June 14, 2012 10:55 am You should check out the original story "Queen of the Black Coast" by Robert Howard, his relationship with Belit is more understandable in the short story. Plus: young, wild barbarian + beautiful pirate lady = love

June 9, 2012 7:41 pm Its a pet peeve of mine when the cover has nothing to do with the story on the inside of a comic. Also, I thought the dialogue in this was way off from previous issues. Between Land's art and the wonky dialogue (I've never found Magneto so boring to listen too), I think I'm done

June 8, 2012 3:17 pm There is a subtle side to this issue that I feel might be getting overlooked. The art and the story really compliment each other. Despite the "lack" of dialogue or the "quick" read, I think if you really take a look at this issue there are some great moments that add to our understanding of the situation an characters that are unfolding. The flower coming up through the car's grill as Abigail is losing hope, the beautiful sequence as Swampy returns to the marsh to rest, i thought were really good, rich moments. All these subtle elements are really striking and bravo to Francavilla. I thought this issue was really amazing in how the layouts and art added new dimensions without using much text. Oh, and lest we forget Snyder is SCRIPTING all this, not just writing words and text boxes.

May 29, 2012 2:34 pm This has been a great read so far. Looking forward to the next installment. I like how Abnett has been so subtle with the reveals in this series too. Nice to have a good layered story to delve into

May 26, 2012 12:20 pm I just recently drank a rather large glass of wine and reread Batman Inc. but this sounds like WAY more fun. I think the wine just got me confused with Morrison at the helm ... I have a few random issues of this series from when I was a kid but never read the whole thing. Thanks for the synopsis! Now I know.

May 26, 2012 12:11 pm You should check out Geoff Johns' Flash, that was my intro to the character and it was GREAT! Been a Flash fan ever since.

May 26, 2012 12:09 pm @bakkabennu: Snyder writing Flash would be .. interesting to say the least. Flash and Horror would be a bizarre mix :)
