Wednesday Comics #7 - DC

I read this on Wednesday, but . . I haven't bothered to write anything down yet. Sorry! Batman is getting a little closer to finding the killer. He pushes Hardy, his last lead, who gives him another name . . Carlton Glass. But no sooner does he give him the name than he's killed. Kamandi gets some information out of the girl . . her name Orora. And they, and Dr Canus, are on their way to Shintun to help Tuftan and his father escape the Apes. However, on their way there they see that the Tiger Legion has been defeated. That means that these 3 are now the Prince's only hope. Meanwhile, Superman is just getting clobbered. He has no idea who these aliens are and how they're so strong. It appears that they're also telepaths because as they're fighting Clark worries about Ma and Pa, but they're out of town at church. However, as soon as he thinks it . . they're on their way to intercept. Deadman has finally caught up to the girl that he tried to help in the alley . . the one that got him into this whole mess. He finds out that she's not the only girl captured here. They're in a kind of limbo, and there's a demon there that has captured other women and is amusing himself by torturing them. Boston is trying to think of a plan to help them escape. Hal has finally made it to the TV station, where he finds Dill transformed into some kind of alien. Unfortunately, as he's fighting him, he finds out that he's strong enough to break through his rings constructed barrier. Metamorpho and Rainy, the elemental girl, have made it through some more of the traps, and have started questioning their involvement. That's when they come across another elemental type creature that's guarding the Star of Atlantis diamond. The Teen Titans are trying to figure out what the deal is with this new Triton. They've come across a couple of them in the past. This one claims that he's Dr Light's son, and he's from the future. Supposedly, he's preventing the Titans from becoming a threat then. So . . they're off to fight him. They know it's a trap, but . . it's what they do. Adam has a dream where Dr. Fate comes to him and helps him find his Zeta-map. Now he can find another location and go back to Rann. Supergirl and called on Aquaman to try to help her figure out what's wrong with Krypto and Streaky. But . . he doesn't talk to 'those' type of animals. He's mad about the inconvenience at first, but then he apologizes to her. He sends her off to see Doctor Mid-Nite. The Metal Men find out that this Dr Pretorius has created Chemo, and he may be more than the Metal Men can handle. Tin gets the raw end of the deal, and he probably won't be the last. Wonder Woman has another dream where she's going after the sword, but this time she may have inadvertantly sacrificed Etta and the Professor. To make matters worse, she can't seem to wake up. Sgt Rock is finally free . . sort of. He's still in a bunker someplace, but at least now he has a gun and a knife. And the rest of Easy Company have finally made it out of the cave. The Flash is getting closer to figuring out what's going on, but the more time he spends the more versions of himself that keep appearing. He's also starting to hallucinate and get nose bleeds. He's seeing monkeys. Morgaine has force the Demon back into his Jason Blood form, which also transforms Selina back. Now she's ready to pounce. And finally . . Hawkman has managed to bring the plan down, but they may have gone from the frying pan into the fire. The appear to be stranded on an island of dinosaurs. And because of the strain of trying to save the airplane, his Nth metal belt doesn't appear to be working. I sincerely applaud all the talent on this series. There are some great looking pages here. However . . I'm glad this is a mini-series because it's starting to drive me crazy. I appreciate what they're trying to do here, but . . there's only so much information they can fit on 1 page. We're really getting it in bite sized pieces. The only saving grace is that it's weekly . . so it doesn't take that long to start building up a little momentum. But . . it's very little momentum. This is issue #7 and some of the stories I don't know much more than when we first started. Well . . the artwork is pretty good too, so . . that helps with my patience. I want to be positive . . I really do. But like I said . . it's just a little frustrating. But I'll keep trying.
