I just read this issue.
(Page numbers are ignoring the ads)
Pages 2-3: Excellent splash page with a vage Richard Corben feel to it. The Flash looks murderous.
Page 5: I find it funny how Kyle is STILL required to act like a rookie.
Pages 10-11: Fuck! And after James Robinson did all that work to keep him alive in that one issue of Starman. I always liked Firestorm.
Page 19: Who gave Jack Drake the gun? Someone wanted to get rid of Boomerang, it seems.
Page 20: I fail to see the point of this scene, other than to remind us of this subplot.
Page 24: I love Batman's reaction. "Not again..."
Page 25-28: My heart was thumping like loan sharks at a deadbeat's motel door. This is the most suspenseful scene I've ever read in a comic.
Conclusion: This is good comics. In my opinion, comics have it the hardest to convey things like emotion and move a reader, because we KNOW what's going on isn't real. It's all pen and ink, whereas a film contains real people acting. For a comic book to actually outdo a film (its more successful brother) in having an effect on me says quite a lot about the artform.
