You forgot the part where Goe-Force says that his name translates to "Superman" but he has let it slide, and plans to have it corrected in his obituary, which he has already written. Then he was told by Deathstroke that his name didn't actually translate to Superman at all, but he was told that only as an ego boost.

I also despise 3-D comic books, and haven't used the dork glasses yet to read it (I'm holding out until I can find my phantom-zone glasses). But I love Mahnke art. Thankfully, it didn't appear to my non-bespectacled eyes as though there was all that much 3-D to it.

Most pages weren't in 3-D. I did like the double-page splash that showed the Ultima Thule (yellow submarine) traversing realities. That was fun.

Madame Xanadu #3 - we jump forward several centuries to the court of Kublai Khan where Madame X has drifted to since the fall of Camelot. She again runs into the Phantom Stranger who is moving in the opposite direction through time as her, which upsets her plans of revenge. The two instead end up working together to recruit a young Marco Polo to keep history on track. I'm really warming to this series, and will be interested in seeing where the overall story is heading.

I though this was great (Superman, Captain Marvel, Ultraman and Doc Manhattan/Captain Atom all working together? Heck yeah!).

Did anyone catch the almost casual reveal that all the Earths are undergoing Crisises at the same time? So the Assault of the Evil Gods is just a symptom for the Dark Monitor's coming. This is a pretty major reshaping of FC as a whole.

I caught it. And yes, the 'Supermen' of the Multiverse working together is pretty awesome...i'm still waiting for the clarification of the Earth-3 'Crime Society of America' as seen in Countdown to Final Crisis, as they've been using Ultraman *fairly* often lately.

Also, It seems like Grant was saying after the Monitor recruited Superman (from Earth-2), it was his big plan to have Superman (a Superman, i suppose) be the 'savior' of everything....hence why Ms. Monitor got all the Supermen she could find together...

Righteous.

Reminds me of one of my favorite movie quotes.
Ione: "Nobody thinks it will work, do they?"
John: "No. You just described every great success story."

This issue seemed back to the JSA quality that I was used to. We're certainly seeing that Gog's gifts have the dark side in them as well as the good side. I don't know that it's intentionally that way or if Gog just is beyond understanding the lives of mere mortals.
Plus, we are seeing some major cracks appearing in the cohesion of the JSA. This issue also explains the origin of Magog's powers. I'm curious as to what the heroes, especially Supes, will do now that Magog is right there in front of them.

Re: Teen Titans

FWIW, Wendy is not shown dead at the end of the issue, whereas Marvin was shown very DOA.

Well looking at the back page with the thumbnail of next week's issue and the tagline...

Great issue. The way Hawkman was speaking I was afraid he was gonna get whacked.

Yeah, what's up with that?

Bruce should have been tappin' that to no end.

That would have been that BOMB to find out he was hittin' CW all these years.

Great. Thanks alot. Now I have to go out and buy this book. I hadn't made my trip to the local comic shop....now I must.
