Shadowpact?

[K'Nort]

I thought Enchantress was distractingly out of character in this last issue. She was being helpful to teammates, for crying out loud. Male teammates!

But overall, I'm still enjoying the book. I have to admit I'd be pretty ambivalent if they cancelled it, but I'm getting my $3 worth in the meantime.

I have all 8 issues so far and have been enjoying it. The art is the only area that is below average, but I figure sinces its a new book with low circulation they took what they could get I guess. I really enjoyed issue 8 the origin of Ragman clothes. Never knew it. Thats what I am enjoying about this book and the Trials of Shazam. Its a new magical universe in DC and Shadowpact is right in the thick of it. I too would like to see more Enchantress;)

The first arc was poor, mostly because Willingham's art didn't fit right with the story, but each successive issue has been pretty solid, expanding the wider story while focusing on a single character. The problem I have with it is the inconsistant art. They need to find a strong fulltime penicller, and a reliable backup artist for gaps.

Shadowpact is starting to pick up nicely, slow start but finding it's voice. Quirky character but interesting ones. Detective Chimp being my favorite. When I first read Day of Vengence mini-series I wasn't sure I would like DC, but he has grown on me. Looking forward to his one-shot in Jan.

Also the series is about to have Demon appear in a three-parter where new members will be joining.

DC seems to be pushing the series. They had a short story in the Holiday Special and also appeared in the issue of Checkmate. I recall them making appearance somewhere else but I can't recall what series it was.

OYL they were stuck in a zit. Literally. That's all anyone needs to know.

Her personality has been totally retconned. I have no idea how she's supposed to act anymore. (Other than she loses in when she uses her powers too much)

I thought he got Nightshade wrong in the mini, but she's been more like herself in the regular series. (I don't know if I like her basically being a Green Lantern type character though)

This series is solidly middle tier for me. I am intrigued by the current storyline. I wouldn't go out of my way to hunt for the back issues though--well chances are they won't be hard to find, so why not...

I wish Enchantress would go back to wearing the pointy hat.

Other than that, I think the book is starting to pick up steam.

I soooooooooo agree! BRING BACK THE POINTY HAT!!!!!!!!

How could Shadowpact appear in 52 if they spent the year in the blood sphere?

Best not to ask questions ;)

How could Shadowpact appear in 52 if they spent the year in the blood sphere?

I just figured that they didn't go into the Blood sphere until later that month or the next and THEN spent a year in it, it's not like the current DCU is narrowed down to a specific month like 52

You could do worse for a fun DC team book....(see Justice League).

I'm just wondering how Valda the Iron Maiden got transported to our time from the Carolingian Age, and will she join the pact?

[rerun]

Think it's a fun read. Big fan of Ragman now. The beginning was OK but seems to have found its voice (as someone else said). I think it'll be getting much better.

I think Willingham's writing is still a bit inconsistant. There are great issues and there are super terrible issues. But his characters have real charm. Each time he's devoted an entire issue to developing a single character, it's been completely worth it. Blue Devil, Ragman, and even Detective Chimp stand out to me as very real and highly quirky one of a kind characters. You can't mistake them for any other dime-a-dozen hero out there. Willingham still needs to develop the rest of the team a bit better (and he's taking an awfully long time to do it), but the title has real promise. Oh, and I love the idea of the bar. Don't know if that was Willingham's creation or not, but it's quite charming.

I think the real problem with this title was that Willingham chose the wrong arc to start with. It was boring, anti-climactic, full of continuity glitches, and did nothing to establish the characters, but once we got beyond that first arc, things began improving tremendously.

[Jack Zodiac]

Y'know... I don't know about the bar. If it was Willingham's idea, then kudos to him, because it's been used pretty fairly by at least three other writers in three other titles. If it wasn't his idea, I'd bet money on it being one of the many ideas Morrison threw at editorial.

I dont like detective chimp's new outfit.
but everything else about it is nice
