Supes' soups's Profile

Bendis literally tore Superman down to the bare minimum, even removing Kara from the equation to top it all off. I was ok with this issue, the storytelling was coherent and consistent, although I'm still not a big fan of Rogol Zorr. He seems like another generic alien villain hellbent on destroying worlds. We have at least a dozen of those already. Jor-El's recent developments still seem out of ch aracter. In short, I'm conflicted about the direction Superman is headed in.more

I'll admit I'm a sucker for Star Sapphire Diana which is why I'm giving this a decent score. However, this story seems like a weird tangent to the Dark Gods storyline that it's messing up the pacing of the an arc that I actually thought was ok.

I like Janin's art but King is again writing Batman as sort of an apathetic idiot. Throwing a batarang at Joker's face was supposed to do what?? Kill him? I thought he was against killing. Maim him? What's the point of that. Also I found it most shocking that Batman didn't figure out a way to save the bride in the church from getting killed. Very out of character for the world's greatest detective . On top of that, after the bride's dead body falls to the ground, Batman looks like he doesn't even care. Is the real Batman locked away in a basement somewhere, because this Batman is an ass...more

Wasn't a fan of the artist shuffle and they literally recycled Fabok's art for two issues straight with no real point (Why rehash something you are saving for later to go into detail with?). It was the last few panels of the last issue in a weekly series, I think we didn't forget it. It was odd. I like how Bendis is reviving the Daily Planet as something that matters because it's what grounds Clar k in humanity. However, I don't like how Bendis jumps around plot points with such incoherence. Now I'm beginning to worry if Superman is in good hands with Bendis...more

I did a line of cocaine before reading this issue, so of course it made perfect sense and I can't wait for more of these types of stories on my most beloved comic book, Batman. I hope Batman remains likes this until the day that I die... BANG! (Ok I just arrived from the future via time-travel and shot the version of myself who snorted that line of cocaine and enjoyed this issue of Batman, the wor ld is saved...consider this my gift to my old high school math teacher who finally worked up the nerve to ask Ms. Bossert, the French language teacher to ask her to marry him and agree to only bone each other for the rest of their lives) Can Bendis write Batman instead, it can't be more phucked than it is now anyways...more

I'll stick with it. You need to read Legacy #1 and the recent FCBD Avengers to really have a feel of what's going on since you're kinda just thrown into the action. I have faith in Jason Aaron and I think this is a decent start for what it's worth.

This was an awesome first issue. Honestly I re-read Metal #1 just to compare Snyder's recent epics and hands-down this hooked me in more while Metal's first issue was confusing and I kept reading it hoping to be unconfused only to be sort of let down with the whole damn thing at the end. First, no ads made the pace of this book flow well and second, the ensemble cast of characters is organized wel l so far so it's not as crazy as it looks. Third, Martian Manhunter is back for good it feels like! With it being a weekly, this will be a fun ride before Justice League relaunches and I think I'll be happy with the result. more

The ending feels a little bit of a cop out because overall we're back at the status quo. Murphy has done a fantastic job with his self-contained story but I can't help but feel like the editorial team held this title back from its full potential. Comparing it to Nightwing, The New Order, another self-contained elseworlds story, I think White Knight is overall better written but New Order had a mor e satisfying ending for me. It wrapped things up while White Knight had loose ends that sets up a possibility for a sequel. I mean no important players die and I could be wrong but it was never revealed what Alfred had for Bruce after he died.more

Wow, Tom King can write a Joker story after all. That was creepier than Snyder's Joker. Super excited for the relaunch of Justice League and the wild looking No Justice event. Wish I could say the same about Superman but after reading the Action special and the Supes story in DC Nation #0, I'm starting to really wonder why they would end Gleason and Tomasi's run and ruin a good thing??

What is this shit? I honestly don't know what I'm reading anymore. If they can take Gleason and Tomasi off of Superman (which was doing spectacular) then DC can also take Tom King off of Batman. King really needs to get off this book before he ruins his own reputation. Every issue also makes King's Catwoman fetish more ridiculous.

Delays killed any momentum for this THREE issue series. Seriously they couldn't get their $%&# together for three measly issues. I was laughing when I saw the Metal event logo on the cover. You're like a month late bro... Snyder needs to accept that Duke Thomas just isn't that compelling of a character. He tried to avoid turning him into another Robin but unfortunately Duke was most interesting du ring the I am Robin series that I actually thought was decent. Overall, I think this is a fail...more

Excellent finale to Tomasi and Gleason's run. The Rebirth era Superman has been a consistently good read and I hope Bendis knows what he's doing now that he's taking over. (Every time I see the "Bendis is Coming" double page ad in the recent DC books, I damn near have a heart attack...) This issue hits pretty close to home when Lois starts crying mopping up the floor where you can still see Jon's footprints as a baby. My sister recently moved from San Diego to San Francisco for a new job and when they were cleaning the old San Diego house after selling it, you could see finger smudges on some of the windows from when my nephew finally learned to stand as a seven month old. So yea this was a touching issue.more

You're essentially reading the same short story plot five times in a row except with different teams from across the generations of Power Rangers. It's a fun and relatively quick read but if $7.99 is a little steep for you, you could go ahead and skip it and not miss out on much.

Great issue, the conflict between Deathstroke and Silencer is actually more believable than his beef with Batman.

Initially picked up Thor #1 back during the first Marvel NOW! out of curiosity and never once was let down by this series. Aaron is a masterful story teller and I'm sure there are more than a few haters of Jane Thor that privately now believe this comic title is worth its weight in gold. Don't want to spoil anything at all for readers. This comic is simply a fun time with a lot of heart. It's sad Jane's run as Thor is over because this series was something special. I know for a fact I will revisit these issues years down the road. For all comic lovers who haven't given this series a shot, you truly are missing out. Asgard and the nine realms is a fascinating place to spend some time in.more

Some of the stories ended way abruptly but the Dan Jurgens story is definitely a standout. Tom King imagining Earth being destroyed after the Sun supernovas was an interesting take. Unlike some of you here, I'm actually kind of worried about Bendis. He's introducing a weird villain that's trying to take credit for exterminating all the Kryptonians? That wipes out a lot of the backstory of Superman 's origin, where it was the Kryptonians themselves that doomed their planet forcing Jor-El to send his only son to Earth as a beacon of hope. I don't think Bendis would re-write that origin with a sketchy villain but then again Bendis has written some stuff at Marvel that's turned that whole company into kind of a mess... But "Fresh Start" in May, amirite??more

White Knight could be the best Batman story I've read in the better part of a decade. It's not confined to the main continuity, so Murphy has free reign to let his storytelling take center stage and it is extremely satisfying to read. Although the book started off with Batman being extreme in his methods, it's devolved back into a normal-ish Batman book and I'm ok with that. I actually don't think this Batman is worse than the Requiem Batman (New 52 timeline after Damian Wayne gets killed by Leviathan). At the end, I appreciate this story that adds a new point-of-view on Joker. He tries to be good but at the end he's still an evil psychopath. I guess the ingredients are still the same for a Batman story just cooked in a slightly different way and it's still excellent.

What I'm trying to say is...I'm just glad that I'm not reading a Batman book that's really just Catwoman pseudo-porn based on Tom King's weird fetishes.more

Still not a compelling read, but for once, it feels like Wolfman has given Cyborg a sense of direction as a comic book. The scenario we're thrown into feels like the same but one difference is, it's more focused on Victor. No random Sarahs or Variants running around to distract from Victor Stone Marv may be able to pull this character he created out of the grave but it'll take some time. I didn't expect a 180 in a single issue but honestly, this is DC's last ditch effort. If Wolfman can't catch some traction for this book, no one can...more

This event got a little too crazy for its own good and I feel like its overambitious reach didn't end up with a very coherent story. Still I admire Snyder's effort for a such a huge undertaking. Regardless of how I felt about this odd finale, it moves the DC universe forward and is forcing it to evolve for better or worse. I can tell Capullo grew tired as this event concluded as the artwork isn't up to his usual standard and some friends had to lend a helping hand, Mikel Janin's art was instantly recognizable. Also I'm thankful for all the new characters and elements Metal brought such as the evil Batmen and expanding the multiverse. However, I think Barbatos was a weak character overall and could've been skipped. At the end of the day however, I think Snyder works better in self-contained stories such as Court of Owl and End Game. The events are usually Geoff Johns' forte. more
