This felt like nothing happened. How many issues is this supposed to be?

There was more worlds in the DC Magazine explaining it that the book itself.

Nine I think? And to be fair, it is the very begining so we can't expect everything to be spelled out for us immediately. This is basically the first 5 minutes of "Law and Order".

I started reading DC comics as a kid with the LSH in the early 80's, and there was a new slogan DC was using to promote it's line, especially all of its newer comics: "The New DC -- There's No Stopping Us Now." I'm guessing 30-years-younger Didio took that as a challenge. It's like the man has made it his mission to reduce the DC Universe to something more akin to the DC Condemned Tenement Building.

So DC Nation #5 lists the casualties of Heroes in Crisis as Arsenal, Hot Spot, Lagoon Boy, Commander Steel, and Blue Jay.

So Wally is not dead? (I hope)

It's nine because King takes a whole issue for what could have been done in a few pages. Any other writer, it would be 6 issues.

except for Marvel Bendis...then it would be 9 issues, six 6 issue mini series, 4 one shots and 14 tie in books.

You forgot about Alpha, Omega, Requium, Epilogue and Prologue...

Ah, yes I did. Thank you.

Did you miss the half a page confirmation Wally got killed?

Also, in the latest DC Nation they included the replacement Heroes in Crisis 3 solicit, confirming it will be an interlude filling on Sanctuary, its creation, etc (the article provides some details on the greeters, which surely will get included in that issue), with art by Lee Weeks:

Tragedies deepen as more secrets behind the "superhero hospital" called Sanctuary are revealed! What compelled Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman to create Sanctuary in the first place? How was it built? And if the hospital truly is alive via A.I., who-or what-is the "brain" of Sanctuary? Another layer peels back in the vast mystery waven through the entire DC Universe.

IDK.

I'm a fan of the "BAM, hit ya in the FACE!" kind of #1's.

I'm just curious how 7 pages of Harley stabbing Booster (the dude's tanked hits from Doomsday!), not including the other pages of their conversation, is supposed to make me want more.

A story of heros dealing with there mental health is a good concepts, if it was just that it would be amazing. i think dc is forcing the murder mystery because they think that plot would be to dull

Agreed.

Every issue should make you interested... fanatically for the next one. This idea of buying 3-4 boring books 'Because it'll get better!!!' really irks me.

DC Nation says we will learn about even more deaths that happened in the next issue also..ugh.

It was kind of a given, though. When Superman arrives above Sanctuary, we can see 13 bodies on the ground outside...we had to assume at least some of them are heroes and not A.I.
