That's why I was so pumped for it. I should have been suspicious with the name change- but I gave it a shot. Just the one issue is out, but I liked NOTHING about it. There's no point in trying it any further. -For me anyways. The true 2nd coming of the JLI is Justice League 3000! -I'm loving that title!!!<br /><br />@Frank -See I hate the forced inclusion of the Wildstorm characters... and I hated Manhunter paired with Stormwatch. I hate most of the Nu52 continuity... Futures End is really good though! ...even if they are trying to shove Grifter down our throats again.<br /><br />The King of Thessalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406771819941242204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-56821393631705865632014-05-13T06:25:31.220-05:002014-05-13T06:25:31.220-05:00Nuts!

I've found New 52 Manhunter interesting, and I like the costume, but he hasn't amounted to much. <br /><br />The numbers on "Son of Mars" aren't sooo bad, comparable to the later collections of New 52 Firestorm material, but half as popular as the 2011 collection of the first Firestorm series. Hard to believe it's worthwhile to print less than a thousand copies of a tpb, though.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-1961054696573296922014-05-12T23:18:16.231-05:002014-05-12T23:18:16.231-05:00JLU/Canada was disappointing, King?

That's too bad...the IGN review made it seem like the second coming of JLI, so I was guardedly hopeful.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-38584344802704500472014-05-12T09:51:55.727-05:002014-05-12T09:51:55.727-05:00That is sad...

I had high hopes for Justice League Canada... but it was a very disappointing read.The King of Thessalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406771819941242204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-24452427462997963412014-05-12T00:09:49.545-05:002014-05-12T00:09:49.545-05:00Ouch...I'm not a huge fan of the Ostrander ser...Ouch...I'm not a huge fan of the Ostrander series, either, but this seems kind of sad. Personally I'll probably pick up a copy because I'd rather have a trade than individual issues, so maybe sales will pick up once the word gets out.<br /><br />On the upside, this trade is getting good reviews on Goodreads, which I was surprised to see. The really ironic thing is that the publisher's description on Goodreads refers to J'onn as "one of the key heroes in The New 52." I'm not really sure how they come to that conclusion...LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.com
