darksoul173 will stop reading JSA after issue #26

darksoul173’s post in SRK Comic Book Forum regarding not reading JSA

Secret Six #4 was great, as usual. Ragdoll had some neat lines and Bane is more creepy than usual.

20 questions with Didio again. He talks about keeping the characters timeless by not time-stamping them among other things.

Is it just me or does anyone else find Final Crisis so far to be very… underwhelming??

I just read Issue 5 and I’m just not feeling it… at all.

Reading all issues in one full session often makes it better to understand stuff.

issue 5 had 2 scenes that i liked

FC5

[details=Spoiler] the one with the rubik cube being solved in 17 moves
and when Darkseid got complete control over six billion people[/details]

Hey, what would I read if I’m interested in Black Adam?

I liked that one JSA/Hawkman story, “Black Reign.” That was about the JSA and Black Adam going back to his country. Allegiances shift, battles ensue… Good superheroic drama.

52 had a cool story with him

Yeah I’m reading 52 right now and loving it. That’s why I’m wanting to know more about him. I’ll check out that JSA story.

Mark Waid takes a jab at DC and their editorial staff

i like FC revelations. much better than FC itself

Batman: Battle for the Cowl Solicitations

20 questions with Didio again. Scroll down to see DC’s annual big drawing of upcoming stuff, this time the teaser image is centered around Batman.

So uh…anyone figure out WTF happened in Batman 683? All I can figure out is

Never doubt Grant Morrison

Spoiler

Darkseid was messing with Bruce’s head and plans to use Batman’s memories and emotions to create some powerful soldiers, but in this issue Bruce manages to fight it and escape from his imprisonment

Vigilante #1

[details=Spoiler]Pretty good issue. Vigilante is looking for answers for an election killing that had taken place. I don’t know all the details about that though. Anyway, while in a bar (in a/his civilian identity), he learns that Tobais Whale is looking for some men and decides to check it out.
Whale gives the group of men that came for the job offer a chance to prove themselves by finding some records for him from a warehouse. Vigilante suits up and takes down most of the men there. The cops come and capture Vigilante (in the civilian identity he took). He is then sent to Ryker’s Island. This is in-fact part of his plan to find out more about the election shootings[/details]

Yeah in a nutshell that’s what Batman 683 was about.

Bruce Wayne is so broken, he makes MvC2 Mags look like Cammy in an ST Cammy vs. Honda match.

Tony Daniel talks (very little) about the teaser “Battle for the Cowl” image that he drew.

EDIT:
The current Flash series wrapped up last week. Didn’t expect it to end so abruptly and with such little fanfare. But you know, they’re gearing up for Flash: Rebirth, so I guess its to be expected…

for those of you who don’t go to the gl thread,

in fearful day, in raging night, with strong hearts full, our souls ignite. when all seems lost in this war of light, look to the stars FOR HOPE BURNS BRIGHT!
