Rebirth started off amazing, Wally was back and it seemed like a return to form and then after a little while, it felt like they threw in the towel and said nope back to trash. My fear is Infinite Frontier sets us up for a great DC future and then the Snyder-cut hits HBO and ATT decides "well everyone likes the dark" "we need to make the comics more like the Snyderverse" "Look at the views it got. We can't lose"! I wanna say that, that idea is preposterous, but it sadly seems too real to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-69759620110586013382021-03-09T08:49:35.890-05:002021-03-09T08:49:35.890-05:00To be honest, I do not find this comic specially i...To be honest, I do not find this comic specially interesting. Some loud online fans complained about DiDio's Era being steeped in Silver Age nostalgia -even though it was not. Identity Crisis and Héroes in Crisis would never be okayed in the Silver Age-, but this issue was the same thing: a nostalgia trip, except it is steeped in Post-Crisis nostalgia instead of Pre-Crisis nostalgia (or what some believe the Silver Age was).<br /><br />That, and more pointless continuity navel-gazing. DC cannot help themselves. <br /><br />On Jon, I am not shocked to see another "Will Jon go bad?" plot. It was his only plot during Rebirth. People complained Bendis handling Jon, but at least he came up with different plot lines for Jon.

I knew things would go so wrong. Half-changes half-reverses. What a half-assed state. The biggest slap in the face is Alan Scott. Now that was disgusting.<br /><br />At least the current Super Sons comic is fun. It might be the only good thing DC is even doing remotely right and I doubt it's because they care, it's probably because they don't even notice it gets published at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-68156615333272507352021-03-08T20:05:08.526-05:002021-03-08T20:05:08.526-05:00I guess one reveal is that an older, more powerful...I guess one reveal is that an older, more powerful Darkseid is back? He implies he's more powerful than ever.<br /><br />Not happy to see Supergirl wielding the sword. I guess they feel the need to distinguish the 3 Kryptonians somehow, and it has come down to:<br /><br />1. Hope<br />2. Anger<br />3. Naïveté ? Sometimes bordering on stupidity<br /><br />There's a lot I'm looking forward to, but not necessarily the way DC is packaging things with backup stories. Seems cynical to me that if you are interested in the new Damian story that is a prelude to his upcoming solo book, you have to follow it from this month's Batman to this month's Detective. That's not even a "crossover," it's just sticking the story installments into the backs of different books. DC already tried that out in Future State with various crisscrossing stories.<br /><br />I'm an intermittent reader of Justice League, but am definitely on board with the new run, since I really like Bendis (and miss Young Justice and Legion of SH). I know Naomi will be part of JL, and hope the Wonder Twins and some of the other Wonder Comics characters pop up at the Hall of Heroes. (I guess the Dial H kids are headed to the Teen Titans.) Fortunately I'm also a fan of JL Dark, so I won't feel burned by the higher price.<br /><br />I'm hoping Bendis continues to have significant impact in the DCU and isn't just settling into being a freelance writer for them as some rumors suggest.<br /><br />T.N.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-92194161458857655982021-03-08T09:05:16.588-05:002021-03-08T09:05:16.588-05:00I agree, give Jon - and his fans - a break.
This...I agree, give Jon - and his fans - a break. <br /><br />This was a pretty decent book, lacking only a big surprise. In these book, I want a nice juicy revelation!<br /><br />Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.com
