Overall : This collection puts together a series of stories that are all pretty good but not great. The narrative in each arc is compelling and there are a few solid moments here and there. However, each arc also has flaws that slightly weaken them. This makes this volume easier to recommend for serious fans of Superman, Traci 13, or but harder to recommend to fans just looking for good comics. Flashpoint: The World of Flashpoint Featuring Superman collects a series of pretty average story arcs. However, it also does Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman have stories that are downright bad or that are completely uninteresting. In fact, if you truly care about the main character of a story, there are often moments that are truly interesting or exciting. In this way, the collection will most directly appeal to fans of the characters this volume focuses on, including Superman, Traci 13, or Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman Gold. The story is sweet, meaningful, and easily the most compelling story of this collection. The only problem is that the connection between Superman and is a bit weird and leads to a conclusion that even the text admits is corny. The next story arc, written by Rex Ogle, follows Traci 13 as she tries to prevent her father from killing millions of people in order to bring an end to the war between and the Amazons. It is an emotional battle between father and daughter that touches on interesting topics regarding the efficacy of war and the viability of overwhelming force. For the most part, this tie-in is successful. Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman, The World of Flashpoint Fea turing Superman tells a quick story about the origins of a character briefly seen in the main Flashpoint event. The origin story is moderately interesting and slightly expands the overall narrative of this event.

They look great and are laid out in a way that reflects the tone of the reading experience, shifting from more structured to more chaotic layouts depending on the nature of the story. In general, the artwork in this volume is pleasing and helps enhance the Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman experience.

I mean, you still kind of need to read that one to understand what's happened in the FP Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman, but I thought the writing was just more interesting for Superman's story. Traci 13 was not a character I was familiar with, but I ended up being really interested in those issues! Would love to read more about her, if anyone knows where I can find something?

Booster and I love Booster had a somewhat duller storyline than I thought he would, but it was still fun to see him show up for this. I'm just going to let this one hang there Overall, pretty good volume if you are interested in the Flashpoint stuff. View all 11 comments.

I wasn't expecting much from this volume, but the Superman story was quite innovative, with a narrative angle I wasn't expecting at all. It's really kind of a scary what if about Superman's origins. He is not the man Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman know but that doesn't mean he doesn't come into his own as much as he's able. I liked the theme of villainy not necessarily starting from a place of pure evil or self-interest. To my mind, some of the worst villains are true believers or fundamentalists. Their intense belief in t I wasn't expecting much from this volume, but the Superman story was quite innovative, with a narrative angle I wasn't expecting at all. Their intense Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman in their cause can lead to committing atrocious acts in the course of the mission. In this case, it makes for a disturbing story. I really loved Lois Lane. Normally, I'm not a fan, but the Flashpoint situation seems to bring out the best in her character. The Booster Gold story was interesting, and I think it shows him as heroic in ways I haven't previously encountered. In other words, he doesn't come off as inept and fixated Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman looking heroic. He has to deal with well-meaning military who decide to harness Doomsday as a weapon, but fail Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman realize that he cannot be controlled. It wasn't the strongest volume here, but it was pretty good. Traci 13 is not a character I'm familiar with, but this story was very good. Traci finds herself in an adversarial relationship with her father, who both want to save the world, but in vastly different ways. Very intense look at how grief can tear a family apart. Closest to horror in this volume out of the stories. A bunch of antiheroes have become guerilla warriors for the cause of England, including Cantubury Cricket, who has a very checkered past. I liked it, but it ended a bit too abruptly for my tastes. Overall a very good volume of this series. Sep 25, Jesse A rated it really liked it Shelves: the-keeping-stackgraphic-novels. A much better Flashpoint companion book. Well done. Even has a solid Booster Gold story so bonus half star. Mar 05, John Yelverton rated it did not like it. An absolutely awful and pathetic excuse for a Superman story. Jul 17, Gary Butler rated it really liked it Shelves: graphic-novels. Number out of on my all time book list. Very cool. Project Superman - 3. Booster Gold - 2. The Canterbury Cricket - 1. Completely unnecessary. Average Rating - 2. Apr 24, Chris Lemmerman rated it it was ok Shelves: comics-and-manga-read. The plot doesn't focus on Superman at all until the final issue, instead having the Flashpoint version of Apollo as the point of view character, and whilst it does fill in some gaps in the main Flashpoint series like where Superman flies off to once he escapes from Project: Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman, it really isn't that rivetting a story. Add to that some very messy art from the usually infallable Gene Ha, and this just didn't hit many good notes with me. Shame, since Snyder is usually very reliable. World of Flashpoint, by Rex Ogle and Eduardo Francisco is next and thankfully it turns out a better story than the previous mini-series. Focusing on Traci as she travels around the world in order to try and stop her father from destroying million people, this mini-series is a great glimpse at a few fan favourite characters and gives a more rounded view of the Flashpoint world as a whole. FLASHPOINT: THE WORLD OF FLASHPOINT FEATURING SUPERMAN | DC

Is it me or do these Flashpoint collections seem pretty random? Why isn't the Cricket in the same collection as his own team Lois Lane and the Resistance Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman example? Yeah, to me it would have made more sense to collect Lois Lane and the Resistance in this volume instead of the Wonder Woman one, even though it was written by the DnA duo and the Amazons figure heavily in it. I'd switch it with the World of Flashpoint mini. My interp was that Booster jumps back to the last pages of "Time Masters" right before he and Rip find the board Alex wrote. Agreed, though, that a lot of these minis end up signifying nothing, or at least very little. Booster jumps back to Vanishing Point in a tattered costume and no one's around, and then we see a pre-Time Masters scene from Alex's perspective -- but I read it as two unrelated scenes, one in the "present" and one a flashback to an earlier scene. Either way, if you like time paradoxes, it makes for interesting thinking -- does Booster escape the Flashpoint universe and return to the old DC Universe, whereas is thrust forward from Flashpoint to the DC New 52? Supposedly the old DC Universe no longer exists replaced by Flashpoint and then by the DC New 52but if indeed Booster went back to "our" universe, that would contradict the "replacement theory. As for contents, and Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman Seven are unusual inclusions in the book, too. I think Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman probably ended up in the Superman book just because the Booster story was five issues; Batman and Wonder Woman each have four sets of three-issue miniseries 12 issues ; whatever book has Booster needs a one-shot to balance it out. Putting Lois Lane in the Superman book is a good suggestion, though so far these books have started with the story of their title character -- so, the Superman book would have been Project Superman and then Lois Lane -- and that's Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman wrong way to read those stories; Lois should be read before Project Superman. So in a way having Lois in the Wonder Woman book is better, because then you can just read the whole Wonder Woman book before the Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman Superman book. Looks like another pass for me. On the positive side the low quality of these series makes it easier on the Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman. I think the issue is more that most of these "don't matter" than that they're low quality; I've yet to read one that I thought was embarrassingly bad, at least. There are many great comics that "don't matter" in the grand scheme of things. The stories don't even have to be embarrassingly bad for me to take a pass. By Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman quality I just mean average. It seems these collections are just average at best. Add that to the fact that they now don't have much impact on the overall continuity of the DCU and they become pretty skipable. Gene Ha's art is great. I didn't care much for the rest. I think I also gotta say the Project Superman mini was really good, or at least I liked it. I loved the art, and I feel like it had the only version of Sam Lane I have ever seen that didn't give me a headache. I also enjoyed the Superman mini. It's also one of those stories that, as CE says, gives a better explanation for the character's actions in the main Flashpoint series. I was kind of hoping for more with the Booster Gold issues, featuring Booster as the "only other person" who remembered the old DCU in the Flashpoint universe, but it was certainly consistent with the earlier Flashpoint: World of Flashpoint Superman in Booster's series, where he re-visited numerous DCU events like Zero Hour and One Million but wasn't directly involved in the outcomes of those. Did Alexandra ever show up in ? I know that ends up in the JLI, but she certainly doesn't match the dark haired girl on the original cover image. Not that I know of yet. The only real indication I've seen of Flashpoint "happening," aside from and Batman's conversation at the end and Pandora's general presence, is a little bit in Vol. Email This BlogThis!
