Secret Origins #3 |
Aug 16, 2014 |
This series really needs to allow three seperate ratings. The GL origin was passable (I'd give it a C- on a report card). The Batwoman origin was excellent (and helpful since she hasn't exactly had an origin story since New 52 came out). Trevor McCarthy is a maestro with the art. Red Robin's origin ... the less said the better. Definitely brings the overall rating of the entire issue down a couple points. |

Mera's story was okay, Cyborg's was nice but I think the character has enough potential to warrant a solo series not just an "origin". Red Hood's was confusing. |

Two of my favorite JLAers together for a team-up adventure. Ties off some loose story strings as well as setting up a possible new arc in the future. Very glad to see the WW/Mera team-up in the back up story with especially amazing art by Martinez. |

Aug 19, 2014 |
The art is awesome, and always has been with this title. Whether it was Jim Lee, Ivan Reis, or Doug Mahnke they can all do some geart stuff. Storywise I get tired of the great build-ups that never deliver. Trinity War, Forever Evil, etc. seems like they always start out good and the poof-out into a cloud of what could have been. And along the way crossover into all kinds of other titles. This current Doom Patrol/Superwoman plot seems like more of the same. |

If you've been missing Adora she is prominently guesting in this issue. I was surprised at her shock after witnessing her big brother's power against those Horde shock troops. But then again I guess she never really stood back and watched him take on some bad guys. But is that last emotion playing on her face fore-shadowing or am I just reading too much into it? Overall I'd say this title has more then nostalgia going for it and has a decent epic/fantasy story arc going on. |

The hostage rescue mission with Alpine, Long Range, Muskrat, and Torpedo ends this issue. You'll also see Lifticket, Rock'n'Roll, and Wild Bill. Also a CG 'conference' with Cobra Commander and Dr. Mindbender promising sinister things to come. No real surprises here but good ol' action all over the place. |

Love the show, like the book. The writers do a decent job of translating the on-screen personas to page. Art seems consistant with character designs from the show and otherwise does a decent job of conveying the action. The best part of this book, imho, is the re-telling of the original Eastman/Laird TMNT origin story using Lego figures. This issue presents part 3. A nice touch on a classic story. |

Ghost (2013) #6 |
Aug 15, 2014 |
I like Von Ghastly as a villain. He is one of those Horror Show Hosts of yesteryear. I remember as a kid hiding behind the couch from them in fear yet having too much fun to change the channel. The writing is solid. I've only read this series since #5 and already identify with and care about the characters. It can swerve from humorous to adrenalised action to gory shock rather smoothly. The art looks very good. Not just the cover. I hate when the cover (done by Jenny Frison)looks so good but the interior looks like it was better off left on the editor's floor. In this issue I think both the cover and the interior hold up well. The only improvement I would want to see is more interaction between the main characters. As a newer reader I want to get to know these people well and while some time was devoted to that this issue (and the last) I felt another page would have been awesome. Unfortunately I can't find an action page that we could sack for another page of dialogue. So I guess I'll just have to wait for next months issue. |

Batman Beyond Universe #12 |
Aug 16, 2014 |
This is absolutely superior in story and art to Trinity War or Forever Evil. A Superboy with an interesting origin that ties into the current plot, an evil Justice League with believable motives, crisp action that frees itself from the boundaries of the panels, a storyline I don't have to crossover to titles I've never wanted. And a sinister plot is hatched between two of the most powerful (potentially) forces in the universe (or the next)... just awesome! |
