I’m thinking about dropping the LSH book, this is 2 or 3 issues in a row with nothing happening. Along with the WW issue, its a trend I’m getting tired of. I don’t need wall to wall action, but at $3 for only 20 pages I expect more action in a superhero book than this.

An aside I usually love Walt’s work, but it was up and down this issue. I liked the scenes he drew with Vi and Ayla (good to see them recognized as a couple again) and Sun Boy & Polar Boy as well. Yet the Cosmic Boy scene was unreadable to me. If the characters hadn’t called him by name I wouldn’t have even known it was him.

I saw it more as a throwback to the costumeless “Relevant” era of the original Titans. As well as a nod to the history of the team in general.

I know it’s futile to hope for, since the series is ending, but I wish there was an annotated Tiny Titans pointing this kind of stuff out. It’s so clever sometimes!

Re: the Tiny Titans ’70s gags, I THINK it was commentary on the recent RETROACTIVE things DC did, but only commentary in so much as Baltazar and Franco thought of a line of gags that kinda sorta were inspired by them, and that’s usually reason enough for them to stick gags in. I like Gordon’s gear.

Yeah, that’s exactly what I was reminded of — Hellblazer with a boxer’s face.

I got more out of this issue of Wonder Woman that you did. Even though the art wasn’t like Chang’s, I still liked it. (In a few places, it reminded me of the good parts of John Byrne). I liked that Poseidon was non-human. I did NOT like the new, snarky, British, “I know more about the situation than you do, but I will not share my information except in cryptic bursts” character — I already have John Constantine in JL Dark, I don’t need another.

LSH has gone back to officially saying that it's perpetually 1,000 years into the future of the editorial "here and now", if memory serves.
