I put that sort of sarcasm into the voices of the gamers which made it easier for me to deal with. Still nice to see them decide not to have Batman die for real.<br /><br />As for the plot, it is a bit jumbled. I don't think anything is in a video game. It is all real. But between violent spores, nanobots, hive minds, and hard light constructs, it is murky. But for me, it is also loud and fun.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-3122167964859008522013-12-10T21:10:00.775-05:002013-12-10T21:10:00.775-05:00I'm glad that you enjoyed this issue, Anj – I ...I'm glad that you enjoyed this issue, Anj – I gave up on page 9. I hate packing in a book after I've started it but this was a real chore and I just couldn't make it through. I didn't enjoy the last issue with the sideways panels and was dismayed to find the same format this time. Having to hold the book sideways feels awkward and makes the book feel oddly self-conscious.<br /><br />I'm not sure I followed the plot. What was real, what was computer? I suspect you have to be a gamer to get much from this comic - it reminded me of the worst excesses of Jeff Loebs' Superman/Batman comic, right down to an annoying Toyman-Boy. I'm afraid I found all the computer game talk incredibly boring and wanted to slap the testers. Especially that person pretending to be Jimmy Olsen.<br /><br />I certainly shan't be buying the rest of this storyline. $3.99 is too much to pay to be annoyed and frustrated.<br /><br />I do have something good to say – well done DC for putting all the ads at the back so the experience of slogging through it was slightly less awkward than last time.

This whole arc really seems inspired by some of the more wacky Silver Age-type adventures using modern tropes (online gaming). And as much as he seems to be ragged on I still think Booth's art is pretty good, outside of the occaisional funky looking face.Jaynoreply@blogger.com
