2 on Injustice: Year Two #6 reviewPrint issue No. 6 collects the Digital Firsts 11 & 12, “Power Shift” and “Casualties of War”. Hal Jordan and John Stewart race to Utah in a desperate attempt to prevent a massacre and it looks like Superman’s newly minted relationship with Sinestro might already be going sour. Meanwhile word of the start of all-out…
The part of this issue that’s relevant for Batfans is the first story, which collects the Digital Firsts 40 & 41, Part 1 & 2 (of 2). The book clocks in at 40 pages and will cost you an extra buck at the stands ($3.99). What you get for your extra pocket change is a…
If Futures End is a crystal ball meant to show us what will come, then the swirling clouds in the center are starting to take shape. We've still got (as my grandmother would say) a "ways to go" but things are becoming more and more interesting. With so many different story lines it can get confusing. Thankfully…
Ah yes! We're seeing some story lines come together here. Things are happening. Tim's got that beard. Good stuff! This issue opens up with our would-be criminals still trying to plan a break-in at Terrifitech all the while sitting in the park. I guess in the future it's normal to look like super villains while…
The storylines keep coming. The mounting tension with Frankenstein and Tim –I mean– Mr. Corcoran is put on hold for an introduction of a couple new characters this issue. It’s all about the long haul and peeling this onion back one layer at a time. Just try not to cry. I liked Andrew’s breakdown for…
S.H.A.D.E. wants something to do with Frankenstein; Cal Corcoran is being evasive; an ex-con weighs his options; and Grifter is still doing his thing. The characters are plentiful in this installment of Futures End. Recommended if: Overall: It's tough grading these weekly comics. On the one hand, we are being asked to pay $2.99 for each comic…
Come for the fight but stay for the family drama. While 3/4 of this issue is dedicated to a no-holds-barred fight scene of epic proportions, I actually found myself drawn more to the mounting stress displayed at the Fox home. I am aware that Tam has had her mind damaged by drugs but I found…
Batman '66 #11 Written by Jeff Parker Art and colors by Jonathan Case Letters by Wes Abbott Like many Batfans who grew up in the Nineties, I was well aware of the Sixties TV show, entranced at a young age by the silly sound effects and adventures of Batman and Robin, but as the years…
Forever Evil has ended. Lex saved the day. Not much is back to normal. In this issue entitled Injustice League Chapter One: Kicking Down Doors, Geoff Johns takes a step back from all the over-the-top action and focuses on asking some intriguing questions about the Justice League and Lex Luthor. The issue begins with the…
Tiny Titans: Return to the Treehouse #1 Written by Art Baltazar and Franco Art by Franco My wife and son both loved this book. That right there is enough for me to give it a recommendation, but it has plenty to offer in and of itself. After two years of inactivity, the Tiny Titans return…
Lobo has taken control of Starfire’s ship, and it’s up to Red Hood and the Outlaws to stop him from unleashing an extinction-event alien nanotech probe nightmare on planet Earth in “The Big Picture: The Conclusion.” Quick side note, this short arc made me remember that Justice League Unlimited episode, “Dark Heart,” where the League…
Red Hood and the Outlaws has always been a fringe title with implications that frequently have nothing to do with Bruce Wayne or any member of the Bat-family and their crusade for justice. This allows Jason Todd, Roy Harper, and Kori to be placed in situations where someone like Nightwing or Batgirl would never be,…
Following last month’s one-shot, Red Hood and the Outlaws jumps into its next arc with “The Big Picture, Part One.” Along with introducing a new story, this issue features a new cast of creators featuring Will Pfeifer as writer and Rafa Sandoval, Paul Neary, and Jordi Tarragona as artists. I was slightly upset that this…
Another issue, another set of heroes introduced. This seems to be a theme of Earth 2 and I’m certainly not complaining. The only problem I can see coming from this would be an inability to give the proper time each hero needs in order to grow and develop. It would also be a shame if…
Last issue we saw the birth of Earth 2’s Flash when Jay Garrick was imbued with the power of super-speed. Alan Scott and his boyfriend Sam were also caught in a massive explosion aboard a Hong Kong bullet train. Oh, and we met Hawkgirl! So a lot has happened. In “Jade Knight” we slow down…
Suicide Squad #30: "Walled In" by Sean Ryan and Andre Coelho After some ups and (mostly) downs, Suicide Squad releases it's final issue before rebooting with the New Suicide Squad in July. "Walled In" picks up in the aftermath of Forever Evil - you know, the event that took forever to end, and apparently takes…
Batman’s been bouncing around the world looking for his son’s body that was stolen by Ra’s al Ghul. He and Frankenstein have found themselves at what was once Nanda Parbat near another “special” Lazarus Pit. The solicits are true in that “The hunt for Robin concludes!” because technically Batman has found his son’s body. The…
With the deaths of The Trinity of Wonders in the Apokolips War, the Earth has gone five years without heroes. Since then, the world has been slowly recovering, using the memories of Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman as inspirations to form a peaceful planet. It is with this in mind that we enter into a…
A one-shot issue with emotional depth, character development, a resolved storyline, AND some good action sequences all in one? This is certainly a good sign for Red Hood and the Outlaws going forward if this is the quality of work that will be featured in the coming issues. Having finished off the All-Caste and the…
I’ve felt that the last year has been lost in the convoluted mysticism of the All-Caste, the Untitled, and most recently the League of Assassins has held back Red Hood and the Outlaws. That seems to have blissfully come to an end with “The Rage of Ra’s al Ghul.” Unclear plot lines, unresolved issues, and…
