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:
“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 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)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
