That really only includes Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Flash. I think Black Lightning was involved in that storyline too, but I don't know if he actually would have met Orion. I don't know, it's weird but I'm reserving judgment until I see more issues.<BR/><BR/>It seems like all of Death of the New Gods didn't happen, so I'm so glad I spent money on that. I wonder if New Genesis/Apokalips are even really recombined.<BR/><BR/>I do hope Scott Free gets some love though. I don't mind Shilo Norman, but I don't want him to be the only Mister Miracle in this series.Patrick Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244280974612331889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-5627581102432152372008-05-30T09:20:00.000-07:002008-05-30T09:20:00.000-07:00Does this mean that Cosmic Odyssey never happened?...<I>Does this mean that Cosmic Odyssey never happened?</I><BR/><BR/>it does make me wonder how many--if <I>any</I>--New Gods story have taken place before on New Earth.<BR/><BR/><BR/><I> Hal is always something of a doofus, but he usually carries it off with a lot more panache.

I think you'll dig it, despite the difficult subject matter. Sim's doing an art thing similar to <I>glamourpuss</I>, only with photos of the Holocaust. I don't know how he can look at them so long, as it was pretty heartbreaking just skimming the panels; I couldn't imagine spending days constructing them.Calebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01391759187396994380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-18174632705339886872008-05-30T07:22:00.000-07:002008-05-30T07:22:00.000-07:00Is Judenhass a one-shot or a serial?

I like the idea of the teenager's version of revenge, and Jaime's realization that he can't solve every problem.<BR/><BR/>I liked Final Crises. It pretty much ignored all of Countdown, but I count that in its favor. At least it didn't have Skrulls in it.<BR/><BR/>Green Lantern was lovely, it was so nice to see Hal being a doofus and a rookie. Hal is always something of a doofus, but he usually carries it off with a lot more panache. At this point in his career he just doesn't have a CLUE, and I'm enjoying it thoroughly.<BR/><BR/>I gave up on New Avengers, Avengers, Mighty Avengers, whatever a while back, when it finally dawned on me, that the story had some witty dialogue, but that was it. It has been months now, and nothing is HAPPENING! How many times can they show that same dinosaur?<BR/><BR/>Ultimate Spider-Man however was very good. I find that I like Bendis much better when he concentrates on a smaller story or fewer characters.SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-76192853834365939302008-05-29T16:52:00.000-07:002008-05-29T16:52:00.000-07:00Does this mean that Cosmic Odyssey never happened?...Does this mean that <I>Cosmic Odyssey</I> never happened?
