I spend a lot of time and money buying and reading comics. Most of the time I'm happy with my choices, sometimes not. I'm hoping,that with my reviews on what I've read, I might spare someone else dissapointment. I'll read anything, but I can't afford everything. If there's something you'd like for me to read, let me know. If you take the time to read this, please, take the time to let me know what you think. I may not agree with you, or you may not agree with me. But, so what. That's life.

Final Crisis Aftermath - Escape #4 - DC
Now this mini-series, on the other hand . . is very confusing to me. I believe this story takes place in one of the World Peace Organizations strong-holds, I believe in Bludhaven. But . . I could be wrong. This whole story, and everything in it comes across as some type of fever-dream. Some drug-induced scenario that's being played out in Nemesis', or Cameron's, head. Also, for some reason, during these scenes . . they have a clock. I'm not sure what the signifigance of that is . . it's very hard to follow, but I know it's important. They start out at 12:08. They've come to Tom's aid (?), as he's strapped to some big wheel. We see Fire, the Atomic Knight, Cameron and Peacemaker. Well actually, we start out with Amanda in a control room with a couple of agents and a prisoner. He's hooded, but when she removes it, after Peacekeeper and the other guy (?) take off to help Cameron and Tom. It turns out to be Rick Flag. He apologizes and then they're swept up in some kind of beam or something. They all try to make their escape. But then at 12:19 they come face to face with some type of OMAC. It's obvious that's what he is, but . . he's different. He tells them "You have to finish what you started.", whatever that means. Adrian tries to use her powers on him, but he's not a metahuman. Tom and Adrian then find themselves separated from the others and in some kind of maze. They close their eyes and each time they reopen them they end up in some new whacked-out situation. It's 3:15 when they end up by a time-pool. When they come across some machine, Cameron seems to have an epiphany. She tells Tom she thinks she knows what's going to happen, however she's not allowed to tell him, and they're not getting out of there together. Next thing they know they're standing in front of one of the Flash's cosmic treadmills. For some reason Tom thinks he can get on it and get them out of here. He ends up lying in a bed. It's 12:47 and there's 3 lady robots there to serve him. Did that make any sense at all to you? Me either. Ivan Brandon and Cliff Richards are the creative talent on this story. The only thing I get out of this whole thing is that it revolves around Tom. Other than that . . I have no idea what's going on.
