End Game?

So I just got done watching End Game which supposedly is the last episode. I mean it definitely had a sense of finality to it but it was left open ended on several fronts too. The episode felt a bit rushed as far as the writing went but I still enjoyed it. Although I suspect OA1 probably has a difference of opinion on it then I do. Anyways, here's a pretty good and comprehensive (while not being too long) review of the episode which I agree with for the most part: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhdl5xBQVGg
On a side note the Green Lantern episode Dark Matter ended on more of a note of finality. If that's the case I'll be sorry to see that one go unlike YJ I didn't much care for it at first but the writing eventually improved quite a bit. The show was good about not relying on it's primary caste like Hal Jordan and Kiliwog to carry the stories. As such they developed good secondary characters like Aya and Razor who were anything but two dimensional.

I came across this clip art that I liked from Arkham Unhinged #10. As you can see it's from a flash back sequence featuring The Suicide Squad although I can't friggin figured out if this is supposed to be from the old DCU or part of the reboot since this issue was published fairly recently. But it sure as Hell looks like the Ostrander Squad minus Copperhead. I dunno whatever but I can tell you the cover art features hands down the lamest version of Deadshot I've ever seen! I'm not fucken kidding it's so stupid I'm not going to even include it on this posting if you're not sure what I'm talking about just do a image Google search.

"Build off the original, still magnificent Suicide Squad"

This weekend we saw another great episode and perhaps the beginning of this series wrapping up. With the alliance between The Reach and The Light falling apart and Aqualad and Artemis playing their final hand with their deep cover assignment I'm getting a sense this are coming to a conclusion. Cmon Omega Agent 1 ya gotta give it up for this one! That being said I can't help but wonder if last week's episode was the last we'll see of Arsenal with his new gang. I should hope not seeing as they just started their partnership at the end of that episode. There's still a few other issues to play out such as Black Beetle's ultimate plan now that he's ditched the Reach's ambassador and Vandal Savage escaping with the War World. Stay tuned folks this show keeps getting better and better with each weekend.

Just wanted to give a hat tip to Dale Bagwell  for passing this along to me. It seems the new creative team will be taking the Suicide Squad back to it's Ostrander roots. Too early to say if this is something worth getting excited for but you can read all about it here.

 I'm just throwing this fan art in as an after thought today. This is quite an interesting Marvel vs DC match up. At a glance I'd be inclined to say that Alpha Flight has The Squad out done in the raw power department but that all really depends on which members of  The Squad make up the team that's going to go up against Alpha Flight. Through out the Squad's history in the old DCU they've had so many members come and go and many of them were some pretty ruthless and cunning killers. But also, The Squad does have Amanda Waller and we all know "don't ever fuck with The Wall".

 More cool stuff just keeps falling into my lap today. Here's a little something I put together this Saturday afternoon after having learned about this IDF soldier.
