So that this review can be found with the other 52 reviews, I plucked it out of the week’s compiled reviews and gave it its own little home. “And gathering together countries like chess pieces to consolidate a power base that only serves to threaten your people and the rest of the world.” How does…
I am issuing an open challenge to everyone who reads this blog (which thankfully is a relatively low number in case this backfires): Go out to your local comic shop. Buy Eternals #1 and Eternals #2. Read them and enjoy them. If you don’t like them, send them to me and I’ll send you a…
In Week Six, Booster Gold visited Rip Hunter’s lab, only to find that the good man has gone plum insane and has also vanished without a trace. Amongst his mad scribblings on his chalkboard, Rip has left a note reading, “Who is the Batwoman?” She’s been shrouded in mystery ever since showing up in the…
I don’t think it’s out of line to say that Nightwing is by far the worst of the One Year Later titles. It just isn’t very good. She-Nightwing, a villain that eats people and then craps them out in a cocoon, and albino mob twins, topped off with a steaming dollop of bad characterization of…
…so now that I’ve finally seen Superman Returns, here are some thoughts. I thought what the movie did exceptionally well, first and foremost, to such a degree that the negatives didn’t bug me all that much, was present Superman as the lonely outsider. From his voyeurism to his silent hovering in space, the character’s relatively…
I think that may be my favorite moment in “52” so far. Granted, Black Adam has been nothing short of bad-ass throughout this thing, but that moment is absolutely brilliant. That aside, here’s the rundown on this issue. Clark Kent is fired from the Daily Planet for not being able to secure an interview with…
The Tick: Days of Drama #6 hit comic shops this week. It was a decent end to a decent mini-series. The series certainly wasn’t the best set of Tick comics and it certainly didn’t have the best artwork (oh, how I miss The Tick in black and white), but it was fun and always filled…
And I’m not going to title this post the goddamned Supergirl Problem. Maybe my level of expectation is too high, and it’s silly for me to be asking this question. I mean, over in Marvel, Wolverine spends 10 months either dead, zombified and killing for Hydra, or on a mission to take out Hydra in…
After hearing about Lex Luthor’s plot to create a procedure designed in order to turn regular saps into super heroes, we finally get a glimpse of what he’s capable of (other than turning John Henry Irons into actual steel). That’s right, folks, he can turn average people into a bunch of foolish looking tough guys…
After catching Superman Returns this weekend, the first movie that popped into my head to compare it to was Batman Begins. Now, I know that’s easy, just holding aloft the two new DC live-action efforts and saying they’re both good flicks. But there are plenty of similarities. For starters, both movies are the necessary rejuvenations…
