    I dropped this at issue #9, now it is starting to actually look somewhat interesting!!  WTF, I guess I’ll have to get caught back up now?

    I’ve been Enjoying this. I especially like Aquaman in this, I hope he gets his own series again.

    Started out with issue #0, dropped it at 2, picked it up again with 8 and haven’t looked back. This book is just big superhero fun. Period.

    I hope nothing important happened in #10 because I don’t have that issue!

    I was expecting an actual fight after that Fury of Firestorm page but it just turned into a chase. Don’t get me wrong this was completely AWESOME but I want to see a real firestorm fight. Seeing as I’ve never seen him fight before.

    Yeah I was hoping to see a fight too and it just didn’t appear.

    Good issue. Lot’s of aquaman action and the black lanterns were awesome.

    Say, I got a variant cover of Aquaman vs Black Manta, but it costed me the same as the regular issue. I thought those variants were more expensive?

    @vadamowens and Minion: Maybe it is because I live in a country, Belgium, where american comics aren’t such a cultural phenomenon. So it could be my retailer just doesn’t care about the rareness of variants covers, so long as someone buys it.

    hm.  I’ve loved most about this book, but this return of black lanterns better not be lame

    I think I’m alone here. But the art is really losing it for me. Too many pencilers and inkers. The end of the book felt like it was a back up.

    @Cedric: My retailer, in America, is the same way. Variants are racked with the regular covers and sold at the same price.

    @Conor: Ah ok, so it just depends on the retailer if variants are sold at a higher price.

    Not a huge fan of the whole Deathstorm "DUDE, BRO, RADICAL!" thing, but that’s not a massive deal, this book getting better after a bit of a slow start. It’ll be interesting to see what comes out of it.

    @cedric The rareness of some covers raises the price and that’s what retailers try to use.  Some retailers have an entire box or area full of nothing but variants…and that is where they stay gathering dust.

    Solid "middle issue" lots of story building happening. The black lanterns really need to be good or else i’ll be disappointed. I think i like Deathstorm better than Firestorm. I’m really nervous that Johns is making Firestorm into a major DCU character because i really don’t like him and his floaty faces at all.  

     

    On the retailer Variant thing…my LCS is really good, but they are jerks with that kinda stuff. They charge $10-15 for new variants and have a long box full of recent unpurchased ones. They also mark up back issues more than 4 months old by a dollar. Good for new stuff, but i go a few blocks down the road to find back issues.

    The art on the Deathstorm segments blew me away, thought the fight between Aquaman and Black Manta sucked.  A pee sticker shouldn’t be able to penetrate Aquaman’s skin, and he looked cowardly to me fleeing in that truck.

    Firestorm is my jam son. I hope all of this leads to at least a Firestorm mini written by Johns

    @roivampire–its interesting how polarizing Firestorm is…seems like you either love him or you hate him. Just curious…what do you find so great about the character?

    @Wally    I’ve always been intrigued by the dual personalities in one character. Two guys forced to work together. I guess i see firestorm as a buddy cop movie written by Reed Richards. Two guys who don’t really get along but are forced to work through their differences to become a hero and do crazy stuff with science
