Team 7 #5 Discussion/Spoilers

[BohemiaDrinker]

I knew the guy who write Luther Strode was capable of better than what we got first four issues.

I liked the zero issue well enough, and then I heard "Eclipso". Jusrt knew it was going to go downhill from there. There hsn't been anything remotely good with Eclipso for years now, even when good writers are handling the story. :\

@Justin_Jordan
It was my favorite issue, truth be told. Thanks!

Yeah, I think it was Hank Henshaw. A "Dr. Stone" is also mentioned, which could only be Cyborg's dad so, aparently, all Cyborgs in DCNU (Henshaw and Ladytron directly, Cyborg indirectly) come from the technology of the Spartan.

Nice to see that Hank Henshaw exists. I guess he has a new origin? I'm sure it's still tied to Superman, but hopefully without that "my mind went into the computer" nonsense.

I'd much rather have become the Cyborg due to his own technology, when Superman died. You can keep the radiation origin, just have him resorting to Majestic technology to restore his body.

That was freaking great! This is the type of story I was hoping for from this title. Tying together some of the origins of the New 52 characters to create a more cohesive universe. So much cool stuff in this issue. Caitlin the intern, Ladytron, freaking Hank 'Cyborg Superman' Hensaw! I love how Spartan is instantly made important to the advanced cybernetics of the DCU. Can't wait for him and Cyborg to meet in the "modern day". Even more pissed off that this title is cancelled now.

Can't wait to see how Majestic looks like and how powerful he is next issue.

Can't wait to see whatever happened to Spartan in the present day and his connection to Cyborg.

Can't wait to see how the Team 7 members are in the present day as Deathstroke will be going after them one by one.

A lot of interesting things are setup in this issue. I love it.

And yeah.. Pascal Alixe draws a HOT Dinah.

[Robotman4]

I'm taking a guess and saying Majestic the character isn't going to show up. It was Spartan's hand we saw at the end and Lynch was refering to the Majestic project.

Yeah, this issue was fantastic. This is how the series should have been from the start. Now I'm more annoyed it was hindered by that Black Diamond mess DC never felt like acknowledging.

[Ood Omega]

The art is looking better now that the series is cancelled they're gonna go all out in the last story arc. Hmm does that hand coming out of the water belong to Mister Majestic or Spartan? Can't wait to find out.

[El Sombrero]

I was thinking, wasn't Steve Trevor supposed to be in this series? What happened to that?

I was thinking, wasn't Steve Trevor supposed to be in this series? What happened to that?

Cancelation came too early, maybe? I hadn't think about that till now, but maybe this title is being re-purposed as something else.

[JimmyOlsenMustDie]

Best issue yet. Alixe's art is what this series needed from the beginning, really. I loved how we got to focus on a small cast of characters - and how'd Lynch get powers? I'm curious to see where this goes . . . just in time for cancellation :)

If you think about it, though, cancellation was probably always hanging over this book even prior to #0. The premise was limited because we knew Team 7 was going to break up. We just didn't know how long it was going to take. Apparently not very long.

I think this is another case of "DC disguising a mini as an ongoing." If it had sold like hotcakes, that'd be one thing. But it didn't.

[DarkKnghtJared]

I didn't hate the Eclipso stuff, but I do agree that this is definitely a better story than it. I like how they're mixing in all the Wildstorm and DC stuff, like having Caitlin intern for Hank Henshaw, and Cyborg being related in parts to Spartan.
