Basically that close to the Flashpoint reboot, most important to me was that Tomasi closed with Guy and Batman as friends, and he got that, so I'm satisfied enough. <br /><br />I'm soon to read Tomasi's first New 52 Green Lantern Corps trade, which I'm pretty excited about.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-9703150800224330632012-10-24T17:51:45.237-05:002012-10-24T17:51:45.237-05:00I found that very last issue, with Guy and Batman ...I found that very last issue, with Guy and Batman on the space station, kind of Silver Age-y in its logic. Why does the international space station have all of these internal defenses (robot tentacles? really?)? The bad guy tries to escape in a speed-of-light space plane by flying off away from Earth? Where was he going to go? He claimed to be working for the League of Shadows, but was a NASA Ph.D.? Also, why would an experimental speed-of-light space plane, about to go on a test flight, have a giant laser cannon on it? <br /><br />I mean, yeah, it's a comic about a guy with a magic green ring that can do anything. There's certainly a high level of "suspension of disbelief". But just the way that particular issue was written, it reminded me of reading an old Silver Age comic with its laugh-out-loud silly logic.<br /><br />That being said, overall I liked the book well enough. The Aftermath issues were a pretty good epilogue to the war, despite the Kyle/Soranik issues that you pointed out.D. Mark Simmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16537028797086907873noreply@blogger.com
