End League #3

I'm obvously a bit behind here, but I just read it. Personally I'm loving the title at the moment, and they handled the issue well after the shocker in issue 2. They didn't advance anything too far, and they seemed to do a good job on passing the torch over to the Batman/Captain America type guy asthe main character.

That said, is anyone else having trouble remembering all the names? It's not like we've seen these characters before, so it's a lot to be thrown at us all at once. The first names are getting lost in translation with me, big time.

Yeah, I've got the same problem with the book, though I'm still loving it. It doesn't help that sometimes people alternatingly refer to characters by their first name, super-hero identity, or some shortened version of either. I always read the last issue of a book immediately before the newest issue, but for at least the first story arc of this series, I think I might need to re-read every issue before the next one.

I think it's the writers objective to confuse us. If you read up on Remender's idea behind the book, he wants to create a world where there is no hope, no escape. It can only get worse, not the book but the situation. I think we are given enough to become attached to the characters so to give us an emotional value instead of a name. This makes it more interesting when we lose a character.


Thats my take on it.
