"I'm done talking. Get out of my cave." One word: wow. I'll just break this down backwards for you. Anyway you read this, it's a great read, and completely lives up to the original. 1. Superman gets his ass kicked. Again. - This actually surpasses the original ass-kicking in DK1 (did I just say DK1?). - Batman's plans never fail. And all the Bat-o-philes on DC message boards rejoiced! Yay. - This was absolutely, positively mesmerizing. I have never read such a one-sided, panel by panel ass-wooping in my life. - As soon as I saw the dinosaur come to life, I knew it was over. - And never mess with the penny, Superman. You break the penny -- we break you. - Ouch. Even the Atom messed up Supes! Man, this was a LEGENDARY ass-woopin'! 2. City of Kandor, Brainiac, Kingpin Luthor, Old Man Marvel, and who is that HOTTIE in the blue and white-starred spandex? - Kara? Oh yeah. What Crisis? - Wonder Woman never looked this good. I mean never. That damn mask with the covering for her nose has GOT to be sexiest look of the century. - Did I mention the spandex? - "You bum." Frank Miller really understands Old Man Marvel, doesn't he? - Luthor looks a little bit too much like Kingpin, Frank. Sorry, I'm not buyin'. It's fun, though, so I'll go along with it! - Brainiac - Oh yeah! Wooooooh! - The city of Kandor -- oh yeah, Clark, get on your knees. Just like that. Oh yeah. Beg for mercy. Oh yeah. That's good, Clark. Just like that. - Superman was really in feeling mode there, wasn't he? I mean, he literally COULD NOT DO ANYTHING but collapse and cry. Frank Miller is a genius.
Okay, I can't go through everything -- this book is a million pages! Wooooh! Just highlights.... Commissioner Gordon -- reduced to pundit on News in the Nude. What happened to, "I think of Sarah? the rest is easy?" Uh, oh. I have a bad feeling about this. News in the Nude -- do you know that some cable network announced they were actually doing this, just last week? I was shocked when I read it -- Frank Miller is on the ball, in the zone, tapping from the Matrix ... he is the Zen master of all future, worst-case-scenario realities. 'Nuff said. Earth-0 Green Lantern - That was awesome! And, I'd like to thank Frank Miller for the credible, realistic ending to Hal Jordan. Of course he would take us at our word, and leave. He's a six! I wonder why DC didn't use a variation of that, back in the day? What, were they afraid Kyle Rayner couldn't hold the fan's attention? It is soooooo good to see Barry Allen Flash back in action! Wooooooooh! "I always loved Utah." You're right, Carrie (and Frank) -- this is SO cool! Frank can REALLY draw Barry Allen, can't he? Oh, I cannot stress enough how refreshing it is to see Barry Allen. I like how he got Superman. The line about his costume was classic. His concern for Iris -- perfect. Superman's rants against Bruce -- wow, he's actually gotten WORSE over the years. Unbelievable. Well, looking at Earth-0, I now realize it's quite believable! Carrie Kelley -- Wow, she's great. So real. So believable. I love her character! Unfortunately, I am predicting a tragedy here -- I think Miller's setting us up for something particularly sad. The Question -- More! More! I am pretty much speechless ... Rorschact is back. Definitely the most pleasant surprise of this new Earth-0 reality. We need Rorschact, now more than ever. No wonder we've been quoting "Justice is like the Hawk...." and the Borrower wrote "Scourge of the Earth" -- we sensed Rorschact's arrival! Now that's he's here ... let the quoting begin! Digital President -- I'm buyin'! M-m-m-Max Headroom -- Headroom. The Internet -- who needs TV-shaped windows, when you can have multi-sized internet boxes floating about? And how about the Happy Hacker? Frank Miller is in the zone and running. Another prophetic message from Ezekiel Miller. The Atom -- Wow. Being in that petri dish for so long, that has to affect a man, right? I mean, you don't actually think he's going to remain sane for the entire series, do you? I love his character, though. What a great intro by Miller. Jimmy Olsen -- Well, nice to see him finally see the fallacy of Corporate America, and speaking up for what's right! Boy, is he the ULTIMATE man against society or what? I'm half expecting him to say stuff like "They're gonna heard us like CATTLE!" Read Mr. Olsen's rant on page 30 again, with a Charlton Heston voice -- and enjoy. Finally, the FIST OF BATMAN -- power to the people, y'all. BOOM! -tony |
