I like issues like these. It's one story the whole way through. No major scene changes. It's four main characters featured throughout the entire comic. Jason Rusch, Ronnie Raymond, Madion Payne, and Tim Drake. No Grifter. No Frankenstein. No Fifty Sue (for you haters...I have my moments). No pigs in a blanket or whatever that English…

Lois is leaping! Faraday and Fifty Sue are featured! Batman beats Batman! Madison is missing! These are all alliterated sentences that are both true and over-hyped. Yes, over-hyped. You see that cover above these words? Do you know where my level of Futures End excitement was at when I laid eyes on it? Up to here (I'm…

Happy 5th of November everyone! I hope you read or watched V for Vendetta today to celebrate. I had it playing in the background while I wrote my reviews. Speaking of which, how about this cover for Futures End #27? I saw it sitting on the shelf at the comic book shop today and thought how strange…

If you are like me, seeing our very own Dark Knight on the cover of Futures End makes you excited. Here's a series that's included several characters I've known very little about, so to see Batman on the cover, I was stoked. The truth, however, is that Futures End has its steady agenda in mind; it doesn't get hyped up…

What a fun and exciting read! I'm reminded of an old parable about building a house on sand and rocks. In the parable, the house built on the rock stands, whereas the one built on sand falls. Futures End has a foundation that is 25 issues deep and this house appears to be standing. This issue features…

We've hit a decent stride with the last several issues of Futures End. It makes me happy as both a reviewer and a consumer. I actually look forward to reading each issue and afterwards I don't feel I wasted $2.99 every time. This particular issue features some space action, hero bonding, hero un-bonding, genius thinking, and super punches.…

Futures End has been on the up and up here lately, and it continues in issue #23 with more solid story progression. There are some new advertisements out that are pretty epic (if not a bit spoilerific) that've got me proud to be reading this title. "Too late," it reads, "Eye have seen it. You will…

This is our first week coming out of Futures End month. I suspect there's been a bump in Futures End readers just out of sheer curiosity or plain necessity. This issue hops back into the old multi-story mode, giving us several small sections to inch our way through, though this time there seems to be an overall quickening of…

This issue of Futures End is unlike any other. Usually, each issue contains five or six micro sections, each with a tiny tease of information. This issue is one giant story, or rather, one giant exposition. It is a more than welcome exposition though. For weeks we've all wondered about this war between worlds. Each issue has…

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…

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…

It's amazing how varied each issue of Futures End can be. Even within the same issue, one section can bring you up and another will bring you down. Last week was a good week for the title. This week, being the start of Futures End month, you'd think DC would hit hard like last week to hopefully snag a…

If you've been following this series, you know the snail's pace that each story unfolds. Some story lines go a couple issues before they are even touched upon. Where is Tim? Where is Terry? Why do these stories seem like they belong in separate comics? Well, let me assure you: it has not been an…

Doing  more than barely creep forward, this issue of Futures End manages to keep my interest most of the way through. The details of past issues and the interweaving of all those dozens of characters finds a place here. You know how each issue is usually divided in five or six sections? For the past ten issues…

There is nothing more I can say that is new/profound/exciting about this issue or this series as a whole. Perhaps if I had more of an attachment to the characters or a general feeling that I cared about what might happen, then maybe I'd be more than blasé about it, but that's just a personal…

A lot of fighting goes on this issue. You get double your Fifty Sue (A Hundred Susie?), a lot of female lead characters, a Batman Beyond lying well within reach, and a lost-in-thought Lois Lane. Aside from some stiff dialogue and odd artistic choices, I rather liked this issue compared to others in the series.…

This issue of Futures End features snatching, brooding, snooping, beating, excluding, and trapping. There are a few actual things that take place this issue that you will enjoy but there's more that you won't understand. The issue feels like it has a "form" to it rather than random placement of six stories. To save you money or…

In celebration of Batman Day, take a black marker to your extra copy of Futures End #12 and draw Batman's cowl on Hawkman, complete with the long bat ears, and turn his wings into a cape. Violá! Batman! I'm just kidding, I really like this cover. This week's installment feels like there's less jumping around than past…
