshot mini.

To be honest I'm not sure how Allard is still hanging around with the Ghost here, did I miss something?

Because of course the only reason we didn't like new 52 Wally was race. Couldn't have had anything to do with poor writing and a terrible status quo meaning he has none of his classic friends.

lmao, I hate people

Well of course YOU would, Satan

Speaking of moral scolding with TKJ movie around the corner I've seen bitching that the synopsis doesn't mention Babs at all but that her blood is on the cover

Why would DC put the most famous shot from the story as the cover???? it's a mystery!

>Implying Black Wally is going to last

I'm giving the kid an optimistic two events before he's either sent to limbo or killed outright.

Oh, huh

the person who posted that is also very very quick to cry GATEKEEPING! if you go "well, in these older comics..."
