35 on Harley Quinn: Futures End #1 reviewYou know you're in for something really special on seeing the title page with “Crappily Ever After” rendered in nicely poo-shaped lettering. Harley Quinn always keeps it classy! On reading this, I decided not to ask all those questions about why we have a Harley Quinn Futures End book when this series doesn’t appear to…
Print issue No. 12 collects the Digital Firsts 23 & 24, “Fall of the Gods” and “World’s End”, and wraps up the tortuous journey that has been Year Two. This time around I bought a pint of pistachio gelato well in advance of reading because the last couple of issues have been very hard to…
Futures End Month hits Batman/Superman this week and it's an overall welcomed visit. We aren't treated to anything particularly new or groundbreaking, nor are we given an overly moving story. What we have is the comic book equivalent of "vamping", where in a song a musician may repeat phrases or rhythms over and over for effect. The effect…
Coming off a series reboot, Teen Titans is forced to take a break with Futures End Month. Like waves in the ocean, these Futures End Month titles ebb and flow with good quality stories. Unfortunately for a series that's trying to gain traction, it ebbs kinda bad. SPOILERS THROUGHOUT ENTIRE ARTICLE Like most every other Futures End title, the story begins "five years from now".…
Batwoman: Futures End #1 "Blood Sisters" Written by Marc Andreyko Art by Jason Masters Before I get into this issue, I want to comment on the solicitation... It's infuriating. "Now a creature of the night, Batwoman turns against her former lover, Nocturna, in a final, deadly conflict." This issue is far from that. So far,…
I never thought I would say it, but I was enthralled with a Future’s End Month issue. The previous issue’s I’ve reviewed have mostly fallen flat or piqued my interest, but overall have failed to capture the essence of what the future holds in store for our heroes. Red Hood, however, manages to knock this…
Where the last two issues have been rather jumbled and spent more time explaining and less time showing any really crisis, this latest issue of Infinite Crisis is focused in a good way. We are given a sense of actual progression through the story, and we’re presented with an action-filled and entertaining romp through the…
I think we can all gather together and say, "Thank you Ryan Sook. You have bestowed upon us so many superb covers thus far in Futures End. We all loved Constantine sitting down in the sand. Several of us can't get that purple guy out of our brains from issue #8. The image of Ronnie and Jason…
Multiversity: Society of Super-Heroes #1 “Conquerors from the Counter World” Written by Grant Morrison Art by Chris Sprouse Be honest, after last month, how many of you were nervous to see my review of this issue? I definitely pissed some people off with my previous review of Multiversity, but what can I say? I call…
Scribblenauts Unmasked: A Crisis of Imagination #9: "The Ultimate Battle of Ultimate Finality"/"The End... And The Beginning" Written by Josh Elder Illustrated by Adam Archer Colors by Ian Herring Letters by Saida Temofonte Question: do you find this scene funny? Of course you do. Airplane! is a comedy classic and Leslie Nielsen's deadpan delivery was…
Ray Fawkes makes a good effort to make the reader feel as if they are still reading a Batman and Robin title even though it's Futures End month. Unlike other events where it's a crapshoot as to what story you'll find behind the cover of your favorite series, events in Batman and Robin's pages reflect themes in previous issues. Heretic,…
We take a break from our delayed Justice League series to answer the call of Futures End month. Here, Jeff Lemire (co-writer of Futures End) takes us on a far-out and heady journey five years into the future. It is a big departure from the Justice League as we know it. Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman are all absent. For you…
This adventure encompasses everything that I have come to expect from Batman Eternal: abounding action, elaborate schemes, and shadowy villains!!!! Another penchant this issue displayed in abundance was the use of villains with no attempt to reference who they are or what their deal is. I love how Eternal is completely unapologetic in this manner: …
Here’s another Future’s End Month issue, but unlike last time I visited five years into the future, I got a bit more of what I was expecting coming into this whole experience. Worlds’ Finest has been getting increasingly better as our heroine pair of Helena Wayne and Karen Starr, better known as Huntress and Power…
New Suicide Squad: Futures End #1 "The Replacements" Written by: Sean Ryan Art by: Andre Coelho Based on the solicitation, I felt like this issue had a lot of potential to be really good. Since we've only had two issues, I was really hoping for New Suicide Squad to accomplish what Grayson accomplished, and give…
This issue of Futures End excites me for the most part. We get more than one panel of Terry, Tim shaves his burly beard, and there is a decent amount of tension being built up with several characters. With nineteen issues of backstory I don't see a reason this should be cause for celebration; but, as we…
Back in 1991, DC comics published a story called Armageddon 2001. It was a cross over events that included every corner of the DC Universe in which a hero, called Monarch, turns villain, kills all the other heroes, and takes over the world; in order to prevent this future from occurring, a character, called Waverider,…
Three fairly lengthy stories this go-round instead of the usual four, but still something to enjoy for everybody: a little bit of humor, a little bit of horror, and lots of emphasis on detective work throughout. No need for fancy introductions, let’s get straight to the point. “I...Batman” By Aaron Lopresti Featuring Norman Carver, Jim…
One last outing with Gail Simone at the helm, this time 5 years into the future in this Futures End tie-end that is sure to raise more questions than provide answers. Batgirl has become Bete Noire (the Black Beast, of “Beast” as she’s referred to throughout), and is the silent, shadowy leader of a team…
Birds of Prey: Futures End #1 “The Red League” Written by Christy Marx Art by Robson Rocha We’re continuing Futures End month with a glance at where the Birds of Prey… er… Dinah is in the future. The last time we saw Dinah, she was flying into the sunset with Condor, so what will she…
