He and Damage survived the massacre in IC and I was initially mad that Ray wasn't going to be showcased in the title he was born for. Thankfully that was corrected.<BR/><BR/>My suggestion is that you read Battle for Bludhaven first, then Freedom Fighters. BfB is a great introduction of the characters and the slightly off-kilter DCU that Gray and Palmiotti are working in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-81572904248909083792008-03-27T08:37:00.000-05:002008-03-27T08:37:00.000-05:00It's also just $14.99 for an eight-issue miniserie...It's also just $14.99 for an eight-issue miniseries.

Given the price of trade paperbacks these days, I might say the summary was enough -- certainly I don't expect this series to play a big role in the DCU, certainly not an integral one in Final Crisis -- <B>but</B>, if you could get a good deal on <B>both</B> trades, then I might say it's worth it. The first trade, as you read, is a lot of origin and not a lot of story, but both trades together might make a more satisfying (if not continuity-heavy) Saturday afternoon read.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-81055229645203102062008-03-22T15:18:00.000-05:002008-03-22T15:18:00.000-05:00This mini when originally published didn't have th...This mini when originally published didn't have that "must buy" factor.
