Hello and welcome back to OH GOD IT BURNS!!! Your buyer’s guide to bad comics. As you all now know, Dan DiDio was recently let go from his position as publisher of DC comics, and while he left a lot of genuinely good comics behind him, there were many missteps along the way, especially those that followed what I like to call DiDio’s Decree, his admitted editorial philosophy that heroes shouldn’t be happy. Last week we covered one such gem from this era – the fantastically miserable Justice League Cry for Justice – and this week we’re going to take it one step further by covering its follow-up series, which has somehow been able to reach almost mythic levels of notoriety among us connoisseurs of graphic garbage. I, of course, am talking about the impressively disastrous Rise of Arsenal mini-series by incoming Green Arrow writer JT Krul. Clocking in at only 4 issues, this series makes itself essential to any collector’s longbox of cursed and forbidden comics, including some very memorable scenes that show the erectile consequences of superhero child loss, the first appearance of the beloved crack ghost of jazz past (do I smell key issue?), and a scene where a smacked-out Arsenal tries to resuscitate a dead cat that he had mistaken for his dead daughter. And if that wasn’t enough to convince you to give this a buy, then what if I told you that this title holds the unofficial record for most nonviolent clenched fists ever jammed into a single issue? This is one for the ages, ladies and gentlemen, so snuggle up with your copy of 2010’s Justice League – The Rise of Arsenal on the only podcast dedicated to celebrating the worst comics ever published… --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ohgoditburns/message

Having just covered our reactions to the news that Dan Didio had left DC (which you can listen to in the previous episode), we felt that it was necessary to take a short break from Frank Miller’s tragic sequels to the Dark Knight Returns universe, and focus our attention briefly on some of the worst stories to be published under Didio’s watch. Thankfully, we didn’t have to put too much extra work into it, since we had already recorded and handful of unpublished episodes that we decided were too rough to ever see the light of day, but now seem pretty relevant, and among them were 2009’s 7-issue superhero tribute to misery porn, Justice League: Cry for Justice by legendary writer James Robinson, and it’s follow-up Rise of Arsenal by JT Krul. As we touched on last episode, following fan outcry to DC comics putting the kibosh on Batwoman’s marriage, Dan DiDio took to the forums and responded to fans thusly: “Heroes shouldn’t have happy personal lives. They are committed to being that person and committed to defending others at the sacrifice of their own personal interests. That’s very important and something we reinforced. It’s wonderful that they try to establish personal lives, but it’s equally important that they set them aside. That is our mandate, that is our edict and that is our stand.” For my money – and yours – there’s no series that better exemplifies DiDio’s Decree and how horribly it can backfire than Justice League: Cry for Justice. So join Bruno and I as we cry, shout justice, and cry while shouting justice in the series that is destined to stand out as the crown jewel in your longbox of cursed and forbidden comics on this week’s episode of… OH GOD IT BURNS!!! A Buyer's Guide to Bad Comics. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ohgoditburns/message

In this episode of Indefensible Ink, Ryan and Justin are reunited and ready to discuss 2009's little-loved DC miniseries Justice League: Cry for Justice. Will this grittier, "rogue" version of the Justice League leave your hosts crying for mercy? Or will JL:CfJ deliver the superhero goods? Ryan and Justin examine why the most compelling character in this series is a big-game-hunter-turned-talking-gorilla, alleged superhero threesomes, and the ethics of shrunken superheroes expanding inside villains' sinuses. Also discussed: DC's comparatively mundane names for its super-powerful artifacts, Justin makes a startling self-discovery, and the ways in which the main bad guy's plans involve ripping off a late-80s Marvel crossover event. Discussed: Justice League: Cry for Justice #1-7 (2009-2010).

Leviathan CGI was interesting, not great, not crappy Compressed light blasts - aww yeah Bad-ass punch to the head Kendra v Savage Really liked the mace effect Kendra laid into Savage and Carter with a bad ass spiked mace - no blood Legends and Cassandra Savage v. Shock Troops Casandra with the throwing knife in the back … But why did they stand around when they had Savage at the start Time Travel: Share your thoughts He knows where his family is even though they were at Whitechapel - can't get his family to safety. OK, so no matter what he does Savage's forces keep killing his family - time wants his family to die, yet he's still trying to change it. Rip Hunter Running into the final battle at the rally with no real plan - yet another example of not great captaining A bit of a dick not wanting the refugees on board Gideon He basically gives up when the Waverider is damaged. Vandal Savage Great speech at the start Vandal Savage's Daughter - Cassandra Savage Decent training montage with a katana She didn't know that the Armageddon virus was unleashed by Savage, and that Savage created Per Degaton… and there came the inevitable reveal Joins the rebels at the end. The Atom - Ray Palmer “It worked, I'm not dead… yet” Giant Sized ATOM Looks crushed when Kendra says “we need to talk” White Canary - Sara Lance Aside from decent staff fighting, not a lot Kinda weird that she brought up the whole soulmate thing with Kendra, but she's her friend, so I guess it was in character Hawkgirl - Kendra Saunders Golden mace is pretty cannon - Nth metal Hawkman - Carter Hall Spike mace training scene, he wasn't actually a bit of a douche Captain Cold - Leonard Snart Solid throughout the episode, esp. In his interactions with Cassandra Backstory with his dad who was a monster is a lot of callback to the Flash Episode with Golden Glider as well. Heatwave - Mick Rory “It works with my outfit” It's great when Mic is actually into the role - his looks while interrogating the daughter was kinda awesome. Firestorm - Professor Martin Stein Cared about the refugees, but didn't have a lot to do - was injured for the climactic fight. Firestorm - Jefferson Jackson Ray's cheering section - not a lot of direct action since Stein was out of commission. Waverider/Gideon EPISODE DC EASTER EGGS:  Season 1 Episode 13 “Leviathan” (Date: 29 Apr 2016) Article:http://comicbook.com/dc/2016/04/29/dcs-legends-of-tomorrow---x-things-you-might-have-missed-in-levi/   Leviathan: There have been two Leviathans in DC Comics.  The first Leviathan was Gim Allor, a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes.  The most recent Leviathan wasn't a person at all, but an offshoot of the League of Assassins.  Talia al Ghul created Leviathan to oppose Batman Inc. Growing Atom: Savage's Leviathan is clearly a giant version of Ray's ATOM suit The Rebel Leader: Sharon Taylor, who played the unnamed Rebel Leader on tonight's episode, was in Smallville, she played Zod's lieutenant Faora Cassandra Savage: Cassandra Savage is actually based on a different DC character...  Kassandra Sage is one of Vandal Savage's daughters in the New 52.  After the police arrested Savage for a string of sacrificial murders, Kass grew up to become a profiler for the FBI, specializing in serial killers.  After not speaking to Savage for years, Kass used her father to help solve a string of copycat murders committed by the son of the man who arrested Savage.  Of course, most fans were hoping that Cassandra would wind up being Scandal Savage, a member of the Secret Six, a group of anti-hero mercenaries. Extra - thumping class of scotch looked like Jurassic Park. Extra - did anyone think of Capt.

(Date: 23 Aug 2016) * You may recall last month pics surfaced that gave us a look at that mysterious black-clad speedster, and the actor that was playing him. * The images clearly show Todd Lasance (The Vampire Diaries, Underbelly, Spartacus: War of the Damned) under the mask, and we recently learned that this new character was actually Savitar…. * Except, he isn't! * Hollywood Reporter wrote up a piece confirming that Lasance would be playing Savitar. * Greg Berlanti then took to Twitter, refuting this report and saying “Savitar has not been cast”. * TV Line then confirmed Todd Lasance is playing The Rival Link:http://www.comicbookmovie.com/the_flash/todd-lasance-has-been-confirmed-to-play-savitar-on-season-3-of-the-a144759 Link2:http://comicbook.com/2016/08/24/heres-who-todd-lasance-is-really-playing-on-the-flash/ Flash: Casting for the Top announced AND Ep.3.04 details (Date: 18 Aug 2016) * The Flash has cast Ashley Rickards as Rosalind "Rosa" Dillon a.k.a.

"We love working with Teddy. He's such an amazing actor and amazing person, and was so much a part of the success of this show last season. There aren't any immediate plans for that, but you can't keep a good Black Flash down, so I'm sure we'll be seeing him in the future."
