DC DC Reboot
11-07-2011, 05:04 AM
No, that isn't a typo. Aaron Diaz writes the webstrip Dresden Codak - that's the first "DC".
On his blog, he's looked at what happened in comics this summer - that's the second "DC" - and thought, as almost any creative person is wont to do, that he could do something better.
So he did. And I like what he created - it's an internally-consistent world that's both fun and believable.
Three posts get you the entire universe (less Batman's villains, who haven't been rebooted): the Justice League, the Legion of Doom, and Batman.
(I wonder whether I could talk my gaming group into playing in this universe...?)

Hell, let them think they're going into regular DC verse and watch the Jaws drop at Social Justice Superman.

This whole setup is pretty amazing. And it just keeps getting better.

Didn't we have a link to the Justice League entry a few weeks ago? I know I've seen it before...

I hadn't seen it before.
That said -

I remember Joe Hundredaire had a teen-girl Green Lantern named Midori in one of his versions of YAHF Supers, but I think it was the really old version ring whose vulnerability was wood. Beyond that, I got nothin'.

Hm. Maybe I saw the link in the EPU forums, then, because a search here doesn't turn it up.

You did. It was part of the hoopla over the reboot.
