Neat!
I'm not an expert on Judaism but can you be a quarter Jewish? From a religious aspect, pretty sure you either are or are not. I guess maybe you can be culturally Jewish without observing but it seems weird labeling someone a fraction in that case. I also can't recall ever seeing anyone being called half Buddhist or a quarter Catholic.
This is a pretty common thing in all creative media. Very rarely does anything go through the whole process and come out looking how it started in the beginning.
Killing the Blood Pack. It's really not the worst thing but the New Bloods are near and dear to me.
Chief Justice Max was pretty fun. Not really cosmic but he's a space cop.
@Cliff1647 @N8THGR852 Tempest would be good especially considering that he's the only Titans founder not to be "promoted" to the big leagues. That made me think of another Atlantean that would be neat: Arion. I think a time-displaced Arion could be a fun addition.
@N8THGR852 I wonder if DC still owns Garbage Man. Tanga's page says she is creator owned. My hunch is that Aaron Lopresti owns his rights now.
Not to mention Bruce Campbell.
I think Watchtower was used in Smallville as an early precursor to the Justice League but I don't think it is related to the Suicide Squad.
They're kind of redundant and a little confusing if you don't follow Marvel to get the things they're referencing. I guess it's cute to have little glimpses of them here and there but since I don't expect we'll ever get any big series with them, it's fine.
There are dozens, if not hundreds, of alternate timelines shown. One of my favorites was Titans Tomorrow.
They won’t. It’s a legal issue for them. The best way is to create and release your own comics and break in as a creator at one of the smaller publishers.
Robinson's Starman
My take was that these were temporary, but fun, identities based on the items they had lying around in the Rock of Eternity. I don't think this is meant to be a continuing thing.
Maybe the angel thing is a reference to Ktar Deathbringer? Or possibly Zauriel? One was Hawkman's very first incarnation and the other is completely unrelated...but he's never been an actual angel. Also never changed genders.
I would recommend checking out JSA vs. Kobra too. I think it expands on one of the plot lines built in Checkmate. I remember it being pretty good and definitely elevated Kobra to more than just a punching bag.
This is gone so far off the rails now...
@RogueWhistler I think the OMAC is probably a must read before Checkmate. It sets up Sasha's current situation as well as the general state of Checkmate following Max Lord's involvement in the lead up to Infinite Crisis. I haven't really read any of Sasha's stuff in Batman so I think you'd be fine skipping that.
If you're going to read Vigilante, I'd start at the beginning of his run. Wolfman only did the first 15 issues, so you might as well read that small amount to catch up to when Kupperberg takes over.
