He'd make a book about a cabal of geniuses having adventures way too complex for the average reader and with a wacky roster (since DC's geniuses aren't as well established). Just imagine, your new DC teambook by Hickman, starring The Brain, Professor Ivo, Lex Luthor, The Atom, Ted Kors and Mr Terrific! Now that I wrote it out it actually sounds kind of cool.
>sorry bro but we're here to blow up your planet and we'll kill all of you in order to do so
Did Hickman really want me to root for the expies over the "heroes?"
I liked the bit where Namor says something like "I will kill this world for my people to live because that's what being a king means, I'll sacrifice my own honour and spend nights unable to sleep over my guilt as long as my people are safe" because it's the perfect way to explain his morality.... But then they just made him evil without any remorse right after. Seeing Namor wracked with guilt over genociding planets for the sake of others would be way more interesting than evil butthole Namor.
You laugh but people who are religious are unironically better at handling stress because they literally believe they have mystical forces on their side
If anything goes wrong they can just handwave their fears by saying" oh the gods will protect me" or something and get back to business
Fair enough, Dr Fate would also beat Superman. What I don't get is why Strange refused to accept the Beyonders power and gave it all to Doom? Did Hackman ever explain that?
Kek, explain things? Naw he only does that for his favorites. I think Strange says something about Doom being good at playing god in secret wars and that's all you get.
I'm pretty sure Strange at that point had been selling off his soul piece by piece to do magic, leaving him beholden to evil forces in a way that Doom is far too proud to be.

Well that makes sense as to why Strange didn't take the power if he was sharing his soul with demons he didn't want them to have that power. Now why didn't Hackman simply point that out?
Main idea is that the Illuminati get back together to do hard man decisions. But mainly they just quibbled about morals while luck and other groups helped put off the hard decisions. .
But now they finally have a situation where they need to sacrifice an earth with DC -expy pure good superheroes to keep 2 universes alive and no one is coming to save them with a deus ex machina.
New Hickvengers was unironically great. Shame about the rest of Secret Wars though.
Hulk getting BTFO and gamma gays being humbled was the best thing about this event.
>Dude, what if our heroes were pieces of shit?
So stunning and fresh. Thanks Hackman.
>Hickman wrote the entirety of Secret Wars to have Superman upstage the entire Marvel universe
Why hasn't DC given this man a book yet?

Why is superman blonde
The Joker dyed his hair in his sleep so everuone would think he’s gay
I wish this was a real Avengers/JLA crossover.
Imagine if the incursions were happening in DCU.

No.
Namor was in the process of going full evil at this point.
I liked the bit where Namor says something like "I will kill this world for my people to live because that's what being a king means, I'll sacrifice my own honour and spend nights unable to sleep over my guilt as long as my people are safe" because it's the perfect way to explain his morality....

Well, he does go crying to Doom once he gets a clue.
Self awareness was never really his strong suit.

Avengers/Illuminati won by Strange summoning an Elder God to tentacle rape NOT JLA. So the gods kind of did.

If you don't think Doom is more qualified than Strange, you haven't read enough Strange books.
I'm pretty sure Strange isn't as evil as Dr Doom.

Can I get a quick run down?

Namor's always been a bit of a short-sighted prick
>Tim Hunter
Sassy Namor would have make that MCU movie so much better
