holliThis comic done et my brain.
There's an Amazo in this somewhere, dammit. I just wish i had a better handle on JLA continuity-- I know it's an android that can mimic powers, but I don't know *whose* powers, or if there's more than one of the thing, and that's important. Because it was mentioned in the opening stakeout scene way back in #1, and I can't help but think that's important. If something's out there that can mimic both hero and villain, that'd account for the wide variety of MOs that we're seeing. But someone's still pulling the strings-- someone sent the notes, someone burned Sue. Someone has a vested interest in making Ray take the fall, which is interesting. The two heros who were public, whose wives were public, were Ralph and Ray, and some's trying to destroy both of them. Even though they were two who never really made a lot of enemies. And this issue was called "Husbands and Wives."
In other news, OMG TIMMY NOOOOES. Poor, poor baby, and honestly I found his frantic stripping of the costume and attampt to prise out the boomerang even more affecting than that gut-wrenching page of "Batman and Robin. Orphans." He just-- with the peeling off the mask and the clutching the tunic and the OH NOOOOES. Why must my Robins be sad?
And one tiny, shallow nitpick: Connor Hawke is apparently going to Guy Gardner's barber. STOP IT, Guy Gardner's barber.
