Martian Manhunter's narration includes the phrase “that is not dead which can eternal lie,” a direct nod to H.P. Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu", where Lovecraft describes the ancient entity's immortal nature.

Complete clickbait title, absolutely nothing worth reading in the article.

It's the "Gaslight Universe" (Gotham by Gaslight etc.), which in The Horror That Came to Gotham, the whole story revolves around a Lovecraftian entity being discovered and brought back to Gotham, which begins to take over the minds and bodies of everyone in the city.

Knowing that, I think it's kinda cool to come up with a different origin for a different version of a well-known character.

That title is absolutely click bait, though.

A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.
