Blue Beetle (2023) #7

Mar 5, 2024

The current Blue Beetle creative team found a perfect way to honor Giffen by taking Jaime on a whirlwind tour of the DC Universe, past to future. Giving chances for other creators to come in and celebrate the late writer by visiting some touchstones one more time, but instead of giving into grief, this was a fun issue that reminds you of the joy of comics and character's impact. It's a perfect comic for fans to return to and a wonderful treat for the next generation to discover DC's history and Giffen's fingerprint on it.

Spider-Man: Spider's Shadow #1

Apr 12, 2021

This is looking to be a great story of the struggle of a good man as he has to fight his own dark inner impulses, and Chip inflicts some real torture on his main characters. There is also a write up after the story from Chip that just gives you a rundown of what to expect from this new era. Spider-Man: Spider's Shadow #1 is the perfect opener to this, and I really look forward to what else is coming from this new run of What If!

Wow! There is so much happening, but what's even wilder is the fallout! I am happy to have witnessed the journey of Thomas Wayne and the risk Bruce Wayne took, but there is so much more to explore, and I can't wait to see DC Comics' future. Terrific story by such a league of talent!

Wrapping up the nightmares of Hal Jordan and Sinestro makes for an entertaining look at what makes these two characters tick. Parallax is no longer a fearful issue for Hal, and when Sinestro is unsure of himself, he finds very polarizing sides to himself. Great wrap-ups that are entertaining and could play further in the main Green Lantern series.

The Green Lantern Season Two #11 is a great issue that revisits the wonderful travels that Grant and Liam have put Hal on, all the while setting up the pieces to continue Ultrawar. There are doubts presented to Hal being a Green Lantern, but the last pages show us a man with no ring and his back against the wall, still willing to face it all.

The ruse of Superman on Superman is just not enough to carry this issue and story arc any further. 10 months for this odyssey to complete is a big ask.

Jon has to deal with the all-too-real price of heroics sometimes, and you can tell that while he is Superman, he still has a lot of growing to do. It is a tough job to take on, and Jon is doing excellently, and I love that he is wise enough to recognize that he doesn't have to do it alone.
