This comic has me torn (Obligatory Starman reference: Like half a rag would do) over this book. Every time I read it I say to myself one more issue. This issue has resurrected this comic in my eyes.
Why?
The first story was genuinely thrilling. From the Suiciede Squad attacking the Watchtower to Batman finding out that Amanda Waller is stalling to get more time, this issue was a rollercoaster ride. Benes has done his best work in this issue and his Vixen is right on: She's sexy and powerful and you could see that.
Now on to McDuffy's back up story. Why wasn't this the main issue? This was just as emotional to me as the Connor Hawke issue of Green Arrow. McDuffy really knows John Smith, The Red Tornado and this shows in the issue. And any issue that has NIles Caulder, John Henry Irons and Dr. Will Magnus is alright with me.
I said that this comic was on thin ice with me, no longer. I am on board with this but I do have to say, I'm on board: FOR NOW
Story: 4 - Very Good
Art: 3 - Good

I will agree the art is beautiful. Benes can draw me a Wonder Woman any day. That’s a promise, if I ever meet him at a convention and he offers to draw me a Wonder Woman I promise not to say no.
The problem I have is that the story just doesn’t seem to be, you know, a story. It seems like an add for Salvation Run. I feel like I should have been given this issue as a freebie to promote the other mini series. Or that it should have been labelled Salvation Run #0.
I agree with you. I do think that the second story was written so much better than the first. The character studies were much more defined and the art was almost as good as Benes (I said almost). I thought I would write a review on this because this issue was a redemption point for me, I was ready to leave and now I’m staying.
One this I do have an issue with though is why wasn’t Black Canary questioning Amanda Waller? She is the leader after all. And if so when is she going to lead these people?
Black Canary is the leader for run of the mill stuff. Like getting coffee or baking cookies at the Watchtower. She can bake the hell out of some cookies! Anyone who says she should take the lead over any of the big three when anything important is happening is suffering from low blood sugar. As a remedy I suggest one of the Canary’s cookies!
