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…
The Superman/Batman series has been relaunched for the New 52, but with Batman's name first and an opening storyline that explores the DC Multiverse. "Cross World" rewinds the clock to an adversarial Batman and Superman who meet for the first time on an adventure into another dimension where they encounter different incarnations of themselves who represent…
The delay certainly hurt momentum, but Justice League #29 is a great issue for Cyborg and The Metal Men. Personally, I would love to see a "Cyborg & The Metal Men" comic once Forever Evil is finally over and done with because this group of characters is fun. All of the ingredients of a fun…
The current wave of Justice League graphic novels are a bit muddled because their issues intermingled during a crossover event called Trinity War and as a result JLA Volume 1, Justice League Dark Volume 4, and this book right here are all missing 4 chapters because if a particular chapter didn't feature the same title,…
It was an event that had been in the making since the very launch of the New 52. In September 2011, every #1 debut issue of DC's relaunch featured a Where's Waldo-esque appearance by a cloaked woman who we would later learn to be none other than the Pandora of Greek myth. Little was known…
The cover shows The Metal Men and that's precisely what you get when you open up Justice League #28. Yes, Cyborg shows up briefly to ask "Who are the Metal Men?" and "Where are they now?" but other than that the entire comic is told in flashback as we explore the New 52 origin of…
The latest issue of Justice League by Geoff Johns and a team of four artists is an oddly paced one that will be more rewarding for those who are well-versed in DC's less popular heroes. The comic begins with The Doom Patrol's Karma and Scott Fischer rummaging through the rubble of what used to be…
Issue #26 isn't just the backstory for Power Ring as many anticipated, it's a showcase of origin tales for Grid, Johnny Quick, Deathstorm, and other members of the Crime Syndicate as well and I think that gives you plenty of bang for your buck this Christmas Eve. Geoff Johns continues to leave the Justice League…
It's safe to say that the Justice League title isn't really about the Justice League anymore, but that in no way means that it's something you should skip. The main event is indeed Forever Evil and Justice League has been turned into supplemental material for that saga, but it is very good supplemental material that…
While I thought we might get more answers about what happened to the Justice League it seems that this series has an all new agenda of explaining the back story behind the members of the Crime Syndicate and if future installments are half as fun as then you'll get no complaint from me. Issue #24…
It's not really Secret Society #1, it's more like Owlman #1 or Outsider #1. But while it doesn't offer a whole lot in the Secret Society department it does give us a glimpse at what's sure to be a pretty big part of the next issue of Forever Evil and plenty of interesting things to…
Someone has sabotaged a U.S. naval weapons test and sparked a war with Atlantis. Now it's a race against the clock to not only find out who is responsible for the attack but to rescue the countless innocent lives that are in danger as an enraged Atlantis begins to sink coastal cities into the sea.…
How well you enjoy Justice League #23 hinges on whether or not you've had things spoiled for your already and how jaded you are by big events. This is a comic that's going to divide readers into two camps. There will be those who view it as an awesome comic because it has such a large…
Trinity War begins and after two years of hype this better be good! Note: If you want to know the full Trinity War reading list, I made one and you can read it by clicking HERE. Well, I can say that Justice League #22 is definitely an important comic to read if you're a DC…
If you've been keeping up with the Shazam back-up stories from the start and love them then this is a must-buy. If you haven't been reading those then I suggest you hold off and pick up the graphic novel when it goes on sale in a couple of months because it really has been a…
Judging by the cover, this looks like a big but predictable Justice League vs. Despero fight, right? Well, there's way more going on here than you might suspect. In fact, it's vital reading for fans of Justice League and Justice League of America (a very important read for that crowd) and a giant leap toward the…
It's a solid issue that portrays Batman surprisingly well. Not only do we spend quite a bit of time in the batcave, but we see Red Hood and Alfred discussing the recent events of Batman Inc. and we see a Batman who is level headed and acts as concerned friend toward Superman and Wonder Woman. The opening…
Awesome cover, eh? Shame Cyborg doesn't have his own book yet. The guy has easily been one of the most important members of the team in every arc so far. He has total access to all the world's intel, he's incredibly powerful, and he's basically the Justice League's bus. The boom tube effect is a…
So going into this I had a pretty good feeling that it would be better than Volume 1. I liked Volume 1, those stories didn't quite resonate with me as monthly issues but it worked really well in trade format. Looking back at The Villain's Journey, I felt as though I enjoyed those episodes more…
Whooooooooaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Although The Throne of Atlantis storyline wrapped up a lot sooner than I expected it definitely went out with a bang. Aquaman #16 Recap Now, I never got around to reading Aquaman #16 until a couple of days ago but in that issue we found out what became of Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman…
