Read Legends Reborn last night. Didnāt care for The Question or Raven stories. The other two were entertaining though. City Boy introduces an intriguing new anti-hero-ish character in Gotham with a pet that is made of, I donāt know, garbage brought to life by Lazarus rain? In any case, I look forward to both their appearances going forward. My favorite though was the Firestorm story. It was just traditional comic book fun. The artwork was great and so was the action. I didnāt know though that Ronnie can combine with anyone like that willie nillie to create Firestorm?
Ok issue overall; my least favorite of the LP books so far. A 6/10.
Iām expecting it to be my favorite story, as I loves me some Firestormā¦who is really rather overdue for a new ongoing. Maybe heāll get a new solo mag as Dawn of DC unfolds?
They werenāt ignored, as the dog I donāt (and wonāt ever) have ate them. I kid, I kid.
Score! Pizza is, in fact, the breakfast of champions. I thank you, good sir.

Looks like they decided not to do the Firestorm and Harley Quinn story so that was the reason why they removed Harley Quinn from the cover and replaced her with Gar Logan.
I did not ask my shop owner particulars. I will say, I am personally biased against the event, because as far as I can tell, itās a lot of 10 page teaser non-stories advertising stories that are happening later. So itās commercials DC is expecting us to pay a lot of money for.
As Ernie Hudson said in 1995ās best gorilla-themed movie that opened in theaters one week before Batman Forever, āArenāt we all?ā
Sure, my new single issue buying has dramatically dropped since Ultra debuted. However, I do still buy two current titles from Yon Comic Shoppe, to say nothing of the back issues I yoink on occasion.
I feel like Iāve drank the cool-aid a bit with DC lately. I havenāt been this excited about the comics since I jumped on in 2011.
Ultra has made the monthly habit more fun for me. I still subscribe digitally to Superman related stuff and whatever event they have going on. The savings allow me to indulge in a small, physical collection of Superman comics, variants included.
Something about this relaunch feels fresh to me. Iām actually interested in (digitally) picking up books like Green Arrow, Cyborg, and Titans as their #1s drop.
The current focus on Superman is a breath of fresh air for this fan. I know the Batman stuff is inevitably coming, and I love Batman, but it feels like interest in Supes is more palatable now than itās been in a while.
Just read Dark Fates. There was 1 short that I really liked with the Doom Patrol. It has me interested in checking out their series coming out next month, thanks in no small part to Chris Burnhamās art. Spirit World was ok; the depiction of the spirit world at the end has me intrigued enough to check it out on Ultra. The other two shorts, featuring Huntress and Circuit Breaker, I didnāt care for much (I had no idea what the heck was happening in the latter).
I feel like the event started strong out the gate, but got weaker with every passing one-shot. I think @millernumber1 has a point regarding the lack of an overall narrative that ties all this together. Hope Lazarus Planet: Omega ends things on a high note next week.
