Can't Cap just ask the President for a few minutes of his time and have Doctor Strange or one of the US Government's own licenced spooky weird stuff practitioners contact the souls of the US...

It really shouldn't be that hard.

The JSA emerged out of the first wave of costumed heroes. The 'Mystery Men' era around the Depression when the criminal empires born out of Prohibition were...

I'm now re-reading New Excalibur. Those Shadow-X kids had a damned sharp look.

She did, didn't she! I'd put that down to a fever-dream I had. So, does that mean she's still knocking around somewhere (wasn't there something about a heart condition that stopped her using her...

Great series. Such a simple idea with huge scope for stories that the writers took full advantage of. A cracking roster of characters who, straight off the bat, jumped past the usual 'bland...

Uneven, meandering, went on far too long with far too little to say. Y'know? BENDIS.

In particular, the whole 'Revolution' premise of Uncanny had great promise, especially when placed in...

Legacy hero, definitely. Founding member of the JLA absolutely. Tied to the JSA by blood for preference.

In fact, were I allowed to reboot her whole history to tie virtually all of them...

Letting Harley's toxic blood into the Vampire Throne Room would be a 'mistake', though it's almost certain that Babs has at least a squirt of it concealed somewhere on her person.

Chances are...

Also, Undead Ivy has Planet Killer written all over her. As the source of a hybrid strain that infected mutated plant-life with vampirism (thus saving it from the fate of every other growing thing on...

I was surprised that Cinder was able to put up such a fight after only the briefest flash of Starfire's UV, especially against Mary Marvel, but since the main series is (probably) about to repower...

On the one hand, Beast's descent into full-scale villainy seems like a metatextual take-that to the awful "Cyclops is too a bad guy now!" nonsense from the post AvX period. I recall that Hank walked...

Duh!

It's just been pointed out to me that Azrael's Face/Heel/Face turn at the start of this issue would have been Deadman jumping into his body as part of Constantine's secret contingency plan...

Yeah, it's been inconsistent and weird. Some (like, 99% of) characters get turned and immediately become slaves to King Dick's will. Whoever they were before they turned, they're now all-in on the...

Regarding the back-up, didn't love it.

Always happy to see the Authority turn up, of course, but not like that. In no particular order...

If you're going to have The Authority show up in...

Was that a Moon Knight homage justifying Azrael's face-heel-face turn? Nice.

So, they're going to dump Weather Wizard's parts into the Pit and just see what happens? Billy and The Baron (who I'm...

Course he is. Batman's got up his nose on numerous occasions. Plus, it's comics, the bad guy 'always' turns up where the action is at.



Hence the laughing. It's Darkseid, knowing the heroes...

No, but a scene with Darkseid coming through a Boom Tube ready to conquer Earth, taking a look around at what's become of Gotham under the vampires, laughing in King Dick's face and walking back...

That's lampshaded early on during the first Bat Family get-together. The vampires were working behind the scenes for a while, targeting supervillains and those heroes who they considered the most...

Can't argue with that. I'd hoped they'd work Damien's autonomy into a weakness they could exploit against King Dick. If anyone who has been through a Lazarus Pit has residue in their blood that...

I genuinely don't understand the point of the Punchline scenes.

1) Break into Gotham.

2) Met at entry point by randomly independent minded vampire(s), get locked up for most of the issue....

And with one punchy cameo, every theory of how and why Damien is the only vampire free from the horror hunger and slavish loyalty gene gets volleyed into space.

Raven. Different demon, but still a (pretty much ultimate) demon, and she turned just like any other vampire.

OTOH, Mary Marvel is the only other kid I can think of in the story, and look what...

Restore, not retain. She was a mindless blood-addict until Damian found her and did ‘something’ to bring her back.

Nah. It’s canonically totally out of character for any vampire in this universe to retain their human morality, no matter who they are. Superman, Wonder Woman, Black Adam, Nightwing himself, it...

They really are going to have to explain why Damian is the sole vampire to retain his ‘humanity’ once turned. Yes, we’ve got various fan-theories, but his ability to retain compassion and ignore the...
