I guess all one has to really know is that storylines will be seeded for a long time to come thanks to threats coming through the crack in the Hellmouth - I mean Source Wall.<br /><br />I thought No Justice was kind of ridiculous. Just couldn't get past the Magic Trees.<br /><br />And I gave up Justice League after #2, so here I am adding a comment on an issue I didn't read, oops. Scott Snyder isn't for me. I think this kind of dense fantastical writing, crazy concepts and mad science, as Anj and the commenter above have described it, requires more confidence in the writer than I am willing to grant. I fear it's sound and fury signifying nothing. Magic Trees is only the beginning of it. I guess I prefer more grounded stories.<br /><br />Apparently Justice League Dark is going to continue to investigate Magic Shrubbery, but I'll give it an issue or two.<br /><br />I also like the new Trinity team membership, but with it functioning now as an Official Justice League Adjunct Response Team, charged with investigating source wall phenomena, and complete with an official minder reporting back to the JL, this may be another title where you're either on board with Weird Science Shrubs, or not.<br /><br />I do have some hopes for Justice League Odyssey - at least, I like the team. But I have a feeling they will just be in space dealing with the same stuff.<br /><br />I hope the Supergirl and Lois/Jon stories don't also get mixed with the the Magic Source Wall of Shrubbery. Otherwise, you are either on board with the Snyderization of DC, or you just wait for it to burn itself out.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-76374767845016716882018-07-10T15:54:42.726-04:002018-07-10T15:54:42.726-04:00In my head Ultraviolet and Ultraviolent are too cl...In my head Ultraviolet and Ultraviolent are too close for coincidence.<br /><br />So I keep trying to think about some Infrared word play.<br /><br />Infra-read? for calm knowledge-y feelings?Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-27219117829773838392018-07-10T08:18:05.985-04:002018-07-10T08:18:05.985-04:00Definitely a packed issue. So many events happenin...Definitely a packed issue. So many events happening on so many fronts... and so many crazy concepts and mad science... It kind of feels like a Silver Age book.<br /><br />Since there's an Ultraviolet Ring, what about Infrared? That's the only color of the spectrum missing.<br /><br />That last panel with the Joker is creepy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
