Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #36

Special-Girl, Q-boy, & Quickie On Famous People Dieing, Reincarnation, & “The Grand Catastrophe”

ccc-36-specialgirlqboyquiuckie

This one has some references to “Crisis Of Infinite Earth” the big event of DC Comics that ended its multi-verse and was the first of many attempts to streamline its comics.  Ever sense it seems DC is always trying to streamline its universe and always making some big crossover to bring back the multi-verse.   The logic being the if you start over with a clean slate its easier for new readers to jump into comic.  The fatal flaw in that logic is that in the process all the older stories have the complicated explanation of not “counting” because they are “pre(insertbigcrossover)”.  Along with that characters people liked are erased, changed for the worse, and replaced by other characters.  This is why I’ve always preferred Marvel’s approach which is more like “well that happened but slightly differently”.

I generally don’t buy the whole “all the continuity scares new readers off” argument.  If people can follow “Game Of Throne”, “Buffy”, or “Love And HipHop” they can follow most comics.  Especially in this day and age with Wikipedia and Google. You don’t need to know a character’s entire history to read a comic. Hell the writers probably don’t know it.

Tomorrow Q-boy talks with America-Man and the Good Knight some more about famous people dieing and also time travel. See ya then and hope you enjoy!

Yeah pretty messed up huh?  Sad part this is not far removed from actually Superman comics with Supergirl.  The first panel is actually based on a Batman comics where Robin is being kissed by Bat-girl.  Nope that’s not a typo, and no that’s not the Batgirl most people know Barbara Gordon (or Stephanie Brown, or Cassandra Cain for you nerdier pre-New52ers) but Betty Kane the OG Bat-girl, niece of the OG Batwoman.  Anyways panel 1 is based on this…

Panel 2 is based on a Superman comic that is pretty much just as ridiculous and weird as the panel suggests.  This bizzare and kinda disturbing storyline is explained more in an article on Comic Book Resources here.  The look of the panel is based on the first panel of this page

The last panels are based on another storyline that again is just as crazy and suggested.  Another article on Comic Book Resources explains it here.  Specifically these panels are based on these…

So that’s the story of Q-boy’s unhealthy fascination with his sister, and how weird comics got back in the day.  Next time we see Freedom Female again how she leads to another Q-lady. You gotta wonder though how bad time going back in time and having Superman bang Cleopatra would screw up time…

Usually there would be a Bastardized Ninja strip this time, but I realized this comic has a Christmas reference so I figured I’d put this one up.  Please enjoy, and HAPPY HOLIDAYS
