Loved it. Yeah, Marvel’s already doing the “dark” thing really well with Dark Avengers (which I also love) but I’ve long been a DC fanboy and it was really neat to see continuity geek Geoff Johns throwing out all these callbacks to the dead heroes and going all Marvel Zombies on us. And unlike Final Crisis, it’s actually got an interesting concept that can be summed up in one sentence and doesn’t need a year of backstory to understand what the fuck is going on. Although I hadn’t heard of Aquaman’s death but I’m assuming he’ll be back sooner or later.
But c’mon, evil dead versions of Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Elongated Man and another former JL member (I’ll avoid spoilers) taking on the Flash and Green Lantern and the Corps? That’s pretty awesome.
Thumbs up.
