comics get more dramatic


I just finished reading DC comics' 52. It was like some of those dramas from the west with a not so great starting plot. The story ended with quite a bang. While mostly about good vs evil, I got my own conclusion - the heroes that serves justices did not do it fair and square. Justice was not served and was sidelined. I find that the victim, although is a villain - Black Adam, deserves justice against those that brought tragedy against his family, forcing him to kill and to destroy in order to force his enemies to confront him. It brought out the Justice Society who wanted to apprend him for those killings. These old gooders all wanted to bring Adam in for crimes but fail to bring in those that done crimes on Adam. They also fail to see to those that framed his family of the killing started by the Suicide Squad. Lastly, the whole community of Super beings failed to take out Black Adam. Justice is not longer sweet and it had in fact expired when oldies start to think they are still it when Superman and Batman went for vacation. After a clash of the super beings, Adam managed to slipped away. A loop that will lead to a new plot. My consolation - all those dramatic battles, Hal Jordan did not participate. I am glad he got left out. Reason is that many against one isn't honorable. Hal Jordan is the greatest Green Lantern and if he do join in, I am sure he would do the job better. Beside John and Guy, two other Green Lanterns got walopped with twenty or fifty other heroes. Hal got better things to do. Looking forward to see Black Adam coming back for vengence.
