I must not read enough DC books, because I totally didn't get it. I guess it means Barry Allen is back? I would not have known that if I hadn't read it on CBR or somewhere. After I heard that, I went back to look again, and I still don't get it. You've got a lightning bolt, and a red-colored caption with the Flash logo, but that's it. I guess I'm missing something.<BR/><BR/>Overall, I thought the issue was okay; 50 cents seems like a decent price, but since it's pretty much just an ad/trailer, it really should have been free. Some of the stuff seemed interesting, but I also was pretty confused; I sure hope it's not going to be impossible for me to understand Final Crisis.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13867868039166531163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-35586868339701426762008-05-01T12:33:00.000-07:002008-05-01T12:33:00.000-07:00People keep telling me that Secret Invasion is som...People keep telling me that <I>Secret Invasion</I> is some thinly-veiled slam at Islam, but I'm really not seeing it. It's not like the Skrulls are some new invention. They have been around for like 45 years, right? It's not like this is a creation of Homeland Security to make us feel better about the Iraq War.<BR/>Even if it were a satire or parody (whatever) of Islam, so what? Everything is ripe for satire, or should be anyway. If you keep the kid gloves on for everything, all of the bad guys in every story would just be Nazis.<BR/>I also don't see why Islam should be exempted when Christianity is so frequently used as the justification for bad guys. Nobody complains too much about the overt slams against Christianity in X-Men, do they? Reverend Stryker, Reverend Craig, etc. are xenophobic Christian lunatics, and not even Bill Donohue seems to bat an eyelash.<BR/>I think everyone and everything should be acceptable fodder for satire.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I'm an atheist, so it's not like I have any particular attachment to Christianity.JohnFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09339402431610031589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-74300293319902466752008-05-01T10:39:00.000-07:002008-05-01T10:39:00.000-07:00If you didn't refer to DC Universe 0 with such res...If you didn't refer to DC Universe 0 with such respect, I'd swear the entire issue was total gibberish. Seriously, what the hell was that? Is this even a story? Is any of it supposed to be coherent at all? Or is Final Crisis going to be entirely impossible to decipher for anyone who hasn't been following every little detail of DC Comics since forever?Moryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811255096467614445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-82138347509237194532008-05-01T08:43:00.000-07:002008-05-01T08:43:00.000-07:00Caleb: yeah, that was Triathalon...Caleb: yeah, that was Triathalon...snellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181997862745538999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-6452390151743007472008-05-01T05:45:00.000-07:002008-05-01T05:45:00.000-07:00Secret Invasion personally struck me as a story ab...Secret Invasion personally struck me as a story about radical Jews deciding to turn Palestine into Israel because it was a "promised land" they hadn't actually lived in for a thousand years...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-16563586526961337182008-05-01T03:53:00.000-07:002008-05-01T03:53:00.000-07:00I don't think Bendis thinks his readers are really...I don't think Bendis thinks his readers are really, really dumb; rather, he knows his readers are meticulous when it comes to the details.
