thought this issue was the weakest link of the series.

I actually thought this was an improvement on past issues, and quite liked Buddy's eventual fate. So nice that Conway felt no need to actually kill him, which was always a possibility. The chat with the aliens had faint echoes of the Morrison run, though not nearly as good. Still I never liked the art and could never quite get past how awful those two villains were - like refugees from the 90s. Those covers though - WOW. Every one of them was excellent.

Yeah, the covers where all great.

Did anyone notice that the Flash was BLACK in this book? Talk about a poor coloring job. Ouch.

@Lewis - The Flash of 2014, according to the writer Gerry Conway, is black. Not a coloring error.
Overall a great mini series. I kept thinking, for whatever reason, that I wasn't enjoying these issues as they came out month after month. Yet everytime I finished one, I really enjoyed it. Conway hits all the notes that Morrison and even Tom Veitch did in the 90's when it came to who Buddy Baker really is. A family man with doubts and a D-list hero who is in a constant struggle with his powers. This will be a great "re-read" in the future. Plus, who doesn't enjoy seeing a Green Lantern whale?

This has been pretty good. Not great, but not bad either. I'm just glade it's over.
