Rob Kitchen Comic Reviews

Action Comics Annual #3 is good issue, but it's flaws ultimately weigh it down. The questionable structure and the mix of artists keep it from being what it could have been given Greg Pak's scripting.

Batwoman #34 is an issue that will be loved by some and hated by others. Despite this, from a technical standpoint, it's a solid issue that continues Andreyko's stellar character development of Kate Kane while establishing a new status quo.

Batwoman: Futures End #1 is Marc Andreyko's best issue of his run on the title. It successfully creates an outstanding and fresh dynamic between Kate and Beth Kane, as well as tease an exciting new status quo for the title. Complete with art from Jason Masters and Guy Major, this is a Futures End tie-in issue that shouldn't be missed.

Deadly Class #7 maintains the high standard that this team set in the first arc. With all these outstanding elements coming together, it's a great way to return to this twisted concept.

Overall, Earth 2 #27 manages to keep the quality of the series despite its odd change in status quo. Solid character work from Taylor and Bennett and artwork from Smith, Scott, To, Hanna and Pantazis keep the series something worth reading, especially for those who are reading Earth 2: World's End.

Overall, Earth 2: Futures End is okay issue that does a terrific job of characterizing Michael Holt and has solid art. The narrative transitions and odd design choices make the issue difficult to understand, and ultimately, difficult to recommend to anyone who isn't a fan of the pre-New 52 Mr. Terrific.

Gail Simone and Freddie Williams II cap off the first eight issues ofThe Movement with an epic conclusion that successfully and satisfungly wraps up everything the series has been building toward. For being a huge risk from DC, this series deserves more attention than it's getting and stuff like this proves it.
