Sometimes it works like Bucky/Winter Soldier, but usually it doesn't. Sorry but I prefer Barbara Gordon in a wheelchair. Jor-El is a character I'd prefer dead. He works best as inspiration and motivation for Kal. Not only did Jurgens resurrect Jor-El, he seems to fundamentally change the character to have an anti-human slant. Maybe there's more here that will be revealed to change my mind, but as is I didn't like this. If it wasn't for the art I'd give this a big fat goose egg. It's a 4 for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695585071925321102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-69772939539540055662017-09-16T14:43:51.005-04:002017-09-16T14:43:51.005-04:00why would he wait this long to reveal himself? why would he wait this long to reveal himself?

Mr Oz never grew to be more than a dude in green cloak acting irrational. If this is Jor-El, then why make him so 1-dimensional? Have him talk like a normal person with his brother. Have him talk to Kara who is still his family. Even the dialog with his son is terrible.<br />Also I get that for the regular comics we pretend that there are no other heroes around, but during big events? Superman literally let those people die because the writer didn't want to involve the JLA or his cousin in the arc.<br />I expect the world to be coherent during an event like this. Acting like Superman is the only hero on earth is required for this arc to make any sense.<br />I could have maybe liked it in an Elseworld where Superman was alone (Mr Oz is still a pale villain though).<br />In the mainstream universe I think a 6 is more than it deserved.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-35716658077987912282017-09-14T09:10:27.177-04:002017-09-14T09:10:27.177-04:00Ya I'm w you there's not much reasoning be...Ya I'm w you there's not much reasoning behind who he kills and just takes ...

But he didn't kill Doomsday... Also Myxl doesn't really seem to fit in that same category, not to even mention that he took Tim Drake because he brought hope to the universe.<br /><br />This reads to me like Johns started writing Doomsday Clock and realized he wasn't going to be able to write Oz into it or he wouldn't get around to it anytime soon so he just said they can do whatever with it. Then this was just chosen out of nowhere because it doesn't fit at all with the older stuff we saw from Oz.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642047120265683668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-15134675578132630902017-09-13T21:24:25.383-04:002017-09-13T21:24:25.383-04:00I was able to avoid all Spoilers regarding this so...I was able to avoid all Spoilers regarding this so the surprise at the end was a nice little treat. I think some of OZ's actions have been fatherly, namely keeping most of Superman's big foes off the chessboard, and helping Jon ... but I def. agree on the whole minions of Oz thing really being throw at us out of nowhere. I really liked the art here too and Superman's dad looks like a wreck of a burn victim -1 for Eric there alone .... would have went a tad higher myself maybe a 7.<br /><br />Tough but fair Mr Shea, tough but fair.
