Action Comics (2011) #18 |
Mar 21, 2013 |
To be honest, I'd like to see Sholly take the main writing responsibilities of Action Comics with Chris Sprouse on art. Rags Morales is great, but Sprouse is superb. However, I'm delighted to see Morrison off the flagship comic of DC. This title started off well, but in no way is it one I'd recommend to any new comers to comics in it's current form. It's inaccessible and almost impossible to read. Thank goodness for Fisch redeeming it at the very end. |

Monets paintings were awesome, filled with incredible lifeit wasnt just about the water lilies! This same philosophy can and should be implemented into storytelling, and Robinson never seemed to grasp onto that. Brad Meltzer gave this series such an amazing start. It really pains me to see that the League had to end in such a way before the DC reboot. |

I was kind of bored with the bulk of this issue. Superman and Doomsday have been going head to toe with no end in sight. At least his life long feud with Luthor has some life too it, Doomsday just keeps doing the same thing over and over again, and its boring! With the few minor golden moments, it doesnt really help this issues sturdinessor lack thereof. |

However, I wasn't able to keep my eyes open long enough to finish the issue in one sitting…and that's saying something for me! Because of that I simply can't give #8 a very high rating.

Superboy (2011) #19 |
Apr 15, 2013 |
I shouldn't hate on this Super-installment too much, it follows the typical storytelling pattern well even with all of the jargon being flung in. The art has definitely gotten better, getting away from the ridiculous visual shout-outs to the stiff-looking manga art style. I guess I'm a bit annoyed with how Lobdell has decided to weave things through – calling Superboy the son of Lois and Clark, even though he technically isn't, and poorly using a villain who's treatment within DC's line of teen books hasn't been stellar. If you're looking for a book that doesn't require a lot thinking, but does do a “fine” job at going from point A to point B, you'll be satisfied with this issue. As for me, I seriously might be crossing Superboy off my pull list before next month. |

Im not trying to say Johns and Lee are awful, I love their work, but I feel their styles havent really gotten into the new feel of the rebooted DC Universe.

Despite all of the strange happenings, inconsistencies, and multiple moments of eyebrow raising weirdness, I still had fun reading. Superboy started off well, then hit rock bottom. Now it's on its way back up, and I'm more hopeful of Superboy's shelf life now than I was two issues ago. |

I was worried for a chunk of the issue, but the last eight pages brought back the way it should be, giving Wonder Woman an ending worthy of her character. Though it may suffer due to its connection with the poorly planned out story arc, Ill take this issues last few pages as a sign that DC apologizes for what transpired for fourteen issues. |

Im still a little iffy about this title as of right now, but if Paul Jenkins and David Finch pull through and deliver something truly refreshing, I might just stick with it. |

They aren't a team, they don't really like each other, and feel much more drawn towards their personal responsibilities rather than the the assumed collective responsibilities as the League. However, they can't refuse the acceptance as it's a free ticket into the hearts of the people. Thus will follow the fantastic potential of great character building stories and team building adventures! I'll definitely be coming back for more to see how Johns builds this team into somethings bold and daring! |

Of course, I wasn't even sure how this was ONLY Wonder Woman's fight as she stated multiple times. I guess I was simply waiting patiently for the reasoning behind this arc other than setting Wonder Woman's "New 52" character up. Nothing in this arc set the stage for futureentanglementswith Hades. It's only Strife that has a future in Wonder Woman's list of potential returning villains, and she was the one I had hoped would never come back at all. Oh well.The art is gorgeous.

So, theres nothing really wrong with this issue, its just not modeled for me. The end of a world kind of story which turns into Kyles Green Lantern birth has already been told, so lets get through all that stuff and get to the juicy NEW stuff. But for the sake of the newer readers, Ill force my way through it and hope for the best! |

Nov 30, 2011 |
So far, New Guardians is very enjoyable, definitely the BETTER of the Green Lantern titles thus far, without a doubt. I just want the Guardians to go already! Kick them out! push them out of the window! feed them to the dirt and shove them off this mortal (or immortal) coil! Lets get on with it!!! |

Justice League (2011) #4 |
Dec 26, 2011 |
Even though there's nothing new being brought to the League as of yet, I still feel as if I can give #4 a high rating. When Brad Meltzer took over the League a few years ago, I remember calling it “the best Justice League origin story in comics history.” But now we are at the reboot where an origin story has been presented for a new set of readers. What a powerful way to get newbies excited for comics on a monthly basis! |

Overall this was a good issue, a great way to catapult into the next arc as well as giving new meaning to both Dick and Barbara's life. But, as much as IappreciatedHiggins bringing in a new love life for Dick, with this much sexual tension building up with all the Bat-titles, I suspect Dick and Babs aren't entirely done with each other. |

But this go 'round his seems to be taking extra care and finally writing a story worthy of the character. |

I like that the Jokerincidentin paralyzing Barbara is still within the DC continuity, but I'm not sure how this is going to work out in the long run without becoming too confusing or frustrating.

This comic is on the verge of being one of DC's BETTER books, but it's still timid and playing it safe enough to the point where it just hasn't broke out in excellence like Suicide Squad, Swamp Thing, Action and Detective Comics have. However, Batgirl has reached my "4 issue" trial period and is definitely staying on my pull list. I can't wait to see how Barbara's story behind her mysterious recovery is unveiled and how she uses her new found strength in the future. |

I always love it when Superman is given a new twist on his powers, or when we learn something new about Superman that we assumed wouldn't change. Superman, while not necessarily being unchained in the way the title means it, is something slightly new an refreshing. How often can we say that about multiple titles involving the same main hero? Batman, Spider-Man, and even Superman. All their respective titles don't hold up to the name. Superman Unchained does show potential in giving us a Superman title which has the potential of being very different from the other Super books. And I look forward to what this title, and Scott Snyder, can bring to the table. |

There is a similarity between this story and Grant Morrison's “Batman, R.I.P.” As this arc has progressed, the reviews have been flooded with how Snyder is simply copying what Morrison did with One of DC's better selling event miniseries. However, Snyder's take on basically the same story isn't muddled with confusing dialog, contrived plot lines, and non-existent consistency. Of course, this will be a hard issue to pick up for those of you who haven't been following Batman since issue #1, but I wouldrecommendthat everyone start picking up this series next month because it is a DOOZY!

While I still firmly believe Batman will prevail, winning this fight against the Court, this arc has certainly put a new perspective on his infallibility. So long have we been under theassumptionthat Batman knows all the inner workings of every major crime syndicate in the history of the world, and now we are faced with the realization, and a threat that even perplexes Batman, almost causing him to loose his mind. I know some people are getting tired of the Court of Owls, but I say bring them back often, they are definitely a team built on annoymity that I will always enjoy reading about. |

Batman (2011) #18 |
Mar 14, 2013 |
All in all, this is one Hell of an issue. I understand the way DC works and it's hard to create stories without falling back on past story arcs. However, it would be nice to see more issues like this. |

Batman and Robin (2011) #8 |
Apr 20, 2012 |
It took eight issues, but it's eight issues well worth it. Tomasi has set the tone of the dynamic duo, giving them life and a new purpose as a team. Maybe they'll start working together and not always bickering at each other. Working with a family member can be difficult, but with the heart felt conversations filled with tears and hugs, Batman and Robin might just be ready to start a new. |

Batwoman (2010) #2 |
Oct 16, 2011 |
Every page seems to be different from the next, holding onto different color schemes on each one its 20 pages. It goes from bright and exciting colors, to faded and dull color schemes, all of which are appropriate for the mood Williams wants to set for specific scenes. All of this combined with the mysterious and spooky storyline has me wondering if this title will become one of my favorites in DC's new line of titles". |

Batwoman (2010) #4 |
Dec 21, 2011 |
There's so much to look forward to and the potential is just building up with every issue. It seems everyone Kate Kane knows is working against her alter-ego, which could turn into a very bad situation if Kate's secret identity is discovered. This just might be one of the stickiest situations a superhero has ever been in. She has nothing gain, and everything to loose. Fingers crossed that Flamebird doesn't die off, otherwise she might not have any friends. |

Catwoman (2011) #1 |
Sep 27, 2011 |
This is an appropriate representation Catwoman. She doesnt seem very different in how her character is represented, but more so in her motives, desires, and needs. Catwoman should be shown as a lively person who thrives under the thrill of dangeras well as getting very excited by it all. With all of this, however, Judd Winick adds in a bit of sympathy intermingled with it all. And I suspect that this sexually driven title will emerge into something bigger and better than it already is in future issues. |

There is so much going on with this title right now, and its only been two issues. THIS is the Catwoman DC Comics NEEDS to have in its repertoire. The one from the Sirens was good, but the rebooted Catwoman has so much more life and energy to her. Keep up the good work Judd and Guillem, youre doing one Hell of a job! |

Detective Comics (2011) #1 |
Sep 13, 2011 |
This is my kind of comic! It contains the right amount of heroics, horror, violence, and thought provoking plot progression and my senses were tickled beyond anything I could imagine. Tony Daniel is the BEST writer and artist for Batman in the history of the character. Please DC, keep everyone else away from Detective Comics and leave Daniel on this title for as long as you can! |

Flashpoint: Project Superman #2 |
Aug 8, 2011 |
So how much of what is happening in Flashpoint will transcend into the DCnU's version of Superman and how much will stay behind. If this origin story sticks around, I truly think I'm going to enjoy the upcoming Superman reboot. |

I, Vampire #1 |
Oct 3, 2011 |
In ConclusionIll be honest, I wasnt expecting much out of this issue; I assumed it was going to be nothing more than a twilight fan hitch to draw in readers who enjoy very bad story telling. Instead, I got a gaggle of amazing and fantastically written sets of dialog as well as wonderfully disturbing artwork. I am a happy lover of gothic literature and comic books! |

Justice League (2011) #1 |
Sep 8, 2011 |
I wont lieI loved #1! I think Johns set it up in the best possible way. Im excited to see how Cyborg integrates into the League and how the rest of the members make their way into the ranks. Plus, Darkseids inevitable coming is going to be an exciting moment! Looking forward to it |

Justice League (2011) #3 |
Nov 21, 2011 |
Whatever the case may be, Darkseid is certainly coming in full throttle and without mercy…and the team couldn't be LESS prepared. Much like what Dwayne McDuffie and James Robinson tried to do with the League before the reboot, (and failed) Johns and Lee are bringing a team together and allowing them to grow as a unit. There'll be punches thrown, and obviously leadership issues, but this is going to turn into something truly great and memorable! |

If I were to take a guess, Geoff Johns is setting up a more realisticviewpointof the League. These aren't perfect heroes who hold to the same sense of Justice and honor the ones we knew before the reboot did. Rather this is a group of Heroes have a lot to learn…and that promises for some fine reading material! |

Secret Six Vol. 2 #34 |
Jun 4, 2011 |
Once again, Simone and Calafiore produce a flawless installment of the Secret Six. It's one of the saddest moments for me in my comic book collecting career, however, to hear of its inevitable cancellation due to the DCU reboot. I can't say I'm happy about this decision as it pushes my favorite comic out the door to make way for"something else. But, while I still have time, I'm going to enjoy the ending arc that I'm sure Gail has planned starting next month. Gail, you are an amazing writer! |

Secret Six Vol. 2 #36 |
Aug 8, 2011 |
I can't end this review any better than by simply thanking Creator, Gail Simone, and artist J. Calafiore for bringing the greatest superhero comic book series in history into the hands of readers like me. As much as I wish that the Secret Six was a part of the new 52, I think I can rest easy with this ending and let go. I've come to terms with the ending and needn't any reboot nor revamping. They went out in the best way possible. |

Suicide Squad (2011) #1 |
Sep 17, 2011 |
Of course, Im going to have trouble NOT comparing this to the greatest super villain comic ever made, the Secret Six. Gail Simone gave that title what it needed in order to still be qualified as a bad guy book, while maintaining a certain, twisted sense morality and family loveIm wondering if this new Suicide Squad can do something to help give its readers something to relate and hold onto, much like the Secret Six did. But as of right now, Im hooked and looking forward to whats coming next month more than any other title thats come out thus far! |

Superboy (2011) #1 |
Sep 17, 2011 |
The characters are all very segregated emotionally; Superboy locked away in his chamber, Ms. Red (as Superboy calls her) is seemingly of a different mindset than the rest of her colleagues, and the rest of the characters all seem at odds with the entire project. There isnt a lot to hold onto which makes this comic unemotionally emotional. (I know, I phrase things strangely.) There is a huge emotional disconnect that causes so much angst and darkness within the story that you wonder if any happiness will ever come over anyone! Dont allow that to turn you off as the story is incredibly well written and planned out. Its refreshingly new and different with the right amount of darkness to keep my twisted senses alive and kicking! |

Theres so much going on with this first issue that anyone who reads it wont know how to take it initially. My recommendation is to simply enjoy issue #1 and let everything unfold as it may. Theres more coming and Im stoked about what Snyder has planned. Oh, and no matter what Alan Moore may say about this reboot of his iconic and horrifying character, this is a great start to a one of DCs most terrifying comic book characters. |

T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #7 |
May 22, 2011 |
There are those who get frustrated by a comic that decreases the level of dialog for the sake of having great art. Personally I don't mind it provided that the art is stellar, which it is. The fact that Colleen gets no more than two pages worth of stage times didn't bother me as more will develop in the coming issues. But no doubt, T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents has become one of my favorite comic book series, right after Secret Six. |

The Movement #1 |
May 1, 2013 |
Simone is a master of creating characters we can immediately invest in. We've been trusting her for this long and sheseldomwrites anything that doesn't get your blood pumping. Taking the theme of cop brutality andcorruptionand bringing in a team of young heroes daring enough to put stop to it is a much needed topic to be addressed. Now we'll see how far the corruption goes and if the Movement can do anything about it. |

No lies, the Sandman series is strange. Even Neil Gaiman will admit to that. But it's brilliantly written and artistically flawless. The only negative thing I have to say about this issue is how I have to wait until late December before I can read the second chapter. |

When it comes to getting a new writer, new arc, new artist, or even simply rebooting a character, Wonder Woman is the one I worry about the most. If I was forced to choose only ONE comic book to pick up on a monthly basis, Id choose Wonder Woman. So it goes without saying that Im very particular about what writers and artists do to her. Im very happy to see that Azzarello and Chiang are starting this series off well, and I look forward to seeing what they do in the next year! |

Wonder Woman (2011) #3 |
Nov 30, 2011 |
I'm certainly enjoying this reboot. Three issues in and I'm sold on this title even more than I am on Suicide Squad. I'm not sure why this title was qualified as a horror comic as the last two issues weren't really thathorrifying. There's so much more content in this title than the typical horror comic. Not that horror comics aren't substantial, but there is a significant difference between Wonder Woman's run vs. other horror comics. |

This title however, as it is currently, isn't for everyone. Brian Azzarello has always been a writer who brings in a 50/50 percentage vote…you either like him, or you hate him. I've always enjoyed his stories, and his work on Wonder Woman right now is worth it's weight in blood! |
