This doesn't bother me as much as that the characters interact as they did in the first arc, set 5 years back. Also the dialog for the public can be bad at times but whatever.<br /><br />Still I don't think it's terrible, and there's something kinda funny about seeing the League as a bunch of fratboys as another podcast put it, but I was hoping for a bit more considering the talent. I guess you just need to buy the individual series for the character development. Next issue has Carlos D'anda art (plus Green Arrow) though so even if i jump off i'm still getting that. Dude needs to be on a monthly series.Desmondnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681886934290693362.post-17147894170888345122012-03-24T21:42:37.327-07:002012-03-24T21:42:37.327-07:00I can see your disappointment with JL.

I'm going to reread those first six issues to see if the flow holds up or if I'm right about the abrupt scene changes and such.<br /><br />Nightwing was okay. It was interesting to see the same scene drawn from another perspective.<br /><br />Shazam? Billy goes from nice kid to asshole faster than you can say Stupid. I can see it relating to a younger generation of readers, but yes it seemed unnecessary to me. And if this is suppose to be a backup this first installment felt more like a preview than a part one. So, far I'm hopeful.Conspirator Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13857166443817293130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681886934290693362.post-5536616150581109162012-03-24T15:42:19.516-07:002012-03-24T15:42:19.516-07:00Really?

I will say though, you're right about Snyder; he's been killing it on Batman. Nightwing was great this week too, and it ties in with Batman kinda. <br /><br />Also, what did you think of Shazam? I thought the complete 180 Billy Batson character change was unnecessary.Desmondnoreply@blogger.com
