's review

it was amazing
bookshelves: comic, great, wish-i-could-write-like-this

(1) Why is Green Lantern's custom design looks so much like Parallax's!? Did the artists run out of custom design or something!? LOL

(2) Well! It's mentioned that the daughter of Red Arrow and the mercenary Cheshire, has become Red Hood.

(3) I can't stress this enough but Alex Ross' artwork and the characters' design is so, so exquisite! Glorious! Amazing! You are welcome to take a look at the example of said artwork here.

(4) Plus the middle-age to old-age Justice League members are so damn badass!!!! *fangirl's screams*

(5) Not to mention the old Bruce Wayne/Batman is also a total badass too (though he is still a jerk). XD

(6) I didn't know Dick Grayson is the original Red Robin before, now I know!

I have certainly run into that phenomenon before. Sometimes it might be an Hommage but in other cases I think it is just laziness or lack of creativity.

I can partly understand it, after all Green Lantern (Hal) and Parallax are bascially the same person, and the whole Parallax saga took place in pretty much the same period of time.....so perhaps the artist 'borrowed' the custom for the Green-Lantern-in-his-old-age in this story. The artwork is still grand, so so so so grand!

Sometimes it might be an Hommage but in other cases I think it is just laziness or lack of creativity.

I see, I see.
