But the Tiger and Deadshot are my guys and I was so put off. What some artist don't understand is that even if you don't like a certain person, place or thing and it's obvious that you didn't even give it a second thought, the total piece suffers right along with your reputation as being a good artist. Sometimes assumption can become truth.<br /><br />You said (which is true) that this series only reinforces the established hierarchy and lessens the light of the characters and the book in contrast to their betters. Sean Chan has done the same with his work on this mini series.Omega Agent1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15882496530451546334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-13170341249196637252012-05-11T14:22:45.583-05:002012-05-11T14:22:45.583-05:00Bane nerd alert: Bane was a Squad member during th...Bane nerd alert: Bane was a Squad member during this time, mostly ii tie ins leading to this very series.mathematicscorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439579069513071094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-53254853995154569022012-05-11T06:52:02.317-05:002012-05-11T06:52:02.317-05:00In one sense, this is infuriating as a lot of good...In one sense, this is infuriating as a lot of good stories have vanished. However, a lot of garbage -- including J'Onn being a jobber for the villain of the week -- has gone by the wayside. Honestly, if the government was going to be so ruthless as to exile supervillains off planet, would not the next logical step would be - to use a line from Aliens -- "Nuke them from orbit. It is the only way to be sure"?<br /><br />Sorry, but Salvation Run has plotholes so big as to fly the ego's of the DC management team through it with room left over for the Death Star.will_in_chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468337654400802576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-85409625172455605802012-05-10T22:57:43.171-05:002012-05-10T22:57:43.171-05:00OA1, I'm cool with artist Sean Chen so far. Gi...OA1, I'm cool with artist Sean Chen so far. Given the number of characters and monsters, I think he kept the storytelling clear and figures well proportioned in their environment. He's always tended to be a little stiff, and he's not terribly flashy, but I prefer his work over a lot of fan favorites. It's possible that he was unfamiliar with the DCU, but Bronze Tiger does look dumb in that mask. I assume Deadshot is supposed to be training his gun on Luthor, but got distracted by Flag, which is incompetent on his part.<br /><br />Will, I can't recall if it's been officially expunged, but the general assumption is that <i>Blackest Night/Brightest Day</i> never happened. Frankly, if you're not in the Batman Family or a Green Lantern, your whole history is probably undone.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-87026090105174514272012-05-10T21:05:04.501-05:002012-05-10T21:05:04.501-05:00Nor would Superman have warmly welcomed J'Onn ...Nor would Superman have warmly welcomed J'Onn on his resurrection. (I think that my Freudian slip showed what I think some people at DC should do.) Honestly, the lack of involvement by the Justice League in trying to find one of their supposedly most valued members did not look good either.will_in_chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468337654400802576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-25913829449536193462012-05-10T21:03:17.677-05:002012-05-10T21:03:17.677-05:00My hope is that this series and J'Onn's su...My hope is that this series and J'Onn's subsequent death are no longer in canon. There is no reason, based on the revelations of Justice League #8 and J'Onn's role in Stormwatch, that he would take a mission from Batman (when last seen by Batman in the new continuity, the Manhunter from Mars was giving the Justice League the beating that many of us thought the people behind the first six issues of the news series deserved.) Nor would the Justice League and other public hereoes have assembled at J'Onn's death, nor would Superman have warmly welcomed him on his resignation. I think that DC could use a continuity editor -- and a few other things as well.will_in_chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468337654400802576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-79301695186946838162012-05-10T18:53:14.413-05:002012-05-10T18:53:14.413-05:00This series is so trash.

Why is deadshot doing karate poses (not even threatning) while everybody else is walking. I hate this series.Omega Agent1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15882496530451546334noreply@blogger.com
