Yes and no. I'm sorry they had to go, but I thought that they were handled well --- very nobly. > i certainly was... first off, since when does superman, " the greatest > hero of them all", not even get in a shot??? he spent his whole time > on his back.... blah... Well, he *was* taken by surprise by the Anti-Monitor, who is evidently as powerful as Supes. Supergirl, on the other hand, saw the whole thing and thus was prepared for her fight with the A-M. > and then the fight itself with supergirl > was pretty blase.... Humph. *I* thought it was *extremely* well done. Not at all blase'. > and flash??? argh... good hero gets the shaft... he dies, and all he does > is tick the monitor off... doesn't even hurt him... and nobody even knows > he died.... what a waste.... True, I suppose, but those things happen. Some folks *do* wind up MIA. I suppose that I may be somewhat biased in that I never was that fond of the Flash as a character, but I felt it added a bit of realism to the story that he die in a noble fashion without any else knowing what happened to him. > oh, and the latest ff cop-out... marvel age builds up a big thing about > 284 being invisible girls last issue, then she changes her name... > whoop de do.... So who (besides Paul Simmington) was taken in by this? This sort of misdir- ection is old hat in the comics biz. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Acton-Nagog, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA
