Flashpoint: Lois Lane and the Resistance #3

razzatazz's Flashpoint: Lois Lane and the Resistance #3 - Kill the Story review

The Remains of the Fray

This was a disappointing end to a series which started off with such an interesting concept.  The resistance is up against the Furies and so most of this issue is just a big battle sequence.  There is a small revelation about Penny, and Britannia finally shows up but mostly the issue has run out of steam before it even started.  A big part of this is that it was sort of wrapped up previously in another Flashpoint issue, making this one kind of pointless at times because for those reading the rest they will have an idea what is happening here.  Another drawback is that Flashpoint not really being real (at least in terms of the new 52) that pretty famous characters are dying off in this issue, and some of them gruesomely.  From the initial concept this whole miniseries could have been handled so much better, and it is a shame to see the characters misused in such a way.

Issue #1 of "Lois Lane and the Resistance" was a mediocre book with more unintended laughs than interesting plot points. Issue #2 was a dramatic turn around and was thoroughly entertaining. Now we have issue #3, the finale to Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning's Flashpoint tie-in series. What I really liked about the second issue was the focus on the Resistance. They're such a quirky but cool assortment of characters ranging from the gun-wielding Grifter to the screeching Canterbury Cricket. Yes, Lois...
