Finally . . some answers about Prometheus. Do you remember his battles with the Justice League? They were back during Grant Morrison's run. He almost took down the JLA twice. All by himself. So why then has he seemed like such a b-list villain during his last couple of encounters? Well, as it turns out . . it wasn't actually him. We get the whole story of Prometheus this issue . . right from his childhood. Anyways, during the course of him getting his revenge on all things 'Justice', he found a kid one time when he went to kill one of his cop friends. It turns out the kid had actually killed his own father. Right then he knew that little Chad Graham was something that he could mold. So when Prometheus disappeared . . actually locked in Blackgate by Superman the Jonn Jonn'z after their last encounter, and Jonn had basically shut down his brain . . . Chad decided to use his costume and his tools and take his place. Of course when Prometheus wakes up and finds this out . . he's not very happy. As he's killing him, back in the Ghost Zone, he says . . "You did do me a favor, though. People think I'm a joke. That I'm worthless. They won't see what's coming next. And if the Martian's really gone . . . not even the Justice League will be able to stop me." Sterling Gates, I think, did a great job of putting this story together and reintroducing Prometheus back into the DC Universe. Unless you were a JLA fan and have those early Grant Morrison, Howard Porter issues . . you've never really seen what this guy can do. He's in a league all by himself. I also enjoyed the pencils of Federico Dallocchio. I thought he did a really nice job with this issue. If you're not sure who Prometheus is . . you should pick up this issue and check it out.
