I love Prometheus especially from his first two appearances. Prometheus is Batman if he had been raised by criminals. Besides Prometheus's fighting capability and intelligence, he also can download information into brain. He once beat Batman in battle by downloading the moves of 30 of the greatest martial artists ever including Batman to beat Batman. After his defeat by Batman and Martian Manhunter I was wondering why Prometheus sucked so hard. He was beaten by Green Arrow, the Birds of Prey, and teamed up with Hush. This book explains why. I am supremely happy with this issue. The cover and art are gorgeous and the storytelling is seamless. Prometheus returns as a quality and awesome villain.
My chief and only complaint from this issue is the death of Anima. Anima was from the 1993 DC Annuals storyline "Bloodlines." I loved that storyline from when i was a kid. While most of the Blood Pack are dead now I had hope for Anima. She is arguably the best thing to come from Bloodlines (Hitman is more of a fan favorite...I really wasn't into him.) Also in 1995, the Anima character won the Squiddy award for best character and another Squiddy for favorite ongoing series. She tried for a comeback last year as a part of Cyborg's failed Titans East. I just felt she deserved better than what she got (especially that last picture of her corpse.)

In this issue we find out what has been going on with Prometheus since the Maartian Manhunter mindwiped him, and we get to see him take revenge on the man who has been impersonating him ince it happened also. I really liked his appearances in JLA so it is a bit of a treat to see the guy back in top form.
This not only serves as a sequel to those books but also as a prologue to whatever DC has planned for him. It is something to see how easy a time DC has dispatching characters from the old Bloodlines stories, but I gess they will just serve the "Blackest Night " story. I guess the main reason for this book is to st up Prometheu as a major player in the DC Universe. Either way, it is a pretty cool book.
