This one was insider baseball, most definitely.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-21303800873061593622012-05-09T20:30:10.408-05:002012-05-09T20:30:10.408-05:00As someone who is unfamiliar with DC other than ha...As someone who is unfamiliar with DC other than having read a few batman, superman and wonder woman books, I was not really impressed with this story. Especially when the culprit was revealed which is was not convincing to me. There are some interesting ideas here but it felt like there were lots of characters jammed into the story that weren't necessary.<br /><br />Maybe this story would've been more effective for me if I had followed many of these characters previously but based on this story alone, I felt no connection to any of the characters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-88395726415706089682008-06-30T07:00:00.000-05:002008-06-30T07:00:00.000-05:00wonka -- Thanks for your comment, and welcome to t...wonka -- Thanks for your comment, and welcome to the fold!

Mainly because I feel that at times i'm reading so much into these characters that I've been following for 20+ years. Things like the way a character's opaque white costume lens gets shattered revealing the fragile eyes beneath. The way Elongated Man can "barely hold himself together" and the true expression of emotion in these two dimensional characters.<BR/><BR/>This review really made me feel justified, and aside from that, your writing and crafting of words is on par with excellence sir.<BR/><BR/>I stumbled across this looking for a timeline to get caught up with Crisis (Identity, Infinite, and Final) and you've just won yourself a dedicated reader.<BR/><BR/>Thank YouUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099468717108272153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-1131632144636070672005-11-10T08:15:00.000-06:002005-11-10T08:15:00.000-06:00Don't have one at the moment.

Great point concerning the visibility of the heroes' eyes, though I can't say I completely agree on whether Batman approved the League's actions, even without taking into account OMAC Project and Crisis of Conscience.
