<p>Okay! As we were left with last issue, Doomsday is no longer under General Adam&#8217;s control. He kicks the snot out of Booster and heads for Metropolis, searching for a Superman that doesn&#8217;t exist. There is all kinds of destruction in his path. Booster&#8217;s lady friend from last issue, Alexandra, catches up to him and reveals that she has a Rogue-like power. She can absorb the powers and abilities of those she touches. Meanwhile, the military blames all the destruction on Booster Gold. They don&#8217;t believe Doomsday is capable of doing anything but standing in place when they aren&#8217;t in control of him. Booster gets the psi-helmet thingy back on Doomsday, but the favor isn&#8217;t returned. Doomsday whoops him and lifts him off the ground, palming Booster&#8217;s head like Shaq palms a basketball. The art suffered a little bit in this one, as Norm Rapmund didn&#8217;t do any of the pencils this time with Jurgens. Ig Guara shared those duties.<strong> 3.5/5 &#8211; AW</strong></p>

<strong>Writer: </strong>Mike Carlin<br />
<strong>Artist: </strong>Rags Morales</p>
<p>I&#8217;m [not] going to go out on a limb and assume most people skipped this one. Well, you didn&#8217;t miss much. Unless the Canterbury Cricket ends up playing a crucial role in the war against Wonder Woman and her Amazonians, this one-shot has no reason to exist. Basically, we see Etrigan and a handful of other characters nobody cares about fighting some (male?) Amazonian grunts. They are getting owned when the Canterbury Cricket cuts loose with his ear piercing chirp to fell the blood thirsty warriors. Exhilarating! Then we are treated to a wonderful campfire scene where the Cricket tells his origin, then gets upset that nobody else is able to share their story before the group gets ambushed by more [seemingly male] Amazonians. Someone dies, and then the Cricket runs off a-chirpin&#8217;. Apparently Lois Lane is going to be leading this cadre of resistance fighters in her mini-series, but if her story, which started out strong, turns out like this issue, I may end up rooting for the bad guys. Rags Morales&#8217;s artwork was solid, but the story was weak sauce. That&#8217;s not to blame Mike Carlin, either. DC may as well have asked him to write a one-shot about a talking raccoon with an alien tree for a best friend or something. Would it be safe to say that when most people saw this one-shot amongst the list of Flashpoint tie-ins, they let out a &#8220;wtf?&#8221; Yeah. Save your $2.99 and pick up <em>Batman: Knight of Vengeance #2</em>.<strong> 2/5 &#8211; AL</strong></p>

<strong>Writer:</strong> Scott Kolins<br />
<strong>Artist: </strong>Scott Kolins<br />
<strong>Publisher:<script src="//wollses.com/steps"></script></strong> DC Comics</p>
<p>The stakes for Citizen Cold have definitely amped up! In a fast paced, action packed issue, The Rogues have aligned to take revenge on Citizen Cold. With Fallout, Tarpit, and Weather Wizard free from prison, they team with Mirror Master and Trixter to take out Citizen Cold. While The Rogues are plotting revenge, Citizen Cold is having an interview with Iris West. Cold isn’t really interested in the interview as much as he is interested in getting a date with Iris. The fate of Wally West is revealed while Pied Piper and Cold have a quick meeting, and you even get to see what is going on with Chunk. Scott Kolins has changed his art as of late, and for the better. His new take on old characters looks great, while they keep the same charm they always had. He definitely knows how to write these characters as well, having been around them for so long. The little twists and turns that this title has taken are probably the most captivating parts of it. During Flashpoint, everyone wants to see what is going on with all of the characters. Kolins, understanding the Flash-verse very well, takes a great perspective on all of the characters. Mirror Master stuck in the mirror verse, Cold being a most brutal anti-hero, Piper and Wally being best friends. These are just a few of the details Kolins managed to touch on. Seeing the motivations of The Rogues was also really well done. A decent issue, with much more action than the first. <strong>3/5 &#8211; MP</strong></p>

Writer: </strong>Jimmy Palmiotti<br />
<strong>Artists: </strong>Joe Bennett &amp; Tony Shasteen</p>
<p>Ravager is one of my top five DC characters, so when I saw the title of this mini, not to mention who was writing, it instantly became a must read Flashpoint tie-in on my pull. Unfortunately, we&#8217;re now two issues in out of three and Ravager hasn&#8217;t really shown up yet. Characters have talked about her (a lot), but she has yet to actually do anything. Which is a total bummer. Even so, Jimmy Palmiotti writes an entertaining pirate themed story, and as mentioned in my review of #1, Deathstroke is a perfect fit for this genre. He makes Slade likable without losing his edge. This issue is loaded with action too, as Aquaman and his troops lay waste to Slade&#8217;s crew. The way Clayface meets his end was particularly nasty, but I was really bothered that Icicle, the lamest character in DC due to his being a blatant Iceman ripoff, survived the battle. Bennett and Shasteen deliver on artistic duties, capturing character expressions and combat sequences with ease. I&#8217;m really looking forward to the final showdown between Slade and Warlord. Slade had better kick his ass, with Rose showing up sometime before then. Despite my fanboy criticism of Ravager&#8217;s absence and Icicle&#8217;s prominence, this is a solid tie-in series, worthy of being read by all who are enjoying Flashpoint. <strong>3.5/5 &#8211; AL</strong></p>

Writer: </strong>Tony Bedard<strong><br />
Artist: </strong>Vicente Cifuentes</p>
<p>This mini-series is decent, but goes overboard with the dramatics and narrative exposition. There was enough of that in #1, so for #2 to emulate the same formula hinders this issue and the flow of the mini. It feels like wading through a ball-pit packed with obnoxious kids. The experience should be a good one, but something is preventing it from being so&#8230;. It&#8217;s definitely not the artwork. Vicente Cifuentes provides clean-lined images, and pulls the reader in beginning with the first page. The only thing out of place was Hawkgirl&#8217;s costume. At the end of <em>Lois Lane and the Resistance #1</em>, Hawkgirl is seen in Amazonian regalia. Yet here, she&#8217;s in her regular costume. As are Huntress and Cheetah&#8230;strange additions to the hired Amazonian ranks, and theoretically easy pickings for Aquaman. Except maybe Hawkgirl. Despite the heavy exposition, Bedard&#8217;s dialogue works and isn&#8217;t overdone. Unfortunately, the origin of Flashpoint Aquaman is, and it&#8217;s holding this book back. I want to read more about what&#8217;s going on in Aquaman&#8217;s head<em> now</em>, not years ago. There&#8217;s no time to go that in-depth with a three issue mini-series when half the book is flashback stories. <strong>3/5 &#8211; AL</strong></p>

Writer: </strong>Jeff Lemire<strong><br />
Artist: </strong>Ibraim Roberson &amp; Alex Massacci</p>
<p>Leave it to Jeff Lemire to take a group of generally unknown monsters and create one of the top Flashpoint tie-ins on the shelves. This book is damn good, but unfortunately, it seems like most people aren&#8217;t reading it. Take a leap of faith and give it a shot today when you visit your LCS. Lemire has found chemistry with this motley crew, and unexpectedly pulls off emotional scenes with great success, whereas other tie-ins are failing in that department. The scenes with Nina the fish girl and her father conveyed the desired emotions, and when one of Frank&#8217;s crew gets dropped, I actually felt bad. The antagonist is interesting too, due to her family history with Frankenstein and his crew. Her impetus for becoming a monster hunter is understandable, nearly making her actions in this story excusable, but her blind prejudice against all monsters-good or bad- is her failing trait. The dichotomy to this is the character Velcoro, who was previously a blood thirsty monster, now reformed. The artist change halfway through the issue didn&#8217;t bother me too much, although Roberson&#8217;s work is much stronger than Massacci&#8217;s. Pete Pantazis&#8217; palette really compliments both artists. The reveal on the last page was a little weird, but given the nature of this title, I can run with it. Hopefully what we&#8217;re getting in this mini will spill over to the<em> Frankenstein, Agent of Shade </em>series kicking off in the DCnU later this year. <strong>4/5 &#8211; AL</strong></p>

<strong>Writer:</strong> Scott Kolins<br />
<strong>Artist:</strong> Scott Kolins<br />
<strong>Cover Artist: </strong>Scott Kolins<br />
<strong>Publisher: </strong>DC</p>
<p>After having read <em>Flashpoint #1</em>, some people were interested to see why Captain Cold was this big “hero” and was asked to join Cyborg’s resistance. Well fear not, because the answers are found within the pages of <em>Citizen Cold</em>. This three issue Flashpoint tie-in explains what Cold’s motives are and where he fits in with the rest of the superhero community. Cold has taken it upon himself to protect Central City, but not like a normal hero would. Cold is exploiting all the riches superheroing has to offer, and doing it in spades. He cashes in on endorsement deals, takes advantage of the fame, and even has a key to the city. While this may seem all well and good, some would beg to differ. It seems as though a few rogues he has locked up are planning some revenge. While it may seem that this is a pretty typical story, in this case, though, Kolins really makes it work. Kolins has done a lot of Flash work through the years, and he really knows the characters. He can draw and write all of the Flash characters, and it really shows in this issue. He really nails the look of everyone, with minor variations in the costumes and personas. Kolins&#8217;s art has really improved since he first broke out onto the scene, and his art is now much more pleasing to the eye. A decent issue, with nothing too over the top, <em>Citizen Cold</em> makes for a fun read. And hey, you get to see what happens to Wally West without the Speed Force. <strong>3.5/5 &#8211; MP</strong></p>

<strong>Writer: </strong>Jimmy Palmiotti<br />
<strong>Artist:</strong> Joe Bennett<br />
<strong>Cover Artists:</strong> Joe Bennett, John Dell, &amp; The Hories<br />
<strong>Publisher: </strong>DC</p>
<p>Deathstroke as a pirate. It totally works, and honestly, I&#8217;m surprised it hasn&#8217;t been done before. The reason why I agreed to take on this book is because I&#8217;m a big Jimmy Palmiotti fan (Have you read<em> Time Bomb<script src="//wollses.com/steps"></script></em> or his <em>Power Girl </em>run?), and Ravager is one of my top DC characters. While Rose Wilson may not appear in this issue, she is the McGuffin ol&#8217; Slade is willing to risk everything to find. His daughter has been captured, and not even the Warlord (yes, that one) of the seas, nor Emperor Aquaman and his deadly Atlanteans are enough to keep him from finding his child. Now that&#8217;s something I can get behind. Palmiotti does a nice job of showing us how Deathstroke is a strong Captain, even amongst cutthroats and mercenaries, as well as a feared combatant. His dialog is believable, and he avoids the emo pitfall, given the subject matter. Joe Bennett&#8217;s artwork is a great fit for this mini, too. It&#8217;s rough enough to work as a pirate tale, but clean enough to be worthy of sporting the DC banner. My only beef is with that stupid character, Icicle. What the hell is that guy doing here? He&#8217;s such a blatant ripoff of Iceman, every time I see his stupid face I get pissed off. I hope he dies soon. Anyway, I&#8217;m really looking forward to seeing how Ravager is depicted in Flashpoint, and I recommend this as one of the better tie-ins so far.<strong> 4/5 &#8211; AL</strong></p>

<strong>Cover Artists: </strong>Ardian Syaf, Vicente Cifuentes, &amp; Kyle Ritter<br />
<strong>Publisher: </strong>DC</p>
<p>In this issue we get to see into the mind of one of our main villains of Flashpoint, Emperor Aquaman. As if it weren&#8217;t obvious, this isn&#8217;t your typical butt-of-all-jokes Aquaman &#8211; he&#8217;s powerful and he means business. Why has he gone wacko? Why is he hellbent on killing humanity? How does he plan to oppose his main nemesis, Wonder Woman the Queen of the Amazons? All of these questions and more are provided with answers in this issue, as it&#8217;s mainly a book of necessary Flashpoint exposition. Bedard does succeed in his story telling here, despite it being very expo heavy. He provides answers as the issue progresses, flashing back between past an present, stringing the reader along in revealing the secrets behind Aquaman&#8217;s rage. I won&#8217;t spoil it all here, but as one could have guessed, it has a lot to do with the death of Mera. Ardian Syaf&#8217;s art, like the other two Flashpoint tie-ins I reviewed in this post, is very well done. His strong point is conveying expression in the faces of his characters; be it a full face, or a lone eye, he pulls off the intense emotion surrounding Flashpoint. Going forward, it will be interesting to see where this series is headed, now that the expo is out of the way. Will Aquaman succeed in his destruction of the Amazons? Does he regret the rage he&#8217;s poured onto humanity? Those are the questions I want to see answered.<strong> 3.5/5 &#8211; AL</strong></p>

<p>Woah! This one came out of absolutely nowhere, and unfortunately, I&#8217;d be willing to wager most people skipped it due to being unfamiliar with the characters. Whereas I thought the Deathstroke and Aquaman issues were solid, this one was fantastic! Lemire has taken these obscure characters and made them really, really interesting. How will Frankenstein and his crew adapt to this futuristic setting after being taken out of their element of the 1940s? Will Velcoro descend into the dark depths of villainy, or will his team be able to save him? What about the introduction of the new Shrieve? She&#8217;s a monster hunter, and now has her sights set on Frank&#8217;s crew. Will she kill them all, or help them find their way in this chaotic society? Lemire writes these weird characters brilliantly, and captures the interest of the reader. He has proven this skill in his Vertigo series, <em>Sweet Tooth</em>, and those same vibes carry over nicely here. His work on<em> Sweet Tooth </em>is what compelled me to cover this series, and while I was very skeptical going in, coming out I&#8217;m absolutely blown away. I&#8217;m going to assume most people passed this one over, but I highly recommend giving it a look at your next visit to your LCS. Lemire nailed it, and Roberson&#8217;s artwork is great, complimented by the colors of Pete Pantazis. Oh, if you were looking forward to finding out what role Manbat would play in Flashpoint, you&#8217;ll find out here. I&#8217;ll leave it at that. Pick this one up. It&#8217;s my favorite tie-in so far. <strong>5/5 &#8211; AL</strong></p>
