It has been hard to find many overarching themes between each issue of Earth 2: World’s End, with its storylines twisting and spiraling apart from one another.

Remember last week when I kind of complained about there not being many releases? Well, we definitely make up for it this week! There’s A LOT to cover this week, and on top of day-to-day spending, Christmas, and comics, my wallet is definitely going to feel the impact! On the positive note, there are a…
Let’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…

It's been about three months since the last big update on Futures End. We are 32 (33 if you count #0) issues in and quite a bit has happened. Like the last update, this is intended to be a sort of Cliff Notes guide to the main plot points of Futures End; it is not a…
In a surprise announcement, Tom Taylor reveals that he will be leaving Injustice: Gods Among Us. Posting on his Facebook page, Taylor reveals that digital issues 13 and 14, what he calls a "bittersweet Superman story," will be his final contribution to the book. His reasons for leaving: The reason... is simple; I’m only one…
New Suicide Squad #5 "Defective" Written by Sean Ryan Art by Rob Hunter Guess what!?!? The Squad isn't in Russia anymore. They're headed to China... And everything that would explain how they got from point A to point B is essentially thrown away with a few sentences, if it's even discussed at all. This book…
Are you ready to get into the Holiday spirit or are you feeling Grinchy? Either way, let Harley Quinn help. With the usual mad mix of sweet and slightly disturbing, this month’s Holiday Special has something for both the young-at-heart and the hard-hearted. For the first time for a Harley Quinn special, this issue doesn’t…
This issue wastes no time throwing the reader into high-stakes circumstances as we see the glamorous BGirl team rampaging through Burnside after a successful robbery, flaunting their stolen goods, and harassing the locals. It’s probably a surprise to no one that the sparkly Batgirl who has joined these bad BGirls is just a Barbara lookalike--the…
Hi. Jesse here for your weekly Futures End review/recap. These days in Futures End we're getting to see all sorts of romantic story lines being addressed. What I'm viewing as Act II of the series invites us to see romantic walks in the city, couples pretending to be married, husbands avenging dead wives, girlfriends trying to get back to…
If you look at the numbers on my face, you won't find thirteen any place. Tear one off and scratch my head; what was once red is black instead. The eight of us go forth, not back, to protect our king from a foe's attack. We're five little items of an everyday sort, you'll find…
Is it just me, or does this week feel lighter than usual? I know some titles ended in November, so I’m assuming one/some of them were released the second week each month… It’s all a blur to me. Days, weeks, months… My awareness of time has essentially disappeared. Maybe I’m just getting old… Anyway, this…
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…
Series 2 of the DC Collectibles Designer Series by Greg Capullo came out this week and the folks at DC were kind enough to send me an sample of the Catwoman figure. Unfortunately, I'm kind of disappointed in it. Don't get me wrong, overall it's a quality Catwoman figure, but it just doesn't have that…
