The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

[Kent Horton]

I didn't need one. I highly enjoyed it.

Same here.

I *still* don't understand what was so hard to understand about the book. I mean, it's really pretty straightforward stuff. Is it great? No. At best it's 'meh', but it's NOT hard to understand.

Exactly. It was simple to follow. A hell of a lot simpler than a lot of Morrison's work. Maybe people who don't understand are too used to guys like Byrne explaining every little detail as it happens on panel.

Most of those questions were fucking retarded and the people that asked them lack any sort of reading comprehension skills.

[zombiemichaeljackson]

Obviously it is, otherwise this FAQ wouldn't exist.

That FAQ is full of idiotic questions.

I weep for the reading comprehension skills of the average comic book reader.

Again, the story is passable at best, but it's not hard to understand.

I *do* disagree with the writer of the FAQ about the Monitors, though. I think they're supposed to represent the vampiric tendencies of the readers, not the writers.

Right, everyone is an idiot but you...uh huh.

Well, obviously, but that's beside the point.

I mean, really, what exactly was confusing?

I think the answer to the question, "What exactly does the Omega sanction do?", answers that question perfectly.

It's ridiculous to the point of embaressment.

Q: What happened to Scott Free and Barda, by the way? Is he dead?

A: They died, but they might have returned. That remains to be seen, basically.

Not even the FAQ writer knows the answer!

The best question/answer is this one:

Q: Who exactly was Libra?
A: Just some dude.

Sooooo fucking stupid.

He could've read Final Crisis: Secret Files. That comic had his origin tale.

Excellent point, except one of the major ad campaigns hadn't teased finding out the identity of Libra was a big plot point of FC that was never resolved in the main series. That was yet another case where one of the tie in books explained something we were told was going to happen in the main series.

also...not a big plot point after all.

Yep. After all the hype, Libra didn't really matter to the story at all. He could have been removed and they could have let Glorious Godfrey be the one gathering villains and nothing in the grand scheme of things would have changed. At all. Libra was totally pointless.

But there's never been an answer to that question. The whole point of the Omega Sanction HAS. ALWAYS. BEEN. that no one knows exactly what it does. That's all you really need to know because it doesn't effect the plot one way or another. It do what it do.

Well, they died, but whether or not they(or their analogs) were resurrected in the 5th World/Earth 51/The Kirbyverse has yet to be seen because we haven't seen anything about that world yet.
