CBR Review: Flashpoint: Deadman and the Flying Graysons #1

I recently reviewed Flashpoint: Deadman and the Flying Graysons #1 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "Reading the first issue of Flashpoint: Deadman and the Flying Graysons, it brings to mind a meeting where the muckity-mucks at DC were kicking around ideas for Flashpoint mini-series and someone said, 'Hey, how about Deadman, who never died, is in the same circus troupe as Dick Grayson and his parents, who also lived?' Sounds good, especially when you throw in some other characters like Ragdoll, Killer Shark, and Dr. Fate, except for one thing: no one really came up with a story. As far as comics that are nothing more than ideas go, this one is some lovely art and the odd bit of character work that succeeds."
