Yes, for those angry comic nerds anxiously awaiting my review of the big releases from DC tonight, here you go!
Flashpoint #5: About what I expected. No idea what the mumbo-jumbo with the Speed Force actually means or how it leads to everyone wearing armor and high collars. I didn’t even realize Barry’s mom was dead or that anyone cared in the first place, and I was reading from the late 70s all the way until he died in the Crisis, so this must be a new development. As everyone suspected, all the crossovers end up meaning fuck all.
Justice League #1: As the first part of a trade paperback collection it’s great. As the first issue intended to draw in the mythical new readers, who then have to wait until OCTOBER 19TH to read the second part and hopefully see more than just GL and Batman in the book, it’s a crushing disappointment. Jim Lee’s artwork is, however, breathtaking. I can withstand a lot of crap if it’s drawn by him or Dan Jurgens (see also All Star Batman and Zero Hour, respectively). I know that it wasn’t realistic to expect them drop the big 7 (or big 6 + Cyborg) fully formed out of the sky, but given all the hype I was hoping for a LITTLE more for my $4.
