Basically Persuader gets in a shot on Clark with his axe just before Rokk, Imra, and Garth show up. <br /><br />Otherwise though I think he was restrained from his usual horror movie level shenanigans and surprisingly the entire episode revolved around Clark convincing the Legion not to kill. <br /><br />So I would have some hope for his stuff on The Flash tv series if only because that's a case where there might be somebody around to say "no" to him.

I bet his reaction will be like yours.<br /><br />Here's something to think about - Geoff Johns (who is partly responsible for a lot of more gory DC comics in the past decade) is one of the writers on the new Flash show. It will be interesting to see if he can keep that show entertaining without having to resort to the usual swords through his usual the eye shenanigans.Jim Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006833955333061262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-88132806745395139622014-07-07T06:05:13.062-04:002014-07-07T06:05:13.062-04:00@cash_gorman - I know.

I don't normally review a lot of new bad comics on this site because it sort of brings people down about the current state of comics, but this one sort of begged for some comments.Jim Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006833955333061262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-66536820007147562072014-07-07T06:03:45.756-04:002014-07-07T06:03:45.756-04:00@Reno - I'm right there with you.@Reno - I'm right there with you.Jim Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006833955333061262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-82297251524698473172014-07-06T18:49:52.350-04:002014-07-06T18:49:52.350-04:00Lost me at "death of the Watcher which involv...Lost me at "death of the Watcher which involved his eyes being plucked from his head." This is why so many modern superhero comics read like fan-fiction submitted by Sid from Toy Story. Only instead of mutilating his sisters dolls it's classic superheroes and their supporting casts. <br /><br />I was actually enjoying the one sided banter between Sam Alexander and the Watcher over in the Nova comic.

AS it was, it's a bit wearisome. It's like they want to keep tacking on stuff to SHIELD/Marvel to make it more mysterious.<br /><br />I understand why they do it - when you are selling comics to people who pride themselves on their knowledge of the LORE, then the best hook you can give them is more LORE.Jim Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006833955333061262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-52220546689104548402014-07-04T11:50:38.779-04:002014-07-04T11:50:38.779-04:00I can be sold on god-killing bullets as a Kirby-by...I can be sold on god-killing bullets as a Kirby-by-Morrison sort of thing, but I agree with you on the using of Fury for this.
