Brainy was great.<BR/><BR/>Scipio said: "With disgust that a Final Crisis one-shot was wasted on Geo-Force vs. Deathstroke, the fight no one but Brad Meltzer wanted to see?"<BR/><BR/>While I didn't touch the thing, I'm under the impression that it was not particularly a FC tie-in. Wasn't it titled "DCU: Last Will and Testament" rather than "FC: Last Will and Testament"? It didn't have the FC trade dress or anything else. From what I can gather, it doesn't fit in *at all* with the continuity of FC, and is just "the night before some really big fight." <BR/><BR/>Trinity has been making steady progress and is really starting to feel like a Busiek book-- which is high praise.<BR/><BR/>Krypto rocks.Jacob T.

He has a kingly presence that comes across even to beings from other planets. Geo-Force is aristocratic. He's haughty and petulant, and he always has to <B>remind</B> people that he's a prince.<BR/><BR/>Aquaman is inspiring. Either through his actions or his words or his low-level telepathy, Aquaman is a natural leader. Geo-Force just wants people to do what he says. No one is inspired by Geo-Force.<BR/><BR/>And so on.

But the Riddler has reformed. Since it's been made explicit in the story that the anti-universe is reactive to changes in the plus-universe and not the other way around, when the Riddler reformed, Enigma became a villain.<BR/><BR/>I would not be surprised, therefore, if part of the solution to defeating the anti-Trinity is to force the Riddler back to his life of crime.Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217376618860561999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-18570664799847819042008-08-28T14:20:00.000-05:002008-08-28T14:20:00.000-05:00I'm not clear on who Enigma's supposed to be..I'm not clear on who Enigma's supposed to be..CandidGamera :https://www.blogger.com/profile/04751863192933490300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-67595751508684762692008-08-28T09:27:00.000-05:002008-08-28T09:27:00.000-05:00Nope; you're officially cleverer than I am!Never o...Nope; you're officially cleverer than I am!<BR/><BR/>Never occurred to me a SECOND Magog was in the works.
