Deadman and the Flying Grayson #1
Out of all the tie ins I had a bit of an interest in this issue beforehand as I’ve been reading through Brightest Day, Boston Brand (Deadman) is a prominent character which I’ve grown to like also with the addition of Dick Grayson in this issue, I gave it a chance and it did not disappoint.The writing is great throughout with all the characters staying true to form but in different circumstances, considering everything else that is going on this feels very grounded in this universe and just fits in nicely, we get to see a little more from the Amazons and what they are doing which I liked considering so far the majority of the focus has been on Aquaman.
Unlike a lot of the tie ins so far this one deals more with getting away from the war well almost trying to avoid so that is nice change of pace. The issue also fills in a few gaps of some of the major events happening in the Flashpoint universe, it really starts to build momentum but it ends on a bit of a cliff hanger which will get people to buy the next issue but it feels it is a little to abrupt. Overall this is a fun quick read and while it is not essential reading it does setup/ reveal a few things for later issues in this series and the over arching Flashpoint story.
