Thank goodness Meltzer is finally gone. While I totally enjoyed his Green Arrow run and Identity Crisis, his JLA run was terrible. The Red Tornado storyline was dreadful and his portion of Lightning Strikes was almost undecipherable. The finale was very lazy in that it concluded nothing. An echo of the first 6 issues of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman trading cards in a cave, we get Martian Manhunter and Aquaman in a cave looking in on the characters who are doing nothing... DC editorial really needs a coffee warmup for letting this get by... and it's not the classic Aquaman, dude. It's 'the other guy.'

@DrDoobious: He's coming back... Both in the Marauder's arc, and then in a big way during Messiah Complex. @Hyter: As you can probably tell, we really like Frank Espinosa's art a lot... If you have extra cash, I'd say pick it up just for that.

Is Killing Girl worth a week wait for my comic book shop to get it?

What happened to Gambit? He showed up for a few pages and totally kicked ass in the X-men 200 (or whatever it was) and now has totally disappeared

Killing Girl #1 looks good. To bad I missed it in a comic shop's shelf, damn.

Nice show again guys. I'll put in my two cents about story arc formats. I prefer the cross title mega events like civil war, where you see how your favorite titles are effected by this event, but anret required to buy titles you may not usually bother with. Reading New Avengers, Captain America, and Iron Man you got to see the event from multiple perspectives. and then you get a mini series main book that ties it all together. I think my favorite all-time event was the Death of Superman mega crossover, but the Knightfall crossover was great too. I really liked how they sequentially numbered the Knightfall books, cross title, so you could read them all in order. I'd like to see that done more often.
