"The Fall and Rise of Vandal Savage Part One"
Story by Stuart Moore, art by Paul Gulacy

On the plus side: a cool story idea -- Vandal Savage, who has been alive since the dawn of mankind, has 11 days to live -- and a great scene with Savage's daughter, Scandal. On the minus side: dull Vandal-Savage-through-the-ages padding. pedestrian dialogue, a few pages of rushed-looking artwork, and a mendacious cover. (You can't put "featuring Green Lantern" on the front if he only appears in one panel.) That's a "No thanks," then.
