Now? After this issue? I can't wait to read issue #7! Nobody went from... well, a nobody, to a major villain over the course of a few pages. So yeah, kudos to Tomasi for busting out a really good story here.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-49965270153802463792012-02-27T08:23:58.501-05:002012-02-27T08:23:58.501-05:00I've been disappointed with the last few issue...I've been disappointed with the last few issues of this series, but this issue ROCKED! I thought Tomasi did a brilliant job paralleling the rage Bruce felt towards Nobody in the flashback with the rage he felt in the present. It actually makes me believe Bruce could actually kill him (even though I know he won't), which just goes to show the excellent character work Tomasi does here. For the first time with this series, I can't wait for the next issue!JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384937330661711685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-43339237218384390232012-02-14T23:40:11.977-05:002012-02-14T23:40:11.977-05:00Exactly, B-Guymer.

It totally fits with his character, as he's always been trying to impress Bruce, even when he first came around and was killing criminals because he thought that was the best way to help Bruce. And the ending took Nobody and turned him from a villian-of-the-month type of guy and turned him into a character that I now REALLY want to see catch a beating from Bruce.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-44336246479545139862012-02-14T09:12:47.872-05:002012-02-14T09:12:47.872-05:00I'm really loving this series, its been a bit ...I'm really loving this series, its been a bit of a break-out star from the DC reboot for me. This issue especially as it highlights and fleshes out Damien's character brilliantly, showing that although he is a willing killer and tough, he's also a young, vulnerable boy who just wants his father's approval.B-Guymerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656720733938265849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-57762777875155472042012-02-13T22:51:52.832-05:002012-02-13T22:51:52.832-05:00Yeah, the Jason comparison was REALLY obvious here...Yeah, the Jason comparison was REALLY obvious here, JT. The cover for the next issue is even a play on it I think(or at least that's what I kind of recall seeing...). But I must say, this was a surprisingly good read! Way better than I'd have expected from a Monday comic.<br /><br />HA! I didn't even think about that until I glanced back at the review... I mean yeah, a line like "Nobody takes Damian to his hidden lair" doesn't make a whole lot of sense in retrospect...x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-191028001599118982012-02-13T22:19:32.303-05:002012-02-13T22:19:32.303-05:00you know the whole time i was reading this review ...you know the whole time i was reading this review i kept forgetting that nobody was an actual character so i kept reading sentences and having to stop for a minute each time to go over it until i remembered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-59248448083557674662012-02-13T21:21:55.166-05:002012-02-13T21:21:55.166-05:00The best part of the ending for me is the fact tha...The best part of the ending for me is the fact that it gave me flashbacks to Bruce racing to save Jason, but it also made me think of Bruce and Tim trying to get there in time to save Jack Drake, neither of which ended too well for the parties involved. Of course he WILL save Damian but the tension there was great.Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.com
