You're right on the money about Perez, about Bart's personality (and his backstory — Johns has a way of just offering up events and forcing you to accept slapped-together explanations), and in particular about the problems with SBPrime — who is IMHO the one real problem with this otherwise wonderful mini-series. And yeah, I would also have preferred that the Trapper remain myseterious... or at least that he <b>not</b> be SB Prime. (Then again, we've seen so many incarnations of the Trapper before that this could well be just another feint on the part of the real one, behind the scenes!...) Interesting that in the space of just a month, we've seen the return of both Earth-Prime (here) and Earth-One (in Trinity)... .-= Chris M.’s latest blog post: <a href="http://blog.smartmemes.com/2009/05/a-thought-for-memorial-day/" rel="nofollow">A thought for Memorial Day</a> =-.

Great review.

When I was reading Brainy's words, I instantly thought of Iris being "spirited away" at the moment of her death - which I thought was in the 90s (her resurrection, not her death). Iris' is one of the worst resurrections ever, imo. What little I understood or cared to understand about Brainy's explanation reminded me of a cross between Iris' resurrection and echoes from "The Nexus" in Star Trek: Generations. .-= West’s latest blog post: <a href="http://west3man.blogspot.com/2009/04/comics-for-sale.html" rel="nofollow">Comics for sale</a> =-.

If they just insert those two back into Teen Titans, I might be interested again. Actually, the best lineup remains those two with Robin, Wonder Girl, Starfire, Raven, Cyborg and Changeling. The only Titans run I enjoyed better was the Perez-Wolfman era. You know, how they brought Bart Allen back was VERY similar to how they brought Iris West Allen back from the dead in the mid 80s.

DC released a couple of pages from the new Adventure Comics, staring Superboy. It showed him in Kansas with Ma Kent and Krypto.

I've never been a big fan of quantifying them the way that I get the impression Marvel does, but here it seems it shoud be significant. @Demas: Got it. @Richard: Mainly I've been too busy to read the whole thing and pick out some good quotes. That and more timely stuff (the <i>Rebirth</i> preview, Lo3W) keeps coming up. I figure it'll keep a few days. @West: Good point on relative power levels.

I think Perez is just amazing and — in toto — it will make a super-fine trade. I'm so over all the continuity stuff, too, so any discrepancies don't bother me at all since none of it makes any sense anyway. btw, the Mark Waid AICN interview has all sorts of Flashy goodness in it (among other things) so I'm surprised you haven't touched upon it yet, O' Mighty Kelson. .-= Richard Pachter’s latest blog post: <a href="http://jokebooks.blogspot.com/2009/04/tucker-stone-reviews.html" rel="nofollow">Tucker Stone reviews!</a> =-.
