God damn.

[HsssH]

It just makes sense on every level and nobody saw it coming.

This looks fantastic. I know Midnighter will eventually win, it's his comic after all, but I can't imagine how! Any theories anyone?

This looks so amazing. Can't wait!

I don't know, but I'm putting my ten cents on something to do with the foreshadowed five senses in the preview.

The only thing I think could disappoint me was some kind of "I secretly knew it all along" scenario, but even that I bet Orlando could pull off.

Sigh. So much badassery. I've managed not to run into Prometheus in comics before, but he looks like the perfect foil for Midnighter. Why won't more people buy this?

[Sharkey]

That two page origin recap for Prometheus perfectly sums up how great the character can be in the right hands.

Pretending to be Midnighter's lover though, is he homosexual himself or was Prometheus that dedicated to his cover persona?

This is my favourite DC book of 2015, closely followed by Grayson (naturally!).

It is built into the character. It's the point of his powers, really.

But, I like that he was blindsided, so I hope not.

I do wish the comic was a bit more fighty. I appreciate the downtime, home life stuff fine, but it's Midnighter! I want to see more brutal righteous violence.

[HsssH]

As Prometheus mentions, Midnighter is breaking his character. If Midnighter saw it coming then we probably would have already heard him mocking Prometheus on how stupid he is.

Would people mind if Apollo made a quick save here?

The first thing I'll be reading,this is just amazing.

Dewpends on how it's handled (though I have no fear of it being handled badly, with this book.

That said, there was an issue, back in the day, which if I'm not mistaken set both a new direction for Authority and the beginning of The Monarchy, that showed us a party trough Midnighters eys. Every person he looked at had all these overlays showing how strong, or fast they were, what they could do following, etc. Everyone but Apolo, who just shone a bright light; menaing he was the one unpredictable constant in Mids life.

I could go for something like that.

Pretending to be Midnighter's lover though, is he homosexual himself or was Prometheus that dedicated to his cover persona?

May be that he is gay/bi/pan. Or it may be that he just isn't really hung up about sex; lots of villains kill, main, rape and destroy in order to achieve their plans of world domination. He slept with a guy. No biggie.

Same here. That's what I meant, more or less.

I think an Apollo or Grayson save could probably be done well, but I'd rather see Midnighter get out of this on his own.

No thread for this issue yet??

I'm not remembering how to do spoiler tags, so I will limit myself to saying that was a very non-disappointing (likely temporary) resolution! Now I have to go re-look at all the panels in the last issue to see if there's anything else to see in the house.

So good. If the whole of Midnighter (The Comic) finished here it would almost be a successful and well-earned wrap. Orlando did both characters justice, the fight was gorgeous and brutal, and the instant dip into emotional fallout and payoffs was just great, instead of dragging things out until the last page and not dealing with great character stuff. (A ten page fight is good enough, right?)

I think this might be the only actual Prometheus thing I've liked since JLA.

[Starchild]

Great issue as usual, but it seemed like Midnighter handled Prometheus pretty easily. I remember in the Pre 52 universe, he gave the Justice League hell.

[Cowtools]

The fight was brilliant, but during the second half of this issue my pulse was racing thinking that the comic was wrapping up! I was so relieved to see the 'next issue' on the final page.
