Random Reactions to 52:

Okay, so I *finally* got the chance to read 52. I hate being behind. Oh well. :-)

I have a few immediate reactions, there is no attempt at analyzing clues/symbolism here, I need to be more awake for that.

This super-citizen stuff of Lex's sounds like a really bad idea. Reminds me a little of the Bulleteer's husband and his quest for superpowers, and how they mentioned so many people hospitalized for the same idiot reasons. This isn't going to go well.

I think Skeets is evil.

Alan's patch looks cool in civilian form but dumb behind the mask, the glowy conjured eye looks better.

And okay, so if his one eye isn't his...then there are *two* eyes of Alan Scott floating around somewhere. Damn. And I get hell for misplacing my *car keys*.

Acck. Cyborg-Firestorm (Fireborg?, Cy-storm?) reminds me of nightmares I used to have about teleportation after watching the Fly. Eeek.

Mid-Nite's got lots of panel time! Yay! And as usual he's rocking the glasses.

Egads, frothing at the mouth is never a good sign.

Renee AND Maggie! I'll refrain from a dirty joke about Kane street. But only barely.

Hee, name in red! I know what that means thanks to Homicide. :-) Who says obsessive tv watching isn't educational. Okay, okay, Munch made me laugh and Tim Bayliss was pretty.

...Wow, Buddy Baker is either a saint or gay, he's not even *looking*.

Um. Adam Strange is having a bad day. Looks kind of hot though, aside from the obvious.

So that makes three eyes wandering around, but only two made of Starheart energy made flesh...that's a plus, I suppose.

Now I want to run a DnD campaign with magical artifacts called: "The Eyes of Alan Scott" just to snicker at the non-comic geek players that wouldn't get it. Still you can't tell me *two* eyes made up of starheart floating free in the cosmos is a good thing.

Yay, the history's finally to the Crisis. It's almost relevant. I'd still have rather heard the history of New Earth, but hell, we're getting somewhere.

But I want to know if people remember E-2 Superman and Batman.

Hey, if Batman and Robin were JSA members, did Robin and Sandy hang out at all? Get into trouble? Or maybe hate each other and fight all the time? As the two kids associated with the JSA, they'd have been in an interesting position. Well, I guess it's a moot point now, but I'm curious.

Good issue. I'm intrigued. :-)
