Big week this week– the end of 52, the wrapup of Wonder Man, Buffy #3… what else?
We want to hear from you, argue back and forth the way we’re supposed to. Kick it off in the comments section, and let’s see what worked and what didn’t.

And easy on the spoilers, please.I'll start: Worlds lived, worlds died, and the DC Universe is the same as it ever was– except now Ralph and Sue Dibny are looking for Leo G. Carroll. Discuss.
Hell yes! What a quick cut to some action. As Octavious continues to have every door shut in his face… the start to it all shows up again. Kudos Mark, on the pacing here.
Thanks. I was beginning to think readers were preferring to see nothing but slamming doors. Y'know – a lot hinges on that!
Ugh. A pun? A pun? Sorry Mark. I'm out.
I know – you're just not willing to open that door – - -
I just noticed that the narration balloons (the bulletins) are actually shaped liked bullets! A visual pun. Funny.An exiting episode. I just don't believe that is Scion getting all blowed up. This leads to me to think that Scion is either a committee of men ( and there is more than one Scion) or Scion is one man who has many men, including some powerful and influential men, in his thrall (and this blowed up guy was just a pawn, a dupe). I'm guessing that when Octavius or LJ pulls the dead or dying Scion out from the wreckage, he'll be someone we recognize! Looking forward to finding out tomorrow.
