Reception
Bruce MacIntosh of comicon.com speculated that DC continued to use Equus following "For Tomorrow", as in Countdown to Final Crisis, not because he was a great character but because DC invested a year of one of their flagship titles and two of their high-profile creators in a story featuring him, and wanted the character to serve as a return on that investment. He also noted that fans have pointed out strong similarities between Equus and Mark Millar's character Seth from The Authority, and that whereas Equus' name is Latin for "horse", Seth has hooves like a horse.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
