I saw. And I noticed the Arkham parallels...
After rereading it for the umpteenth time, I finally put my finger on what really made this issue for me: the coloring. Particularly, the muted tones of the Earth scenes juxtaposed with the bright coloring of Adam's recollections of Rann. Don't know why, that just really struck me as completely apropos of the situation; He's a man of two worlds, but is happiest on his adopted home.
edit-- RANN, not Ranz. Must have Ayla on the brain...

Just read #2. Great stuff, but I'd hoped the story would've moved a bit further by now.
The aerial combat stuff was really impressive though visually and for showing how smart Strange is.

I read my issue today..I have to agree the aerial combat was great. I am still very impressed with the colors and art of this book. Dare I say..out of this world.

Read # 1 & 2 last night; pretty good-- I'm here for the duration.
I thought it a LITTLE derelict of the JLA that they would allow Adam to sink so low as he did-- I mean, this guy has been an ally of theirs for a long time. I guess it shows just where Adam Strange really stands with the JLA.
I was horrified to learn of Rann's fate... and to be honest, I'm *still* not holding out much hope. That's what they want us to do.

Wowsa! Some faboo Thanagar scenes in #3! Can't wait to see Pasqual's renditions of the Omega Men next issue.

Adam: "CLOTHES... or would you prefer me to walk around your ship naked?"
Wing Commander Valkyr: "Now there's a question."
I hope she's around for the rest of this series! She looks like Hawkgirl and Batman had a daughter... with a touch of the "Battle of the Planets" baddie (Zoltar?) thrown in for good measure... Very visually striking character.
Intriguing story, beautiful art... I really hope DC picks this up for an ongoing.
