Phantom Zone: Difference between revisions

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

** [[Grant Morrison]]'s ''[[JLA]]'' introduces the Ghost Zone, where the League battle Prometheus and later the White Martians. Morrison heavily implies that the Ghost Zone (or as the Martians call it, the Still Zone) is also the Phantom Zone ... and probably also the Stasis Zone that was at the time standing in for the Phantom Zone in [[Legion of Super-Heroes|M'Onel's]] origin and the Buffer Zone that [[Intangible Man|Bgzltians phase into]]. A more recent story adds [[Time Master|Epoch]]'s "timeless void" and [[DC One Million]]'s "tesseract space" to the list.

* ''[[Astro City]]'''s Samaritan has access to such a dimesion, but rather than use it for criminals or epic battles, he uses it as... [[Mundane Utility|a storage closet]], mainly holding all the awards and plaques he regularly receives. It's also a convenient place to change his clothes when no phone booth is available.

* ''[[Supreme]]'' (the good [[Alan Moore]] version) has Looking-Glass Land, literally the [[Literary Agent Hypothesis|same world visited by Alice]], but on a different continent of that planet, used to exile the criminals no normal jail could hold.

* The [[Grant Morrison]] ''Marvel Boy'' series had the "pocket battlefield", a small cube that essentially does to physical space what the "incoming games" did to Mainframe on ''[[Re Boot]]''; impose a virtual yet tangible interactive environment on the local reality, but the twist being that said environment gives anyone in it ''except'' the designated user a major case of the heebie-jeebies, giving him an advantage over his foes.
