The odd thing is that Jeckie is there as Sensor Girl and Polar Boy is there at all. Makes me wonder exactly when Superb--er, <I>man</I> left the Legion.

(Blue Beetle)<BR/> * Firestorm's ingenious defeat of Kalibak and then the Parademons. (Firestorm)<BR/> * Mr. Mind's makeover. (52)<BR/> * Finding out the answer to "52 what?" (52-<BR/> * Oh, by the way-- I TOLD YOU SO; Skeets is innocent. (52)<BR/> * Well! Hippolyta sure wakes up crabby, doesn't she? (Wonder Woman & Amazons Attack)<BR/> * Robin's ongoing man-crush on Superbo-- Kon-El, the Hero Whose Named Must Not Be Spoken. (52)<BR/> * Hal Jordan's brilliant tactics (Justice)<BR/> * Batman & Friends fighting "the nightmares of the Arkhamites". (JSA)<BR/> * The Rolling Head of Abraham Lincoln! (Amazons Attack)<BR/> * The EXTREMELY interesting set of statues in the Fortress of Solitude (including the fabulous Sensor Girl) and Superman's speech explaining them. (JSA)<BR/> * Wait, wait ... did he just throw up Batman's utility belt...?! (JSA)<BR/> * I really can't imagine Wonder Woman calling anyone "Mom"; but it did make me laugh! (Wonder Woman)<BR/> * At least Geoff Johns knows how to write Geo-Force as the pompous undeserving jackass he is. (JSA)<BR/> * The Rolling Head of Detective Lenahan! (Catwoman)<BR/> * Well, based on Black Lightning's comments to the president (and some other info), I guess the Hall of Justice is on the site where (here on "our earth") sits the Holocaust Museum. Not exactly, where I would have picture it, but at least its in DC where it belongs.

The picture of the statues in the fortress [but where's Quislet? Maybe a skeets connection there...]. What flight rings are made out of. What the Emerald Eye is. The Wonder Woman/ Black Canary/ JLA answer. The fact that Dream Girl's and Sandy's/ Sandman's prophetic dreams are linked through the Dreaming.<BR/><BR/>And, hell yeah, the nightmares of the inmates at Arkham, and Mr. Mind's makeover.<BR/><BR/>How can last week have been so disappointing and this week so satifying?Jacob T.
