Cooke brings it again. The Batman versus Superman story would have been enough, but the Robin / Kid Flash team up, the Black Canary / Wonder Woman team-up, and the extras put it over the top.

    what

    the



    fuck




    one thing to keep in mind is that there's
    Warlock and The Magus

    but there is also

    Warlock and The Magus.

    Which I was wondering if they were going to address ever since The Phalanx started fighting the original Warlock.

    EDIT: Now that I've sat down and read it, it's not nearly as WTF as I thought. This was the first issue I picked up and when I was leafing through it I thought golden robot guy (Bastion, right?) was calling HIMSELF The Magus, while looking like the original cosmic The Magus. Still, same conclusion I guess - big evil technorganic evil.

    Also Penance would have been sweet if he
    actually threw the damn suit away. Sigh.

    Do they explain how this fits in continuity? Or do they just ignore little things like the fact that Nitro's dead already?

    Isn't Paul Jenkins writing the PENANCE miniseries? I'm guessing he's just ignoring any other established continuity, because that's just what he does.

    Namor used Nitro to blow up Atlantis in the NAMOR miniseries, presumably killing him. Maybe it didn't though.

    Namor killed him. Although I guess he may not really be dead, and Namor took him to Doctor Doom when they all went.

    Or it's one of those things, that when Nitro blows up he still survives despite it being impossible. It's his "power" after all.

    Yes, but he was at the bottom of the ocean. The pressure would've crushed him.

    Now that I actually read it it's not nearly as wtf.

    Still, unexpected plot element.

    At least I think so - I didn't read 1.

    Well the thing to remember is that at the end of the Namor mini-series, Namor hooked up with Doom.

    As if DOOM would lower himself to work with a mort like Nitro.

    I gotta ask.

    Has there always been this past friendship between Hal and Sinestro, or is that something John's is coming up with?

    Because I feel like it's being shoehorned into their past but I don't know.

    I'm not sure if we really need to be spoiling this stuff, but the mighty DOOM
    had Nitro in chains in a cell. As a bargaining chip or somesuch I guess

    Man, I want an alternate New Frontier Cooke-iverse where he's cloned and puts out 4-5 regular series a month with the characters. Batman, Superman, Flash, Green Lantern and a rotating Showcase book.

    In theory, this is what we had when DC was regularly publishing BATMAN ADVENTURES and SUPERMAN ADVENTURES. The JLU book is terrific as well, but I think DC is cancelling it (because they aren't so bright when it comes to certain things).

    That's probably why he had Nitro locked up in a top-security prison.

    I like Penance, and I'm guessing that, in the end
    He'll just wind up going back to the Thunderbolts and Osborn will smooth everything over. After all, Penance came back, gave them Nitro, and still wants to do good. Osborn still wants a powerhouse. This will probably fit back into main continuity without much trouble.

    I guess this kinda takes place in the future, but what with Secret Invasion coming, and Dr. Doom doing other stuff (along with Mighty Avengers), I just don't see how it would fit.

    First motw for me:

    All New Atom
    The whole part where he is describing the cancer, and then the narrative as he's getting into the blood cell were really awesome.

    I really dug the new art.. didn't like the letters as much. I dunno if that has changed or not.

    She didn't actually date "that demon guy" (The Immortal) one of her impostors did. That being said yes that is the reason, Joss created a definite pattern with her never once was there a hint that she would go that way and then suddenly after like 2 issues she's with this other slayer? I just didn't work for me.

    The revel scene was pretty funny though.

    Whedon said it was just a young girl experimenting and she's not a lesbian. There was something in the NYpost or something like that.
