Expect the Unexpected - The Unexpected Appreciation Thread

A new Crisis is brewing, and they are the first line of defense... not exactly what you expected right ?

In the aftermath of DARK NIGHTS: METAL, the DC Universe has been forever changed as new heroes are called out of the shadows. Amid this all is Janet Fals...Firebrand! Once a paramedic dedicated to saving lives, she must now start a fight once every 24 hours to feed the Conflict Engine that’s replaced her heart. But Janet’s heart isn’t just a curse—it’s a beacon, drawing out both the mysterious Neon the Unknown and the seductive, malevolent Bad Samaritan. One of them wants to cut out her heart, the other wants to save it—but neither of them knows the true danger hidden within that will kick off a superhero manhunt ranging from Thanagar to the deepest heart of the Dark Multiverse!

And they faced off against Macho Man Randy Savage!

But half of those guys kind of died in the first issue. Unless they resurrect later on?

This was a good first issue, coming from someone who thought Orlando’s JLA and Supergirl were boring.

They all look cool, but I don't like the idea of using the names of other, unrelated heroes.

It was a good issue but easier to digest on a second read. The team dynamic has potential even if the first issue was a bit thin.

I wanted them to team up with Hawkman down the road.

I loved this first issue! I liked the wild, vibrant, kinda mysterious feel of it. it was full of character and, speaking of which, I loved the gnarly character designs. I like the way they are building on the darker cosmic stuff from Dark Knights Metal. If it plays it right this could be one of my favorite new titles of this year. This, Sideways, and Silencer are my top 3 New Age of Heroes books so far. Holding out hope for Immortal Men tho.

I think the Underlord of Thanagar and the presence of exploding nth metal pretty much guarantees that. Just sayin '.

Thanks Korath. Awesome first issue. Remember characters that die in comics stay dead. It's the lone hold over from the Comics Code. Didn't you guys know that?
