Undead Superman..awesome!

Hmmm... I recongize most of the people in the full page spread, except for one wearing the odd armour. He's between Starling and Black Canary. Anyone recongize that person?

Anyhow, looks good. Interesting how Barbara's ears are rather... pointy.

Man, I can't wait for ROTWORLD to be over. Like Batwoman, these arcs are lasting too long. Need new stuff.

Black Spider of the Suicide Squad.

I got moist when I read 'racing toward its epic conclusion' and then I realised that 'racing' meant waiting another 3 months for it to be over. Ugh.

This event just feels like an eternity.

Dang . . . now I've got those awful Calvin Klein perfume commercials running through my brain!

That was an awesome issue. Finally plot progression and things from prior issues come full circle. I am pleased to see that the bio restorative formula made a second appearance and once again played a crucial: pumping Swampy with more green so no more excuses for him getting ass kicked!!! Paquette once again killed it in this issue again and it's shame that we won't get him to draw the finale. Also, the flow of this issue was somewhat weird. We never did see the resolution to the giant's attack on Arkham Asylum....we switched to Swampy travelling to Arcane's nest after that.

Speaking of Arcane, the very last page shocked me and got me worried about what exactly is Abby's current situation in the rotworld. Man, I hope a good resolution for her

Oh yeah, that last image was something else. Can't wait for the epic showdown next issue.

That was pretty funny. If it weren't so true, it would be even funnier. I am just reading these so I know what happens when the book goes onto the next story.

Love the cover. Nice homage to Swamp Thing's first appearance in House of Secrets. The Rotworld event just won't end. Characters have died and come back to life so many times in the past 16 issues that I just don't really care anymore. Seeing Abby's severed head had no shock value at all.

We can all agree that the 'past' will resolve with Abby killing Arcane and becoming the full Avatar of Rot, and the future revealing that Abby had created 'Rotworld', was the king/queen of Rotworld, all along, right?

Why?
