The New 52: Futures End #35

This issue once again had everything you would want in a comic. Highlights of the issue were definitely the diagnosis of Frankenstein's condition, and the intervention of Fifty Sue/ Sequel. While Jason and Madison's interactions seemed repetitive, it wasn't a big enough distraction too take away too much from the issue. Read Full Review

My one regret, of course, is that these three terrific characters cant simply be transported into the modern day DCU. We dont know whats to come after Convergence for DC, but my sincerest hope is that something launching involves one or more of these women, and by one of the terrific members of this large creative team. Theyve done a brilliant job of making me care. More of that next year! Read Full Review

The future is a dark and miserable place but man is it fun to read about!  Each of the stories this week were great and I love the direction that everyone is going..........Even the bits with Fifty Sue that I've been bitching about lately............ So yeah, I'm a fan of everything here and I can't wait to see what DC has in store for us with Futures End next year.  Go check it out and get your future fix. Read Full Review

When the three Batmen come together, the final act of the saga begins. They are the harbingers of multiple ends: the end of the world, the end of the future, the end of innocent and guilty life, and the end of the story. Whether that end is memorable or disappointing, this issue is the gateway that opens onto the final approach. Read Full Review

This week is full of plenty of action and, thanks to Fifty-Sue, some good laughs as well. The ending though…that's where the scene you've been waiting for arrives (the scene featuring the above quote). So go grab this issue! Read Full Review

It's a good issue provides more than the average amount of excitement and heart, especially for Futures End. Give me more issues like this and I'm a happy camper, but this series' track record of giving us multiple decent issues in a row is very poor. Here's hoping! Read Full Review

Overall, this issue wasn't what I would call spectacular, but it is definitely a step in the right direction for the series. Too bad its a little too late for Future's End to make any real changes. Read Full Review

"New 52: Futures End" #35 is certainly one of the better issues of the series to date, but with that in mind, it could have been a lot better. Will people looking for a new comic this week find this entrancing enough to stick around for the remainder of the series? It's hard to say. If they're fans of Firestorm, this could be a tipping point. Otherwise, this is for existing readers to enjoy. The good news is that, for them, this is definitely an installment they can get behind.

Combine all these together, and what you get is another forgettable issue of The New 52: Future's End. Which is a shame, because I really want to like this book: it's my kind of crazy, and it stars a bunch of characters that I really love and who have been missing from the main roster of DC heroes. However, the weekly distribution of the book and the writers' frustrating habit of never making the scenes and characters gel in any way at all keep this book from succeeding. Read Full Review

Holy $#!%!! This is what Futures End is all about. This is the best issue by far and it's not even close. Batman Beyond finally moves into action and we see some explosive scenes between Batman, Batman Beyond, and the Batman/Joker hybrid that's manipulated by brother eye. Ends on a cliffhanger but that's expected. The dialogue between Ray Palmer and Amethyst discloses information regarding S.H.A.D.E. and the impending conflict with Brainiac so it was very necessary. Also thank God for Lana Lang actually calling out 50 Sue for being an annoying murderous Psycho trapped in an 8 year old's body. Took 35 issues but hopefully it stays this good the rest of the way until Convergence.
