'Curious about the comment you make here: Morrison drove a stake through 20 years of continuity???'

You missed of the important word at the end - rearrangement

When the Lantern's (the mythos which begat all Crisis' since 1985) drive a stake through Mandrakk (the parasitic monitor vampire feeding on all stories/continuities), it is closure to the last 20 odd years of re-boots and reality changng events, and the end of a trilogy encompassing CoIE, IC and FC.

Whether DC abide by that or not, is another thing.

Thoses glimpses into the backstory Grant prepares for even the most cameo appearance of characters are great.

I would definetely like too see more of Doc Fate and his Pulp Earth, and Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters on Earth 10.

December 9, 2008 3:22 pm Great, something to the comic shop for this Thursday; FC & Revelations. Everything else can wait until I pick up my pull-list.

Great review.

This is honestly the only comic that I seriously look forward to (not that I don't enjoy everything else, more or less, that I buy) each month; and that is mostly down to the sense of foreboding that GM built in the first two issues. Now, in ish 3, the shit has really hit the fan! Fab.

Grant has said there will be a post FC DCU, but there won't be any continuity altering events. I can't wait to see how this all plays out - and I'm anxiously awaiting DC's solicitations post FC 7. That will be interesting.

I'll admit I was wary when Bruce Jones was announced as the writer, but considering it's not Rucka, and it reads different to Rucka, it's not bad.

There are definitely worse comics out there.

I would have to disagree with just about everything here; except on the quality of the art itself. It's just a bleedin'pity you can't see it for the abysmal computer colouring.

I wasn't taken with Ellis' story, but the problems were compounded by some really awful dialogue. Did Ellis actually write this? Or was someone ghost writing a pastiche of Ellis' 90's stuff? Then it was novel; now it was just dire. Emma in particular; just shut up and die already. And that wasn't Ororo, it was a sodding Skrull who'd had enough of shopping and fu**ing!

Really bad.
