February 25, 2011 6:06 pm Spidey cheering Franklin was the best part of this book.  I didn't expect the relating of 2 Uncles would have the emotional response that it did.
Plus the panel with Spidey asking Franklin for a dollar at the Hot Dog stand was classic.  That one made me laugh out loud in public.

February 7, 2011 9:51 pm Been looking forward for Tomasi taking over.  He knows how to write Dick Grayson well and the pages that were previewed looked pretty fun.  I'm on board with this one for at least a couple of issues.

September 13, 2010 5:49 pm Can't believe I didn't see that the new Aqualad was going to be Black Manta's kid.  So obvious now.

1 - I believe Rhodey's conscious was transferred to a cloned body recently.

2 - They are Norse Gods, but more importantly it's a comic book.

This issue is a great example of what Geoff Johns does better then any writer in comics today.  He takes a flaw in comic lore and takes it beyond plausible and weaves it into compelling storytelling.  Much like the Green Lanterns weakness to yellow (try explaining that one to someone unfamiliar to comics) Geoff explains why comic characters return from the dead so often and easily, and makes it riveting.  Because Death (Nekron) himself let them.  NICE!  The final use of Bruce (all be it short) was pretty cool too.

Who else wants Geoff to handle Bruce Wayne's return?

Also I can't believe it took me until now to realize that all the heroes floating on the #5 cover all had died and resurrected.  DUH!

Great issue.  This Summer Blockbuster is thus far living up to its 2 year hype.

 

Favorite part of issue 2 - When BL Aquaman brought his hands to his temples to call on Undead Sea Creatures in which the Letterer used the "VUUVUUVUUVUUVUU".  I could actually hear the sound they used for that in the SuperFriends Cartoon.  Brought back the school kid in me for a split second.  Pure Fun.

August 10, 2009 7:12 pm Manapul's Pencils with Watercolor style looks great in the previews.  Hoping for a great story and gorgeous art.

April 30, 2009 1:28 pm In looking back, I think DC would have been better off using this story as the back bone for Final Crisis.  Looks like they bet on the wrong horse.  Look forward to seeing Connor in Adventure Comics.

April 29, 2009 5:14 pm Wow....that was pretty freaking great.  Geoff Johns can really weave a tale that complex and make feel convoluted.  The only thing that could make this better is if Morrison's Gold Superman comes out of the sun to save the day.  Fangasmic.
