Not this years-later alternate-history version, but the original Kal-L, who was given a great ride-off into the sunset at the end of Crisis on Infinite Earths, then brought back for this last crisis and ... bare-knuckle beaten to death by a homicidal teenager. No point, no final sacrifice, no redemption - just some punk pummelling grandpa. Shameful.<BR/><BR/>Still, I agree whole-heartedly with the review - lil' Elmo is right: 'loving curation of the characters' past' is the key.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647399315827596767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-330613451419825697.post-85712106495536148982007-11-08T09:16:00.000-05:002007-11-08T09:16:00.000-05:00And we've yet to receive an ongoing title that chr...And we've yet to receive an ongoing title that chronicles all the bullshit to be expected of running a superhuman prison in an alternate dimension... oh wait, what problems could there possible be?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-330613451419825697.post-29511468819914809122007-11-07T13:57:00.000-05:002007-11-07T13:57:00.000-05:00In DC, they get the great idea of putting the gula...In DC, they get the great idea of putting the gulag in the middle of the fricking USA.
