Jesus, that was amazing.

👆 where metatextual events are concerned, morrison is truly as good as it gets. this issue/series was WELL worth the years-long wait, imo.

I like what Morrison does when he flexed his metatextual muscles. Wish I could elevate him to a higher level, but he had that one Batman run...

Multiversity is going to be a major game changer. It was simply awesome.

So, is the main Superman supposed to be the same one from the end of FC 7?

It seems like a major nod.

Also, I wasn't too up for this due to the stinker of FC, but this first issue was good. It feels like it'll be way better than Final Crisis. Plus it's a good mix of fun and seriousness.

Morrison's Batman run is, imo (I'll add this so I don't get torched), in the top 5 superhero runs of all time (my personal favorite, actually). What didn't you like about it?

It seems to play with the idea that the longer even a young, hopeful Monitor (*cough* us *cough*) is exposed to the ones 'behind' space/time who have no rules/laws governing them, the more he becomes hateful and judgemental.

"We want you to give up your dreams. We want you to abandon hope. We want you like us. [...] It will become so bad you may wish to die or commit suicide. But the anti-death equation will return you to this condition. Indefinitely."

i.e. even the young, imaginative ones, "the last of your kind - the wonder boy" eventually becomes corrupted.

Maybe. Unlike Rox Ogama, he may be turned back.

The 'anti-death equation' used is very reminiscent of Darkseid's anti-life equation. hmm

Well, Charles Soule has signed exclusively to marvel, so he is definitely going to leave Red Lantern and Superman/WW and Swamp Thing (though getting time to wrap up).

RL's been one of DC's best recently and his ST good too, so that's a loss (plus? The guy's output is absurd! So many books!)

Good riddance. Admittedly I haven't been reason ST or RL, but his SM/WW has been abysmal. Also loathed his Inhumans.

ares834 Senior Member

Ugh, hate these gimmick months. It's especially bad this year because I have no clue (or interest) in what is happening in Futures End.

Latest justice league was good, but awkward.

The chief was never -this- blatant about trying to emotionally controlling the doom patrol...

What's wrong Soule? Not sure about his other titles but Red Lanterns is brilliant.

Q99 Senior Member

Ares said SM/WW was bad... and my impression mirrors his in that it is easily Soule's weakest title, by far. I don't know if he can't do romance or if he just can't do romances that lack base chemistry, but...

Conversely, I'm in agreement with you that Red Lantern is brilliant, and fits well within Soule's ballpark.

Golgo13 Senior Member

Both Swamp Thing and RL are good/great. He'll be missed by me.
