May 26, 2012 5:52 pm Really cool show. *I don't really like Wonder Girl. She's too overzealous for my taste. I like her in the last run on Teen Titans, but right now I'm not a fan. Maybe later she'll grow on me. *I still love seeing Nightwing being the head of the team (they really need to come up with a name. I hope they aren't calling themselves Young Justice) and giving out orders. *Batgirl was awesome this week and it was pretty funny seeing her sneaking through the vents. *Miss Martian's also really grown as a leader, compared to when she first fought Mister Twister back in episode 3. *Bumblebee's pretty cool as well. She seems very cool under pressure and it was pretty smart to give Batgirl a wake up shock with her stingers. Did she give a jump start to her heart though since her blasts are electro magnetic? Or are her blasts sonic blasts as it states on Wikipedia? *Jaime's really growing on me now. He's slowly becoming one of the new main cast of the show outside of the other team members so there are probably big things coming for his character so I'm still standing by my "the Reach are the "Competitor" and there are going to be an army of Scarab warriors fighting the team" theory. *Nice seeing Apache Chief also :)

May 26, 2012 5:44 pm I think the Reach are collecting humans to make into an army of Scarab wearing warriors. Another hint from "the answers will come to you" from the grandfather makes me think the Reach are going to come to Jaime or something. (I just figured out this week that the Scarab's voice and Jaime's are the same, except the Scarab is deeper)

May 26, 2012 5:42 pm Great finale! Loved seeing Saint Walker in action alongside Mogo. Everything really came together in the end. Can't wait until next season. Maybe we'll get to see the war of light play out.

May 23, 2012 2:34 am If I had one really big complaint though, it is Morrison's disjointed style of storytelling where it always feel like a conversation half finishes or it suddenly feels like you're missing a page.

May 23, 2012 1:47 am Wow. That came out longer than I thought it would be. Sorry about that. :P

May 23, 2012 1:46 am I've always found Morrison to be a mixed bag for me. I don't hate his stuff (crazy purple Bat-men aside) since in the long run they have been very impactful and pretty cool. Animal Man is probably one of my favorite things he wrote. It's also probably the most straightforward thing he's written and it was just superbly written. I love the Buddy/Morrison talk at the end. Final Crisis was meant to be big, and it kind of was. It's not my favorite Crisis, but Darkseid's whole taking over the world thing was pretty epic. Did it really affect the books that were coming out? Not really. It was pretty self contained and crazy towards the end, and I would have loved to see what he did with the New Gods, but it was just okay to me. Nothing great. All Star Superman is probably my favorite Superman story aside from Secret Identity. 52 is probably one of the best things I've ever read, not to mention a huge achievement for putting out an issue every week with that level of storytelling on the first try. Seven Soldiers was a pretty cool maxi-series. I loved Guardian, Mister Miracle, Shining Knight, and Frankenstein. The ending was kind of meh to me, but it was interesting that it was a team that wasn't really a team. JLA is probably one of the best Justice League runs ever written. I mean, New World Order was just a great and epic story and so were many of the others. World War 3 had some good points and some things did confuse me (like meeting those otherworldly protector Gods during the Rock of Ages storyline) but it's still a solid run. Now, his Batman stuff. Probably my favorite story he wrote so far was the The Island of Mister Mayhew. Great mystery story and seeing the beginning of Batman inc was pretty exciting. The Clown at Midnight story I did not like since the storytelling and art killed it for me. I'm not a fan of the cg art and, it's not like I don't like books, but it's not what I want to see when I open a comic. Batman R.I.P. was great...up until he turned into Zur-En-Arrh Batman and went crazy. I still don't know if I buy that he has a contingency that big or one that would allow himself to be that savage against enemies, but it got better towards the end. And I don't know how Batman would have been able to ignore all of the graffiti of Zur-En-Arrh or why Nightwing or Robin wouldn't have noticed it either. The Return of Bruce Wayne stuff I found confusing at points, but it was still okay. And like everyone, I was apprehensive of Damian at first, but now I love him! Batman and Robin was a great ride and Batman inc I think was one of his most straightforward works. Like everything he does, everything is explained or explained to an extent at the end and it is the same in this series. It was great. The Man of Bats issue was fantastic. Though I still don't know why Bruce would go public with Batman inc and not just keep it secret. I may need to re-read the trade since I know he explains it at one point, but if I were the police or FBI I would be like "okay, this guy is DEFINITELY Batman. Search his house top to bottom. What's this? A moving clock? What's behind it? A Batcave? Oh my God! So I was right. Wait. Why is that giant mechanical Tyrannosaurus coming at me? AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!--" I am really looking forward to this issue. I wouldn't consider myself a Morrison fan. Some of his stuff is very confusing and very out there. But as you can see from above, there is still always something I can say I LIKED about each of his runs.

May 20, 2012 6:48 pm lol thanks @BionicDave and @CaeuZokul. Glad you liked my theories. :) Black Beetle does seem like a likely choice as the evil scarab wearer.

May 20, 2012 6:44 pm This episode was just amazing for anyone who is a fan of Simonson's Thor run. So many great things. Two things that bothered me though: 1) I always though Skuttlebutt was a girl? I thought it was referred to as a "her", but maybe that's just a whole "ships are referred to as she's and hers" thing. Just wasn't expecting a male computer voice. Not that big a deal. 2) After the whole "And there came a day unlike any other yada yada yada" intro where they play the theme and then they show the current Avengers roster, just seeing Thor standing there by himself was just REALLY depressing to me.

May 20, 2012 6:41 pm Just watching this for the first time right now. First thought in my head after Danny reads out the Nordic stone inscription and summons the Frost Giant: "So, wait. There are possibly a group of researchers and experts on ancient Nordic language who possibly translated the stones inscriptions and studied it before they placed it in the museum, and none of them bothered to say the inscription out loud before? Or maybe they just found the stone and threw it in there?"

May 20, 2012 1:25 am Well, Wally did retire as Kid Flash back in the New Teen Titans, since he wanted to focus on his studies. But I was surprised that he and Artemis retired. I'm surprised that thought never crossed my mind. I was just thinking "Oh no, Barry died and now Wally's Flash and Artemis died somehow as well". I also got that same scared feeling where we only heard Artemis off screen that it was going to be a reveal that she was in a wheelchair like her mom. Hopefully we'll see them back in action towards the end of the season if not sooner. Yeah, Lagoon Boy's irking me as well. He's kind of trying too hard. And the his catchphrases of "Neptune's beard" and calling surface dwellers "Chum" kind of annoys me. I don't hate the character, but not every person needs a catchphrase.
