Just a heads up, they got Nightshade in the DoV Special that came out this week.
That was a good read. They're really just decimating (ha!!) the status quo now. Bust this:
SPOILERS, COME ON!
- Captain Marvel is now caretaker for the new Rock of Eternity and thus can never leave.
- Nabu is dead, killed by the Spectre, all in a ploy to get the attention of Spectre's boss, which it does, and then Spectre is sucked into a new Mystery Host (get your copies of Gotham Central to read more! I'm guessing!)
- All that remains of Dr. Fate is the Helmet, no Nabu powers, but it's still deemed powerful by Nabs in his dying words, so Shadowpact chucks it into the sky, hoping that fate lands it in the lap of someone worthwhile. New Dr. Fate series, coming at some point whenever.
Also, in this week's Teen Titans:
SPOILERS! Where once there was a yacht, now there is not!
- Kid Eternity is back and he nonchalantly explains how and why dead people have been coming back so rampantly. At first Robin blames Eternity because he's been chained to the door betwixt the living and the dead and has disrupted it (somehow?) but Kid says "Nah, Broseph. It's been well fucked since Superman came back from the dead." (His words, not mine.) Now, wasn't that after Jay Todd died? So, we'll have to see how all this shakes out, but it looks like DC is actually going to try giving an explanation for how and why people are coming back to life. Good luck with all that.
Spec: Kid Eternity is a lock for the new Teen Titans.
And then there was this week's Superman. Another installment in Verheiden's non-ending stream of excerable dialogue and hack-ass situations. Superman is cornered by a bunch of fire-based villains who are setting outer LA ablaze. They've now Crossed The Line into killing because of what WW did to Lord. Okay. Whatever. But Superman explains that it was a mistake and, INSTANTLY, one of the Vills CHANGES HER MIND and turns on the other villains because Superman has explained it SO WELL. Fucking clown shoes. I can't wait for this ass-run of Superman of to be OVER. Every so called IC tie in has been a completely contained, completely irrelavent (Blackrock? Fuck you, I watch Lost too, dipshit) total dog.
Aquaman was quite good though. I don't know where this Kirk guy came from but he's like a Charest who can keep a schedule. Way to get me to care about Artie before you replace him with A That Guy From Smallville Analogue.
And JSA was also fantastic. A nice little character study of Stargirl with good art by the Villains United guy.
I think I'll do this every week! Bob LaBlaw Lobs Law Bomb! |
