Batman/Superman 25

[RadioCleve]

So this most painful trip is over. And, in the end:It was all a game for Myx to get his full power back from a forgotten story about the Joker? When Dan Slott references obscure history, the story is still intelligible without understanding the reference. Here... I was left almost angry. Now had this come out a year ago, I don't think I would have been nearly as upset. But now, after the crisis... too little, too late.

I understand the mitigating circumstances, but the payoff was not nearly good enough. Myx was just testing B/S?? What crap! Since this had a little payoff during the Adventures of Superman run that wrapped up the Ruin line when Myx showed up, depowered, to help.

After three fun, wonderful arcs, I'm sad that Loeb's run wrapped up this way. Much the same way I saw his Supergirl run wind down. I am a little more than worried about what this means for his run on The Ultimates. But maybe some new characters with a new company will help revitilize him.

Yeah, this arc was pretty weak.

[Downfall]

This was one of the most confusing things I've ever read, it took me 3 tries to get what was going on (I didn't read the story where Joker had Myx'ies power, somebody told me about that.)

I mean, it had some enjoyable parts, but...

I kind of liked the set-up, and what was the guy, Atomic-Skull? Ed's rendition of him was just wicked, but yeah it definitely ended with a whimper after three of the best story-arcs ever.

I agree with you RadioCleve. This was a huge disappointment :(
The last few issues have been rather bad, but I kinda hoped Loeb still would be able to end it with a bang. Unfortunatley that wasn't the case.

So, is this book going to continue or is it cancelled?
If it continues, who'll write it?

It is continuing. Mark Verdeihein(sp?) the recent guy from Superman if I am not mistaken. Ethan Van Scriver is the artist.

This sucked, and I stoped buying the book during the parallel evil earths storyline, "dark futures" I think it was called.
I bought this because I'd read on dc.com that it tied loebs run together, when all it did was explain why its been such a convoluted mess.

Number 25 came out already. My comic shop has not gotten yet.....:no:

[Sasquatch]

.....yawn.....

is it out yet?

the single title that did more damage to the post CoIE dc universe ever
i think all copies should be burned, along with the involved "creators" :LOL: :LOL:

What a disaster, what a great crap, everything ended in a whimper.

This would have been a good introduction to Crisis had it been not a rushed ending and had the crisis not started already. Too bad Superman and Batman didn't remember any of this during Crisis. Joker shouting Darkseid to sit down and Darkseid nearly erasing Joker with OE was the only good thing, also what does the skeleton Wolverine doing here?

But first, we never saw female Darkseid :rant:. The whole plot was "it was just a test/game/dream" type cliché. Then they brought back one of the worst ideas in DC, the Batmite. Then there is the was Composite Superman; if you want to show the importance of Superman Batman team up don't put crappy ideas that will make me read DKR2 instead. Plus when Joker snapped they could have brought more evil characters, since they brought this guy (http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~toliveir/graphics/party/retardedSuperman.jpg).

Maximums don't exist, just a figment of imagination? Why they were good concepts. Now Flash isn't going to say "These guys, they are just Maximums wanna-bees. I bet nine to ten they are manipulated by Darkseid." in a JLA/Avengers crossover.

Also there is Jeph Loeb's "Blessed are the Superman and Batman fans, for all other comics are crap" or some b******* similar preaching and

Superman is core of the universe nonsense. What was the purpose of it anyway?
