Today, DC Comics reprints final 12 months’s New Golden Age Special in addition to Justice Society Of America #1-3, which uncovered a Power Girl downside
Today, DC Comics reprints final 12 months’s New Golden Age Special by Geoff Johns, Mikel Janin and extra, as nicely as Justice Society Of America #1-3 forward of the brand new Golden Age titles launching subsequent week with Wesley Dodd’s The Sandman. But this rewriting of continuity did expose just a little one thing that the remainder of the DC Universe appeared to disregard.
Geoff Johns‘ Doomsday Clock meant to point out DC Comics continuity returning to the primary line, courtesy of 1 Doctor Manhattan, who took it away within the first place. With the New Golden Age displaying a brand new timeline throughout the DC Universe for the Justice Society.
With a Justice Society Of America working in 1976. Long earlier than the likes of Superman and Batman got here alongside, within the present DC Comics timeline.
This is the type of factor that might have fitted in with DC Comics’ 5G, till that was performed away with. But it gave us a Power Girl as a part of the DC Universe earlier than any of them.
Which does not tally with the Power Girl seen within the present DC Comics sequence, who jumped from Earth Two to Earth One rather a lot later, when Superman was already there.
Power Girl has at all times brought on DC Comics issues with continuity, turning into Supergirl, dropping her Earth Two origin, regaining it, turning into a man-made lifeform, or altering her identify repeatedly. Oh, and the butt of many a joke.
Of course, Power Girl is not the one present DC Comics character who could also be inflicting issues, as Zealot’s confrontation with Harley Quinn within the Birds Of Prey #2…
Does Harley Quinn know that Zealot’s presence within the present DC Comics Universe is on account of the DC and Wildstorm Universes merging? Allowing her to be each previous and new?
DC Comics goes to wish one other Crisis, is not it?
