I’ve seen the solicits for the next few issues. You can too at http://www.DcComics.com . It looks as if Superman makes at least an appearance on the cover even if he is not on the team for #33. The solicit for #34 mentions both Superman and Wonder Woman.

The examples I gave were places where there were roster changes and we had an adventure as well.

But I still think this sounds a bit more like someone saying they need some boom panels to read a comic.

No Big Three, no Justice League. It’s like the Avengers without Thor, Cap, and Iron Man. You could probably not have one of them, or maybe two, but you take all of them off the team and its not the Avengers anymore. And without Supes, Bats, and Wondy, it’s no longer the League either. Maybe I’d stick around with GL or Flash. Or even Aquaman. But this new line up screams second and third stringers!

For my part, if I’m not excited to see “what happens next?” each month, then it’s not worth collecting. Also, I’m sure the Shadow Cabinet is very cool, but that’s not the title of the comic I bought.

Many of the stories have seemed dragged out way too long. They could have been told in 3 issues but were stretched to 6 to “fill the trade”.

Were there two or three prior issues completely lacking in action, too? Do two or three issues of no action follow these? If not, I’m not bothered by a book without a fight here and there.

Ideally, wouldn’t it be a fair mix of both? Erik clearly wasn’t advocating anything resembling your characterization of “mindless action panels”, but I don’t think he’s off the mark in expecting to see *some* action.

Especially when the cook up a villain and throw it all together at the last second.

I like paced, well thought out comics myself.
