Review: Flashpoint: Lois Lane and the Resistance #1 (of 3)

Flashpoint: Lois Lane and the Resistance has a fun, ridiculous premise that never QUITE lives up to its promise.  Unfortunately, Abnett and Lanning rush through Lois’ first meeting with the Resistance, how she got behind enemy lines, her escape – after a solid opening and a surprising death, most of the rest of the issue is exposition.  Lois is no figurehead of the resistance, not yet, nor is she an intrepid investigator behind enemy lines; instead, she’s a frightened young journalist in well over her head.  I have a feeling we’re in for some surprising transformations, but Abnett and Lanning rush so quickly through the beginning of the story that the book feels, overall, fairly poorly paced.

review/RANT!: Flashpoint: Grodd of War #1

Have you ever seen a movie that was really well executed, but you found the subject matter so distasteful you couldn’t enjoy it.  I’m not usually that guy.  But I was when it came to this Flashpoint one-shot.

The story is really straight-forward.  (Mild spoilers…)

The End of the Super-Marriage

It’s so over!

But Dan Didio is breaking the news to the media gently telling NBC New York’s PopcornBiz blog, “Let’s just say it’s being reexamined,because it’s something that I think is something that is so valuable to the character’s story that you really want to explore all facets of it. Not just as it exists currently.”

Review: Ruse #4

When Marvel released Sigil a few months back, it came as something of a surprise to me.  I hadn’t been aware that Marvel would be doing anything with the CrossGen properties they’d inherited from Disney, but I was legitimately excited when I found out they were.  CrossGen may have been a bad company, but they put out a lot of very good books, particularly in genres traditionally underrepresented in comics.  One of the strongest examples of that was Ruse, a rock-solid example in Victorian-era detective fiction, Sherlock Holmes with a twist.  And while Sigil‘s opening issue underwhelmed me, Ruse reminded me why I missed CrossGen so much.
