Hey hey! Welcome to another month of my pointless babbling and mindless rants, also know as Judgment Calls. I got things to talk about, so let's begin. But first, I must say spoilers abound in this month's rant so if you don't want to know, don't read it.

This will sound lame and corny but I have to say it, it's judgment time for Day of Judgment! Now last month I commented before reading the mini that I thought it would be a lame excuse for bringing back dead characters. Well it wasn't, despite bringing back Harm in Young Justice, very briefly, and Hal Jordan there wasn't a whole lot. I was wrong, as mini-series writer Geoff Johns was so kind to point out to me.

Well, unless you've been living in a hole in the wall you heard the plot:

it's been over the net for months. Let's look at the consequences #1 and most important, Hal Jordan back from the dead, and now controlling the Spectre. The Spectre in comic book terms is the 'wrath' of God, God's spirit of vengeance. Which can see into human and non-human souls and carries out punishment on them. Since everyone in existence is a sinner, the wrath of God would destroy them all for their sins, that wouldn't be good. So the Spectre must be joined with a mortal soul to be tempered out. During the golden age that soul was of a murdered policeman Jim Corrigan, his soul was laid to rest during the Zero Hour event. Make a long story short, to stop either a demon or a fallen angel to take control of the Spectre, the heroes of earth tried to get Jim to leave heaven and retake the Spectre. Who'd want to leave heaven? So instead they turned to the only other soul with to pure willpower to control the Spectre, the fallen Green Lantern, Hal Jordan.

Jordan went nuts and killed the GL corps and those blue-headed Guardians, btw. Well, Jordan eventually does take control when the Spectre's, I don't know what to call it, spirit asks the three trying to take control why he/it should bond with any of them. The other two made stupid bids for it Jordan broke down and said he didn't deserve the power, he deserved punishment for what he's done. Well, I guess being one with the Spectre is punishment, cause now he's it.

The JLA tie in to DoJ explores how hard it is to be the Spectre since they (Jordan/Spectre) see all the sins of man. He sees everyone as sinners who should be punished and how weird it is being the wrath of god. Very good read, I suggest you go pick up JLA 35. Anyway, let's just say he's going to have a long, hard road ahead of him in his own monthly series that will be out I don't know when. But it should be interesting.

New developments on the Flash front, IT'S WALLY WEST! A weird older scared Wally but it's Wally, I TOLD YOU DREW! Anyway, at the end of issue #154 it was revealed, also there are two other Wally's fighting over the time lost Linda. One of them is not our Wally we know that, he's how Wally would have ended up if he couldn't have saved Linda at the end of the Terminal Velocity story line. The other appeared in the second to last panel and could be the Wally we know and love. We have to wait till next issue to find out, however.

That's about it. This is getting in late and if I get it in any later, then my editor will kill me, so till next month C-ya.
