Jacob, I'm sorry to see you didn't dig it so much, but I can relate a little as I was a big fan of the original POWER OF SHAZAM series and while I did like the new issue that came out last week, overall it was a disappointment because it didn't feel anything like the old series. At least this PHANTOM STRANGER issue had more than just one page featuring it's star character LOLJosh Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04898824567492925741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2672912018624878918.post-22964996912221753012010-01-21T18:41:17.249-05:002010-01-21T18:41:17.249-05:00I haven't picked this up yet, but I bought Wei...I haven't picked this up yet, but I bought Weird Western Tales and it was the absolute WORST comic-book I've read in about a year. Blech!! <br /><br />I don't find it surprising that the writer is none other than Dan Didio himself.

The Stranger was both a minor player in it and very un-Stranger-like. His non-interference rules are "subjective"?? No, no, no. They're mysterious in origin and scope, and the readers don't get to know when they allow him to act, and they might even be self-imposed-- but they're still *rules.* "I am not permitted" is one of the most common things for him to say; that's not what you say about a subjective preference.Jacob T.
