Finished the new comics this morning. I found
JLI
unreadable -- horrible expository dialogue and characters that seemed like parodies of themselves. I made it about halfway through.
Swamp Thing
I liked well enough, but it raised a question related to a point someone made up thread a ways about the convoluted timelines of the new books. (slight spoiler follows).
Superman seems to allude to having died and returned -- just as Alec Holland has. This means that sometime between the events of
Action
1 and
Swamp Thing
1, there probably is a death of Superman event. It seems to me that DC is needlessly tying itself in potential continuity knots with these fractured timelines. It would have made far more sense (to me at least) for them to take the approach that Marvel did with its Ultimate books and simply tell the stories new. Why re-run the Death of Superman, especially when everyone already knows the outcome? And, even more to the point, why make what is bound to be a big story, something that has already happened "in the past?"
