I preferred the first issue over the second one, mainly due to the fast paced action and Jorge Jiminez's art. This part was still solid though, Jon helping out the Teen Titans and Kathy's guest appearance was a nice throwback to Tomasi and Gleason's earlier run. If you haven't read DC's March solicits, Kathy is appearing in the Bizarro story arc. Loved seeing Conner, Bart and Cassie at the end, hopefully they get reintroduced to the DCU after this crossover.<br /><br />LouisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-69881094720469002962017-12-26T13:12:15.499-05:002017-12-26T13:12:15.499-05:00“I long for the old good Pre-Crisis days where rid...“I long for the old good Pre-Crisis days where ridiculous-sounding science was funny.”<br /><br />I long for the old good Pre-Crisis days when heroes literally could time travel but couldn’t change the past.

Your comment comes across as condescending. People liking something you don't doesn't make them bad, or stupid, and who knows, if you gave these comics to members of your family they might actually enjoy them.<br /><br />I much prefer bright heroes doing good things - I'm always going on about wanting to just see characters go on holiday, test their abilities, have fun without an apocalypse - but doom-laden prophecies are a superhero trope, with the point almost always being that, nope, no one is 'destined' to go bad. Light beats darkness. I'd be delighted not to see any more visitors from the future out to kill someone in the past, but good creators can transcend a cliched starting point.<br /><br />Guess I'm just a Comics Dude.Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-50742573619684572642017-12-26T08:30:59.547-05:002017-12-26T08:30:59.547-05:00"Why?

Its' like DC doesn't know what else doing with the character."<br /><br />THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU! I'm so sick of it, it's actually making me angry that DC is so determined to torpedo Jon's possibilities for this same tired, need-to-justify-disposing-of-him-like-DC-does-with-all-its-heroes'-kids BS. And having the evil Titans East (which those versions of Connor, Cassie, & Bart are from Johns' Titans run) is just the extra-disgusting icing on a garbage cake. The only thing I'm more sick of than "Jon is eeeevil" storylines are the people who constantly fall over themselves to defend them. <br /><br />I want a Super Sons book I can give to the kids in my family, not one where two characters who can't stand each other butt heads constantly while the plots constantly remind us that the nicer & more likable one is ~destined~ to be evil with every other damn plot. But DC would rather desperately hammer everything back to Byrne's Man of Steel than actually realize what they have & use it well. And too many Comics Dudes are good with this, for a list of really icky reasons they probably don't even realize themselves.<br /><br />Dr. Anj, you're a stronger man than me for putting yourself through these month after month.Melahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05539894845356203447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-89931664829272879112017-12-26T08:13:00.124-05:002017-12-26T08:13:00.124-05:00Honestly... my interest is low.

Its' like DC doesn't know what else doing with the character.<br /><br />And I agree with the "Batgod" comment. "I've shut everybody's powers' down with a poorly-explained deus ex machina! Fear my mind!" I long for the old good Pre-Crisis days where ridiculous-sounding science was funny.<br /><br />At the very least the final appearance of Conner, Cass and Bart is enticing. Are they the Pre-Flashpoint versions? Or some alternate universe counterparts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
