Flashpoint: Legion Of Doom #3

   Heatwave and his fellow inmates have taken control of Oliver Queen's flying fortress prison for super-villains and is now heading on a collision course for the Motor City. It's Heatwave's ultimate act of revenge on his arch enemy, Cyborg, to destroy his hometown of Detroit. But with Cyborg's internal batteries failing, can the Flashpoint America's greatest hero save his home from a apocalypse of 9/11 proportions?
    This was a thrilling conclusion to the Legion of Doom miniseries. I loved the action. I loved the drama. And I absolutely loved the plot twists. The saying 'there is no honor among thieves' is presented in flying colors here.
    I mentioned 9/11. That tragic date in history is used so often in stories about alternate history and though it's not mentioned by name- the threat of a giant flying prison set to destroy a major American city; well the allusion to that event wasn't lost on me.
    Oh, and the ending- wow! It was freakin' awesome! I just wish there was one more page...

Flashpoint: Legion of Doom #2

  After some careful planning, Mick Rory (Heatwave) enacts his plan to break out of the flying fortress known as Queen's Row. With a small band of prisoners and Eel O'Brien- the Plastic Man, helping him escape, Rory uncovers the secrets of the prison for super villains known as the Row and get reunited with his confiscated gear. But he's not done yet as Heatwave seeks to add some heat to old Detroit; home of his arch-enemy Cyborg!

    The gore factor in this series is proof that while Flashpoint is a great storyline, it's not the DC Universe. It's also not for kids. When the book says on the cover that it's rated for teens up, the editor's mean it! But if they ever decide to make this miniseries into a movie, they've got to have Tarantino helming this project! This has his name written all over it!

   Insane stuff that pulls no punches!
