It was okay. It's just a weird book now with everything ending. It knocked the stakes down to like negative a million. Counter-Earth is also one of the least threatening locales Remender has created. Iunno. It was just ok.

Real pretty though, and he writes all these characs flawlessly. I think it might be because it's only five parts and there's a super definitive end (no SW crossovers announced, right?). Used to be a story like this would be the part of a bigger tapestry and also have like 15 issues to really play out. This is a whole new thing, and time has run out. Not Remender's best look. With Cap, we already know about Hail Hydra, so it feels like it can still lead somewhere. Also, his Cap run has felt more episodic then his team stuff, so it didn't feel as weird.

Yeah, I'm not thrilled with building up all these teams to only have them stripped away after six or so issues. Like how long will Sabretooth really be a hero for?

So, Dr. Fate is not Earth 2 Fate, but Earth Prime Fate, I am assuming? Cause it doesn't make sense otherwise.

iirc it was either Earth Prime or unknown earth. He has the same name as Earth 2 fate, Khalid, so that doesn't help matters. I haven't read it yet but as I understand it, most of these titles aren't suppose to be heavily reliant on continuity. I think Starfire had Superman in his JL costume, even though in Superman he's depowered in street clothes.

Waiting until I get out of the office to read my books but Secret Wars #2 was fucking awesome!

Looking forward to Black Science, Vader and Convergence (hate read).

And that has me a little worried. I don't mind continuity light where we don't have to worry about costume shit or do minute by minute accounts of where people are but I'm going to be less interested in stand alone titles that have zero ties whatsoever unless they're really good.

Been a while since I last read a Green Lantern book but Lost Army looks like it's worth picking up next month (mostly cause of Saiz).

NYCC Tickets page is already dead for me. : ( They handle this so shittily every year, and its worse now with their ONLY retail partner being Midtown comics.

It also seems very clear now that

SECRET WARS

There will be no reboot. The Cabal survived which implies Team Reed Fail did too. They have to rebuild the world as THEY knew it. There will be some changes here and there I'm sure, but it's still the Marvel Universe we know.

Theories?
I wish we had more discussion about the book, it's one of my favorite things DC is publishing.

First thought would be the same process that made the rest of them just done on a woman instead of a man. We've seen that it's possible, in Teri's case.

Though... Hmm. There is that comment about her being an "insult to womanhood". Though I can only imagine the shitstorm that would ensue if the implication is that it's a man (Guy) turned into a woman and thus not "really a woman" because of it. So I hope it's not "Hal turned into Guy but a woman".
