This issue took a little different approach to the Black Lantern problem. You know . . now that I think about it. These guys are like cockroaches. You just can't seem to get rid of the damn things. Anyways, this issue maintains the Superman/Batman theme, but . . only peripherally. Actually it's an all monster issue. True . . all monsters that are connected to Superman and Batman, but . . all monsters none the less. It includes Bizarro, Solomon Grundy, Man-Bat, Frankenstein and the Bride of Frankenstein. The last 2 are connected to SHADE, but . . you know . . still monsters. Anyways, last issue Bizarro and Man-Bat were tangling. When, all of the sudden . . the Black Ring went after Solomon Grundy . . who just happened to be dead in Gotham swamp. At the end of the mini-series, also by Scott Kolins . . who does the writing and the art on this book . . it looked like the legend of Solomon Grundy was finished. But now . . now they've got a way to bring him back. Maybe? It appears that SHADE got involved because they're trying to help Kirk's wife, Francine administer a cure for him. He can finally be rid of the Man-Bat curse. But of course Frankenstein and his wife get caught in the middle of the fight between these monsters. So . . long story short, Solomon Grundy rips out Frankenstein's heart. Bizarro see's how sad Francine is when Kirk refuses the treatment and goes off again as Man-Bat. It reminds him of Lois. And he can see that Solomon Grundy is the center of all of this drama. So Bizarro decides . . 'Grundy good. Bizarro save Grundy.' He's flies around the world to build up momentum, grabs up Grundy on the way past, and then flies off into space to drop him into the sun. So . . is Grundy back . . or not? It's kind of hard to tell. And what of Bizarro? He's somewhere out in space right now. Oh yeah, and Frankenstein? He has 2 hearts. So he's ok, for now. This was a bizarre issue. It was ok, but . . I'm not really sure what the point was. It was ok. But why tie it to Blackest Night if there's no real lasting effects? I don't know. Maybe it'll have something to do with some future story-line. Only time will tell. Meanwhile . . if you missed it . . don't beat yourself up.
