It took me a second to figure out who you were referring to. I initially thought Alan Rickman? Really? That's interesting. Then I realized you meant Alan Ritchson which makes WAY more sense.
Skybound's meticulous reintroduction of G.I. Joe IP into the Energon Universe reaches its culmination with Joshua Williamson and Tom Reilly's electrifying debut issue. Building upon the foundations laid by recent miniseries Duke, Cobra Commander, Scarlett, and Destro, G.I. Joe #1 masterfully weaves together plot threads that have been expertly laid out on the chessboard over the past year, propellmore

Man, the energon universe is really, really good. If you are thinking about picking this up... Do it. It is fantastic. If you were a fan of the cartoon you will absolutely love this book. It's a good start to a story, and it'll be really cool to see when GI Joe and Cobra really go at it! The way they are introducing everything is briliant in my opinion. I really like the art as well. This is amore

As a stand alone comic it worked superbly well with outstanding homages to the decades that have made Batman the greatest hero of them all. When book ended by issue 1 and what looks a very tempting issue 3 spoiler at the end , then I would say this is the Batman I want going forward. This is how Bruce , Selina with Gordon could really be the next incarnation of the world's greatest detective......more

Snyder & Dragotta are Killing It!!! I really like the story. I like how new it feels, but also feels like Batman. The story is sound, and it feels like a Batman story. As I'm reading this, all I can see in my head is Alan Ritchman as Batman in this. Let's talk about the fantastic art as well. It works so well! I'll be going over this in my podcast, Lunchbreak Reviews," and probably talk abomore

I would pay good money to hear Alan Rickman delivering some of Batman's iconic lines.
Nice art, continuation of a cynical trend I hate. Mainly taking morally good characters and deconstructing them to make them “human.” By That I mean taking good guys and making them creeps. Thomas Wayne has gone from a good man who became a doctor instead of sitting on his trust fund to a guy who cheats on his wife while ignoring her because he cares too much about his career.

this was a good issue, I really like how Batman actually uses detective work and uses a microscope and analyzes everything in the human body. It's so nice seeing Batman being mroe grounded and use his big old detective brain to solve mystery instead of fighting a robot in the multiverse. We need a more grounded take on Batman, and I like how Zdarsky puts in politics in an organic way.

I agree with you on this one! I hope you don't mind if I read your review on my podcast. It's called Lunchbreak Reviews, and I've been doing several comics lately,
I don't mind that, in fact I'm grateful and honored that you read my answer on the podcast
this issue builds well on the previous one. it's good to see Batman actually doing some detective work again. there's a lot of different threads and is fascinating to see how they are gradually been woven together. I'm looking forward to seeing what the outcome is. I have to say that the ending was a bit confusing. I still don't understand what was going on

I love a great Mystery for Batman to solve. This one here is pretty good, as there are several that Batman needs to figure out. Who killed the Mayor? Who is Commander Star? What does Edward Nygma & the Court of Owls have to do with it? i really enjoy Chip's Batman, and I've been a fan of Jorge Jimenez's are for a long time now. If I have to give some critisim on this one, is I felt it ran long, anmore

Thanks for the like. I appreciate when people who may disagree overall with my review respect my point. Have a great day.
First off, Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval did not dissapoint. This is a great new take on the mythos of Superman. I think this is a perfect time to release something like this. I felt that this is the Superman that I have wanted to get behind for a long time now. There was enough of the Man of Steel that we have grown accustom too, but there are so many more layers as well. Don't even get me starmore

As much as I loved the Williamson run, we all knew that he would be handleing Ollie over as soon as he could find someone worthy of running this title. This is one of those books that you just got to read and enjoy. The aftermath of Absolute Power is something I am very interested in. You really get a look inside Olivers head in this issue. I am a big fan of the conversation that he has with Batmore

A masterful transition for the character that takes him from his recent multiverse-traveling, time-traveling, reincarnated superheroing self back to a street-level, social justice crusader operating in the shadows, possibly like we saw in the Mike Grell days. The character, and the book, are in good hands. This is the most excited I’ve been for the character in 35 years!

This was a subtle reminder that this is turning the page with a new creative team. I was a fan of Tom Taylor, but found myself really enjoying Dan Watters go around. I'm looking forward to where this story is going to go. The dialog felt witty just like I love from my Dick Grayson. The banter between him and Oracle was great! I would continue to collect Nightwing anyway, but this issue was greamore
