Looking really, really good. I like how Shade's appearance seems to be a melding of his Vertigo and Ditko looks, using the M-Vest and the trenchcoat. Hopefully we get a nice and evil Enchantress out of this. She was always a much better threat than a hero.

Looks really good but....*sigh* can't George Perez finish any full issues in a month anymore?

The Perez artwork looks great. Not sure how I feel about Milligan. I'm a big fan of his older work but he hasn't done a great story in a while.

Still, I love Rac Shade and I love 'weird' teams so this is getting pulled.

George's health has been declining for years now--including his vision. I'm afraid those glory days of the 80s and 90s when he would rapidly crank out pages are long, long gone. I hope he's taking better care of his health so he can be around a long time, but it's pretty unlikely he'll ever be fast enough to do a monthly book (even mini-series) ever again.

Not a lot really happening there, but I like what I see well enough. I was on board for this series from the beginning, I'm hoping to see some real weirdness here. Still my most anticipated book of the entire Flashpoint line.

I loved the shout-out to Shadowpact in the Enchantress scene! Always nice to have more Shade as well. Can't wait for this.

Always a pleasure to see George Perez at work. He, and the off-beat subject nature (and cast) of this mini, are one of the main highlights of FLASHPOINT for me.

[El Sombrero]

This looks very good. I was really anticipating this series so I'm happy to say it looks real solid from the preview. I'm so excited to see all these characters interact with each other. I hope Koblish can do a good enough job to minimize the art transitions.

Looks great.

What is he suffering from? I mean, he is only 56-57 years old, right? Still it such a same when artists get injuries/get sick. Frank Quitely is apparently suffering from sciatica.
