The last Detective was “A” material and you know it. I know you cried, unless you’re a robot.

I do! I swear I do!

I actually contemplated giving this an A-. It’s faults are minimal, it’s tightly plotted, and it’s well-paced. I decided to bump it to a B+, in the end, because for all its good sides, it just isn’t that memorable and because I tend to be a little harsher on spin-offs.

Still, if it keeps it up over a few issues, I’ll definitely give it the A it deserves.

Yeah, I don’t think he knew who Fantomex was until he saw those.

…and i like to think Aaron is a huge fan of Vs. System, especially the Weapon X cards from the final set.

Huh. Anything’s possible. I guess it’s more fun to think of that as intended. Either way, it’s a funny line. Thanks for pointing that out!

Hey, I just noticed Osborn’s line in that panel of “Dark Reign: The List – Wolverine” – “Why don’t I own this?” A nice little movie reference. One of Daniel Plainview’s rants in “There Will Be Blood” began with “Why don’t I own this?” And in that film it was used as an early signifier that Plainview was in danger of going off the deep end…

I hope so too. Aaron’s no Morrison, but it’s still pretty damn sweet!

i usually don’t read Superman (cause i don’t really like it) which may sway my view or could have limited my enjoyment due to a lack of background knowledge, but.. i found the 3 BNS books annoying. too cheesy, simple and cliche.

art was awesome though. so not a complete waste.

I know it’s just for the money, but Marvel might actually have a good idea, when it comes to this new, 4-issue-event idea.

Bendis can’t spend 5 issues in the Savage Land with Siege. It’s only four issues. He has to keep it tight.

I just started making the Infinite Crisis comparisson myself with this issue. I’ll be interested to see the reaction from the Johns apologists when this thing wraps up. I have a bad feeling this will be a slower paced, more bloated IC (which was already slow paced and bloated to begin with).

The best issue so far?

Jeez, four issues in, and what’s happened? Zombies attack! Yeah, I knew that before I read the first issue.

Johns has been building up those resurrected JLA villains since issue one, with Barry and Hal ominously talking in front of them.

It takes Johns two issues to finally bring them up, making them last issue’s super-kewl last page. They’re on the cover of this issue, and they have a double-page splash, and then we never see them again! Seriously, look again. Do they even pop up in one panel?

I think Johns is getting distracted again, similar to how Infinite Crisis devolved into an event about Superboy-Prime whining.
