Has any one read the epilogue, cool potential story is there? author is stuck with figuring out the story though.

 

I would like to point out that while some people dislike the new 52, it achieved what I believe DC set out to do. That is, to give people like me, that have never picked up a comic before in their life, a perfect opportunity to jump into comics. Sadly, now I'm spending about 30 bucks a week on comics, but other than that it was a good thing for me.

 

tea cozy? and supes hanging people out windows, isn't that batman's thing?

 

An alternative is to use the DC animated universe canon (Batman the animated series, Superman the animated series, justice league/unlimited, batman beyond) as the cross-over setting. The DCAU is much far less continuity-snaring as a whole than the comics.

 

Wouldn't this be true for any graphic novel/comic turned cartoon? X-men, IronMan, SpiderMan, The Fantastic 4, and The Avengers; when compared to there printed origins they are a lot less restrictive. Some episodes for those cartoons are made specifically for the show with no base in the comics.

 

yes, but they'd still have more material to work with than say, the movie canon of said work.

 

So which fics did you find that were good?
I've tried Terminal Justice in the past, but I couldn't really get into it (felt like reading it was pointless, moreso than most fanfics). It wasn't bad, I just got tired of the standard Make A Wish plotline.

I checked out "A life Beyond the Hallows" but I didn't really like it at all. It felt poorly written to me. I remember feeling the same way about some other fics here I read in the past (IIRC, it was "A wizard in Gotham" but I could be wrong).

So yeah, there are a lot of fics here (and as mentioned, many are practically clones of each others): which ones are the best? Is Terminal Justice really the stand-out winner here?

 

I personally like Harry Isley, even though it isn't finished. There is no reason, I just like it. I think the reason Terminal Justice is so recommended is because, it is just a fun fic. There is no serious plot to it, Harry(Mr. Black) is just having some fun while on vacation.

 

Yeah, I see where the appeal in Terminal Justice comes from. It's just that I've already read MAW, so the fic felt really repetitive and formulaic, combined with the lack of a plot and I just felt like there wasn't enough reason to keep reading it.

I'll check out Harry Isley. Any other fics that stand out from the crowd?

 

Water Mage's is one of the best, but hasn't been updated in a while ( I think he's busy on Awaken Sleeper). Mutant Storm is readable.

Most of them are kinda shit, to be honest.

 

(coughs) More Kara.

 

This is why I didn't feel like reading through all of them looking for something decent.

But yeah, I read Water Mage's story a long time ago.

 

Needs moar links D8

 

here we go...

 

Jor's got a fever, and the only way to fix it is more cowbell..........err I mean more Kara.

Protector, Imposter, Angel
Run Away in Gotham
Shadowmage
Teen Titan Potter
Harry Potter and the Invincible TechnoMage

Journey of the IronMage
Harry Potter X
Harry Potter: A Life Beyond the Hallows
Harry Potter: ShadowKnight

 

I am too lazy to actually go to Caerazkaban, so I am asking it here: Is Terminal Justice completely finished? I believe the last time I read it through, the ending was a bit iffy with the last chpater being something that could be considered an end, except for the last note: final chapter to be posted.

That said, my own contribution which hasn't been mentioned yet, I think:

(Though it is the fic that Pro guy based 'Anthony Stark and the Iron Teen' on)

My review:

Pretty decent from what I remembered with an awful (though luckily barely mentioned) OC romance, but otherwise a combination of none-too-terrible writing, a nice bit of length and a relatively well working crossover. Definitely one of the best Marvel crossovers.

 

Yeah, I don't think TJ is finished completely. There's mention of a chapter to come. Over a year ago.

 

Hellblazer: Hogwarts

Technically Vertigo, and over 5 years gone without an update, but still my standard for comics/HP crossovers.

 

Terminal Justice is definitely my favorite dc cross. The expanded one shots and whatever really make it a fun read. I'm sure it will be finished one day. Haven't seen a Harry/Kara done better. I'll have to check a few of these stories out.

 

Terminal Justice, while a passable story on its own, fails to capture the essence of both DC and Mr. Black. DC universe is a grim place where even the supposed heroes are flawed and human. Mr. Black is an oblivious but competent wizard who just happened to have a most fearsome reputation.

What he is not, however, is a wizard capable of destroying Darksied and his Furies singlehandedly. Mr. Black is can be far more engaging character than his " band-aid wizard" portrayal in TJ.

Any DC or Marvel crossover should follow the mould of Project M (the definitive marvel cross-over, IMO), where magic is just another superpower with it's strength and weakness. Otherwise the conflict would be onesided and hardly engaging.
