Indeed, I plan for the last words to pass from my lips to be "fantomenos...!", which will drive my heirs insane as they try to divine the meaning.<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo, yeah, if you skipped Countdown (and if you did, you are smarter than me) you missed the slow mutation of each of the 52 Monitors into separate personalities. <BR/><BR/>I, for one, am down about the loss of J'onn. I own the short-lived Martian Manhunter series, a full run of a mini from the Giffen JLA era, and I confess that I have a Beanie baby Martian Manhunter. <BR/><BR/>No, seriously. I do. <BR/><BR/>I'm a fan. But i also think that after the JLA: Trial by Fire series, DC has not known what to do with the character. I'm not sure killing him is the right narrative solution, but I think it solidified how our new friend, Libra, is going to be a challenge. Especially with the casual "look, this isn't a big deal" manner of dispatching he employed.<BR/><BR/>I'm gonna miss J'onn, if he is, in fact, gone.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-15725660944842394862008-06-03T23:40:00.000-05:002008-06-03T23:40:00.000-05:00Hey, remember me?

I may not know Anthro, Turpin, or an Alpha Lantern, but it all seemed pretty clear in context, and the story was engaging. I guess having read 7 soldiers got me up to speed on the New Gods human, um, forms or avatars or incarnations or whatever, but seriously, I enjoyed it. Frankly, the only thing that rang hollow for me was the Monitor business, but from my recollection from IC, Monitors should be powerful and somber, not scheming and melodramatic. But, whatever, in general I thought the 1st ish was great. Oh, and good riddance to Jonn Jonz, now the JLA can get back to being more like the Superfriends. Ok, that's it for now.Fantomenoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14131779138744656544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-57781727627117092972008-06-02T15:38:00.000-05:002008-06-02T15:38:00.000-05:00I have removed Twitter from the site.
