I'm halfway through them, and I can't really dispute the negative reviews. Incoming editor Mike Carlin dismissing Joe Kelly wasn't as bad of an idea as they make it out to be, because after "The Obsidian Age," he'd proven he was no Grant Morrison, but not for lack of trying. No, Carlin's idiocy was in trying to turn the book into "JLA: Legends of the Retirement Home." This collaboration reads like one of Byrne's earliest <i>X-Men</i> issues from the mid-'70s, as opposed to the glory years, and certainly not on par with Claremont's excellent '80s work. I don't find it repellant like some, but it certainly is quaint in a sad way. I especially hate the quasi-jive Ray Palmer and John Stewart speak, recalling the earliest Bronze Age stabs at "characterization" through dialogue that doesn't sound read by a court stenographer.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862722106761723755.post-47483832276730814332011-04-26T23:17:11.322-05:002011-04-26T23:17:11.322-05:00Have you seen the customer reviews for this trade ...Have you seen the customer reviews for this trade over at Amazon?
