Watching all the Iron Man robots get smashed by Hulk's ship was cool:īasically we got to see a lot of last week's comic with different art. I think that the point was to make him seem heroic and noble, but I still think he's a douche. It makes sense that a lot of regular people would hate Iron Man and other superheroes after the Civil War.Īs for Iron Man, this just gave his perspective on the battle from last week, with no new real information. I like seeing sides getting formed, so it won't just be Hulk versus everyone. Unfortunately for them, Hulk is not pro-anyone from Earth. It followed heroes (Hercules, Angel, Namora, and that really smart Amadeus Cho kid) and ordinary American citizens who are sympathetic to the Hulk, some of whom are even pro-Hulk killing everyone. I really enjoyed the Hulk comic because it focused on his allies. No one is going to accuse the World War Hulk cross-over of moving too quickly.Īll three of these issues revisit the events of last week's World War Hulk #1, from different POVs. The Incredible Hulk #107/Iron Man #19/Ghost Rider #12 Supergirl and Lobo? Batman and Blue Beetle? Green Lantern and Supergirl? And next.Batman and the Legion of Super Heroes?! Awesome. I love the crazy team-ups so far in this series.

Plus, who would have expected a touching scene between the two of them like this one: I really like how well Supergirl handles herself around Lobo. But that will have to wait until next issue because this one focuses on Supergirl and Lobo. I'm looking forward to seeing how he gets out of this one. Last we saw Batman, he had been merged with Tharok: And even if you do it's going to be wrong because Jimmy called the "Forever People" the "Tomorrow People" for whatever reason (possibly just to make Strange Adventures manager/New Gods superfan Dave Howlett's head explode). Unless you need to know who the New Gods are.

This entire issue was actually pretty damn forgettable.

So did you need to read Countdown to get the full death/return of The Flash story? Absolutely not.

Man, this series is so weird.Īnd just in case a New Gods roll call doesn't sexually excite the male readers, they threw in this: A double-page primer of who's who on Apokoplips and New Genesis. Jimmy is dictating into a pocket recorder as he does some investigative jounalism:Īnd then he does spell out who the New Gods are, for the sake of his/DC's readers: And that it had a nice Benes cover with Karate Kid hanging with the JLA.Īnd this made me laugh out loud. I did notice that Palmiotti and Gray were writing it for the second week in a row. The real treat of this story was the confirmation that the Justice League and the Justice Society combined are no match for the Legion of Super Heroes. Though, I don't think we should give up on Barry coming back just yet. And he's a great character and I'm glad to see him back and a part of the JLA.Īw, who am I kidding? I wanted a tearful reunion/group hug with Barry, Hal and Batman. And Wally has been the Flash for almost as long as Barry was. But he is one of those characters where I think his death is more important than the actual character. Of course I wanted to see Barry Allen ( I spelled it right this time!) again. I think Batman summed up my feelings in this adorable and heartbreaking panel:īut seriously, I'm glad it's Wally. I was sure I knew what was going to happen, and who was going to come back. I was on the edge of my seat for this whole issue. With that all out of the way, let's get to the good stuff. This is what you choose to wear to the office. I love Ed Benes' art, but I can't stand the cheesecake. Hal? Really? Also.where's Vixen? Apparently she can run as fast as a cheetah, which can run as fast as lightning.

I liked the point made by Jay Garrick that he is not the fastest member of the combined teams: Ok, before we get to the big reveal, a couple of items: Mark Waid takes over soon, but with which Flash? The answer can only be found in JLA #10. In the grand tradition of making me like a character most just before he or she dies, I liked Bart a lot in this issue. So anything that happens inside isn't much of a surprise. If you haven't read your comics yet this week, I'll just let you know that I am throwing down all sorts of spoilers here.
