I saw. [Smile] 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... [Love] [Wink]

The art rocked!
I cant wait to see how this series turns out. I would love to see the current team bring Adam back to a monthly series.

I loved the first issue... Will have to wait for tomorrow to pick the second one..

Can't wait to see the Omega Men and the L.E.G.I.O.N in future issues!

Read my shop's preview copy of #2 today.

Still looking good, though I am starting to wonder if Diggle can wrap this up effectively while bringing in all these guest stars.

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.

I'll give both issues a solid 8 of 10 overall.

Looking forward to it.

Sales for #2 dipped a bit more than I would have liked. I'm hoping they'll pick up again.

Adam: "CLOTHES... or would you prefer me to walk around your ship naked?"

Wing Commander Valkyr: "Now there's a question." [LOL]

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. [Cool]

# 3 was good, but have the Thanagarians made it a habit of executing Earthmen at their whim? Where's Hawkwoman when you need her?

Adam looked GREAT this issue.

OMG-- am SOOOOO stoked for the OMEGA MEN appearance next issue! I miss those guys! What's LEFT of 'em, anyway...
