I never guessed that Generation Lost would be one of those "road to Kingdom Come" titles, but with Magog taking a role and now Alloy appearing, I'm wondering if Judd Winick has a plan to use more aspects of that Elseworld title in this surprisingly good series.Fire, Ice, and Rocket Red get to take on the brainwashed Metal Men. I loved seeing how the MM have created these heroic versions of themselves in their shared fantasy world. The little details about who they think they're fighting and protecting make the brainwashed idea more fun than usual. I always like seeing Professor Ivo, he was a memorable villain back in the mid-90s Mr. Miracle series, so I have a soft spot for him.
Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, and Booster are investigating an OMAC facility, and things are much more sedate for them. I would like to see the OMACs reduced down to one guy. The concept works much better when the One Man Army Corps is actually One Man, don't you think? He'd fit in well on Max Lord's misled hero team too. With Alloy, Magog, and an OMAC, you've got a great core of misguided heroes that could later patch things up with a reformed JLI. Make it happen, DC!
Aaron Lopresti's art is always nice, and he gets plenty of chances to show why he's so good at drawing ladies. Fire and Ice look wonderful as expected, but I really enjoyed his take on the big guys in this. Alloy looked intimidating and strong, and Rocket Red looked powerful too.
Good
