>Spectre went to Gotham

Completely unrelated, but it was my first thought upon reading OP

A bit overdramatic, Spectre.
Brandon Torres
Robert Nelson
Connor Ramirez
Wyatt Phillips
he certainly knows how to make an entrance
Matthew Sanchez
And a preview of White Knight sequel.

>”And if you let the Joker fall from a bridge, Batman, I will be so pissed at you.”
Easton Jackson
That's all. Hope You enjoyed this book.
Ryan King
I don't know much about the Spectre, but was he always a seperate entity of the host body? I thought the host just became the Spectre, instead of Spectre flying out whenever he wants
Thomas Smith
Thanks for storytiming, Op
Samuel Howard
>teen lantern
I've seen enough hentai...
Easton Reed
nice cover
Carter Johnson
Digging Hotz art
Jack Phillips
I hope the Spectre joins the JSA when they come back.
Luke Morgan
love it.
Ian Ortiz
Are you fucking kidding me. The fucking Spectre, the right hand of GOD can't sense him? WTF is this shit?
Robert Diaz
They must have god blockers.
Jacob Rodriguez
That what I thought too.
Wyatt Roberts
Nu52 retcon, maybe? He did behave differently in the older post-flashpoint mini
Owen Harris
Magic has logic, even divine magic. Same reason Spectre was effectively sidelined in Final Crisis.
Ryan Butler
Hotz and Baron are awesome team on the art
Eli Sanders
Why run?
Luke Ross
The art is really good this issue.
Jaxon Diaz
The Spectre has no place amongst superheroes.
Sebastian Ortiz
>no jokes about batman raping or killing the joker
tsk
Sebastian Morris
when is ever a good thing for a giant spectre to call for you like that ?
Dominic Wright
Near the end of Ostrander's run, yes. Corrigan and Aztar became so different from one another that they could look at each other and talk but that only happened because of all the character development the pair got.
Now they've just made the Wrath of God a Stand.
Ryan Sullivan
i really love how the spectre and his swirls are drawn in this and that's a nice cape update
Brayden Parker
As Specter punishments go at least this one was quick, unless that poor guy is now sentient blood that is.
Brody Parker
Either the Warden is corrupt of the most stupid person imaginable.
Landon Phillips
There is no internal logic, just writers writing stories they think are good enough for a comic.
Adam Cooper
Tomasi isn't the greatest writer of all time but the work is usually average or above. The spectre has been shown to be vulnerable to magic (particularly pseudo kabala/Solomon/judeo-Christian magic) so we'll get an explanation even if it's not a great one.
Lincoln Price
nice art
Isaiah Rivera
>Arkham Warden
>Corrupt
>Stupid
>Insane
Pick your poison
Lucas Wilson
So it's a cult worshipping Spectre?
Connor Peterson
>but was he always a seperate entity of the host body
Yes. Tomasi of all people should know this.
William Kelly
He was sidelined because Vandal Savage had the Spear of Destiny, the Spectre's Kryptonite, and used it against him.
Bentley Johnson
one of those guys has to be dead right?
Tyler Stewart
>Fleischer
Heh, I get it
Eli Powell
beautiful art and finally spectre is back
Jayden Murphy
Agree. Art was superb, even if it doesn't fit most mainstream cape comics. But this issue was great.
Justin Baker
RUN! IT'S SPECTREZILLA!
Nathaniel Williams
honestly. the fact that no one fucking mentions that book is bewildering. i mean it had templesmith and ferreyra doing horror art and ray fawkes being solid. one of my favorite experiments of the DCYou era
Daniel Walker
"Jeez guys..don't we have anything else to say?"
"Damn it, Gary...we should continue chanting..it's a cult thing.
"You said no names, Dave!"
Jacob Torres
Didn't they tease a cover like this after Final Crisis and people thought DC was gonna bring Bruce back as the Spectre?
Jack Hernandez
Badass
Asher Lewis
All I can think of is the Ghost Busters scene with the Stay Puft Marshmallow man
David Robinson
After Crisis on Infinite Earths, Steve Gerber was supposed to write a Spectre series. He asked Wolfman (in CoIE), Moore (for Swamp Thing), and Thomas (Last Days of the JSA) to depower The Spectre because he wanted to write smaller stories.
Then he never finished his scripts, visited the Howard the Duck movie set instead of writing, and got fired. Doug Moench was hired on to try to continue what Gerber had planned, and that resulted in a very weird Spectre series.
In it, The Spectre and Corrigan were two distinct beings, and whenever the Spectre wanted out, it would cause Corrigan intense pain.
Gabriel Thompson
Both of them had to reunite every 24 hours or they would both die.
The Spectre himself was just as strong as a regular ghost. So no big punishments, just possessing doors and shit.
Tyler Hernandez
He doesn't understand the meaning of the word
Nathan Sanders
Madame Xanadu with the exposition here.
But like the other user says, Tomasi should be well versed in Spectre lore. He was the assistant editor on Ostrander's run after the first year or so.
Austin Stewart
Ostrander basically retconned this entire run into a plot for Xanadu to steal The Spectre's power.
Michael Cooper
It came out at the worst timing possible. Which is sad because it was a good book.
Charles Phillips
>Batman’s eats are longer
Oh shit! Things are going to get weird!
Samuel Jackson
it isn’t too tall though, I wouldn't expect things to get too weird
Angel Richardson
It is cool to see Batman teaming up with the Spectre.
Makes me wish Alan Scott was in the DCU for a team up.
Mason Phillips
Adding to the Spectre being able to separate from his host like this actually dates all the way back to the Golden Age near the end of his time in More Fun Comics. It's a lot older than Moench's take. Here's an explanation of it from the Silver Age.
Logan Watson
>TL is not scared, but intrigued.
Nathan Gray
AZRAEL BAD
JOKER GOOD
Grayson Howard
>”God demands the Joker must be raped Batman. It is his will.”
Christopher Evans
Luis Howard
HA HA! Perfect.
Cameron Bennett
>eats
what?
Caleb Torres
>I am God's Vengeance.
Bruce:
Joseph Campbell
Ears. The longer the ears get the crazier/weirder the story is.
Josiah Thompson
>Bailey and Fleischer
Ayden Bailey
>Ollie dies in CoIE
>becomes the new Spectre
Noah Torres
He really doesn't. He should have a contest which Stardust to see who can be the bigger justice psycho.
Parker Murphy
The Spectre's pretty crazy, but at least he isn't Stardust.
