Identity Crisis #5 - comments and spoilers (cover revealed)

95 posts in this topic

$10-20, and all of the big online dealers are sold out. You can still find them on eBay for cheap in lots or not listed as Identity Crisis tie-ins, but if they are, bang.

 

And, BTW, I think the bad guy is the Mirror Master.

I just picked up a set of 9.6s @ Metropolis today. I think I already have the books, but bought them just in case. Superworld is offering the books on their site (nm) as well. Seems like the Nightwing rumor could be true. Just from reading the DC solicitations, looks like his title is running a year one story, and Robin and Batgirl are now operating out if Bludhaven.

I don't. He gets the [!@#%^&^] kicked out of him by Wildcat on the 6th page.

 

I'm leaning more towards the Calculator as the catalyst. The first two attacks were on the spouse of the heroes who humbled him back in 'Tec 468 (Elongated Man and the Atom). That leaves GA, Black Canary, Hawkman and Batman as possible targets.

 

Any increase in interest in Detective 463-468 because of Identity Crisis?

 

I think though that he is being backed/hired by someone with resources and access to information who wants to take it to another level altogether... by hitting Batman and Superman through their loved ones... Lois and Robin (obviously Robin's dad is the prime target in this issue). Wonder Woman may be targetted shortly...

 

I still think Amanda Waller is a strong candidate, but I have more doubts.

 

And I think Digger is going to die in a blaze of glory and that's his funeral taking place in Flash 218.
