archangel

really? you hate on pally bubbles, which can now be dispelled, but love your druid and it's bullshit broken cyclone ability? really?

Let's see what happens, cos it doesn't look like it's going to end well for Tony.

Have you seen the new changes and the healing output? I recently respecced Holy/Prot and...wow.

Any other Healadins on the boards?

how does it end?! I think at this point I would have set the lawn chairs on fire.

that would be so full of win, I think i'd die

what's this rumor about Connery playing Selmy?

I will get HBO if this happens.

you finally get around to read any of this, Nick? It's only four issues, man!

Trade = bought.

dibs

on that note, lets hear it from our pal Fail Druid:

The Goblin Racial, for PVP, is Bah-ro-Ken.

But they say they're going to redo all the racials, so we'll see.

^^

Must be an obama supporter.

I don't think so: they've tried that before.

Remember when we first met John McClane?

Argyle picked him up from the plane,

And took him down to Nakatomi Tower...

To meet with Holly.

He came to get her back and to be her man,

But Hans and his buddies fucked up the plan,

And that's about when everything went sour

At the Christmas party.

And the terrorists were over-zealous,

But it was sweet when they killed Ellis!

And, with a little help from Allen,

John McClane kicked ass!

We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!

We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!

We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!

We're gonna die, die, die as hard as we can!

No one dies harder than John McClane,

Even when his wife's stuck on a plane

About to crash into the Potomac River...

On the eve of Christmas.

And airport security kicked him out,

But John McClane is just too damn proud,

And nothing could have made him not deliver...

'Cause that's his business!

And with a lot of fights and gunplay

He blew that plane up on the runway.

And, with a little help from Allen,

Holly's plane could land!

We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!

We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!

We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!

We're gonna die, die, die as hard as we can!

Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!

No one dies harder than John McClane,

Saving all the passengers on the train.

But Simon wasn't clear with his intentions:

It was just a distraction!

And there was no way McClane could know

That Hans Gruber was Simon's bro.

And that's what made it "Die Hard: With A Vengeance"

With Samuel Jackson!

And the good cop wouldn't miss this,

Even though it wasn't Christmas.

He didn't get any help from Allen...

But only in part three!

We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!

We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!

We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!

We're gonna die, die, die as hard as we can!

Finally we're back with John McClane

Now we got a choice, and the choice is plain:

We can live free or we can die hard,

As hard as we can.

From taking on a terrorist he's never met,

To taking on an F-35 jet,

With the greatest car explosions by far...

This sure looks sweet, man!

And we know what the basic gist is:

There ain't no Allen, and it's not Christmas.

We don't know but we're pretty sure that

John McClane kicks ass!

We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!

We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!

We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!

We're gonna die, die, die as hard as we can!

Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!

it comes down to motive for me, really.

Spider-Man's villains are partially insane, but megalomaniacal (with the exception of Carnage). Most of Batman's villains are bat-shit fucking crazy. Ivy, Joker, Scarecrow: they're some of the most terrifying villains ever.

If they were real, I'd be 1000 times more terrified of Joker than I would of Norman Ozborne.

the way the speed force was explained is that it's a 'barrier' much like the sound/light barrier. it's a force of nature that grants movement and is tied to all dimensions at once. When you travel, you first break the sound barrier, then you break the light barrier, then time, then speed. It's a bit complicated.

hell yea keep 'em coming.

is that meagan fox?

but other than being possibly mentally retarded is there anything about Wally that Barry can really step in and make better. Will one of them have to wear a different costume?

I actually think it has more to do with the feel of keeping the old guard intact. Martian Manhunter's dead, Batman's dead, Barry Allen was dead, and the original Lantern was MIA. They brought back Jordan and you know Bruce will be back, too. They needed to bring back Allen to complete the set, since they permanently lost Jon.

to be fair, they at least had the decency to keep Allen dead for 20 years. Mad props to DC for that.

Which one was the one in the Justice League cartoons? The one that was ADHDish. I once saw him jump on a badguy's back and start using his head as a bongo.

Wally West

Wow, I had no idea about the latter 5.

Jessie Quick (now Jessie Chambers since she married the new Hourman, the son of the original Hourman) is the new Liberty Belle in the JSA. She's the Daughter of the original Liberty Belle and Johnny Quick, a mathematician who unlocked the abilities of the speed force through a mathematical formula.

Max Mercury is a speedster from the 1800's who likes to run forward in time whenever he gets bored. He's the one who trained and pretty much became the surrogate father of Bart Allen (Impulse or Kid Flash)

and Jai and Iris West are the children of Wally West. They're twins:

Jay's easily the coolest

Hands fucking down. Jay's always been my favorite.

who's Jay Garrick? i dont recall that name at all.

Respect, Bitch

Jay Garrick is the original Flash from the 1940's Golden Age. He's the first, original Flash.

btw, here's the bad ass page from the third of this arc (doesn't spoil anything, just awesome):

that's right, SuperBitch. Know your role!

yea, the only thing you have to know is what happened to Allen back in the Crisis in the 80's (infinite I think it was?), when he sacrificed himself to destroy the Anti-monitor, and the fact that he came back after this last crisis (the Redundant Crisis? Who knows).

But a really good read, which is the story arc that got me into the Flash in the first place is 'The Return of Barry Allen', which was done by your boy Waid. This has that same feeling of awesomeness that made me fall in love with the Speedsters.

Funny thing is, my favorite Flash was always Jay Garrick. Always thought him to be the coolest one.

But another really good read with the Flash is this one:

and just to show you two panels in the new series that were so fucking full of win:

Barry Allen, Bart Allen, Wally West, Jay Garrick, Jesse Quick, Johnny Quick, Max Mercury, Iris and Jai West...
