Five Years Later….The DCU Won’t Be Any Better

Five Years Later logos

This picture comes from a video in DC’s All Access, where the lady host visits Dan DiDio’s office. Taking a look at his bulletin board, there are Batman sketches and this, which appears to be samplings for a new logo. Bleeding Cool has been writing about the rumors for this event/series for a while now. While I’m hesitant to take rumors as fact, it does fall in-line with a lot of the new 52’s failings, right down to those less than inspired logo samples. Yes, I see what they’re going for, which is already more innovation than New 52 logos have had. That doesn’t make them look any less sad.

So what is “Five Years Later?” It’s the reverse of “Zero Year”, except that it will hijack certain comics. There’s no official announcement so I only have the Bleeding Cool rumors to go on. If they prove correct, my cynical mind sees the Bad Fanfic Brigade pushing even more influence into making “their” vision dominant for a long time to come.

Friday Night…um, Morning..uh..Thursday Night Fights: Super Sneaky

Here’s what’s happening, kids. Our MC, Fred of Spacebooger.com, has faced a fight he can’t win…his family. He’s off to a vacation Friday, so the Friday Night Fights will post Friday morning, at 10 AM ET. Due to my posting schedule this is the best time for me to post my entry, unless I trades places with the Midnight “Yesterday’s” Comic posting. I was told posting here was fine so here we go.

Not every fight has to be a huge spectacle of fists and lasers. Sure, they’re the cool ones, but here’s a bit of quick thinking from Superman, because with all his powers, sometimes moving straight forward into danger could get someone else hurt. Being all-powerful is nothing when you can’t use your head, too.
