jp83 reviewed Harley Quinn #8 Jul 31, 2014
7.5

The art was enjoyable, and I liked seeing Harley with her hammer again. But this also drug out the assassin story line for another issue rather than moving along. While some of the poop jokes were well worth a chuckle (Gnu 52!!!), others felt like they were just abusing the gag. I'm still enjoying the series, but I found myself looking forward to the next issue more than enjoying the current one. more

jp83 reviewed Red Lanterns Annual #1 Jul 31, 2014
8.5

Charles Soule has quietly crafted a narrative that makes a very unexpected character the focus of a great ongoing gag and the most emotional moment of this issue. Soule's run has given people that wanted to like a Red Lanterns book many reasons to like it.

The finale to this story should be great, and there are several moments in this issue that increase the anticipation to read what c more

Red Lanterns Annual #1

By: Charles Soule, Miguel A Sepulveda
Released: Jul 30, 2014

Atrocities cranks the action up to eleven! Guy Gardner fought hard to get Space Sector 2814 including Earth under Red Lantern protection. So of course Atrocitus has chosen Guys homeworld as the arena for their murderous final battle! Red Lanterns will die! Traitors will emerge (and maybe die)! Rivers will run red! Its the first-ever RED LANTERNS ...

A nice debut for a different title from DC. I enjoyed the art, which is unique among the rest of the DC lineup I've seen lately. I also enjoyed that it was setting up an interesting plot and allowing characters to develop through the story. Since it is a zombie title, there were some wonderfully disgusting moments. But it also had some enjoyable humor as well. I would recommend people check this o more

While a step down for this series, it's still a cut above a lot of other books you could get. In the year (already?!?) of post-Johns Lantern books, this issue is a slight bump in an otherwise enjoyable road.

Red Lanterns #33

By: Charles Soule, Alessandro Vitti
Released: Jul 23, 2014

"Atrocities" kicks into gear - the epic that the last year of RED LANTERNS has been building to all along! It's open war between Atrocitus and Guy Gardner - and there's a powerful squadron of Red Lanterns on each side! But Guy Gardner could never have imagined what Atrocitus has been planning all this time... And he couldn't imagine that one of his...

This is a great closing to the Zero Year, and provides an explanation of what Zero Year even means. It's a great display of Batman matching wits in a final confrontation with the Riddler. But the highlight for me were two great Alfred moments. If you dropped out after Death of the Family, you truly missed something great!

Batman #33

Its been one hell of a year in Gotham City, and it all comes down to this: Batman vs. The Riddler! Gotham City and the Dark Knight will never be the same! Dont miss this special, extra-sized finale of Zero Year!

Continues to build to a great confrontation between the two factions. Supregirl's moments with Guy seemed inevitable. (I hope she is used to snap Saint Walker out of his funk, but that's another story) The Ratchet mention was great! Another impressive entry from an unbelievably turned around book!

Had a couple references to things from other books that I wasn't up to speed on, but nothing that was too difficult to catch onto pretty quick. Also, Turn your hat around Clark. You are a grown man and look ridiculous like that. A promising start that does a nice job introducing a character I want to know more about. Not much more can be asked of a new creative team debut!
