	JSA #14 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		Extant has the Worlogog discarded by Hourman, and can now see all space and all time, and therefore cannot be surprised.
		Thus, Extant’s “map” of space and time has a tiny blind sport of flaw that might be exploited against him, if he can be distracted.
		As Extant prepares to wipe out the remaining JSA team, he is surprised first that he cannot “see” their next move, and second that they disappear and are replaced by the JSAers he thought dead.

	[No title]
		Extant was formerly known as Monarch (see Q11, Q12); he changed his identity when he learned the truth of his origin.
		Extant is pictured as a figure dressed in red, fl, and purple.
		Extant's plan was to then reshape the universe in his own image.

	Johnny Quick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Johnny Quick is the name of two DC Comics characters, each with the power of superhuman speed.

	BACK TO REIGN IN THE DCU: THE RETURN OF MONARCH? - NEWSARAMA
		Extant appears to be the main villain behind the events of Zero Hour at first, and he is responsible for killing the Golden Age Atom, Dr. Mid-Nite and Hourman (though Hourman is later rescued due to the time-manipulating machinations of the android Hourman III, who takes Hourman I’s place).
		Extant is also shown to be the previously unrevealed leader of Team Titans, which had been a hanging plot point from that title, a New Titans spin-off that featured groups of Titans from an alternate future timeline.
		Extant attempted to escape, but thanks to Atom-Smasher, with assistance of the New God Metron, he was forcibly swapped with Atom-Smasher’s mother, who had recently died in a plane crash.

	The Unofficial Comics Crossover Index - Zero Hour (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		According to him, the effects of the "universal crisis" never settled, and chronal shockwaves from that event are only now causing disruptions in space-time.
		When they face Extant and seemingly defeat him, all seems to return to normal, but the rest is only temporary.
		As Superman is about to deal the final blow, the heroes are shocked to learn that Extant was only doing the bidding of Parallax, the man who was once known as Hal Jordan, Earth's Green Lantern.

	Rich Johnston - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Johnston's column Lying in the Gutters, is currently hosted at the Comic Book Resources website, although a variation of the column has existed since 1994, when it appeared as postings to USENET.
		Johnston was the first to report the motivation behind Bryan Singer's pro-gay subtext of the upcoming Superman Returns movie, as well as the likely outing of a number of its stars during the publicity process.
		He was the first to reveal suspect financial dealings for Dreamwave, to suggest the collapse of CrossGen and to put allegations of non payment to Speakeasy Comics.

	Atom-Smasher - www.ezboard.com
		Returning to the mansion, the team learned from Metron that Extant had killed the rest of the JSA and that the universe was about to end (JSA #12, July 2000).
		There, the team battled Extant's minions and learned that their allies were alive and well inside Fate's amulet.
		Extant attempted to escape via a time tunnel, but was pursued by Atom-Smasher and Metron.

	JSA Members: The Atom
		The popular Tarbell, the son of a freight magnate once aided by the Atom (All-American Comics #22), was a popular figure around campus as well as ring leader of a gang of guys who routinely harassed Pratt.
		In the summer of 1941, the Justice Society was involved in a plot to disturb the fabric of American history by executing eight individuals destined to occupy the White House over the next five decades.
		When Extant threatened the timeline during the crisis known as Zero Hour, the JSA led the battle against them.

	SAVANT:: Essay
		At shows dominated by comics dealers and comics writers/ artists/ publishers, a certain amount of space is left in back, generally entitled "Artists' Alley", for creators to show off their work and maybe, just maybe, sell some of that work.
		Never mind that most of the audience that the comics industry is desperately trying to reach either can't afford or can't justify blowing $15 for a one-day pass or $35 for a three-day pass to go rooting around the basement of a hotel in search of the one comic that might make them regular readers.
		What should replace the standard comics convention as a gathering place for creators and a showcase for publishers is a very good question, but the convention as it stands ill-serves the comics community.

	The Visual Linguist: 12/04 - 12/10
		It also seemed to comment upon a number of phenomena that occur in the “comics medium,” but didn’t seem relevant to the thesis (such as conventional graphic symbols).
		Guess what: whether they actively read comics or not, most everyone in our culture knows what a “comic” or “graphic novel” is to the extant that most scholars write about.
		By continually defining it where its not needed, “comics” (the social objects, and thereby the visual language associated with it) is implicitly placed into a “minority” position in the realm of criticism and scholarship.

	Comic Book Resources - Comic Book News, Reviews and Commentary - Updated Daily!
		It's the belief of several of my peers that the way forward, to attach the potential (as opposed to the actual present-day) audience for comics, is to do superheroes really well for a major corporation who can force them into the cultural spotlight and into new sales venues.
		I still believe that it would be better to shore up the system we already have while looking for alternative ways of bringing comics to people, than to let the entire system collapse and start from scratch once the dust has settled (God knows how many years from now).
		But we still need to clear away the majority of the 80 to 90% of all monthly comics publications that are in the superhero genre.

	Fanzing 28 - Aug/Sept 2000 - Hall of Justice
		Extant attempted to help Parallax restart reality later on, aging the JSA in the process and killing three of their members: Dr. Mid-Nite I, Atom I and Hourman I. Extant escaped justice several times over but recently battled the newly formed JSA.
		During the battle, Metron and the JSA forced Extant to be temporarily cut off from his time powers and then transported him onto a plane seconds before it crashed.
		As Extant, Hank was connected to the timestream and was nearly omnipotent with time powers.

	JSA: Darkness Falls [2002] Shaking Through.net: Comics: Review
		In JSA, the ongoing monthly superhero comic chronicling the exploits of a modern-day Justice Society of America, DC Comics is staging its own version of Times' climactic rematch.
		The Justice Society, DC's first super-team, is revered by fans of comics' storied past, and nostalgic souls are no doubt cheered by the prospect of such Golden Age stalwarts as Jay Garrick and Alan Scott flexing their muscles in today's post-modern climate.
		The Extant storyline highlights one of the major flaws of this new JSA: All of the action is directed from without.

	Recycling Bin 01 - Evil Future Selves (1998)
		Back in the mid-to-late seventies, Marvel Comics let Jim Starlin work on an old property of theirs that hadn't really gone anywhere in his previous stories (and certainly had never been able to support his own book in any real sense).
		Captain Atom was a purchased property from another comics company, and not a long-time DC regular at all.
		Those who lament the sad state of the cutting edge "new" comics might look to the indolence of such blatant rehashing as one thing driving readers away from the mainstream.

	[this is aaronland] Thursday, January 24 2002
		I am no fan of Marvel Comics but Peter is a friend from the way back "I have measured my life in coffee spoons" days.
		Now that he's big and famous I will be able to make him do my bidding by threatening to release the drawing I did of him with olives in his nose.
		That part of the teeth which is extant above the gums.

	Notes: Davey Oil :: mike.whybark.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Davey Oil is a fixture of the current Seattle cartooning and comics scene.
		I have an extant talk with him in the can but not placed, alas, in which at one point he said something and immediately clapped both hands over his mouth, wide eyed.
		No, I don’t think that the reason is because of the attention that large book publishers have been paying to comics, because I don’t think that attention has really been felt by most cartoonists that I hang out with.

	SAVANT::Rant
		Lots of comics readers refer to their monthly comics bills as their "habit", and they've managed to put a finger on that old thready pulse.
		Just as with a crack house, comic shops have no incentive to clean up or to arrange their wares: their customers are going to buy and buy, no matter how filthy the conditions or surly the help.
		They go for superhero comics because they feed the egos of those who plan to get even the moment they get super powers, and the more popular ones are those where the powers could come at any time.

	Batman's Shameful Secret - Frequently Asked Questions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		It was revealed that Extant was what happened when the Monarch, a B-list villain whose gimmick was that he was the ruler of the Earth in a dark alternate future, managed to merge with Waverider and gain his time powers.
		A minicomic is any comic a writer/artist produces on his or her own without help from a professional company.
		And so, many comics shops in the US and Canada aren’t exactly havens of non-superhero reading; indeed, the old saw dictates that about half the comics stores in the US don’t look past the front half of Previews (the half featuring only DC, Dark Horse, Image, and Marvel’s little supplemental package) in ordering anything.

	Challenge of the Superfriends: Secret Origins of the Superfriends Review - Jabootu's Bad Movie Dimension
		One can easily imagine how tots who grew up to be today’s generation of comic book writers might have had their youthful imaginations fired by the myriad of possibilities implied, if not remotely examined, by this episode.
		Again, I’m not a follower of DC comics, but I imagine much arguing has occurred over the years as to why, first, a Green Lantern had need of a spaceship; second, why he would allow the craft to crash; and third, why he’d allow himself to be injured were this to happen.
		Lest we are rusty on our comic book lure, the show’s Omniscient Narrator identifies the planet as the "birthplace of the young Kal-El." (As opposed to the birthplace of the "old" Kal-El?) He doesn’t mean Nicolas Cage’s kid, by the way, he means Superman.

	Saved By Zero! :: The Comic Fanatic.Com! :: Comic Book Reviews, News, Previews & Interviews For Comic Fanatics!
		Extant removes his mask and Waverider sees his own face staring back at him.So ends issue 3.
		Extant is talking to Waverider — he states, “I combined the powers of Monarch (remember Armageddon 2000?), Hawk and Dove, and ultimately you.” A very powerless JSA is standing nearby.
		Extant is confused, as he did not cause this.

	Same Mask Different Identity, Same Identity Different Mask
		The first Batgirl that had ever been seen in DC Comics was Betty Kane, the niece of Kathy Kane, a.k.a.
		The third Citizen V is the granddaughter of the original Citizen V, and is the grave enemy of The Thunderbolts, who she hates for disgracing her grandfather's name.
		The first Sandman to appear in DC Comics was Wesley Dodds who took up this costume to calm the nightmares he was having due to the capture of Morpheus the Endless (the "real" Sandman), as shown in Neil Geiman's Sandman #1.

	COMICON.com: KILLRAVEN RETURNS!
		Don't get out the leisure suits or disco shoes yet, though, because although this comic is based on a classic character it's got a modern flavor.
		Once again the House of Ideas is looking to the past to define a new present, as they let fan favorite Alan Davis recreate cult classic Killraven for a whole new audience.
		The mini-series, although bearing the same name as the '70s headliner from the Amazing Adventures comics, has no set ties to that one.

	Titans Tower: Terra
		The time-villain Extant commanded all the Team Titans to attack the heroes who were trying to unravel this time crisis.
		I could do that, I knew, because comic book convention would demand that readers ignore all the evidence and assume she was a good girl.
		This is comics, however, and a D.N.A. test proves little; she could be a clone or from an alternate timeline [we only have Time Trapper's word that she is from this timeline].

	JSA Members: Doctor Mid-Nite
		As McNider, Mid-Nite largely abandoned his writing as his medical research contributions reached a prominence they had originally held before his career as a mystery-man. He particularly excelled at optics research as he tried to apply the work on his own blindness to blindness in general.
		During this battle, Extant used his powers to undo the spells that had kept the JSA vigorous beyond their age.
		Almost immediately, Doctor Mid-Nite and Hourman engaged Extant in hand-to-hand combat and were aged even further.

	Trinity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Valérian comics, the Trinity appeared as a tough, street-hardened police sergeant (Father), a hippie (Son) and a broken jukebox (Holy Spirit).
		Conybeare, has questioned the authenticity of Matthew 28:19, however, the majority of scholars of New Testament textual criticism accept the authenticity of the passage.
		There are no variant manuscripts regarding the formula, and the extant form of the passage is attested in the Didache and other patristic works of the first and second centuries; for most textual critical scholars this is sufficient evidence to prove authenticity.

	Perpetual Comics Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Eisner is the innovator, the comics genius who created most of the storytelling techniques at play in INDIGO SUNSET, but Veitch comes as close to making them his own as any comics creator in recent memory.
		This is very common in today's comics and, indeed, in most fiction, but the tradition of super-hero comics...and I think it's a good tradition...is that the heroes are there for others, usually at cost to their personal lives.
		Too many super-hero comics feature story after story of an old enemy seeking vengeance on the heroes with the rest of us being little more than battlefield props.

	Roberson's Interminable Ramble: June 2005
		And David Goyer, who started out as a screenwriter, then wrote comics for a while, and now primarily seems to write screenplays based on comics, is one of the key players responsible for the success of Batman Begins, arguably the best comics-inspired film to date.
		In the last few decades, as the comic market has withered on the vine, the superhero has been in the process of migrating first to the television screen, and then to the silver screen.
		I've said for years that sooner or later superhero comics would go the way of epic poetry--there'll still be a few people creating them, a few people willing to buy them, and a bit of money to be made from selling them, but they won't impact the larger consciousness at all.

	The Unofficial Extant Biography
		When she, too, was killed, by a future incarnation of Hank himself, he went completely over the edge into madness, taking on his future persona as Monarch, a despotic madman.
		It seemed that the only way to stop him was to kill him, and this was the course eventually taken by Atom Smasher, whose mother had recently been killed in a plane crash: he substituted Extant in his mother's place mere seconds before the crash, ending his threat once and for all.

		Written by Tony Velasquez, the Father of Philippine Comics, and published in the Pinoy Komiks in January 1966, ALEX' NINO'S Mikrobyo is a manifestation of Nino's attempt to triumphantly enter the class of the great Filipino illustrators.
		Although Coching was more well known for his serious comic art, which by the way influenced generations of Philippine comics artists, yet unknown to many, he started out his career as a cartoonist in the Silahis Magazine.
		Since "Filipino Comics Closet Queen" (as well as the other names "he" is using in my comments section) persists like a strong virus, I decided to put an end to his existence in my blog.
