    I like the new Hourman quite a bit, and I love how David Goyer & Geoff Johns managed to come up with a way to make the original Hourman into an occasional guest-star in these pages, as except for Wesley Dodds (Sandman) & Ted Knight (Starman), Rex Tyler stands up as one of my favorite characters from DC's Golden Age. Of course I'm not sure I care much for the additions that writers have since tacked on the character, that cast him as a drug addicted loon, instead of simply a man who thrived on the danger & excitement that comes with being a super-hero, but this is neither here nor there when it comes to this issue. This issue is instead about a reconciliation of sorts between a father & son, and this reunion neatly parallels a similar story involving Jakeem Thunder, though that meeting takes a different, less satisfying turn. As it stands this isn't a bad issue, but these ideas have been handled in a more engaging manner over in other titles. Read Full Review

    The father's day scenes both between Hourmen and Jakeem are cloying. They seem to shout out: look we're deep, but failing to notice the utter shallowness of the exercise. Read Full Review
