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…
Batman Beyond #50 is a decent conclusion for Dan Jurgens’ largely impressive run. Much of that credit goes to the regular art team of Sean Chen, Sean Parsons, Chris Sotomayor, and Travis Lanham who are tasked with equal parts action and lower key dramatic scenes. Additionally, Jurgens’ script mostly returns to the series’ initial roots…
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…
There's a pretty popular joke about online recipes that I'm sure you've heard: before the author of said recipe actually shares the ingredient list and steps to make the specified dish, they write hundreds of words about their history with the recipe, their travels around the world to discover such a culinary delight, or their…
Coming fresh of the heels of Dark Nights: Death Metal, DC Comics is beginning 2021 with a line-wide event, stretching from January through February: DC Future State. Future State - presumably replacing DC's original 5G plans - will place the characters of the DC Universe into "futures both near and far", with a wide variety of new…
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…
I think one of the most interesting parts about my job so far has been discovering the nuances of pacing in a comic book. Twenty pages is, realistically, not a lot of space for a story to flourish. How many novels have you read that are twenty pages long? While we’ve seen some DC creators…
I wonder, how many of you guys play tabletop games? Dungeons and Dragons is, of course, the most popular of the bunch, though I’m also partial to Vampire: The Masquerade – if you can find a time to do it, they provide a fun mental exercise that puts you and a group of friends through…
God, these issues go by fast! I picked up this comic, ready to dive in and review its pros and cons, tackle the nuances of the book that might go unnoticed on first viewing… and the book was already over. You might attribute this to the book being really good, and an easy read that…
Okay, so I think I understand what Venditti is going for in this Justice League run. In this comic’s first 39 issues & change, Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV crafted an incredibly detailed mythos involving characters from within the DC Multiverse and beyond; as a result, many of the threats the League faced were…
It’s the end of Justice League #39. The team has lost a battle for the soul of the universe, and there looks to be little hope left for the future. In the eleventh hour, they are presented with one final option: a door to the salvation of reality itself. The Justice League, united in their…
