It’s the final issue of World’s End, so of course the world has to end!  Or does it!?  No, it does.  And the best part is that “End Times” gives this rocky road a satisfying and powerful conclusion that leaves me full of genuine anticipation to read Convergence to hopefully find out the fates of…

Last week we were treated to a hair-raising conclusion for an issue that had a ton of steam as we race headlong towards the end of World's End.  Daniel Wilson's story picks up right where we left off last time, with the last members of the human race leaving their home planet behind to seek refuge…

Look at that beauty of a cover!  Right from the start, Ben Oliver’s cover art pulls you in to a no-holds barred match-up between Darkseid and Powergirl.  For a super-powered Kryptonian, she sure looks overmatched.  If there’s one thing this series has gotten right, it would be the sheer strength and magnitude of Darkseid’s power. …

The last few issues of World’s End have been above-average, which is a compliment of monumental proportions considering the nonsense that this series has pumped out these last months.  But here we have the makings of the plot-driven, action-loaded story with character depth that we should have had all along. Outside Atom’s Haven:  Yolanda Montez,…

This week we were treated to a bit of a surprise by Earth 2 and Earth 2: World’s End.  The two books run almost concurrently with one another, and the stories tie in very closely.  They both also feature the “jumping around from scene to scene” method that World’s End has been doing.  I really…

The destruction of Earth 2 is at hand, and all the Wonders are fighting back against the forces of Apokolips in a last-ditch effort to save the few human beings who remain, crawling about in the dirt trying to escape the fiery inferno threatening to consume them.  Sounds awesome right?  Too bad so little happens.…

Welcome back to what’s devolved into one of the less coherent and slowest books around – World’s End!  Who would have thought so little would end up happening during the apocalypse brought about by a deific alien planet of the same name.  Literally billions of people have died, and I have not cared once.  That’s…

Hope is a dangerous thing.  So are expectations, and last week’s Earth 2/World’s End combo gave me the slightest amount of hope that the conclusion to these series would be a worthwhile venture.  In the “too long; didn’t read” version of this review: Nothing Happens.  Oh sure, pieces move around the board and events take…

Check out that cover, huh?  “As Apokolips burns, Green Lantern falls – and the Earth is left unprotected!”  Yeah, that doesn’t happen.  Actually, Green Lantern is barely in this issue at all, and that’s a good thing.  What we get instead is a Daniel Wilson story full of self-examination and acceptance in a time of…

The device driving the last few issues has been the bringing together of the many storylines that have taken up the bulk of World’s End.  With so many narratives tied up together, one would think that ample freedom could be given to David Wilson and his writing team to create a coherent tale using the…

Last time in Earth 2: World’s End we said goodbye to Superman for the second, and hopefully final, time.  His sacrifice paves the way for the reforming of the Wonders and sets the stage for the rest of the series.  There is still the Furies to overcome, one Grayson child to save, and the looming…

As we pass the halfway point for Earth 2: World’s End, we get a glimpse of just what the endgame of this series might be.  Daniel Wilson’s story has taken us across Earth 2 and Apokolips, beneath the oceans and into the air, under the fire pits that pockmark the planet, and into the lives…

We have reached just about the halfway point of Earth 2: World’s End’s run, and there is a great deal that still has to be resolved before the dust has settled between the Wonders of Earth 2 and the forces of Apokolips.  This issue picks up where last issue left off, and now more than…

Last time in Earth 2: World’s End, a svelte new creative team had cobbled together a singular, poignant narrative that provided a big reversal for anyone who has been following the book since its inception.  Rather than Earth 2 simply battling Apokolips, it seems that our Wonder-laden planet has becoming an offering to end the…

With a new issue comes not only the slimmed-down creative team that I’ve been hoping for, but also a focused plot and a solid direction that sets the stage for the rest of World’s End.  This so far one-sided war between Earth 2 and Apokolips is but a mere sham for the true machinations at…

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.  This week, there is the undeniable theme of family in Daniel Wilson’s story.  What place does family have in the apocalypse, and how do our Wonders handle it…

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’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…

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…

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…
