You wait years, happy that a Doomsday story doesn't come along, then two come along at once.<br /><br />Matt, thanks for laying out the blackboard business. I was a tad presumptious in thinking things were clear.<br /><br />Snell, fair point, but ever since the blackboard began hinting at things in DC's books I've never expected a proper, sensible explanation. I just took it as a tease thing, so to have an 'explanation' that semi-works, well, I'll take it!<br /><br />Martin, I'm off to check out your review.Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-78808601492270932812011-08-11T22:14:38.753+01:002011-08-11T22:14:38.753+01:00snell, I have to agree with you that I was a littl...snell, I have to agree with you that I was a little disappointed with this final issue.

That's just Doomsday porn. And having Booster just dilly dally around until showing up (finally) on the main stage 75 pages into an 80 page story and being completely ineffectual then was a pretty lame way to end a series.<br /><br />Plus, the bit with the blackboard at the end made no sense...snellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181997862745538999noreply@blogger.com
