Marvelous Morts

The morts from last week were indeed from the Tangent universe, one of the 52 universes that comprise the DC multiverse and the source of a big DC event in 1997. I believe that Randy guessed just about everyone right, but as a review:

1) The red fish looking guy is one of the Sea-Devils, RedFin by name.

2)The woman in green carrying the lantern is Tangent's Green Lantern

3)The blonde sparkling girl is Flash

4)Mr. Muscles in the foreground is the Atom

5) The military guy is one of the Metal Men, and the current president of the Tangent America.

I recently picked up volume one of the Tangent series in TPB form and it was pretty good. I was particularly interested in their wide use of genre's, with only the Flash and the Atom being anything like a Super Hero story. Of those two, I really liked the Flash, since it was more a silver-agey story, where Atom was much closer to Watchmen with secrets and twists and turns. The Green Lantern was a Tales from the Crypt style Horror Anthology, with this GL having the ability to raise people from the dead so that they can finish one task. The Metal Men was a straight war story, albeit a good one, while the Sea Devils was a little more complicated to place in a genre, but was good in its own right.

Alright to make Joanna happy, the new Mort is Marvel. Enjoy!
