@19cake69 How am I a bottom?

Geoff johns writing of Hal in JLA 1, seems like he lost his voice. I always imagine Hal sounding more like Han Solo in star wars, He wrote him that way in GL rebirth.

@radman107 Yeah Hal when written right should be the Han Solo of the DCU as opposed to a giant moron like he was here.

I just finished the Flashpoint collected edition. I will admit, that ending battle was nutty, and I kinda wanted some more things going on with the characters in that scene, but yet I was pretty much on edge and I had a fun time with it.

So overall, I enjoyed this series. And while I certainely don't think this goes on par with Johns's classics, its still a well-done and fun adventure of a comic book.

@raporfest I would say, that the problem with Flashpoint is, that it works as good Flash story, but as a story, that is supposed to be end of the previous contiunity, its really anticlimatic and has like zero foreshadowing. I think that Flashpoint was originaly supposed to be story arc in Flash book, but DC needed to star their new 52, so they made it crossover event.

So far, the new 52 seems like a hit and miss to me. Including new redesigns.

@Ikarosus It's perfectly fine . I was just confused in that you thought it was a good review but you didn't. And if you liked Flashpoint, that is perfectly fine. Hell, it started out incredibly good but like Blackest Night, feel short and sadly anti-climatic.
