Fine start to a new series. A little confusing to start but it gets you up to speed really quick and ends as it should setting all to come up. The art is fantastic and the magic battle is a sight to behold. Looking forward to more.
Zatanna #1
Zatanna Zatara embarks on her greatest tour yet! As the newest and first Prime Magus in millennia, it is now Zatanna’s sworn responsibility to oversee and guide the world of magic. All eyes are on her. How will she accomplish this grand task? How will she shoulder this heaviest of responsibilities? How will she confront the horrors waiting in forgo...
Well that was a mess of an anti climactic ending with “God” giving birth and all of this was contractions. Like really. Ok that was a lot of smarty pants esoteric jargon to get to that inane villain. Glad it’s finally over. It took me twice as long to read then issues in a month. Whew. I think I had contractions reading it and that would be something as I don’t have the body parts but it sure made more
Flash #13
BARRY ALLEN RACES FOR HIS LIFE! Barry Allen has been to the ends of the Multiverse and back. Now, he runs into a danger unlike any he's ever encountered, as the fate of not only the Speed Force, but all heroes, hangs in the balance. Barry's Life Story flashes before his eyes as he begins his most important race ever.
The Namor story is really weak. I just can never stand Namors petulant rage. It’s very childish and really hurts the character. The Hulk may be “dumb” but he seems so much smarter than Namor even when he rages as at least it’s justified. This just reeks of stupidity. The Hulk story is fun. Lots going on and Boomerang is so bad he’s good in his intro and look. But there’s enough Hulk carnage to kee more
Tales to Astonish #81
The Secret Empire has hired Boomerang for a very special job...
Not really an ending just the last issue of this volume. The plot moves and it’s not as good as some other issues but it gets the job done to get us to a new number 1. Why? Cause that’s modern comics for you. Anyhow the characters are still good.
Strange Academy #18
Platitudes get thrown around a lot in these pages, but if you've been reading STRANGE ACADEMY, you know we don't mess around. So listen up.
AFTER THIS ISSUE, THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AT STRANGE ACADEMY.
Seriously, you do not want to miss this issue that is going to destroy you emotionally and destroy the school beyond recognition....
Decent enough ending that just flies by. Though the moon getting obliterated will have some really interesting effects on Earth. Overall if like really brainless carnage then this series is for you. Otherwise I’d steer clear.
Predator Kills The Marvel Universe #5
The Predators launched their bloody war with surprise and success - and now Earth's survivors have mounted their defense, which includes specially outfitted Iron Man armor, a vibranium arsenal, a weapon called Predator X and a whole lot of heart. Will our planet be reduced to a hunting reserve? Find out in this final, epic showdown!
A step up from the last issue only in that the hero’s or I should say everyone’s favorite killer mutant gets to go to town so at least that’s cool in one sense. But Thors death is mind numbing and dumb but hey he had to go cause you know a God would wipe out everything so yeah gravity bullet that somehow lodges and doesn’t go through him. I get it it had to be done in someway but for me this could more
Predator Kills The Marvel Universe #4
Vibranium Wars! In this time of death and crisis, Black Panther and the Wakandans open up their isolated nation to join the fight against the Predator incursion. They've faced these hunters before - and they have wartime tactics and a vibranium arsenal of their own to share...
This arc has made me slow so low on The Flash. It feels like infinity to get through. Will the pain and head inducing hallucagen of a comic finally go out in its misery and get back to being The Flash.
Flash #12
The Arc Angles have gathered their forces and are ready to bring forth the new age they seek. But the Flash Family is gathered for a final stand while still dealing with public unrest and Waller's forces. Will it be enough to stop the Arc Angles' will? Well, the Resident and Linda have come to an epiphany, and have to risk everything to get to Wall...
Long drawn out book that shows the Rogues helping out weird cosmic beings that just meanders and feels so sluggish and slow. It’s really ironic considering the hero as you could call this The Sloth.
Flash Annual: 2024
With Wally West M.I.A., Central City needs help dealing with all the bizarre new threats that have arisen, so thankfully, Wallace West, Avery Ho, and Circuit Breaker are here to help. But can they count on Barry Allen, who is having a crisis of his own?
Nice start up to a different take on the Flash Universe. I love the mystery and the Rogues new look. Can’t wait to see how this unfolds.
Absolute Flash #1
JEFF LEMIRE AND NICK ROBLES SPEED INTO THE ABSOLUTE UNIVERSE! Without the mentor...without the family...without the Speed Force, what's left is the Absolute Scarlet Speedster!
Not a bad ending. Wall to wall action that was fun with some snappy dialogue. Overall each issue got better but still lots you have to overlook to get to this point but the ending overall was good.
Absolute Power #4
BARE-KNUCKLE BRAWL FOR THE POWER OF THE DCU! As the last remaining resistance fighters fight tooth and nail on the bloody island of Gamorra, Batman and Superman find themselves at bitter odds! Amanda Waller has come too far to give up now--it's time to call in the reinforcements...from beyond the multiversal veil?! The fate of our heroes--and the f...
The art is still fantastic and the story has hit its stride but due to the 4 issues only certain elements are truncated to cram it all in at the detriment of the story.
Absolute Power #3
THE LAST STAND OF PARADISE ISLAND! Our heroes are on the run following the Trinity of Evil's devastating attack on the fortress of Solitude! With Superman's headquarters in ruin and the super-powers on planet earth in the clutches of Amanda Waller, Failsafe and the Brainiac Queen...is this the end of the line? No way--the resistance lives on! Using...
A step up from the first issue but still some plot holes but in all a better paced less convoluted issue.
Absolute Power #2
In the aftermath of Amanda Waller's total victory, the metahumans of the DC universe have been depowered, scattered to the wind, and are reeling from critical defeat across the planet. But the resistance lives on. Any heroes not rounded up by the TRINITY OF EVIL have rendezvoused at Superman's Fortress of Solitude...but even this sanctuary of peace...
The good. The art is fantastic. The bad. How can you steal magic or Superman’s powers which essentially come from his kinesiology and the sun not from a meta gene. How do you displace the Flash with emp like robot stuff from the Speed Force. The central premise is very convoluted for Amanda getting the upper hand. I’d had like more build to that moment but now it either must be or built backwards more
Absolute Power #1
THE TRINITY OF EVIL HAS WON. DC's epic summer event kicks off with a bang, as the combined might of FAILSAFE and the BRAINIAC QUEEN has at last given Amanda Waller the ability to steal the metahuman abilities of every hero and villain on planet Earth. As chaos erupts in the streets and a massive misinformation campaign sways public opinion to her s...
The artwork is amazing. The story is good from a Stargirl standpoint to celebrate 25 years. Not much going on but it has nostalgia galore. It’s sweet and sentimental in a very schmatzy good way but it’s not mind blowing. But man the panels are amazing.
Justice Society of America #12
As the team picks up the pieces from their last battle, Stargirl looks to the future and what it means to be a member of the first super-team! Don't miss the final issue of this star-studded run!
Interesting to see the first Sucide Squad. Not as fun as the villains version but still a fun sci-fi book. Love also that the monster is very Godzilla inspired. Overall fun read if rather basic.
The Brave and the Bold #25
"THE THREE WAVES OF DOOM!" Featuring the first appearance of the Suicide Squad!
When a mysterious wave emitting an ungodly amount of heat heads toward shore, the military is all out of options, so they decide to bring in a new team to handle the situation: the Suicide Squad!
Entertaining if somewhat Dues Ex Machina story where somehow The Elongated Man is faster then the Fastest Man Alive. It makes zero sense to Flash’s powers but the story is amusing when looking past that ginormous plot hole. The Kid Flash story is fun if on the nose.
Flash #112
Featuring the first appearance of the Elongated Man! Elongated Man comes to Central City and Flash suspects him of committing a string of robberies.
This really is not made for the likes of me. Just garbage. I’ve tried getting into the series but it’s so thick with plot armor that it creaks by on rusty machinery. I mean how they kill the Hulk is just absolute hot trash. The best thing about this issue is it reads really fast.
Predator Kills The Marvel Universe #3
Earth's Mightiest Prey! Reeling from the deadly Yautja invasion, Earth's surviving heroes lick their wounds and form a last line of defense. Wolverine and Spider-Man take the lead - but will their experience battling Predators in the past be enough? And an unexpected ally makes an appearance...
Very well done ending and overall enjoyable read. The art again is fantastic and Waid has a great narrative voice to bring literally exposition to life. About as good as a history lesson can be in these four issues.
New History of the DC Universe #4
Barry Allen's documentation of the history of the DC Universe reaches the present day, beginning with the world-changing events of Flashpoint. Heroes face new threats like Perpetua and the Batman Who Laughs, and the next generation of heroes, like Jon Kent, Wallace West, and Jackson Hyde, begin to emerge from the ashes of crisis-level destruction. ...
Overall enjoyable read on how the DC timeline is put together. The art is fantastic.
New History of the DC Universe #3
Following the cataclysmic events of Crisis on Infinite Earths, the DC Universe isforever changed. Torches are passed as legacy heroes like Wally West embrace the mantles of their predecessors, heroes like Hal Jordan are tempted by darkness, and the Justice League faces formidable new threats such as Doomsday, Black Hand,and Superboy-Prime. Narrator...
Entertaining but ultimately very dumb Batman story. The villains are horrible. Batman is utterly brain dead and the finally is just as bad. One of the worst old school Batman’s.
Detective Comics #74
"TWEEDLEDUM AND TWEEDLEDEE." Batman and Robin are faced with the dual problem of two rather rotund adversaries who set traps and wait for their victims to walk into them.
