    Adequate Ending

    I've been waiting a full month to read this issue, and now that I had, well... It wasn't what I was expected but it still fulfilled my expectations.

    The Good: The H'El on Earth arc ends with a ending, that while not perfect, it's still satisfying. The issue gives every character a fair amount of development and I enjoyed how the Super-family finally put their differences aside to finally take H'El down. It was also good to see Kara finally agree with her cousin on one thing: H'El must be stopped. At first, I had a mad on for her because she was being unreasonable for ignoring Superman, even though he had her intentions at her. By the end of the issue, I might have grown fond of her. We'll see how she develops in her own book. The art is as good as always.

    The Bad: I didn't like how underused the Oracle was. The promotional material made it a big deal about how the Oracle was going to interfere in the story arc. When he appears, his presence is minimal at best, downright unimportant at worst. He is only a passive observer. I guess covers do lie when it comes to these kind of things.

    I enjoyed the H'El on Earth crossover. Now, let's move onto the next big story! Good reading!

It shows consistency. ...

      WHAT. THE. H'EL. 0

      Lobdell... you totally blew it. I was on board with this whole event, Superboy and even Supergirl were improving, as was Superman but it wouldn't take much to improve this series, but the ending of this massive event was a complete and utter mess of a ridiculous magnitude. Aside from the art. Kenneth Rocafort made this finale gorgeous and quite epic in combat.First off, there's the significantly hyped Oracle, with ties all the way back to Superman and Stormwatch #1, constantly built up across th...
