I think GL #47 was a lot better than BN #4, and reading either one first doesn't matter.

    Yessss some actual constructs.

    I read the Grant Morrison JLA a little while ago, and Kyle never once bothered with bubbles or blasts. It was nifty in Rebirth too. I am hoping they make a conscious choice to try that more often.

    Hal has never used constructs really, that's why I posted that page. Think outside the box, Hal.

    What is the difference between the new Black Mask and the old one? I thought the old one was pretty lame.

    New one seems to be pretty capable and clever, hes arranging a ministry of science headed by some of the more fucked up scientific geniuses in comics.

    Here is the best page from BN#4, since the rest was filler and DC already spoiled the reveal, basically, and the issue had some usual Geoff Johns "You're the coolest superhero A / no, you're the coolest Superhero B" stuff.
    bn4a.jpg

    And for some reason Luthor on his screens of the people he's killed has Amanda Waller on it, which makes no sense. Or at least it's someone who looks a lot like her, pudgy black face with short non curly hair

    In BN4, I got a chuckle out of the scene with Barry, Mera, and Ray.
    Mera: If I'm Wonder Woman and you're Superman, what's that make him?
    Ray: The Flash.

    New Avengers #58 was good, but the colorist does not fit the book. Put Moose Baumann or Frank D'Armata on it.

    And Ares is pretty cool:

    And finally, Dark Avengers: Ares is really really good and reads like Oeming's Ares mini (there is one small political shot in it but it's negligible) and it has this absurd yet funny moment with his motley Rainbow Six squad:

    That Ares scan is great. And I loved the stuff between him and Cap in New Avengers.

    Really good week overall, with the usual great stuff from Nova and Guardians, but I gotta say I was extremely happy with Avengers Initiative:
    And its hints at Penance going back to being Speedball.

    Okay, so the future plot thread comes to a head. It would be a ton to explain, but cutting it short, they completely fuck over the dude who was controlling the sentinels and the Madrox Dupe from the future called Cortex. Except Cortex killed Fitzroy. This was bad, because Fitzroy was the only mutant who could have any effect on Cortex.

    Ruby and Layla have a mysterious conversation, along the lines of "We've seen you do it to butterflies and birds and a seal once, it's the same thing". Eventually, Layla is convinced and does her thing to Fitzroy. Fitzroy later appears and helps them take down Cortex and the bad Sentinel guy, as I mentioned before. How is this possible, you ask?

    It's true :(

    But, I really want to know how this revelation impacts House of M, it sort of confuses me

    And, despite knowing this, we (I'm pretty sure) still don't know why it's Layla's job to keep reality on track, as she says in the scan

    I highly doubt any of its anywhere near permanent, but it the feeling of the issue seemed to be that it'll at least stick for a little while.

    I'm completely serious.

    Make the Starhawk Kosmo be the new one, keep Warlock dead, I don't care, Kosmo doesn't die.

    And I like Craig's art, it just looks good and flows really well

    So Gotham City Siren's explained why Paul Dini's Joker is fine while Morrison's had his face shot.
    It isn't the Joker but one of his old henchmen Gaggy, who's been masquerading as Joker in Dini's book. He's jealous of Harley taking over his role as Joker's right hand. I don't know if Dini made up this character on the spot or whether it's an old character from back in the day, but I guess that explains why there was a Joker running around fine in Dini's book when he shouldn't be.

    Other moment of the week was Madame Xanadu getting it's regular artist back in Amy Reeder Hadley.

    And the Blackest Night stuff wasn't too bad either. :)
