Things are starting to come to a head this issue . . there's only 1 issue left. I'm thinking that the DC heroes represented here aren't the actual heroes . . I think they're just 'constructs'. I think they're just images taken out of the book that Chimera is reading in the dream-realm. They have the same basic characteristics and attributes of the heroes, but . . none of their memories. Now I understand why Batman was killed in issue #1, but then was back again in #2 with no memories of what had happened. The 'hero' thing though, basically, is the faulty logic in Chimera's plan. Hero's are intrinsically . . . heroic. So, no matter what type of situation he puts them in, or what he tells them, they're going to revert to their heroic nature. And that's when everything fell apart for him in issue #2. That's when he decided to bring in all the villains . . all at once. Yes it was overwhelming at first, but, in the end hero's always beat villains. Again, he's set himself up to fail. Midnighter and Apollo, with Superman's help, try to get to his sleeping body this issue. I think, though, when things started falling apart he had one of his constructs move it. Now they don't know where he's at. It looks like it's going to be up to the Doctor to confront him in the dream-realm. Hopefully he doesn't turn himself into the WildStorm version of the Sandman or something before then. This book is brought to us by Keith Giffen and Lee Garbett. Both of which, I think, are doing a fantastic job. We also get a very nice Gene Ha cover this issue. But there's only 1 issue to go. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out, and what the repercussions are going to be.
