Flashpoint: Legion of Doom Issue #3

Alright. Last week’s issue was stupid. I mean really stupid. The last issue in the series can not be as bad as that was right?

. . . right?

Well I for one want to get this over with. This is Legion of Doom issue 3.

Flashpoint: Legion of Doom Issue #2

Well, I now remember why I only looked at this series once. Issue #2 is a mess and really should have been a clearer warning to what Mr. Glass was going to write in the near future. But you’ll all see it soon enough. This is Legion of Doom Issue #2.

Flashpoint: Legion of Doom Issue #1

So. Flashpoint.

Last year DC had their ‘final’ story line for the current universe. This event was called Flashpoint. It was the story about what if Barry Allen did save his mom before she died and how the universe changes from that one event. And boy howdy did the DCU change from this one life. The main title, simply called Flashpoint, focused on Barry Allen and how he tries to put the universe back to normal. But since this was a brand new place, all the characters you knew have changed in big ways. DC, wanting to make people more invested in this new, temp universe, released quite a few miniseries. Most three issues long, some only one shots. And guess who, for better or worse, bought ALL of the issues.

Yeah. I got every comic that came out during Flashpoint. Some were good, but most of them were not. But that won’t stop me from looking at one of the miniseries. This week, I begin a 3 week look into the story of Legion of Doom.

Now I picked this series for a few reasons. The first is Adam Glass. Right now there is a legion of Harley Quinn fans who don’t like him, myself included. But this story was supposed to get us use to his writing. All this goes into my second reason. The second reason is that it has been a year since I read my Flashpoint books and I really didn’t remember much from any of the series. But I do remember if I liked them as a whole or if I did not. And I am happy to say that L.O.D. is very much a meh. I won’t go into much detail right now, since that is kinda the point of the review, but this story left little impact on me as a whole for the Flashpoint Universe.

But enough of that, toast some marshmallows and turn off your brain, this is Flashpoint: Legion of Doom Issue 1.
