This book has actually gotten quite good. First I think that Adam Beechen is doing a fantastic job with this story. Allan Goldman, who is on pencils, first came to our attention in the Superman titles. But, in the short time that he's been around, he has really blossomed in to a first rate artist. I really like how he does his action scenes. And in this book . . really . . it's one big action scene. With all the chaos that's been happening on Rann, Adam and his wife and daughter decide to go back to Earth and try to regroup, or at least get some help. But they soon find out that in Buddy's home town, they're dealing with just as much insanity. Actually more, since the aliens have shown up and decided to sterilize the Earth. Since Buddy seems to be the carrier, they have him in their possession, and once the group is all back together, they have no choice but to try to free him. And we know, obviously, that all of this is coming back to Lady Styx. Once they get Buddy, and they already know that solar radiation seems to be the only thing that can kick this, they decide to go back to Rann and try to recharge Koriand'r under it's triple suns. This is what they mean by stepping from the frying pan in to the fire. In the backup story, Forerunner has gotten a Hawkman of her own. His name is Golden Eagle. Wasn't there a Teen Titan named Golden Eagle, way back when, in one of their incarnations? Just wondering. Anyways she gets him in battle, by besting him. Much in the same way that she obtain the Thanagarian fighter ship last issue. And their next stop is the Source wall. This is a great book, that really has gotten better with every issue. But now . . we only have 2 issues to go. I really think we need a new Adventure Comics title out there. And after a 25 year absence it can start up with issue #504. What do you think?
