Civil War is over. After ten months, multiple delays, countless tie-ins, plot twists, and online fanboy whimpering, the most popular crossover in comicdom over the past several years has come to its conclusion. Was it satisfying? Did it live up to the enormous amounts of hype behind it? Will it really change anything in the…
Nothing happens this week. Seriously. Week Forty-One is completely worthless and throw-away. Filler! I could take filler back in Week Thirteen, but this is the point where we’re supposed to be getting into the payoff that all of that filler once promised. For the sake of formality, though, I suppose we can all take a…
If you came looking for a fight, you came to the right place. Natasha, as we saw last week, is in trouble at Luthor Tower, and her uncle, John Henry Irons, knows about it. And he’s none too pleased. This week, he suits up (for the first time since, what, week five?) and takes the…
We get three big surprises in this week’s issue, but the problem is that all of the surprises leave you with the thought of, “Oh, cool, now what comes next?” In other words, it’s another week of groundwork laying. I’m all for that, I suppose, since we all know that the pay-off is coming real…
I think I like that cover. It’s fairly neat. For those of you paying attention, it’s time, once again, for the entire Legion to get together for a round-table discussion of an issue that came out this past Wednesday. This week’s pick is Wolverine #50, and, from what I’ve seen, it appears that we’re all…
“The Horsemen have come! The end is near!” So says the ticker on the cover of this week’s issue of “52.” We’re only shown three of the Four Horsemen, the harbingers of the apocalypse, as foretold in the Book of Crime, as built by Intergang’s group of captive mad scientists on Oolong Island. The fourth…
Although it may seem oxymoronic to have a mini-series entitled “Eternals,” Marvel has attempted to live up to the name by telling a six-part story in seven issues. I know it’s been about three months since the last issue came out, but, if you think back hard enough with me, the cover to that issue…
Hi there! Do you enjoy wasting money? Do you oftentimes find yourself sitting around your apartment or home, lighting dollar bills on fire just for kicks? If that’s the case, why, you had better hurry your butt on over to your local comic book shop and pick up this week’s newest “Marvel Comics Event,” titled,…
Last year saw the release of quite a few new movies based on comic books. On the one hand, you had the incredibly decent films like “V for Vendetta,” and on the other, we were left with quite disappointing fare in the likes of “Superman Returns” and “X3: The Last Stand.” When all was said…
This week opens at the exact moment that last week closed. I guess the scene takes place at the stroke of midnight. Supernova and Rip Hunter are in the bottle city of Kandor, and Skeets is waiting outside. Supernova grows in order to confront Skeets and hold him off for long enough so that Rip…
