    Which would work out well for all concerned if something like that happened to someone like say....Power Girl, who seems to be Kryptonite as well. Or maybe she just got part of the Starheart, or a GL ring.

    Yeah. It also looks like dumb, unapologetic fun. I'm all for it.

A Lazarus pit erupting is a cool idea I don't think I've ever seen before.

    These are the kinds of Events I want to see more of; different things, different characters, not messing up the pacing of the books I'm already reading (far as I saw anyway, it's all one-shots right?), and over quick.

    When I first heard "Lazarus Planet" I had zero interest, but I'm gonna check it out now.
    Same.
    I am glad she gets to do something that is not moping or floating aimlessly. Plus Waid has shown he can do great things with Peege in the past.

    So is this supposed to be that "magic crisis event" that Bleeding Cool wrote about few months ago? Either way glad it is going to last only one month.

    I guess Rucka, Morrison and Johns had nothing to do with 52 being good.

    I'm not sure about this one.
    I love Waid, and his current DC work has been awesome.
    But jeez this looks weak....

    I've been enjoying Waid's World's Finest and I'm interested in Cyborg and Ivy being part of the main characters. I also really like Omen and Power Girl returning.
    But I just don't care about it all being heavily connected to BvR. Will pick it up as a trade if Cyborg, Ivy, Omen, and Power Girl get an interesting story out of it.

    So it looks like Jon Kent is becoming Superman Blue II, right? And the event is connected to a volcano explosion? Could we see the return of the Millennium Giants and the leyline stuff that got rid of the original Superman Red/Blue?

    Dammit - the Question's in this? Now I'll have to keep track of this to see if it's in any way worth it to pick up just for him. (I'm guessing it's Vic since they mentioned Gotham and Renee last I heard moved to NYC)

    Look at her hand. She probably dropped the sticks because her hands have been mutilated.

    Wrong about Renee. She's appeared in both Batman and Batgirls recently, she's definitely in Gotham.

    IVX was the ending of the Terrigen mist storyline. It actually started with Inhumanity three years earlier. The origin of Kamala Khan as Ms. Marvel was an immediate consequence of that event. It's also Moon Girl's origin.

    I think it really screwed up Toro, among others.
    Yeah, Toro, the sidekick of the Golden Age Human Torch, had been believed to be a mutant, but turned out to be Inhuman and had his flame altered. His powers had obviously originally been triggered some other way (contact with Torch, i think), but the Terrigen altered them.

    Definitely not. If they wanted Lana to keep her powers after Superman Reborn negated her origin, they'd have found a way, instead of ending her book with her depowered.

    We still don't even know her secret identity, other than that Emiko Queen is ruled out, as Red Arrow and Red Canary have been seen in different places at the same time.

    I suppose we won’t see the launch of any new books post dark crisis until February then after this event

    Hell, I would say each one of them did a better job than Waid in 52 during their respective stories (even frikking Rucka). Not that Waid did a bad job there, I would say his stories were solid but they just paled in comparison.

    Also, I dropped his Avengers run early on because of how dull it was (Didn't help that Waid was writing kids and well, that's not a good mix) and if I remember correctly, No Surrender was also co-written with other authors.

    Yeah, No Surrender was a merger of Waid's Avengers, Al Ewing's U.S.Avengers, and Uncanny Avengers, which Jim Zub had taken over from Gerry Duggan six months before. So Ewing and Zub co-wrote that weekly book with Waid. Zub then took over Waid's other book, Champions, which had spun the kids off from Avengers.

    The second half of Waid's Avengers run (which was restarted with a new #1) had a different roster, with Iron Man and the three kids gone and Hercules and the elder Spider-Man added, along with the new Wasp, Nadia, who'd been introduced earlier in the run but not joined the team. After No Surrender (well, at the same time, but it's set after NS), Waid's last act before handing Champions over to Zub was to add Nadia to the team, along with Ironheart who needed a new home due to Bendis leaving Iron Man and Marvel as a whole.

    Ewing used No Surrender to set up his next book, Immortal Hulk.

    Plot sounds eh.

    But the creative team and cast has piqued my interest.

    If you look closely at the second image Red Canary’s fingers have become claws.
