Grant Morrison and DC have done it again…yes, they have a released another book that leaves readers with more questions than answers. I don’t want to say too much about this book, as I am still trying to take it all in, but I do want to make a few observations/questions.
Orion is dead? How did this happen. Didn’t we just see him in Countdown a few weeks ago beating up his father Darkseid, one of the most powerful men in the universe? Now he’s dead?
What is going on with the Monitors? Countdown left me confused, and Final Crisis isn’t doing any better.
How could DC eliminate a character like Martian Manhunter in one page? One page!?!?! Granted, I don’t read EVERY book DC releases, so there might have been some background info available, but I don’t feel like I’m alone in my disgust here.
Is Barry Allen returning? Who knows?
Nevertheless, I am intrigued…Grant Morrison is the only writer who I can hate and love in the same book. Although I do have some serious questions, I am definitely awaiting the release of number 2 next month. I advise each of you to grab a copy of this book from John at Collector’s Corner as soon as possible while you still can. This series is going to be very interesting.
