Yeah, I didn't really think D...Thanks, Allyson. Yeah, I didn't really think DC was doing this as anything other than to get the extra attention, like "Oh, we have a justification to use Death. Let's use her, that'll bring sales up." I also don't think she's showing up again, and like I said, nothing in the issue makes me want to buy the succeeding ones. Or even the preceding ones. And yeah, for ACTION COMICS, there's not any action.<br /><br />I'm not really a fan of Pete Woods. I do think this kind of story (talking) is the best use for him though, because I think he's even worse when he tries to do action. I once showed a friend that sequence in WORLD OF NEW KRYPTON where Superman fights a Kryptonian guard and he uses his fingers to hit the guy's nerve points, and my friend said "Uhh, is Superman fingering that man?"Duy Tanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02297797964049546420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038445680069154001.post-49151484943675215432010-10-29T08:02:33.716-04:002010-10-29T08:02:33.716-04:00Thanks for your comment Duy, I love you incites on...Thanks for your comment Duy, I love you incites on stuff.<br /><br />It just seemed a lot of DC build up for nothing.<br /><br />Sure...she talks, but... I just think it could have been more creative. Maybe more showing of his life etc.. I do think a different type of art could have been better and more of a help to the story.<br /><br />I also think the dream(or nada dream) ending didn't have to be the only way out. He is dealing with the Black Ring energy, he could have used some consequence of that energy being disturbed...or the fact that the energy was changing.. etc.. Maybe that is where Cornell is going, but then again I don't see him expanding on it either...I think her cameo is done and that's that. <br /><br />I guess it just wasn't my type of thing.Allysons Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747911434408484640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038445680069154001.post-17463364387953487612010-10-29T01:46:41.193-04:002010-10-29T01:46:41.193-04:00I gotta disagree here, Allyson.

That's the point of her character; it's to get whoever she's talking to to evaluate their feelings of life and death. And I think on that note, Luthor shone brilliantly.<br /><br />Also, I thought the ending was very predictable. There was only one way it could really go, but it wasn't a dream, I think. Or if it was, it was one of those real dreams where Death actually did show up in Lex's dream.<br /><br />Having said that, none of this is enough to get me to regularly collect this title.Duy Tanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02297797964049546420noreply@blogger.com
