    I really like how Captain Cold keeps asking about Diana. This will be really good.

    @squalleon: Do you think this is great stuff in regards to Johns' Superman or Lex Luthor understanding? Also really glad to see Superman will still have some decent moments in Johns' Justice League story.

    Βoth. Superman and Lex playing "dare" touches on Clark's intellect on knowing Luthor's buttons and Lex's ego.

    He and Luthor will have some great moments together in this arc.

    @squalleon: lols. Love Lex.

    Who doesn't? Most well characterized villain in the DC Universe.

    @squalleon: Awesome, not many games of Dare involve Lex getting dared into curing cancer. At least this might mean Superman and Lex's scenes in The Darkseid War might play off well in the future. How well does Fabok draw Superman's old 'new' costume by the way mate?

    Perfectly. His belt especially is a great upgrade than JRJR's or Hitch's.

    Tsk. Luthor is probably the only villain whose ideas aren't "evil", he may be driven by jealousy but his view that Superman might put the world behind isn't half wrong. Deeper than anything most other "great" villains ever are.

    @squalleon: I'm glad to hear it, the belt was one part of the design I had my share of problems with in JRJR's depiction. I can't wait to see how splendidly Fabok draws the belt, his art's been growing in scope and detail since he started as artist on Justice League.

    His art was very good, exactly what you would expect from the flagship DC title. Mainstream, Super-buff art with much detail and widescreen panels. I didn't expect there would be someone that could replace Reis. Fabok was more than enough though. Especially his Superman, I like him more in the face area. Although nothing beats Reis' Heat vision Supes with glowing red lines. It made the armor make sense :P

    Reis was a tough act to follow to be sure, Mankhe was a decent fill in artist but Fabok has been a surprising replacement on Justice League to be sure. His Wonder Woman redesign is simply exquisite and the little details he draws on Captain Cold's cold gun are just one example of how minutely specific his work can be. I like how he keeps the character's faces mostly in detail too, keeps the events on panel from getting too distant for the reader to view.
