February 9, 2012 11:53 am Agree that Saiz was "ok". Love the design of Ev Crawford, so he gets high marks for that. But, often his panels came across as lifeless or lacking dynamism. I know that he does a lot of his work in Photoshop, which I also think tends to rob pencils of their vitality. Just my $0.02.

February 9, 2012 11:47 am Foreman leaving Animal Man: BOO! Foreman joining Birds of Prey: YEA! Net-net: it's a slight negative, but only because I fear change.

February 9, 2012 9:56 am Yep. BQM is definitely the draw here for me. I was satisfied with the ending of Smallville. I really didn't need to revisit it. However, I will gladly checkout anything from this creative team. The digital format should also be interesting too, but that's more like window dressing.

February 8, 2012 9:44 pm I thought this was an enjoyable start. Perhaps a little slow at the beginning, but it got better with every page. I have no idea who the bad guys are, so that didn't hook me. In the end, I like that each character seems to have his or her unique personality. I think this will be a well written team book. I'll definitely give it another issue.

February 8, 2012 9:38 pm With the .1 issues coming out weekly, you won't have to wait long! I thought the issue was fairly good, and the second issue (13.1) was equally as enjoyable, despite changing writers.

February 8, 2012 9:35 pm I thought this book started slow, but with each page I thought it got better. It was strong enough that I will give it another issue.

February 8, 2012 12:14 pm @Chris: Do you envision this book being monthly or, perhaps, bi-weekly? I think Brightest Day and JL: Generation Lost both benefited from being bi-weekly books, and I kind of see this Flashpoint idea as being similar. With a whole universe to explore, with all the characters that exist, and the many storylines that could be followed, I think having more issues in a shorter period of time, would help the book generate and keep momentum. By the way, I would buy this book.

February 8, 2012 12:01 pm The Outsider was possibly the most interesting new character of 2011. It would be fun to see more of him.

February 7, 2012 9:44 am I would think JMS, with his infamous runs on ASM, Thor, The Twelve, Superman and Wonder Woman that all started with much fanfare and ended in complete burnouts, would probably make a top ten list. The guy can write. All you have to do is look at his run on Brave and the Bold to see this. But, he seems to have trouble completing what he starts.
