Hey all,
I've got a ton of DC complete single issue sets available and a couple of Marvel sets. I've been fortunate that I've been able to offload most of what I was selling through r/comicswap this week and a couple of people have already received their issues. So I wanted to put this up one last time before putting everything left on Ebay.
Prices are negotiable and include shipping to CONUS. Everything is priced to sell, we can work something out if you're interested in any lot!
Everything listed below is a complete run and in NM/VG condition, everything was pretty much just read once and subsequently bagged and boarded.

Power Girl is in that strange category of superheroes who aren't quite iconic enough to be household names, but can still spark arguments among hardcore fans. Yet most of her notoriety stems from exactly one thing. And if you're a fan, you probably already know what I mean.
First making her debut in All-Star Comics #58 in February 1976, Power Girl (also known as Karen Starr and Kara Zor-L) first came to prominence as a member of the superhero team "The Justice Society of America". She can fly, she's superhumanly strong, and she has x-ray vision and heat visionβwhich you might recognize as Superman's powers. That's because she's also Superman's cousin, and a fellow survivor of the planet Krypton's destruction.
Now, even if you're only casually aware of the Superman comics, you might know that Superman has a younger female cousin who also fights crime. But doesn't she call herself "Supergirl"?
Well, yes. And that's where it gets complicated.
See: Power Girl is actually an alternate version of Supergirl from the alternate world of "Earth 2"βwhich is technically a whole universe, and was created before there was an "Earth 1". And, strangely enough, that's probably the least confusing thing about this whole mess.
So why is there an alternate version of Supergirl?
Answering that question actually requires diving head-first into the bizarre history of American superhero comics and their odd relationship with American history.
See: the American comic book industry really took off at the height of the Great Depression, when cheap entertainment was in high demand. Comic books were an appealing source of affordable entertainment for American kids struggling through the Depression, and superhero stories were a great escapist fantasy for people who needed a spark of hope in a time of hardship and uncertainty. This led to a famously fertile period in the history of American comic books known as "The Golden Age of Comics", which lasted roughly from 1938 to 1945. And National Allied Publications (eventually renamed "DC Comics") emerged as one of the biggest comic book publishers in the world during that period.
For various reasons, superhero comics briefly dipped in popularity after World War II, forcing DC Comics to cancel several of their monthly comic books and retire their lead characters. A-Listers like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman survived, but mid-tier characters li

It kinda makes you wonder if the DC heroes exist in the MCU, even if it's just the fact that DC comics exist.
It's also a nice treat. The Marvel vs DC war between fanboys can get bitter, and it's kinda neat to see them name-drop Superman and Clark Kent in a MCU movie.
All we need now is for Disney and Warner Brothers to work on a crossover film that features both MCU and DC heroes.
It's happened before in the comics, and both studios stand to shatter box office records if a film has both Spider-Man and Batman in it.
But for now, I like the name dropping of DC comics characters.

On a visit to a museum he found the Helmet of Fate, which started to talk to Khalid giving him vivid hallucinations.

Disclaimer, I probably still think Wonder Woman: Bloodlines is worse lmao
Watched the Injustice movie last night, and it was pretty fucking terrible.
The movie starts with killing Flash in the dumbest, funniest way possible and no one even gives a shit.
Second, they make Nightwingβs death even fucking dumber somehow. Mf doesnβt even his his neck on a rock, he just dies from the baton hitting his head.
Third, this isnβt really a problem but itβs fucking hilarious - why the hell does Riddler and Calendar Man charge the League during the βescapeβ when fucking Superman and Wonder Woman are right fucking there? Bitch just stay in your cells.
Next, I fucking cannot stand this Harley. She just makes everything she is in worse and is so goddam annoying. I enjoy her show version for the most part, but this version was unbearable. βItβs Hero Harley!!β bruh you killed Arkham guards and let all the prisoners out and made everything infinitely worse. Green Arrow shoulda let Superman fry your ass. Why the fuck did Batman let her join them? Lmfao
Another, I was fucking over Wonder Woman tryna suck Supermanβs dick the whole time. βBy your willβ and when she tries to kiss him. Ugh. Just shut up and quit making shit worse.
Another, I was actually okay with Supermanβs idea. Locking up the inmates somewhere they canβt actually escape from is a much better idea when these mfs literally get out all the time. But them this jackass has to wild out and murder a bunch of teenagers because they dressed as Joker and called him a facist. Like okay dude maybe youβre actually buggin now.
Also heβs a dumbass for teaming up with Raβs al Ghul. What the hell did he expect? βOh no a VILLAIN betrayed meβ bitch shut up.
Earth One Superman shouldβve clapped Evil Superman like the game does. Now weβre gonna get people sayin dumb shit like βsee if Superman didnβt hold back..β hush and go watch Superman vs The Elite
Plastic Man was the real G in the movie.

#Edgy and Provocative
The Dark Knight Returns. Watchmen. The Killing Joke. The Sandman.
Take a look at any list of bestselling DC graphic novels, and you'll see a lot of the same titles over and over again. And you'll also see that they have a lot in common. There's a lot of Batman, a lot of Watchmen, and a lot of Alan Moore. And, they're all considered, one way or another, to be "mature".
Now, the "mature" label can mean a lot of things to different people. For some, it means extra violence and sex. For others, it means it provides commentary on themes and subjects that appeal to older readers. Maturity can mean "politically charged", or "edgy and gritty", or even "gross and juvenile".
Dark. Gritty. Political. Sexy. Violent. Controversial. Rauchy. "Mature". These are descriptors that DC (and by extension Warner Bros.) has happily embraced, and you see can see that brand extend out to other media adaptations, too, from The Dark Knight to Joker to Zack Snyder's rather divisive vision of a cinematic universe. Now, that's not to say that DC doesn't market to kids (after all, Teen Titans Go! and DC Super Hero Girls are incredibly profitable franchises), but it's fair to say that DC and WB really want to corner the market on "adult" superhero media.
So it wasn't too surprising when DC announced in March of 2018 that they were unveiling a new imprint called "DC Black Label" for mature superhero stories. Citing works like Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, DC: The New Frontier, and Watchmen, publishers Dan DiDio and Jim Lee promised mature-rated "edgy and provocative standalone stories" for the likes of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. In truth, it really meant getting big name creators to tell "evergreen stories" (aka standalone stories not tied to any continuity) with

The journey of a young hero taking the mantle and weight of a great hero that came before can be a story for the ages if done right, as seen with the likes of Dick Grayson, Miles Morales, Wally West, Cassandra Cain, Kamala Khan, and countless others. But legacy heroes can also be the source of endless fandom drama, stirring up heated arguments and pitting fans against fans, fans against writers, writers against editors, and so on.
I've written previously about how DC turned Batgirls fans against each other, and then re-united them against the company. And have maybe willed a Batgirls book into existence. Today, we're tackling an even more contentious subject: the many, many Green Lanterns, and how DC's treatment (both good and bad) of one hero Hal Jordan ignited the wrath of multiple character fandoms.
#In Brightest Day...
To start, here's a quick primer. A Green Lantern is a superhero who has the ability to create green hard light constructs using a ring that gets its power from a power lantern. With their power ring, a Green Lantern can construct anything they put their mind to: boxing gloves, guns, cars, Wonder Woman, girlfriends, etc.
While Alan Scott was technically the first Green Lantern, created in the "Golden Age of Comics" (which spanned from the 1940s to early 50s), the modern GL mythos that we know today came about in the "Silver Age" (mid-1950s to 60s), along with Hal Jordan, who is the most well-known and most marketed Green Lantern today. Hal was a test pilot who received a power ring and lantern from a dying alien whose ship crashed on Earth. With the ring in hand, Hal joined the Green Lantern Corps, an interstellar force that policed the universe. The Green Lantern Corps was overseen by the Guardians of the Universe, who are connected to the Green Lantern Central Power Battery. Hal was adventurous, brash, and cocky. And he was infamously an idiot.

Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 141 lbs
"Kate Kane survived a brutal kidnapping by terrorists that left her mother dead and her twin sister lost. Following in her father's footsteps, she vowed to serve her country and attended West Point until she was expelled under 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.'" -- intro to the New 52 series
After her expulsion, Kate was inspired to fight crime by an encounter with Batman. She wears the Bat to honor his inspiration but operates independently of him.
Kate is also first cousins with both Bette Kane (AKA Flamebird/Hawkfire) and Bruce Wayne.
Note: Batwoman did not receive a full reboot with the New 52, leaving Detective Comics #854-863 and parts of 52 still canon despite taking place in the pre-Flashpoint era.
Additionally, Dark Nights: Death Metal restored everything in DCU history, even if contradictory.

Stay Super, my friends! π¦ΈββοΈ
Edit: The age range for this set is Late 30's through the 70's, a bit of the 80s.
It didn't take long to find out that the cards are more hero oriented (βΉοΈ). I went through again and the villains that show up are : Two Face, Joker, The Penguin and The Riddler. There are also some vague one shot baddies.

In an attempt to cure the hearing-impaired, brilliant geneticist Kirk Langstrom created a formula to emulate echolocation in human beings. Unfortunately, this had the side-effect of transforming patients into bloodthirsty, human-bat hybrids. To cure these people, Langstrom would purposely infect himself with the virus, allowing his DNA to produce an overriding pathogen that would reverse the serumβs effects. Thus, the Man-Bat was born.
The Man-Bat serum is very much a work in progress, and the effect it has on Kirk's biology is unpredictable. Higher doses can make him stronger but more feral, while later on, his cells better adapt to the change and his natural tolerance makes the serum's power wane. For the purposes of this thread, I will only mark feats that are explicitly outside of the serum's capabilities, like when Kirk was on Venom.

Wonder Man is a character who debuted in Wonder Comics #1 by Fox Publications in May 1939. However, the publisher was sued by DC Comics for Wonder Man's similarity to Superman, resulting in the very first comic copyright lawsuit, and making Wonder Comics #1 his only appearance.
Fred Carson was a radio engineer for the International Broadcasting Corporation who was given a magic ring by a mysterious man and was embued with supernatural strength, speed, and endurance, after which he swore to fight for the weak and the oppressed.

##Harvest
Harvest is a man from the 31st century, in a time when "metas"--superpowered humans--have turned on normal humans. After Harvest's son was killed by these metas, he decided to take revenge on them and destroy them all before they could get too powerful. So he went back in time to the 21st century, where there were less supers, weaker supers... supers that were easier to kill.

This really might be controversial & honestly y'all can say I'm being stupid because of the fact that;
Comic book fans should be happy regardless, it's not a competition between marvel & DC. Just let ppl enjoy what they like, etc etc
But I'm going to be honest but I feel sad that DC just isn't living up to its potential in terms of property.
I'm not just talking about movies but now it's starting to feel like that with video games.
Marvel has great spiderman & wolverine standalone games coming out & while they're both street level esque characters who are more popular than other heroes, I can't help but feel like DC has become the 'hipster' choice in like comic book related media.
DC basically relies on Batman far too much and even when it is not, it seems like the evil superman trope is being played with too much with the injustice series, the new suicide squad game, and then you have things like Homelander, Invincible that go deeper into evil superman tropes.
Throw in most DC media focusing on Batman/Batfamily, not enough good superman, wonder woman, flash etc it just seems like DC is only being known for that - Batman.
I just think DC should've invested more into it's other heroes and put them on great video games that tell stories if they can't do it in movies/TV cause let's be honest - the movies are kinda hit or miss, which sucks in general.
I'm excited for the Flash movie but man, do I wish DC as a whole would invest in their video game division or their tv division more instead of making things like titans basically retread batman storylines with Dick, or the cw shows that start off good, then basically turn into mush.
I know the GLC show is coming, that Bloodsport show, Peacemaker show are also coming, the Flash movie, Aquaman 2, Shazam, Black Adam & WW3 are all coming but maybe I just want more?
What do you all think? I'm pretty sure I'm overreacting but man, do I wish DC had more of a fingerprint over the new generation/mainstream than just being Batman & criticize superman for being too OP
Bouncing off of the Batgirls drama write-up I saw a few days ago, I noticed several people who were interested in hearing more comics drama, so I figured I'd do a write-up on one of the most infamous and damaging things DC Comics has ever done to a singular character (short of detailing what Grant Morrison did to Talia al Ghul). How do you take a popular minority hero with a Top 15-selling solo series who was part of the core Batman cast and turn her into an obscure d-list character who didn't get a true spotlight focus for nearly 15 years afterwards? DC Comics found a way. So let's talk about Cassandra Cain. Warning: this post is long as hell, so settle in.
The Backdrop
The year is 1998. After the death of the second Robin, Jason Todd, in 1988 (infamously decided by a phone poll so close DC still has the pages they would have published if readers had voted for him to live) and the subsequent introduction of the third Robin, Tim Drake, in 1989, the Batman franchise was once again in a narrative place where it could support multiple connected characters. There hadn't been an active Batgirl in over a decade since Barbara "Babs" Gordon had voluntarily hung up the cape in 1986, subsequently been shot in the spine and fridged in The Killing Joke, and later re-invented as the wheelchair-bound hacker and information broker Oracle in John Ostrander and Kim Yale's Suicide Squad. The number of recurring female heroes in the Batman books was approximately three: Stephanie Brown/Spoiler (a recurring fan-favorite in Tim's Robin solo), Helena Bertinelli/Huntress (featured regularly in various Bat books with occasional solo appearances), and Barbara as Oracle (who was also co-founder and leader of the independent Birds of Prey team book).
Enter DCU Executive Editor Mike Carlin with a definitive assertion to Bat Office Editor Scott Peterson after years of hinting that the Batman books needed a new female hero: "Create a new Batgirl. Or I will." Peterson was resistant, thinking the Batgirl role should die with Babs, but "an edict was an edict," and so he started brainstorming. After a day or two, he called up write

Dr. Light could still play a role but as chief villain/comic relief and not a rapist.
Wonder Woman: Amazons Attack! could simply have Circe mind control the Amazons into attacking Manβs World instead of them attacking of their accord, with Wonder Womanβcaught between her feelings for both Themyscira and Manβs Worldβstanding in their way.
Batman: The Widening Gyre could take out most of what people didnβt likeβBatman soiling himself, accidentally getting stoned, the sexual humor, etc.βand be about a younger Bruce Wayne who has to balance a long-desired romance with Silver St. Cloud (causing conflict with Catwoman) with an increasing level of assault from numerous villains, all while trying to keep his private life a secret from Silver to keep her back in his life after they broke up previously.

Arguably the most renowned and feared bounty hunter in his day, Jonah Hex takes his high-value targets in dead or alive (usually dead). Raised by an Apache tribe and trained in bladed weapons and gunfighting, heβd go on to use his skills in the American Civil War for the Confederacy. Attempting to return to the Apache tribe after the war, one of Jonahβs rivals would sabotage a traditional ritual, causing the leader of the tribe to brand Hexβs face with a hot tomahawk. Fortunately for him, his scarring would go on to become a terrifying image for his quarries, synonymous with violence and death.
Despite being usually relegated to the late 1800s, Jonah frequently finds himself interacting with the heroes of the modern day. Whether it be exploring time-warping islands with Wonder Woman, partnering up with Booster Gold, or Black Lantern resurrection during the Death Metal Crisis, the universe seems adamant on making the Gilded Age bounty hunter interact with the present day.

When Kent Nelson was a child, he was brought by his father on an expedition that had him laughed out of anywhere he sought funding from, chasing after extraterrestrial wizards he saw in his dreams. But this was not some fantasy but Nabu, one of the original discoverers of magic who helped shape its use to become a Lord of Order. After compelling Kent to trigger a trap that killed his father, Nabu reformed him in an instance, filling him with all his arcane knowledge while bringing him to a maintained physical and mental peak. Donning the helmet Nabu had put his soul into, Kent Nelson became Doctor Fate, one of the Earth's most powerful sorcerers. But as the years progressed, and as chaos continued to spread, Nabu became discontent, and began seeking a means to bring back order to the world.

My Jumper is supposed to be an OP genegineered clone hybrid of Homo Magi (for the magic and the various human perks), Tamaranian (for the energy projection), Czarnian (for the regeneration), Demon (for even more magical/divine might), Kryptonian (for the usual reasons), Martian (for the advanced shapeshifting), and Monitor (for the cosmic powers).
Jumper is more or less the genegineered clone of the love child of Superboy (if he were a full-blooded Kryptonian) and Miss Martian. Someone created the clone and modified them to add significant materials from various other high-powered races, by means of genetic super-science and/or alchemical magic. They succeeded beyond everyone's expectations and the mix grew to be more than the sum of its parts by unlocking huge potential for magic and cosmic powers, brainpower, willpower, polymath brilliance, and fighter talent. However, such a genegineered masterpiece inevitably escaped their creators' control.
Addition of even more high-powered races to their genetic soup is possible but I tend to dislike God and New God because of the mandatory Domain specialization and potential dependency on worship, Angel because of the links to Abrahamic mythology, and 5D Imp because of the zany silliness.
I wonder which entity or group, be it Earthly or alien, would be most appropriate to create such a complex genetic masterpiece. This is relevant to define Jumper's background and Heritage. I welcome suggestions in this regard.
I am concerned Jumper would inherit the Monitors' ineptitude, but I tentatively assume Evolved Beyond Such Primitive Weaknesses (or possibly some other Perk) would get rid of the problem. Is this right?
Would it make sense to stack Clone and Experiment for this build?
