Brian Azzarello's "For Tomorrow" Superman storyline.



I also think "Bruce Wayne Fugitive" and "President Luthor" fall into this catagory. Both were stories that, to a lot of fans, didn't make sense at the time and DC is already either forgetting them (shouldn't Bruce be like the OJ of the DCU at this point) or undoing them (Luthor).

And then there's the large number of stories of characters who died, but then "got better": Green Lantern and Green Arrow being the most prominent.

Can you think of a more "WTF" moment than the idea that these two guys both came back from the freaking DEAD and now no one really bothers to discuss or react to all the implications of that?





I think CRISIS ranks high on the WTF list, retroactively re-writing the DC Universe history, and editing out many of my favorite characters from 50 years of continuity.

Such as KAMANDI, and Earth Two (the JSA Earth), Earth X (Quality Comics heroes), Earth S (the Shazam/Marvel Family universe), and so on, melding things together in a way that wasn't as attractive to me as the separate worlds.




You can pretty much go year by year through DC's history from that point forward, following CRISIS (1985-1986) and go through each annual mega-crossover event as an annual WTF event, ruining a month's worth of DC titles.


And I definitely mean WTF in a *bad* way !

    LEGENDS (1987)

    MILLENIUM (1987)

    And then INVASION the year after that (1988).


    And I'm less clear on the dates of each after, but...

    ARMAGEDDON 2001

    WAROF THE GODS in the same year

    then ECLIPSO

    then BLOODLINES

    then ZERO HOUR

    then FINAL NIGHT

    then GENESIS

    then DC ONE MILLION

    then KINGDOM,

    Then DAY OF JUDGEMANT,

    then SINS OF YOUTH,

    then OUR WORLDS AT WAR
    and LAST LAUGH within one month of each other.

    then something with Gorillas in a bunch of annuals.


And then I stopped caring about crossovers (if I ever did)
