Good call. I was kinda like when I saw the Rage entity too. Anyone get the reference there? On a side note on what the Spectre told Atrocious about having faced the Rage entity before, it makes some sense now if that was the first instance that God sent down His Spirit of Vengeance. Man, this is getting awfully religious lol.

Cain) For example the primal force released by greed in the Garden of Eden manifests as the Avarice avatar not from the snake itself. I admit this isn't clear from the beginning as the Ion avatar does appear to transfom from the tiny aomeba creature. It's always difficult to quantify abstract concepts visually but I think Johns and particularly Mahnke did an amazing job with this issue.

What intrigues me right now is how, if at all, the rage Avatar being born from the first murder (Cain and Abel) might connect with the whole Crime Bible hooha over in Batman's books. I hope Johns and Morrison have compared notes. Now that would be a crossover!

It's absolutely got to be connected to that Crime Bible stuff because................Vandal Savage is Cain!!!! I think the rage entity is in him (remember his flaming eyes) and did he or did he not recently face down the Spectre during Final Crisis: Revelations (using the Spear of Destiny)??!!!

I am freaking loving this!

Oh and #53 was pretty damn good too.

Obviously Supes and Green Arrow will be back to normal, but looks like Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Firestorm, and the Hawks are poised to return too. "DCU: Rebirth" if you will.

Your going to get more Lex and Larfleeze in the Superman books as well. I am very interested in who is collecting the entities. Should be interesting. Also the secret meeting between the three characters that I don't want to mention yet to avoid spoilers was really very interesting.

Could that be the newest buddy team? I smell sitcom!

The Agent Orange and Baldy Show.

I wonder if this is Appa Ali Apsa, the crazed Guaridan.

Nice call. I'm tempted to look for things to add to my "Conspiracy folder" . Hopefully I'll get some time to look over more things. I do feel that DC is utilizing their old stories masterfully and weaving so well into current stories. That fact that one can find clues in things written so long ago is wonderful.
