    He is back!

    The Good

    Well most people are saying this issue was not as good as it thought. But in my perspective I thought it was a perfect issue and I loved it. Then we finally have a origin to go with him. And his origin is pretty bad ass in my point of view. Then what else we did we see in this issue. None other then The Spectre! I won't go in depth about how he came to appear and came to be. You'll just have to pick up the issue and see. I believed it was a good issue. And to me the art was not that bad but that is my opinion so you can have your own.

    The Bad

    Would've liked to see more of the Spectre. I mean I knew it would just explain how he came to be. But would've liked to see more of a confrontation between him and The Phantom Stranger. Since the Stranger seemed to know so much about him in Issue six of the Justice League.

    The Verdict

    I am very happy about this book. I think it could introduce some of DC's biggest magical beings. Even ones that have already been introduced but add more to there story. I am very excited to see where this book will go and what will happen. But go to your local comic store and pick this book up Now!.......are you going yet?!

      THE GOOD:  One of the best things about this issue, was the art that Brent Anderson provides to this book. His style is very clean but he adds something to the book and I'm glad that he is on it. When you first see Phantom Stranger, it's a stunning panel. The story is okay. Getting inside the main character head was interesting and Dan Didio adds a lot so we really get what we pay for. The concept of doing things right will take a coin off of him is interesting and would be a good thing to conti...
