The New Frontier


Hello Chums,


I just watched DC comics The New Frontier DVD last night. And while I haven't read the comic since it came out, I didn't remember it to be quite this boring. Okay so I know what they are trying to do (create the silver age and get the Justice league together as a team), but there were just too many dangling plot points that were never resolved. And how about all the cameos of characters that they did nothing with? Now I am not a New Frontier hater, I just wish the story could have been tighter. While at times the artwork looked like Darwyn Cooke drew it himself, the story was missing the same feeling the comic had. This story seemed more like a pilot for a new series than a movie.
