This week, another big story climaxes, and, for fans of Renee Montoya and the Question, it’s one heck of a climax. The week opens with Montoya and Nightwing on the hunt for the twice named daughter of Cain, aka Kate Kane, aka Batwoman. The duo rolls through a wide variety of Intergang thugs and monsters,…
If I’m going to spend thirty-six dollars on a twelve-part mini-series, I sure would like to feel like I’ve been told a decent story by the end of it all. The last thing I would want is for the final issue to end without any sense of real closure and a “To be continued” logo…
It’s a good week for those of you who want some loose ends tied up. With only five issues left, this week is a perfect time to wrap everything up before the big finale. Granted, they still need a week or two more to finish the wrapping, but you get the idea. So, what do…
This week, Black Adam arrives at Oolong Island, the desert island that’s home to the team of mad scientists who are responsible for unleashing the Four Horsemen on the Black Marvel Family, which resulted in the deaths of Isis and Osiris. They don’t exactly throw out the red carpet and send over the Welcome Wagon,…
Avenge us, indeed. After last week’s fight with the Four Horsemen, Black Adam sets out on the warpath, hunting for the Horseman of Death, who has found refuge in Bialya. He’s angry, he’s pumped, and he’s got murder on the brain. We’ll get to all this. This week opens at the funeral for the recently…
Welcome to this week’s Book of Doom round-table discussion. The book we chose this week is Captain America #25. When I made that decision, I had no idea what I was getting us into. For, y’see, this may be the most controversial, most talked about issue of a comic book that’s come out in the…
The solicitations for “52” during the month of March claim that, “Death and destruction reign supreme this month in the DCU.” Yeah, I guess you could say that. As usual, beware of spoilers. This week opens with Osiris’ powers returning to Black Adam and the discovery of what’s left of Amon’s corpse, picked fairly clean…
I was just surfing around on the Internets, and I found an interesting interview with director Zack Snyder, whose forthcoming take on “300” looks rather promising, and who’s also scheduled to direct the big-screen adaptation of Alan Moore’s “Watchmen.” Word is that they could begin filming as early as this summer. In the interview, there’s…
Spoiler Alert: I’m phoning this week in. Here’s what happens: Animal Man’s creators patch him up and leave him back on the asteroid where they found him. Without the ability to absorb any animal powers around him, he reaches as hard as he can for one last shot, fusing with Sun-Eaters, which gives him the…
This week’s issue “concludes” the Ralph Dibny/Helm of Fate storyline. Other than that, Renee Montoya sees her reflection sans a face. But, really, the main thing we’re here for is Dibny’s story, and it doesn’t disappoint. Much. Y’see, I’m somewhat torn over this conclusion. Having Felix Faust be the villain behind this entire Helmet of…
