“Transformers” is going to suck. Hard. We all know it, but we’re holding out some optimism that there will at least be a few bits in it that are somewhat salvageable. Here’s a news flash: There won’t be. Michael Bay is notorious for making loud, big budget, large-scale action flicks, so I guess he’s a…
So, Supernova’s working for Rip Hunter, for some reason. In Kandor. Under the watchful eye of Skeets. After collecting all sorts of stuff for whatever Rip’s working on. For some reason. We’ll get back to that. This week starts off out in space, where Lobo’s brought Animal Man and Starfire to Lady Styx’s throne room….
Waitaminute! That’s not the cover! The solicits lied to us! We’ve been duped! Remember that “Rain” we’ve been hearing about for the past few months, that’s supposedly coming to “52?” Well, if you take a look at the picture and replace all of the flames with falling Everymen, you now know what the Rain is…
Happy holidays, everybody. I’m a week behind on my “52” reviews, and I could very easily claim that I’ve been traveling, stuck in airports, celebrating with family, etc, but in the spirit of the season, I’ll just be honest and let you know that I’ve spent the better part of the past two weeks drunk…
For the Book of Doom this week, we decided, well, I decided, to take on Wonder Man #1, written by Peter David and drawn by Andrew Currie. Here’s the synopsis, thanks to Marvel.com: Meet Lady Killer – the dangerous assassin who comes head-to-head with the Avenger called Wonder Man! But Wonder Man doesn’t want to…
Is Ralph Dibny dead? It’s doesn’t seem plausible, since he’s interacted with so many characters throughout this series, but I think he’s either dead or going to die soon. He’s told that the end is written, and he wrote it himself, in the Ambassador Hotel in May. Remember, the first time we see him in…
Ralph Dibny knows. One of the bigger mysteries in “52,” the identity of Supernova, has been figured out by Ralph Dibny. We’ll get back to that. This week, well, heck, if you look at the cover, you’ll know just about as much as I do in regards to what’s going on out in space. Lady…

Welcome to this week’s recap of the current issue of “52.” I’m your party host for the evening. This week marks the thirtieth issue that’s shipped on time in a row of the fifty-two we’re eventually going to see. Just think about that. We’ve only got twenty-two issues left to go, and this whole thing…
In “Batman” #644, the conclusion to the “War Crimes” story-arc reveals that Doctor Leslie Thompkins could’ve saved the life of Spoiler, who died during the much lambasted mini-series “Wargames.” Instead, Dr. Thompkins let Spoiler die on the slab, hoping that her death would make Batman give up his war on crime, finally seeing that the…
