Wow! Here we are at issue #11. Some smaller plots we may have forgotten are picked up in this issue. We see movement in Grifter's story (without Grifter), our Deep Space mission, Mr. Terrific, and our favorite guilt-trodden superhero Firestorm. You know it: nothing moves too fast. Let's take a look at what's going on…

Are you ready for heart-pounding action? Do you want to have your eyes bulge out of your head in utter amazement? Naa, you're not here for that. You're here for the slow build. It's a detailed marathon after all. But hey, some really neat visuals take place in this issue even though it's a fairly…

A Caveat  There's a point when I'm walking my dog (Harvey) where he has fought me and the leash for so long that he finally gives up and just walks beside me like he should have all along. If he's lucky, he'll relinquish the pulling and tugging early on so he'll get to enjoy the…

It's dramatic. It's erratic. We're eight weeks into this series ($23.92 if you're keeping track...I am) and boy, is this a slow build. There are so many stories to be told in 20 pages that each one is taking micro steps toward its final goal. I'm going to take a broad look at each of…

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…

In the wake of a hero's death, Futures End deals much with the theme of responsibility and those who choose to run from it. While last week's installment focused primarily on the funeral for (and I'm going to spoil it here so if you don't want to know then I suggest... you... leave... now...) Green…

NOTE: I'm going to spoil the final page of the previous issue, there's no way around it. If you plan on reading issue #1, turn back now. So the last issue ended with Firestorm showing up too late to save Green Arrow and now all of our heroes must attend the funeral. I say all,…

First of all, that's a super-cool cover. Second of all, I know I said in my review of issue #0 that things would probably be summed up pretty well in issue #1 for those who couldn't get a Free Comic Book Day copy, but it looks like I was wrong. You're going to enjoy this…

If you don't know what it is then you're in for a crazy freaking ride, but if you've been following the release of Futures End closely you get about what you expected, which is still pretty cool. Futures End #0 is DC Comics most talked about Free Comic Book Day release. It's the prelude to…
