A blog of my running thoughts while reading. *Warning: Spoilers*
Things just seem to keep getting more and more complicated, don’t they? And what is up with those villains at the end? A bunch of them looked like they were wearing the mantles of current good heroes! Are they from the future too? How are all these people getting back from the future? And what’s with the Justice League running off? And why was Diana pissy to Blue Beetle? I guess I’ll just have to keep reading!
This was definitely an interesting story. I kind of wonder what the broader implications of the story was, but mostly I just thought it was a good story. I always wonder why Wonder Woman is such a huge fan of Superman. What’s up with that? I found Power Girl’s resentment of Wonder Woman’s insistence on brains over brawn pretty funny and kind of interesting from a characterization standpoint. I think that mostly it was just fun for me to read about some characters I don’t read about terribly often.
I love Batman. He totally came through for Dinah! I have no idea how she’s going to rescue Ollie from Themyscira now, though. I do know she’ll tear the world apart trying if she needs to. She’s like that. Maybe Babs can help? And what about Connor taking the Green Arrow mantle? Is he going to give it up now or are there going to be two Green Arrows? That would be a little weird. I guess we’ll see what happens!
What is with all my comics ending like this today? And I don’t have the next Teen Titans, so I can’t find out what happens! These future Titans are very strange and creepy. It reminds me a lot of the “Justice Lords” from the Justice League cartoon. Very strange. I can guess what happened to Supergirl (Legion, most likely), but what’s with the others? Did Ravager die? Why is Martian Girl white? Very weird!
What the fuck just happened? I loved the issue. The beginning was awesome (Ollie’s expression when she told him she wanted to wait was priceless). I loved the reactions to the invitations (even if Barbara’s made little sense). The wedding “dress” was awesome - totally Dinah. The fight was great too, although I’m surprised Batman didn’t get an earful from Dinah and Babs at some point for skipping the whole affair. But what was with the ending? That totally came out of left field! Very strange!
This was a great special! The whole thing was so very in character for Dinah, putting everything off until the last minute like that and then finding a way to have it all work out anyway! I loved when she threw Ollie’s laptop out the window and then worried that Barbara might have seen! I have suspicions about what her brilliant idea for a wedding dress is, but I’ll be really interested (and probably amused) to see if I’m right. Dinah is so not a wedding girl! This was an absolute blast to read!
This was an awesome interval from all the various things going on in the DC Universe right now! Sometimes it’s really nice to just get to see a normal day-to-day sort of mission with our primary characters, as opposed to always having major world-shaking stories. Seeing Helena making a mission her own with the confidence to do so that Dinah always had was also way cool! I really enjoyed this issue.
This is such an odd comic. I don’t know how long I’ll keep reading it (maybe only another month or so), but I’ve enjoyed the issues I’ve read. It’s a very weird, dark look at Batman, but there’s a nice hint of humor and an interesting view. I like Black Canary, but I always like Black Canary. I’d like to see a little more Barbara! I guess we’ll see if it appeals to me enough to buy it next month!
Wow. A lot just happened. They killed Knockout. Pretty harshly, actually. Where is this going? And Babs and Dinah’s discussion was pretty heavy too. Dinah kind of struck a low blow there with her thing about Nightwing, but I kind of hope something comes of it. I hope Babs decides she does want to find out, or at least somehow deal with that. But I doubt she will.
Barda and Sin playing Pokemon was very funny and strange, but at least it baffled Misfit as much as it did me! That makes Sin’s kidnapping all the more heartbreaking.
This is definitely not a good situation, and I don’t have the end! How frustrating! It was definitely interesting to hear Ollie’s version of things and see how he’s feeling through all this. It’s such a big decision for Dinah and, especially with Sin to consider, she really needs to take her time considering his proposal. On the other hand, I can totally see how it would be torture for him to have to wait, not knowing what she’s thinking, especially with her ex showing up and complicating things (from his point of view, anyway). It’s all really well written.
