PROJECT SUPERPOWERS FRACTURED STATES #1     DYNAMITE An energetic start but missing the usually huge cast of heroes we’ve grown accustom to seeing from the Project Superpowers series. We do get the death of the Flag but after that we get directly into the story. With Ron Marz and Andy Lanning’s dystopian future of 2052, … Read more

WAR FOR EARTH-3 #2     DC COMICS Honestly, this is another example of a pointless waste of talent employed to accomplish nothing. Multiple super teams, multiple betrayals and double-crosses and in the end, Amanda Waller and her Earth 3 version of a Justice League disappear into the Multiverse. Talon gets offed by a Waller Neck … Read more

ROGUES #1     DC COMICS (BLACK LABEL) I could go on and on about how Flash’s Rogues Gallery is by far the best group of DC super-villian family. And I do not use the term family lightly. They have always been a family ever since they first starting appearing in Flash comics. They argued, they … Read more

BATMAN/SUPERMAN WORLD’S FINEST #1     DC COMICS In the beginning there was World’s Best Comics. Then in issue #2, it became World’s Finest and for the first 70 issues, it was an anthology book where the covers were the only place Batman and Superman interacted. Then someone had the brainstorm to do a story inside … Read more

BATMAN & SCOOBY-DOO MYSTERIES #12     DC COMICS A final issue bonanza as writer Sholly Fisch and artist Dario Brizuela pull out all the stops in this grand celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the very first Batman-Scooby-Doo team-up! (Which I can proudly say I was around for!) When Mystery Inc. check out a hotel … Read more

WAR FOR EARTH-3     DC COMICS Even Ambush Bug’s wise acre comments can’t save this one. With an endless amount of potential and an endless list of contributors in both the art and writing, this one had a chance of being an excellent crossover. But the truth of the matter is that this title so … Read more

AQUAMEN #1     DC COMICS You know, Aquaman is one of those characters that DC has a long history of making bad decisions with and really not knowing what to do with. So it only makes sense to make two of them. One issue in and we still have Arthur Aquaman trying to teach Jackson … Read more

JUSTICE LEAGUE ANNUAL #1 (2022)     DC COMICS Well, there can be no doubt that Brian Michael Bendis knows his classic Justice League story layouts. This annual reads like something from the classic era of JLA. A complicated and dire threat that can only be fixed by splitting up into multiple teams and defeating secondary … Read more

DETECTIVE COMICS #1051     DC COMICS Well, the whirlwind of the current storyline finally slows down just a bit to give us some details and puts a Golden Age villain to good use. And while I am not happy with the decision to blow through a storyline weekly, and least part 5 of Mariko Tamaki’s … Read more
