What a turn this issue takes. The story really ends here. It's smart for Remender to keep the story fresh by taking the story down a different path. That's the problem with Void Rivals, where it feels stale. I think this story is ending soon, but the characters are interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing where Rememder takes it.

Geuggenheim is doing a great job with this title. Where the other Star Wars titles continue to disappoint, this one shines. The story told in a series of flashbacks, with Dooku leading Jinn awry, is a great idea. We know that Jinn can't die, but I'm looking forward to seeing where this story goes nonetheless.

I still have no idea why this book exists when the story ended years ago. This issue was pretty disappointing. Rucka built up the battle between Btitner and Forever. INstead, we didn't get a battle at all. We get Sonja professing her love, and joining Forever's team. I wonder how long Rucka is going to draw this out to arrive at a second ending.

What an exciting issue. Forcing Duke and Cobra Commander together was a stroke of genius. It gives the story a nice twist. Destro making a power play also works. I was thinking that Clutch and Hound might show up, but that didn't happen. Instead, we got the reveal of the pig-guy, but I have no idea who that is. If anyone knows, please let me know.

Still the best Batman book out there. It remains a mystery why Bruce won't give the homeless kids some money. That seems out of character. Other than that, this is a good issue. I like Clark and Jon showing up and the story progression with the Ventriloquist. The Quiet Man is turning out to be a good villain.

I thought that was a pretty funny moment -- in the panel where he says "the name's Jake Lockley", his hand is just lowering from slapping on a fake mustache he's been keeping in his costume for just such a moment. I mean, Jake has a fake mustache, logically he has to.
