Spoilers! DC Comics launches the new Elseworld series Allwinter, a sequel to the Dark Knights Of Steel series by Jay Kristoff, Tom Taylor, Tirso Cons, Riccardo Federici. One of the fun aspects of these titles is to see just how certain familiar figures from DC Comics are portrayed in different timelines. But it seems that there is another difference, visible to those who pick up a copy. "The snow falls thick, blood runs black, and color itself is only a distant memory." As we get a black-and-white world…
With Vandal Savage and Killer Frost striding across the barren wintry wasteland. But their version of Deathstroke finds something different among the covered tundra, a young boy who Vandal Savage has a fascination for.
In this DC Comics time of long, long ago, we have something of the far, far future. That is also bringing a little colour with it.
Kamandi, The Last Boy On Earth. From the far future desolate wasteland, now finding the same in the distant past. And bringing a touch of Pleasantville to this world. And a colour that seems to have spread to other stories in which we meet other significant figures with less power as well, but with just as much influence.
See, wherever you go right now, Amanda Waller is there…
