Listening to it now. I totally agree so far on how odd that All-Star Western is not only awesome, but has me giving a shit about Jonah Hex. The same goes for Swamp Thing. The end of the last issue would have been awesome only because he finally turned into Swamp Thing, but then when you see his "new abilities" and it blew my mind.

Scott Snyder has been easily been the best writer of the past year. I've been enjoying more of his stuff than even Geoff Johns; and this is coming from a Geoff Johns fanboy. The Court of Owls storyline really is shaping up to be the best Batman story of the past decade.

After reading Green Lantern this week I think Blackest Night did happen; I'm just not sure how because they're finally doing the Indigo Tribe story they started in the last issue of Blackest Night. Now does that mean all those Black Lanterns died in the time between the start of the new 52 and where Blackest Night would fall into GL's timeline? I have no idea.

Also weren't Jay Garrick, Alan Scott and other JSA members also from Earth-2 in pre New 52 DCU? I'm not entirely sure because I'm pretty sure they were post Crisis on Infinite Earths, but I'm not sure after Infinite Crisis.

*As per Iceman in the do-rag I think Link is right. Was it during Humberto Ramos' run around X-Men 200? I think it was his normal form, not his ice form. I could be wrong though.

Goddamn, that's one ugly shoot of Kilmer.
