Brightest Day #2 - well I'm completely enjoying this. I'm probably least interested in the Hawks but everything else has definitely got me in. With JL Generation Lost and this it's like all the stuff I enjoyed about 52 back again. I'm finding myself surprisingly interested in the Firestorm situation.

He's really reminding me of Pariah so far. I don't think that kind of thing will be his ongoing role but to start with it's been kind of similar.
"Help them live" was an interesting comment from the ring. Maybe there's still something he needs to do to help those who have come back. Perhaps none of them are quite whole and something is missing - certainly Aquaman doesn't seem quite right. Would be really intriguing if "Deadman" becomes some sort of Guardian of life.

Me too. I hope they do something crazy with Mars. I really like the idea of taking our real world things and toying with them.
Ditto. I love the idea of J'onn trying to tereform Mars. It's an idea that scientists have theorized about for years and something that always fascinated me. It'll be really interesting if he succeeds and Mars is flourishing with life again like Earth by the time this series ends.
If you're interested in that stuff check out the Mars books by Kim Stanley Robinson if you haven't done so before. Probably the greatest series about the terraforming of Mars that has ever been done although kind of a dry read at times.

Guy Gardner remembered him in BN#8.
That was before Max used his powers (after augmenting them) to make everyone forget who his was. Now the only people who remember him are Booster Gold, Captain Atom, Fir, and Ice.
When'd he do that? Was that in JL Generation Lost?
Yeah, it was in the first issue of Generation Lost.

Actually, to be fair, Max only made everyone
on Earth forget who he was. All he did to Guy was to make him let him go after Blackest Night. Since Guy isn't on Earth, I think it would be fair to say that he probably remembers Max, and we'll see some fall out from that in Generation Lost.
Was it ever said that he only made the people on Earth forget? I mean, I know it's a major stretch to think his powers could reach all over the galaxy, but it seems worthless to make just the people on Earth forget when there are people off world that would remember him.
I also wonder about the information about him. There had to be extensive files on him, especially in the Bat computer. What happened to them?
It seems like he knocked out the world for a couple of hours, I wonder how many planes crashed and whatnot, it was cool when I read it but it seems like more of a stretch when you think about it. Ignoring the disasters that this would cause, I imagine a guy like Max could do a lot of damage to digital records with a couple of free hours.
The only people it showed knocked out were Fire, Ice and Captain Atom (Booster was already out). That's an assumption that everyone was out. Also I don't believe those characters were out for a couple of hours.
I'm really intersted to see how they deal with the stuff he couldn't affect like technology and people offworld. Actually wouldn't it be an obvious next step for Max to be doing something about the technology side of things. Should be interesting to see where it goes.

), but this series has got me interested. I'm sure this development is coming from the Black Lantern influence, so I'm really curious as to where this is going.
