I liked it. Glad to have Ravager having screen time again, as well as being one of the more prominent characters in the issue.
It seems like recent issues have just been showcasing where certain heroes are in this world, and it's definately interesting to see where the Amazons stand in the Markovian war.
As always, i'll be back next month to read what's written.

Well, the draft is over, so I won't need the pic after all. Though I might be back next time I participate in one.
Thanks anyway everybody.

Now that was a high-stakes issue. Learning more about the Fero Corporation, as well as the truth behind Dinah's meltdown, is interesting. Ollie's back-and-forth with Babs and Lois were great and the action is pretty good. I was actually terrified when Eddie got shot. I'm wondering who exactly the Gambler is (haven't come across him in the comics) and i'm aching to know how the Fero Crisis resolves.

So on another website, I've participated in a fantasy superhero team draft. All the charaters have already been chosen and now is the process of voting for which teams to include.
To promote my team, i've done two things. One, like many others participating in this fantasy draft, i've given my team a theme ("Things from Space"). And two, i'm hoping to get an image containing all my characters so as to make my team look cool.
If anyone would like to take up this challenge/favor, it would be greatly appreciated. The characters on my team are as follows:
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) Silver Surfer Mr. Miracle (Scott Free) The Gauntlet (From Avengers: The Initiative) Luke Skywalker
Post here if you're interested. Thanks.

Will there be any new New Outsiders members after this crossover? Correction: New NEW New Outsiders. Frankly, this story was not the best. After Reddie's return, there seem to be too many "quiet" issues until the Ferro Crisis comes to fruition. This isn't to say the issue wasn't good. Dinah's meltdown is foreboding and very well written. Plastic Man, 00-agent was a fun read. His banter with Reddie was also funny and kinda sweet in it's own way. Kate's story continues to be dramatic throughout the this series. It almost brought tears to my eyes when she finally found Ramsey. Her personal drama is probably some of the best work i've read and I hope against hope it comes to a happy ending. Again, this issue wasn't top of the line, but it was still a good read. -UDC

A fairly quiet issue. It's good to see what's going on our favorite team's heads. Kate's personal drama is still going strong (Unfortunately for her) and is still extremely well written.
Helena's problems are kicking off and her struggle with her mother is a great way to show this. Her difficulty confessing her father's crimes make sense and are powerfully written.
I missed the latest Batman arc, so I didn't get what actually happened to Bruce, but Babs "date" was both awkward and sweet (and then tragic).
Finally, we come to DC's hottest couple, Ollie and Dinah. The fact that they know each other well enough to drive each other crazy makes their relationship worth reading for it's unpredictability and plain fun.
And again with the Fero Corp. I swear, my Crisis sense is tingling like crazy! There have to be skrulls afoot here or something...
Never change this series ever. It's perfect exactly the way it is.

You see, this is why I love Elseworlds stories. ANYTHING can happen.
Another great installment. The Rogues union in reverse continue to be fascinating (Particularly, of course, Destabilizer). The introduction of the Markovian Metahumans (Hoping to see a better team name) opens up a floodgate of possibilities that I look forward to seeing develop.

I came into this issue with high expectations. As per usual, my expectations were met.
In the end, this issue looked like a giant fight scene (Which is cool). The highlight was the strange but sweet interection between Reddy and Babs. Dinah and Ollie was a good second, though. “Oh, by the way, I have a son named Connor that I forgot to tell you about and he’s staying with me in Star City now.” Priceless.
Looking forward to Reddy's return to Earth. Keep up the amazing work.

Welcome back, Titans. Welcome back.
I like this issue. It's a nice start to the story and an interesting look at Keystone in reverse. I also have to appreciate the writer, not just for mentioning my favorite archer but for being a fan of the Venture Bros.
Keep up the good work.

The interaction between Ollie and Connor is nice, but I think I prefer Connor and Mia. The pair are two ends of the same spectrum and their conversation, for however breif it was, was fun.
This issue was a nice break after the "Chasing Mia" story. Connor coming into his full role as a hero is nice to see and the ending is an appropriate time to show when Ollie got the call back to Vegas. Good stuff. I'm wondering where this will lead to.

So Reddy had the jaws of life the whole time. Who'da thunk it?
Another great installment. The duality of the characters was interesting, and not just Babs/Reddy. Kate's struggle with her personal and "professional" life is very well written and I'm looking forward to how it develops.
Grace got screen time. Do more of that.
And Fero Industries is buying up the DC2 Corporateverse. Is it just me or do I smell a crisis coming on?
A fun, if not a bit awkward, issue. Keep it up.

Good stuffs. The Ragdoll and Hourman bit was brilliant, as well as the entirety of the superhero fight. Ted came back to life (What a tweest?) and is still dealing with the whole daughter issue, which is interesting. Obsidian may be turning evil, which is always a blast. And, of course, Gentleman Ghost and Black Adam is action is never a bad thing. Wonderful, wonderful stuff. Keep it up. -UDC Glad you liked it UDC! See ya in 30 for more of the same! Oh, and some Nazis. Do the Nazis get beat up? Because I like it when Nazis get beat up.

Now THAT'S a kickoff!
I love both the JSA and the IJSW, although they each have some serious rosters that I can't keep track of. Can you post a member list for each team, just for my convinience?
Anyway, back to the issue. I feel guilty that I enjoyed Ted's death so much, but dammit was it well done (if not a bit cliche and Star Wars-esque). I'm glad to see Hourman and Starman are going to join and happy to see some of my favorite old members like Obsidian, Jesse Quick and Alan Scott.
Good start. I'm looking forward to where this is going.

Huh. Interesting retelling of the story. Terry's involvement with gangs is a nice twist and it fits in well. However, I was looking forward to more interaction between Terry and Bruce. Although granted, that's bound to come up later in the series.
A nice familiar kick-off to a good series.

Wonderful stuff, as usual. Connor is starting to fit in with Team Arrow and Roy has great interaction with them. Ollie and Eddie still deserve their own sitcom and the Count is shaping up to be the villain we know and love. Keep it up.

I liked it. Kemel Asad is revealed to be the big bad guy and has alliances with everybody's favorite classic GA bad guy, the Count. Mia is caught in an interesting position and Connor apparently has superpowers, seeing as he was hit by a car and then fought bad guys in less than a day. Fun stuff. I wanna see where this is going.

Ollie and Eddie should have their own sitcom.
I liked this issue. It was mostly an advancement informationwise rather than plot, but it was still a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to the exciting conclusion of this story arc (No offense).

Finally got around to reading this and I enjoyed it. Ninja fights, special guest stars, flashbacks to Ollie's NO days and some decently witty banter. Looking forward to the next one.

Excellent, excellent stuff. After 'growing up' with Ollie in the New Outsiders, it's very interesting to see what our favorite billionaire archer will do when left to his own devices, and the results are very much fun.
So Roy seems to be going somewhere, I just seem to be the only one here who missed the subtle hint of what. However, i'm sure it'll be interesting.
Do more sutff like this! It's good!

An interesting character introduction. It seems like Man-Bat has a different origin, which could be a good or bad thing depending on how it's written. I have faith in the guys here, so it should be good. Looking forward to the next issue.

Interesting stuff. I never expected Booster Gold to cross over with the OMAC Project, but it's a nice twist. I'm glad to see some kind of Supergirl in DC2, but i'd prefer Kara Zor-El to Linda Danvers in Kara's costume. And just what is Scott's purpose in the grander scheme of things? Plus, where in the %$#@ is Rip Hunter?!
Good issue. I'm looking forward to the next.

Somehow I knew Ted was a fan of Robot Chicken. Somehow.
Anyway, I enjoyed this story because it jumps around a lot while keeping the main plotline important. It's very open and makes literally anything possible, but isn't too distracting from what the characters are focused on.
The plot is thickening, what with the disappearance of Skeets and the coming of Supernova. I gotta find out what's going here and am eagerly awaiting the next issue.

Question for the readers: Mark (our fearless EIC) and I were a little worried that this issue's last line (a quote from the time travel flick 'Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure') might be more confusing than be a funny 'easter-egg'. Has everyone got the quote so far or was it confusing? Now I feel bad. I love that movie and yet I didn't pick up on the reference until now. Ah well. Glad you included some joke involving a time-traveller named Ted. -UDC
