Great episode to cover another interesting issue. And Shag too!
A couple of things. This issue is where knowing the whole series makes me look at this issue differently. Kid Psycho and Nighthawk’s deaths have more gravitas and sheer panel coverage than Wonder Woman’s death in COIE #12. This is why I wonder about pacing in this book. I suppose the first 4 issues are a simmering pot about to boil over.
I also think the deaths we saw in this issue are relatively minor. DC said ‘characters will die’ and then they give us this issue. I doubt people remembered reserve Legionnaire Kid Psycho (yes he existed before the series) or Nighthawk. Was this just the appetizer for the bigger deaths coming up. Because if it was only D-listers who ‘died’ in the book, readers might have felt cheated.
And then some comments on the discussions.
Earth-8: I think I would just do straight up Matrix for Supergirl. Fallen Angel (at least the DC series of the character) hinted strongly that Lee (the fallen angel) was Linda Danvers. Given the religious overtones of the SG series, you could definitely read FA as a continuation of the character without blinking an eye.
It was Fury from Infinity Inc who became the mother of the next Dream in Sandman, not Dove. (Both sported silver hair at the time so I can see the confusion.) Poor Dove died as the sacrificial lamb in Armageddon 2001 when Hawk was turned into Monarch. She came back in Blackest Night as a zombie and ultimately was resurrected in Brightest Day.
I do care about Harbinger more than I should. It most likely is because she is hot. There I admitted it.
