5 on Future State: Justice League #2 reviewAt this point, everyone and their mother has a different opinion on Future State – and while I still ultimately like the change of pace, I can’t deny the validity to a lot of people’s complaints. There are a few standouts throughout each time period the event is trying to portray, but the way they…
I’m trying to get a good read on the Future State event so far, and I have to say, I’m a little stumped. I’ve actually had debates with my coworkers about the nature of this event: while I’ve been honestly rather stoked at the chance to see characters doing something different within the DC Universe,…
Do you know how long the Lord of the Rings movies are, Matina? (Not the exact number, but I know they’re long enough I rarely watch all three in the same day, especially considering I always watch the extended editions.) Looking it up on Google, that beast of a trilogy clocks in at around about…
(You know, there are a lot of easy jokes to make about a title like Endless Winter. “Yeah, this event sure does FEEL endless!” is the obvious one. “With a title like Endless Winter, you really should have expected an ice-cold reception!” is another. That being said, I actually think the title is the most…
Evening, Matina! How are things going for you this week? (Afternoon, Nick. Things are good, how about you?) Oh, just peachy, really. But, more importantly, how are you? (Me? I’m good, had a nice week. How’s your week been?) Great! Great. Good week. Great time. Thanks, yeah. Good stuff. (…So...) So-- yeah. Hey, how long…
Hey, Joker War? How’s that crossover event going? ...It’s over? Cool, cool. How’s Death Metal chugging along? ...Still going? Well, okay. When’s Future State? Next month?! Alright, screw it. We can probably squeeze in a Christmas event, right? No one’s gonna mind. Justice League: Endless Winter is the literary embodiment of a stocking stuffer, and…
…Argh. I’m going to try making this quick, because I don’t want to linger on this for too long. For the past several issues of Justice League, I’ve been having a great time reviewing the title. From The Garden of Mercy to Doom Metal, the comic has recently pivoted away from high-octane action, focusing more…
This book is a weird one to review. Recently, I’ve been very pleasantly surprised at the consistent level of quality we’re seeing from Justice League – especially when it’s serving the role of a tie-in to a larger event that I don’t have many positive feelings for. Joshua Williamson, Xermanico and Robson Rocha are telling…
Who, in your opinion, are the best adversaries in all of fiction? The dynamic of the arch-enemy is one that has persisted for many a decade, and it’s created a sea of wonderful content. The creative potential of two individuals at diametrically opposed ends of morality… well, it’s a well that you can seemingly draw…
In 1902, British author W. W. Jacobs published a collection of short stories entitled The Lady of the Barge: twelve different tales that predominantly focused on the horror genre. In this collection lay a tale called The Monkey’s Paw: an iconic supernatural story about a family who gain the mummified hand of a monkey, which…
When a body is found in the Hall of Justice the Justice League are faced with a challenge even they might not come out of if they don't work together! How did someone get in? Who is this person? And can the group figure it out before the whole Hall turns against them? Hey guys!…
Alright, full disclosure: I hate Dark Nights: Death Metal. I hate Dark Nights: Death Metal. I’m not blaming anyone in particular for why I hate it – I’ve heard enough about the industry by now to know that even finishing a comic book on time is something of a thermodynamic miracle. But whether I attribute…
Alright, this is getting silly at this point. Justice League #52 is now the third pseudo-sequel to Alan Moore’s work that I’ve reviewed in a row! With this, Three Jokers and everything going on with Watchmen, you’d think DC is just desperate to milk every dollar they can from the jaded magician after hurting him…
You know, I spent a good half-hour trying to think of a clever way to open this review. Sometimes the opening of these articles can be the most difficult, because you’re trying to put your best foot forward for readers looking to your opinion on this issue – a privilege which I greatly appreciate, by…
Every so often when writing my reviews, I need to take a moment to readjust my way of thinking. Whether or not I like a story, I have to remember the hard work that’s being put into publishing these books for everyone to read: the hours of writing, editing, penciling, inking, colouring, lettering and printing…
Haha, Batman looks funny in that picture. Anyway, would any of you mind if I copy-pasted what I said about this book last week? I joke, of course, but I can’t deny there’s going to be a lot of repetition here. This story covers some ground that has potential, at least conceptually… but I’m not…
And with that, Robert Venditti’s run on Justice League is over! …Yes, you’re right, that did happen last issue. I happened to not notice it, on account of reading the wrong solicitation for this issue. In my defense, it’s hard to tell at first. In the first issue of Simon Spurrier’s “The Rule”, Aaron Lopresti’s…
I genuinely don’t know what to think of the conclusion to Robert Venditti’s “Cold War” arc. I’ve sat with it a while, and I’m still not really sure about it. It’s not that the ending is particularly mind-boggling, or even particularly bad; really, this issue is about the same level of quality as the rest…
What do you guys like out of a Justice League story? I’m genuinely curious. Do you want a huge, sprawling adventure with high stakes and intense character drama? Do you want smaller stories with less pressure, allowing the characters to breathe? Do you prioritise any of these aspects in particular? What does the Justice League…
In Robert Venditti’s arc, Reign of the Supermen, I had a good time - but it was clear that I was questioning the purpose of the story, and why Venditti was dedicating his time on one of DC’s biggest books to write out an ultimately harmless and superfluous story. I liked it fine, but the…
