I like to see it as Axel just being ignorant for the sake of it or having a very poor long-term memory. The kid is a bit of a sociopath for him to not identify someone he hasn't seen in years as 'never' having seen them kinda fits.
Agh I WANTED to see Josh so much but like that *whimper* will you write a review thing like this when I am at school so I can get what happens with that without fretting till I get off school Dec.12?
Yeah, you could be right about Axel. It just seems like an odd oversight, though. I know it was an "explain who Gambi is to the readers" too, but it's just clunky when Axel's even addressed him by name before.
Oh, absolutely I'll write up a summary for #3! How come you won't be able to see it for so long??
The town where I go to school doesn't have a comic store.
So a combo of disliking buying by internet and local loyalty I make a deal with the local comic bookstore owner to hold all my things in a file- but I do have to leave him a note tomorrow with my new phone number and a confirmed of EXACTLY which things from now to dec. I want placed in my file.. soo I suppose I should be doing solicit checking right now.
I loved being in Peterborough (the place I lived in when I started reading comics)...all the shops there had new comics for US cover price. This was back when the Canadian dollar still sucked and no other place I've known did that until our dollar became on par.
Heh, I was wondering what you'd think of this issue ^_^ It seemed to be aimed at the Wizard and Cold fans in particular.
Yeah, I like how nobody seems to have noticed Josh is gone. But maybe we shouldn't be surprised, because Iris has done a bunch of things over the past few years with no kid in sight...maybe she gave him to someone else for safekeeping..?
It does worry me that Josh doesn't seem to have aged, though O_o Then again, neither has his dad, so maybe it runs in the family ;)
Well, Geoff kept true to his word that there'd be a good WW showing in the mini (and we still haven't gotten to see his dark secret revealed --undoubtedly at the observatory). Hell, he gave everyone great character moments, here. But argh..I really hope Mark isn't getting short-changed out of a later Rogue Profile issue.
I wonder who it'll be among them that truly wanted Bart dead, though. There was that promise..

That makes a lot of sense. As for that young Josh, I bet Kolins went back to Birthright and forgot to age the kid much - unless Libra deliberately had Zoom snatch Josh from a point in the past. There's been at least a couple of years since that story happened in the DCU..
*shakes head* Someone sure has a way with women, he does..I wonder how he likes writers? Although if I probably had to give him an answer, I'd say Douglas Adams. What say you?

I think McCulloch has generally been shortchanged so far. He hasn't done much except seem mildly Scottish. Which is odd, because Johns always seemed to like him.

Not looking forward to that, because I don't approve of it :(

In which case, he could grab Josh from any point in time and Iris might not

I actually thought the most disturbing thing in the issue was Len freezing and smashing the effigy of Lisa. I mean, there are so many layers to that I don't know where to begin.
I'm gonna sit over here in my corner with my copy (which I did read on Wed. but haven't been on the site since) and squeal over Axel by myself. He gets the cover to #3 btw guys - axelaxelaxel... Ahem - I feel personally like as he has the darn cover as HW did in thisa one, he's gonna do something very very good or very very bad in the next issue. The MM/Trixi moment in there kinda leaned toward it. Axel's gonna have to step up or become toast.
Len's moment in LWaT was so... Awwwwwww <3 I assume given teh green and yellow he was talking to Mark?

There was an "I can't believe they did that/went that deep" moment on nearly every page..

JOHNS DIDN'T FORGET!!!! (Iris has to be an extremely bad mom for letting him go missing, though..)

It is great (if disturbing) to see Len finally get their vengeance on their father, but I wish she could be there.

The first Snart flashback shown in this issue is creepier than any of the flashbacks from the spotlight issue. Sad :(

On an aside. There's Capt Cold headshots (expression studies) here: http://afangirlsdream.deviantart.com/art/August-Sketch-Dump-LargeFile-96372337 at my LJ for those interested.

Yeah, I actually liked Axel here too. He seems to be realizing he might have gotten in over his head.
