Convergence #1
Apr 11, 2015 |
That being said, I think it’s fair to note that the general consensus on the main Convergence event is currently lukewarm at best and as someone who legitimately enjoys these humongous, often over-the-top events, I have to agree. After reading every issue of Superman: Doomed, Earth 2: World’s End, & Futures End, I expected a lot from the Convergence storyline but at the end of issue #1, I still feel confused and bored. On the other hand, and I know I’m not alone in this either, the artwork is phenomenal. Brainiac is the most terrifying I’ve ever seen him and the different iterations of him in Convergence #0 were translated from their source material with expert precision. Shout out in particular to the DCAU Brainiac who looks absolutely stellar. All said and done, I do have high hopes for the series as it still is very early on. For now though, I remain unimpressed by all but the art. |

Convergence #2
May 4, 2015 |
Once again, the main Convergence event falls flat in everything but its art. I said it in my last review and I’ll say it again, Convergence has some of the industry’s best linework and colors with an exceptionally modern version of more classic comic art. That being said, it doesn’t redeem the complete snorefest that is Convergence. Despite the poor quality of the series thus far, I really hope DC turns it up a notch. With the (mostly) excellent tie-ins like Convergence: The Question and Convergence: Superman, it’d be a damn shame for the main event to be a total wash. |

Wonder Woman (2011) #40
Apr 2, 2015 |
A treasure of my pull box since day one, Wonder Woman has been one of most consistently enjoyed series since I started reading comics. My hope is that Meredith stops pulling punches and brings the quality of the book back up to its former glory. I gleam hints of her true ability as a writer every time I read Wonder Woman but as of #40 there’s still something missing. |

Spider-Gwen #3

Latour hit his groove in the very first issue and continues to deliver plot and dialogue without any hiccups. Rodriguez’s excellent line work and Renzi’s vibrant pinks, purples, and greens are reminiscent of Snyder & Capullo's Batman in the best possible way. The art and writing work together to pull you in and effortlessly lead you from panel to panel. From start to finish, it’s fresh, engaging, and an overall blast to read. |

All-New Captain America: Special #1
May 8, 2015 |
Inhuman Error overall has fun, often silly writing and complimentary, eclectic artwork, all of which makes for an excellent story. While my ratings are typically for the issue in question, consider my rating for All-New Captain America #1 as a rating for Inhuman Error as a whole. If you love a humorous, action-packed comic book as any Marvel fan should, you NEED to pick up these three issues. |

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #2

My only gripe with the issue was its lengthy stay in production hell. That said, with the newly established Archie Horror imprint, I can’t see it being problematic in the future. |
