I like this page

>Read after JL vs SS #3
>This story is set before the events of Justice League vs Suicide Squad

Who do I believe!

...

well I haven't read it yet when I was storytiming it because I was reading JL vs SS#3.

>Four gang members from Bludhaven

The new guys from the current Nightwing arc?

Ey Frankenstein and SHADE reference.

...

anyone planning on storytiming Cyborg? Because I'm on my way.

Remember to support the official release!

Trigon cultist? What was Raven doing 8 years ago?

I feel like Kobra is being mentioned everywhere but not doing anything yet. Wonder if something's coming.

I know exactly what you mean. I like Kobra and love it though.

Is he Fun Max or Ass Max?

>800 gigs of "tentacle videos"
top lel

Remember, kids! Telepaths can't be heroes! Only Telekinetics can and only if they use their powers PG style! Because reading and controlling minds is fucking creepy as shit!

> No Barry on pics

Is this because he's so fast no one can take a picture of him or...?

hey! what a man faps to is no one's business! For all you know it could have been for research!

Well the Chinese government did develop a Starro bomb device.

NEXT


Carlos D'Anda is replaced by Scot Eaton.

>MUH MOTHER!

Why is Johns so obsessed with doing this to fun characters?

I can't believe Alfred just GAVE Waller the Justice League files without a fight.

Now that I've read both issues, I'd say they can be read in any order. JLvsSS is where the actual event is happening, this issue of JL is just Max Lord's new backstory.

Eclipso corrupts the justice league

Tim Seeley wrote this issue...

this is comics. that porn was live action.

who's that cutie with the ponytails

Live action tentacle porn is a real thing. There's a live action La Blue Girl and everything.

>Spyral

I miss Grayson guys.

fuck you made me google it. And it's every bit as interesting as it is arousing

God, I hope she breaks out of control only because of some mental block connected with "the item" Unless she is more strong willed than FUCKING SUPERMAN. It's disgusting.

I'm so glad I noticed that this wasn't a Brian Hitch issue. This was actually good. How was this so good but Seeley's Nightwing is still so mediocre?

Well, at least this isn't forcing young Max to declare life-long war on metahumans, even the ones you've been friends with for years, but villainous Max Lord still makes my heart hurt.

>chubby insect
took me a minute to realize he meant Ted and not some alien bug waifu I'd somehow missed

Yeah, why would that be enough to get you fired from a UN security/wet works group?

Father time, director of S.H.A.D.E. He doesn't always look like that, he's supposed to change appearance every year (or decade). Pre-new52 he was a black man in a suit and a domino mask.

So father is the compassionate route and the mother is the ruthless route. Interesting.

...

>mfw Seeley League had no League in it

So that soldier really did want to hand his gun over and become a hostage? That is stupid as hell.

Don't forget Max's powers.

Ass Max

No, I mean, Max went from this beleaguered telepathic Nick Fury to a fucking psychopath after it was retroactively revealed that superheroes accidentally killed his parents even before this issue happened.

That's what I meant: Max is monologing in the second to last page that his voice is what controls people, not his mind, and that he can only make people do things they want to do.

Does that mean he isn't a telepath, just a hypnotist who makes people tell him about the skeletons in their closets?

>No Hitch

It was on a work computer?

Why the fuck does DC think Hitch is anywhere close to being competent as a writer, anyway?

Countdown to Infinite Crisis is where most of my problems with DC started.

I miss Superbro.

I know exactly what you mean. They have been teased in Batman,Nightwing and probably something else that I forget. Gotta wonder if they are gonna be part of a event at this point.

Barry has been the biggest afterthought of the JL since the New 52 started. Even Cyborg gets more JL development.

Lord had like a year of practice on superman's mind in order to tighten his grip as hard as he did. In a one on one, he wouldn't have stood a chance against Pre N52 Superman.

this was surprisingly good

Damn, I really wanted to see what these golden badasses could do against even a small number of parademons after such a bold declaration. My bet is get devoured.

This is true
As someone who work IT in a police department, you won't believe what people put on their work computers

>telepaths can't be heroes
Saturn Girl is a hero.

I still don't like evil Max Lord.

Max Lord dindu nuffin

Its all those mtehumans fault

I think it's low level telepathy that's alin to hypnotism. They seem to have downgraded him to a point where he can convince and manipulate you to do shit, but not straight force you. The trick clearly is him talking to you, using his telepathy to lead you into thinking you want to do whatever he wants, not just "zap, you're my mind controlled slave now" like it used to be. It's quite clever, it allows him to do villain monologue while at the same time fixing his OP powers to more workable

>Waller is fat in the flashback
????

It's like Placido Domingo. He was once a great tenor and he's still a respectable baritone, but he thinks he can conduct and he's awful at it but uses the condition of vocal appearances to get conducting gigs.

>DC universe rebirth
>justice vs suicide tie in 12
>league squad
>justice league
>max lord
>rebirth

this cover is a mess lol

I was thinking the same thing, but I think the implication from the dialogue is he got embarrassed by his porn habits being made public and voluntarily resigned. Or "voluntarily" resigned because of Max's powers at least.

>funny Waller
I like it

So he's what, 43? Or could he have skipped a grade or two?

Oh man, I just realised we might well get Saturn Girl vs. Max Lord

21/22 average graduation age for non-idiots.
10 years to rise to head at 31/32.
That was 8 years ago for him to be 39/40 now.

Nah, 10 years to rise to "King's Knight" and the three years of that until the Black King's "accident", so 42/43

Oh misread that as rise to King. Yeah unless he skipped years in school he's 42/43.

I thought the black man was Uncle Sam?

But she was skinny Max said so

That's kinda old by comic standards, isn't it?

A little. Usually goes teens, young heroes in 20s, experienced heroes like Batman and Superman in the early 30s then jumps to wise old grey hair sages, then immorals.

those are a lot of tentacles

she's locked up

That doesn't make her a villain, especially not when she's locked up because "she seemed crazy".

bumping to read

I like it. 40s means you have some actual life experience.

No it just means you're old grandpa

Fun Max doesn't exist anymore. He's a casualty of the mid 2000's

Really could have done without Max being given mommy issues, but it seems everyone has parental issues of some kind these days.
