So it seems that Saint Walker is the JL's newest member, awesome and I love the idea that the new lanterns are all finding their place in the DCU beyond Green Lantern

Doesn't Walker have, like, a universe to spread hope to?

I've got to admit the new team arc with Omega Man looks pretty damn good. Is anyone reading it?

The new arc with Omega Man is pretty damn good. I really like Grayson having a team of his own to lead again. It's a solid team too with Donna Troy, Jade, Jesse Chambers, Supergirl, Starman & Congorilla.

Anyone reading the current story arc? I like Eclipso. I don't like Robinson. So I need to know if this is good.

BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Issue #5 in the books. It definitely had some shocking and maybe OOC moments.

I almost facepalmed when Batman SPOILERStookhismaskoffSPOILERS
Yeah, I get the intention of the scene and with another character it would probably be pretty effective, but it's freaking Batman. And it's further evidence to support my claim that Johns absolutely cannot comprehend the pathos of the character.

Yeah, that seemed extremely OoC.

Also? Darkseid is one of the most awesome villains in comicbook history owing not to his power, but his menacing and tyrannical nature, his absolutist goal and his tendency to give awesome speeches, among other things. Knowing that, Johns could endeavour to, you know, actually have him do something, rather than have him stand around and act like a giant spook. Because if a giant spook is all you wanted, you could have just went with Mongul.
But hey, he soloed the JLA in one blast. That's really not too shabby.

Hey man, he said "I am Darkseid."
Those 3 words are enough to fill a novel.
...or something.

Yes, the heroes are young and inexperienced and facing a threat like they've never faced...but...it's....Batman.

Alrright, end of the first arc. Not sure if I'm invested enough to continue reading TBH.

I was alright with the first few issues and the re-introductions but after that literally nothing happened. I felt like the back up story was better than the main feature. Not to mention I read Ultimates #7 right after and it's story just blows this weak sauce out of the water.
