8 on Worlds' Finest #29 reviewLet’s all face it, this hasn’t been the most stellar of books since the focus shifted from Huntress and Powergirl to Earth 2’s Batman and Superman. Hell, this might be one of the most underwhelming titles in all the New 52 that are still around, and the last two issues were proof enough for me…
Wait a minute, is that a coherent story from World’s End and Daniel Wilson? Is that par-or-better artwork from Barrows et al and World’s End? Is that a good score for World’s End in over six weeks? You bet your sweet rump it is. NOTICE: Read this AFTER reading Earth 2, as the events of…
I know nothing about Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, absolutely nothing. There is not only thing I could tell you about Booster Gold outside of whatever I learned from Justice League Unlimited, and no lies I just skip his episode on Netflix whenever I watch the series. My only exposure to Blue Beetle would be…
We have got another collection of rapid-fire origin stories in this month’s Secret Origins, a book entirely intent of proving the point that beginnings will always sell. This month features one superhero staple and two of his lesser known baddie-beating buddies: The Flash, Huntress, and Superboy. I had not picked up an issue of Secret…
I’m just going to jump into the review. Here’s the brief overview: stuff just happens, again, but Daniel Wilson's story really goes nowhere. It’s all just a build-up. Space: Probably the coolest image in the book, Alan Scott is back in space fending off asteroids seeing as how Apokolips just destroyed the Moon. That whole “destroyed…
Quick question, and please be honest and forthcoming. Do any of you care about this book? Or rather, do any of you out there read this book? I haven’t seen the numbers for this series’ sales or for the number of consistent subscribers to the video game, but I went to my local comic store…
The latest arc of Red Hood and the Outlaws continues down the dangerous slope of drug abuse, with each of our heroes facing trials that they will be inevitably forced to overcome or fall in the process. It really does feel like forever since I’ve gotten settled down and remembered just what exactly was going…
This review is done a little differently, so just bear with me. Issue #7 “Arrival” is very good, probably the best issue in this series since Issue #1. I admit I may have been a bit overzealous in my review of Issue #2, but this is a very, very good book. Now, why such the…
When I saw the cover and solicitation for this book, I immediately thought of my favorite moment from the most recent iteration of the Batman/Superman line. Bruce and Clark meet as kids and have that baseball moment while Jonathan and Alfred male-bond over a broken-down car. It was awesome, because it highlighted the qualities of…
Another issue, another book that leaves me feeling that something is missing. Maybe that’s a bad explanation. I’m still not sure if Daniel H. Wilson’s story is at fault here, or if it is being parsed and broken apart by editorial influence. Whether it is an issue count that this story needs to reach, or…
Welcome back to World’s End, where so many cool things happen but the book never stops and breaths in order for the reader to see how things will play out. It’s like dealing with six screaming kids in a toy store, all trying to figure out what to play with but they keeping throwing their…
Who’s up for an origin story? Anyone? How about four? “Origins” is just that, with a look into the pasts of the Four Furies of Apokolips. The exploration of the issue as a whole is going to be pretty short, seeing as how this is mostly background for some characters who haven’t really made an…
In a week where some top-notch quality books were released, I was pleasantly surprised to find that when all was said and done, Justice League 3000 stood as not only my favorite book of the lot, but as perhaps my favorite issue of the entire run. Last month, I was underwhelmed with the ease by…
It is incredibly strange for someone who does not read much of the other weekly titles that World’s End can feel so fast-paced and yet have nothing happen. There’s always a feeling that something is happening regardless of which one of the five alternating plots is consuming my attention at one particular moment, but by…
Well, the steam had to run out some time. After a strong start, a few of the cracks in the quality of the earlier issues have become full-fledged problems. This is just my personal observation from my limited reading of Future’s End and to a greater extent Batman Eternal, but these weekly books suffer from…
Bring on the Furies! That’s where we’re at in Earth 2: World’s End, the Four Furies of Apokolips have arrived on Earth 2 and our Wonders are out to stop them. Last issue we received a complete overview of Earth 2, which is cool and all, but now we’re on the war path against some…
You knew as soon as it was getting good with Huntress and Powergirl that DC would pull the rug out from underneath them and turn this into another Batman and Superman story. As if Batman/Superman wasn’t enough, or their indirect team-up in books like Justice League. So if you absolutely needed more Bruce and Clark…
After the Red Hood awesomeness that was Future’s End Month, I had forgotten how mediocre the issues beforehand were. For anyone who hasn’t read those previous issues in a while, there was a terrorist attack on Washington D.C., the Outlaws and S.H.A.D.E. got into a little spat, and Kori tracked down a former alien slaver…
Now, I’m reviewing this because it has Red Hood in it, and my only experience with Supergirl in the New 52 has been Batman/Superman Annual Issue 1 and some random panel in one of the earlier Worlds’ Finest issues. So any Supergirl fans please forgive any ignorance on my part. I wasn’t expecting much from…
The past three issues for Infinite Crisis had been a steady climb of improvement, taking interesting iterations of familiar characters and throwing them into a who’s-who battle royal. We saw heroes and villains from Earth-Prime, Arcane Earth, Nightmare Earth, Gaslight Earth, and Atomic Earth all battle for control of a super weapon. It was a…
