I think these are good fun when DC does these teasers. Interesting stuff here:
- By my count there are 3 of the resurrected characters not represented here with the most conspicuous being Max Lord
- Whose shield is that?
- Whose coffin is it that Guy and co. are digging up?
- BL Aquaman seems to have suffered from somethign bursting out of him
- I think issue #6 gives us some real hints as to what Ronnie and Jason are doing burying the BL Firestorm
Issue #6Another good issue. I'm really enjoying the Martian Manhunter stuff. It seems to me that Geoff Johns has a real knack for horror tinged work - it seems to be some of his best stuff lately. And it's beautifully drawn by Pat Gleason. This looks like being a pretty brutal storyline.
In fact, all of the storylines were good this issue. It seems Deadman has forgotten how to live which I thought was a nice touch. It's not a surprise that a guy who hasn't had to worry about eating for so long has forgotten to eat.
It's starting to look obvious that the BL Firestorm is still alive inside the Firestorm matrix with Ronnie and Jason and still has some level of control. Not sure how they get out of this problem. My problem with the Firestorm story is that this Ronnie Raymond doesn't really seem to be acting like the one I used to know however maybe as hinted at in this issue he's been acting funny due to his feelings about what the BL Firestorm did.
And as I've mentioned before, I think Mera is starting to become a very interesting character with her history.
The art all through this issue was excellent.
