I feel your frustration with this title and it pains me. I think the book is interesting and feels fresh to me. Splintered main character. Weird enemies. And this plot with a new Mars and bizarre time leaps. At the very least I am engaged as a reader.
ReplyDeleteThat said, after hearing your review, I realized that while this is interesting to me, it might not be good for someone invested in J'onn.
As an exercise, I decided to see if I could easily insert other characters into the cast/plot here.
I could write this same book with Shade the Changing Man fractured and Meta as the planet careening to earth, run by a villainous Sude.
I could write this book with Amethyst splintered and Gemworld crashing to Earth run by Dark Opal.
I could write this book as a warped Hawk and Dove, their personalities fractured, a Chaos world coming to Earth driven by Kestrel.
I could write this book with Zatanna, the Warlock sending Ys to Earth.
In other words, the premise might be decent for me. But that doesn't make it a decent J'onn premise.
As someone who suffered through many blighted interpretations of Supergirl, I feel your pain.
