If you want to disagree with someone's bible studies, make sure you do it to their living, breathing face. That's how we roll in South Guernsey. The bible stuff is basically utter, utter, cods anyway - Vandal Savage turning into Cain, for God's sake.
The double Bludhaven attack is, as My Mom says, a bit stuttery. Once you've got the hag of the idea that Count Vertigo and Alan Scott are not the same person, you work out that the timeline goes:
1) An issue of the Daily Planet is printed just before an assault on Bludhaven by Checkmate, led by Director Bones - this is the subject of the "Bludhaven, here we come" headline.
2) Director Bones leads an attack on Bludhaven, with conventional forces, Checkmate/Suicide Squad supers and Atomic Knights. For some reason, nobody else goes along, including Checkmate leaders Alan Scott and Mr. Terrific. The force is defeated.
3) Alan Scott, despite having the Ray as a super-fast messenger boy, waits for the Unternet to be activated before revealing the plan to make a last stand at Bludhaven,since that went so well last time.
4) Rather than going to Budhaven, Alan Scott stays at what I assume is Checkmate headquarters and defends it with Hawkwoman while the Omega Offensive is prepared. The Omega Offensive, I suspect, is a bus.
Despite all this, and the fact that the dupes of Darkseid in Rock of Ages had cooler headgear, this was a fun read. Nice sense of bigness. Possibly the message, ultimately, is that crossovers are big in inverse proportion to being any good. I mean, if you actually read Crisis on Infinite Earths, it was really pretty bobbins. |
