Action Comics #5: A little heavy on the background aren’t we, Morrison? RATING: B- Animal Man #5: Unless you have a weak stomach, there is no reason you shouldn’t be reading this RIGHT NOW! RATING: A+ Justice League International #5: Okay, now that this arc is over, can we get a better p[...]

War of the Green Lanterns (2011)
After the monumental event that was Blackest Night and the slow-moving build of Brightest Day, the two events culminate in War of the Green Lanterns. This latest cross-over of three Green Lantern series manages to be quite enjoyable and pack some unexpected punches. It may not be the greatest event[...]

DC Singles Reviews for November 2011
Writing a review for every single, uh…single…was taking too long. So I’ve decided to boil down each review into one sentence reviews. Action Comics #3: Superman sulks while Braniac bulks. Rating: B+ Animal Man #3: The stuff that wonderful little nightmares are made of. Ratin[...]

Flashpoint (2011)
The Flash has usually been a solid title that only got better when Geoff Johns took over in early 2011. Flashpoint marks the first event comics where the center story is entirely focused on Barry Allen. Naturally, it is an event comic which means loads of tie-in titles, but this is mostly Barry̵[...]

Wonder Woman #2 (2011)
The biggest surprise of the DC reboot for me was Wonder Woman. I’ve never been a fan, but this new take is changing my opinion rapidly. Here is a title that proves any character can be made interesting in the right hands (and not in the fumbling fingers of J. Michael Straczynski). Issue 2 fle[...]

Justice League #2 (2011)
I was less than thrilled with Justice League #1. The rocky intro of Cyborg and the mean-spirited introduction of the Batman/Green Lantern dynamic just didn’t do much for me. However, I have to give credit to Geoff Johns for turning around titles like Green Lantern, The Flash and Aquaman. With [...]

Green Lantern Corps #2 (2011)
When I read the first issue of GLC, it was slow as the story focused on character development and keeping the new villain a complete mystery. It almost felt like a complete reboot if it weren’t for the references made to Hal Jordan’s current situation going on in Green Lantern. While the[...]

Batwoman #2 (2011)
I could recommend Batwoman just based on the art alone. I mean, LOOK at that cover. But even setting the art aside, there is still a wonderfully intriguing plot being developed here with some very capable characters. As Batwoman comes to grips with taking on Flamebird as her sidekick and deciding wh[...]

Swamp Thing #2 (2011)
After such a bombastic debut, Swamp Thing is due for some setup. This is usually the part of the story most readers dread. While there is no denying that this issue is heavy on the text, it does the one thing a comic with exposition should do: intrigue. Swamp Thing tries to explain the situation [..[...]
