“More dead rising and things are getting darker!”

After the events of last issue, I couldn’t wait to see what was coming next. And I wasn’t disappointed in the least! The story picks-up with the Atom talking to a transformed Hawkman over the phone who causally lures Ray to come over to be killed. It gives you the feeling that no hero is safe in the story, which really raises the stakes for the readers.

From there we see more dead heroes rise, the death of another one and the corruption of two more of the undead: Deadman and Spectre. But something that I found even more interesting was the twist that one dead hero cannot be resurrected as a Black Lantern. I hope that plays out more in the future for I find that intriguing.

I should also point out, that I really dug Mera’s fight with her dead husband. Her character showed real strength and this could be the biggest defining moment ever for her in the comics (if she survives).

The last page will certainly bring me back next month and I find it almost scary how many of the satellite era J.L.A. are no longer among the living! If your not reading this series, then you are not a true D.C. fan!
