My favourite in recent months too. You made me think more about the ending than I originally caught on about the children leaving their names in moon rocks so thank you for that part in particular.<br /><br />LouisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-10315759718719200102018-01-19T10:01:28.193-05:002018-01-19T10:01:28.193-05:00A great issue, better than the last story arcs.

Superman was a snarky fighter decades before Peter Parker got bitten.<br /><br />"And then Superman gives them a new challenge, a scavenger hunt. The key item, a picture of Batman smiling."<br /><br />Oh, that was great.<br /><br />"Their lives might not last long but at least there is some permanence somewhere."<br /><br />Beautiful scene.<br /><br />It reminds me of a scene of "The Lord of the Rings". The book, of course. Frodo and Sam are trudging through Mordor, feeling starving, thirsty, exhausted and hopeless. Then Sam sees a star twinkling in the sky and feels more encouraged because, as bad as things are on Earth, there's everlasting beauty not even the Dark Lord can touch, sully or ruin.<br /><br />Once again, excellent issue. It's nice someone reminds us every so often why our heroes are heroes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-32589840184373272672018-01-19T08:30:24.576-05:002018-01-19T08:30:24.576-05:00'Of course, Batman looks perplexed/constipated...'Of course, Batman looks perplexed/constipated/uncomfortable for most of the issue.'
