Wonder Woman was uneventful.
JL was okay, but is starting to fall flat for me. Was cool to see the Metal Men in action, though.
Pandora was mediocre at best.Not a very stellar week, imo.
Well, they are finally going to address her merging the timelines and such. Also, the future of Constantine sounds pretty bad ass.
We spoke about Pandora being equated with "Forever Evil," both with readers and on a meta level with the heroes of the New 52 However, she's also a character whose very existence came out of "Flashpoint" and was the one who merged the three timelines together in the face of some evil that hasn't been specified. Is this something you're going to touch on at all in your stories? Are you building up to answering the question of why she merged the timelines?It's definitely something I'll touch on and I'd love to get to an answer; careful readers will see that Felix Faust might have gotten a little bit of truth during "Forever Evil: Blight." He started to tell Pandora that he realized she's not from this universe and he began to talk about it, but of course circumstances cut him off. Yeah, it's something that always hangs over the book and informs a lot of what is going on. It's interesting to me that Pandora may not recall what she did, but we all know what she did. It definitely will be addressed, absolutely.
Futures End Solicts for September.
Me either. He'll undoubtedly be swatted aside as a means to show us just how powerful this iteration of Doomsday is... It's sad that writers have degraded Superman into little more then a god damn measuring stick for other characters. They've made it nearly impossible to keep an optimistic attitude with him. 🙁

I just wish Johns had as much control as he used to. Even when he wanted to make a villain look good against Superman, he never shat all over him to do it.
Yeah, wasn't it Pak who had a young Supes struggle with a small sailboat and need help from a normal human to move it? Tired or not, that is just stupid.
Also, why on earth are so many people worrying about Supes going rogue in the DC universe? I mean, it's incredibly clear at this point that he isn't really a threat to the planet at all, especially with how often he gets beat. Does DC really expect the readers to buy the idea that Supes would be a huge threat if he went rogue, and that the world needs all of these special groups dedicated to taking him down when almost every single comic he's in has him get stomped?

Superman is being handled horribly by almost every writer, atm. He seems to accumulate a poor showing in every single comic he pops up in these days. I can only *hope* the upcoming "Doomed" event will give him some much-needed redemption.

And it has been stated several times that Superman might be the only person in the *universe* to stop doomsday. He was already established as a threat when he broke WW's arms casually.

Its certainly not that bad. Only Soule is writing him at that level. What other low showings he had these past few months? Just two months ago he *shattered* the whole physical and metaphysical forms of Phantom Stranger with one shot, closed a tear in reality with sheer willpower after exorcising a city full of evil souls. Getting beaten by kryptonite isn't a bad thing, kryptonite was neutered too much post-crisis IMO.
Didn't Superman create a big bang or something?
