I think Prometheus is still alive – the dead one is a red herring.

And now Robinson’s nominated for an Eisner for writing it.

I had to revisit this post for solace.

I was almost willing to accept the story in a “Ok, so it sets up the status quo for the new JLA, and it gives us a Prometheus that isn’t a joke anymore”.

And then they kill him, so that they can make Green Arrow into the Punisher. Even though when he was brought back to life he was rebooted to be “pre-killer” Ollie. *sigh* Nice to have both Roy with a missing arm, and isn’t Conner still like elastic lad at this point?

This sounds like a terrible comic and it’s giving me a mental image of Devin Grayson beating the crap out of James Robinson but …

… the bit about the arrow to the forehead reminded me of how much better Identity Crisis* would have been if it had been about a bunch of heroes covering up Dr Light’s murder. Of course this sounds a lot more calculated than what would have been a kneejerk reaction of an arrow and/or mace to the face as retribution for Sue’s rape.

*Which was also an over hyped seven issue JLA mini that moved the DCU in the wrong direction and made no freaking sense.

It gets worse…

“Ian Sattler: “I’m happy it upset people because it means that the story had some weight and emotion.”

Uh…no. Even Calvin understood that provoking a reaction isn’t the same as saying something significant. There’s a big difference between “upset because the scene was so tragic” and “upset because the scene was a hackneyed, ham-fisted attempt at cheap drama which kills off a universally beloved character.”

Apparently, James Robinson narrowly avoided having to kill off AIDSgirl too.

Which is… who cares? I mean, superheroes with AIDS, especially ones who are human vigilantes with no superpowers who carry bladed weapons, don’t really work for me.

I am pleased that in this Bad Economy I wasn’t able to afford this series. After each issue’s bad reviews I was happy I was too poor to waste my money.
My eyes are burning for having read a portion of 3 issues [including #7] in the comic store.
Prometheus is one my favorite villiams. I liked the JLA stories Morrison wrote.
Here he is just ‘any villian’. It could have been Brainiac doing all this stuff and it would have made more sense (12th Level science!).
There is now a Epilogue to this series and then a mini-series about Green Arrow killing the villian.
Who Cares?
Not me. I avoided this crap. Lucky Me.
DC be ashamed.

Well, that was a pretty shitty post. Every time I think about paying for ocmics again, something like this comes along and reminds me that paying for beer and steak is more satisfying in the long run, and the beer and steak don’t turn my stomach.

P.S.-Cheshire showing up to get revenge for her deceased daughter is kind of… wrong. After all, she *did* make a new child for herself during the first Secret Six comic book. And as shittily as Cry For Justice has been handled, I don’t even want to know how they’re going to butcher her character in order to re-re-re-retcon her decision to procreate with Catman to replace her “beloved daughter” Lian.

I honestly don’t see a differesnce between the two.

I’m probably not making myself particularly clear. Thankfully, the existence of the TV show Dexter mans I can point to that TV show and say Morison’s Batman feels like the main character of that,

“I’d argue this is actually a reflection of Morrison’s vision of Batman, who fights crime because it exists and he has a sense of duty to stop it, not because of some sense of right and wrong.”

I honestly don’t see a differesnce between the two.
