Name: Ian Raney

Bio: I grew up on Long Island (aka Longuyland),  learned in Michigan, and settled in San Diego.  I've been collecting comics since Justice League Europe #41, which may have led to me collecting  every Justice League comic from  DeMatteis and Giffen's Justice League #1 to Justice League of America #113 (yeah the one with Fire, Blue Devil, Ice Maiden, Nuklon, Obsidian, and the Yazz).  Currently I'm collecting more DC than Marvel but I don't take sides.  I love me some good indie books (Y, Fear Agent, Scalped), but I'm usually late to the party and end up picking up the first trade.  I'm not one for forums (I don't have time to keep checking back for response!), but glad that i can leave comments here at iFanboy.

Definitely another solid issue.  It wasn’t as exciting as I was hoping though.  I think this was ruined by the…

This book makes me happy.  I think the timing is well done too.  The series started with a few of the above kind of mentoring the team.  Not so much now, so its nice to see them in their own book.

Plus now that I dropped the Flash, i'm looking to get my Wally kick.

April 7, 2008 6:21 pm I think people would kill if this wasn't the next issue.  No?  Just me?
April 7, 2008 3:06 pm I may give it a one issue try, but it really has to wow me.  What I loved about Iron Fist was the sense of an overall story and direction.  Many times new teams on a book derail this and I'm afraid that will happen here.
April 2, 2008 5:40 pm Kudos on getting the picks out so early lately!  I'm on the west coast I haven't even left work to go pick up books yet!

God I love this comic and all those that followed from it.  I have all the issues so I'm not sure if I'll pick up the trades (maybe when I have some more money).  But I highly recommend checking it out if you have never read it.

@Jstump:  I loved Bloodwynd!  I thought the issue right after superman's death were great.  I actually went on comicdb recently and checked out all the issues he was in besides justice league (its not many) and I thought I would pick them up for a fun collection thing.  I had always hoped he'd appear in Shadowpact...but alas that dream seems dead.

April 1, 2008 4:13 pm It took till about halfway through the second trade for this to click, but it has.  Not sure if I love it as much as the rest of you.  But those 6(?) issues replaying the same events from different viewpoints was amazing.  i love the next storyline (I'm back to issues...yay!) and i'm hoping to become as loyal as the rest of you.
April 1, 2008 4:11 pm This is a great series.  i wonder if this will feed into the new justice league announced.
April 1, 2008 4:10 pm @s1lentslayer:  Get Angel season 5, its the best in my opinion.  Spike and Angel, some characters from past seasons coming out of nowhere, Adam Baldwin, puppets, and nazis.
April 1, 2008 4:09 pm Shaun of the Dead meets Superheroes with a dash of extreme and visceral violence.  I was late to the game on this, but I love it.

Plus there are those oversized trades too.  I gave those as gifts and wished i had kept one for myself.

 You could probably just jump on, but any death would be meaningless, and you would probably ruin reading the back issues.
