Flashpoint sucked. JLA #1, however, was incredible.

[Blackbeard]

JL was way too short. there wasn't much story at all and we have to wait for 2 months for issue #2. great.
and here I was, looking forward to Superman vs. Batman. because we've never seen that before.

Jim Lee, Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair did a wonderful job with the art though

@The Good$ Wow. Pretty high scores. Not sure if I'd give the same ratings, but welcome to the thread Our little community is growing.

@endlessknight I am yet to read the last two issues of Flashpoint. I'll post my thoughts after.

@Blackbeard I agree about JL being too short, which is a good sign. We wanted more I hope it attracted a lot of new readers who will also pick up issue 2.

hopefully with all the 52 titles coming out this month, #2 will have more content than just delicious Lee art.
and that Batman vs. Superman won't be long and dragged out.


also:

Directly following the ominous events of SUPERMAN #1, Adam One leads half the Stormwatch team to recover the [INFORMATION REDACTED] from deep in the Himalayas. Meanwhile, Jack Hawksmoor and the rest of the Stormwatch crew look to recruit two of the deadliest super humans on the planet: Midnighter and Apollo! And if they say no? Perhaps the Martian Manhunter can change their minds…

note: Stormwatch comes out Sept. 7 while Superman #1 on Sept. 28.

I'm trying to think of a Back to the Future reference...

I'm wondering if Apollo and The Midnighter are still gay.

Action Comics #1 And Batgirl #1 Sell Out And Get Second Prints. Justice League #1 Gets Third. Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

And joining Justice League #1 in the sellout stakes comes news that both Action Comics #1 and Batgirl #1 have sold out and are getting second prints. A radical reinterpretation of Superman as a socialist crusader in T-shirt and jeans, the return of Barbara Gordon, Oracle to the Batgirl she used to be – and all the issues about disability that come with that – have gathered acres of newspaper coverage, and have seen retailers steadily increase their orders until the whole print run has been absorbed.

pretty unexpected.

Batman, Batgirl and Batwoman are going to be great I think.

I'm wondering if Apollo and The Midnighter are still gay.

most likely lest DC incur the wrath of the comic book reading LGBT community.

"oh no, DC made Midnighter and Apollo straight. they're homophobes!"

they already have enough to deal with from feminist whining about DC not having enough women or some shizz.

Spoiler: Odin has had enough of your shenanigans 

one of the things that bothers me about TMT right now(besides Fractions dubious characterization of Thor) is that it seems detached from the rest of the Marvel U. they're fighting Galactus above the Earth's atmosphere and there's no sign of the Avengers, F4 or anyone. you'd think Galactus' presence alone would warrant an assemblage of heroes, much more if Thor and his fellows are warring with him.

the book is still pretty badass though.
