I thought the quick writeoff of Miss A seemed a bit hasty... a couple of panels and BOOM??? She's been dead before. It won't stick.
And Red Bee will have a lot of apologizing to do if she ever regains her own will. "Sorry about forcibly mating with you and then trying to feed you guys to the colony..." I don't think Hallmark has a card for that (so much for their "card for every occasion" slogan).

I just checked the DC website, and noticed Miss America is on the cover of USatFF #7, so she didn't stay dead for long. She could be DC's answer to Jean Grey!!

Justin Gray posts from time to time at the Comicbloc website. He made this cryptic comment about Miss A's fate:
"Miss America is no more but Joan Dale returns next issue. "
Hmmm.
In #6, we get an origin for Neon... a new role and costume for Happy Terrill, a tragic and yucky lab accident,a cool moment for Human Bomb, and more Red Bee weirdness.
I'm beginning to agree that she might be unsalvageable.
I hope the trade of this sells-- I know I'll push it at the book store where I work.
Maybe trade sales would convince DC to publish another FF mini-- hopefully one debuting in a less crowded season?

*Very* quick wrap-up. With a somewhat downer of a denouement showing the various dispersed heroes living their own lives.
Not a downer to *them*, I suppose. I actually appreciated Uncle Sam's 'they need their time' comment, especially with the knowledge that they're going to be appearing in (hopefully *starring* in an issue or two or at the least heavily featured in) FINAL CRISIS. With the proviso that there's not yet another gut-the-Freedom-Fighters scene.
Ms. Cosmos, in particular, needs some clarification. As does Neon. Now, wouldn't that make a fun BRAVE AND THE BOLD issue? There seemed to be a spark between the two, for a second there.

No, me either. But there's *so* much potential there, that I really wish that an ongoing was scheduled. I'd rather read more with these characters than many others that get featured month in and month out.
I hope Morrison leaves them relatively intact when he's done with FINAL CRISIS, in which they're supposed to play a part, I believe.

One of the major things that irked me about this was the art. I HATE, HATE, HATE when an artist continually copies panels over and over again, even if they think its helping tell the story a certain way. It distracts me and reeks of laziness. Considering the story wasn't anything to write home to Mom about, that certainly didn't help.

Before this mini it would have a definite yes. Now I'd really have to think about it and the wrong artist could actually kill the deal for me.
But its partially my own unfair bias lately. I feel like I've been 'had' by DC too many times in the last 2-3 years.
Still, all the things are in place...cool characters I like, writers who can be really great upon occassion...now it would just need to actually deliver. Like Jonah Hex does (also done by GreyPal) each and every month.
