Now that we're back to the Multi-verse, in the DC Universe, I really hope that this series is set up to introduce us to one of the various worlds . . the Tangent world, hopefully. I don't know though, between Superman and Power-girl, there's an awful lot of power being tossed about here. Which means it's gonna take an awful lot of power to bring them down. Most of the Justice League is here now, with the noticeable exception of Superman and Wonder Woman. However, by the end of this issue, most of them are in Superman's custody. The only ones to escape are Batman, the Tangent Green Lantern, the Tangent Spectre and, upon returning to the Spectre laboratory . . an intangible Plastic Man. Well, the Tangent Hex and Joker are also free from custody, but they don't know the fate of the other heroes yet. So, really, we've got 2 problems. First of all Superman is in power and it doesn't look like anyone here has the power to change that. Or, at least, no plans have been formulated yet. But that may change. The second problem is that after talking to John Stewart, and getting a mental impression from him of the heroes and villains on his world, Superman has decided it may be time to expand his empire. "They must be conquered before they conquer us. The Green energy is the key, for its linked to the witch." Dan Jurgens is right up his alley with this book. He does well with these large team-up books, and with all the nuances of this inter-dimensional travel. I expect him to have someone make a move on Superman pretty soon. I'm also enjoying the art of Jamal Igle. I really enjoyed his stuff on Firestorm, and I'm glad he's on this series. He may not be the most dynamic artist, but he does present a very consistent portrait from issue to issue. Like I said, I'm hoping, after all these years, that this one will lead to a new Tangent title. Maybe? We can be hopeful . . right?
