Retrospective: Teen Titans vol 3 (part 5)

So another Retrospective dealing with issues 29-33, TT Annual 1, Robin 146-147, and Infinite Crisis 5 and 6.

Retrospective: Teen Titans vol 3 (part 4)

Continuing on with another Retrospective with issues 20-26, and while last retrospective contained some of my favorite story arcs, this one has one of my favorite moments.  Part of this ties in with Identity Crisis.

Retrospective: Teen Titans vol 3 (part 3)

I’m continuing my Retrospective for the Teen Titans with the Teens Titans/Legion of Superheroes crossover and issues 16-19 (collected in trade as The Future is Now).  Handling a lot with these issues, so I’ll try to keep it from being too long.  I do want to state though that these issues are some of my favorites of this Teen Titans group and Johns is joined by writer Mark Waid for the Legion cross over.

Retrospective: Teen Titans vol 3 (part 2)

 

Superboy #1 is rebooting Superboy from scratch.  That and answers from Scott Lobdell in a Comic Vine Q/A session also points that despite the new Universe having a Teen Titans, that the last incarnation of the team is having their history completely erased.  So with that in mind, I’d like to continue with my retrospective taking a look at issues TT 1/2, and 8-15  (also collected currently in trade form Family Lost and Beast Boys & Girls).

Review: Deadpool #43

So I thought I’d take a slight break from DC to pick up one of my favorite Marvel characters: Deadpool!  Like usual, beware of possible spoilers!

When C-Listers Attack! – Obscure Characters Appear in the New DCU

The new DCU is supposed to be new-reader friendly.  And yet, this week’s new #1 issues included appearances from a lot of old DC characters that a lot of reglular comic book readers aren’t all that familiar with.  Here’s a look at some of the less familiar faces of the DC relaunch.

Marvel Adventures Super Heroes 4

Okay, so this isn’t really a super recent comic, in fact it’s over a year old. Still, it would seem an odd choice anyway, right? I mean, an all ages Marvel Adventures comic? Why would I review that? Well, if and when I have kids, I can give them this to introduce them to…oh come on, it’s a review from Pi, who do you think it’s going to be about?

DC New 52 – One Sentence Reviews, Part 2

Time poor?  Hate long reviews?  Love lists?  If yes, this article series is for you.

I provide one sentence reviews of each of the New 52 titles.  Each is scored out of five and at the end I’m going to have a cumulative leader board (averaging the scores of each title) to show which are consistently excellent, which are on the rise, and which are circling the drain.

In Part 2, I take a look at the batch of DC comics that became available on 14 September.

Obligatory spoiler warning.  Blah.  Blah.  Blah.

The Lowdown on Star Trek Movies Part 2

The Lowdown on Star Trek Movies Part 2.

Review: Deathstroke #1

The best mercenary in the DC Universe has stuck around through the relaunch, but can he continue to rank in as the best in this new universe?

SPOILER WARNING!

NewU Reviews: Week 2 of the DC Relaunch

Batwoman #1

Just like last week, I’m going to provide a plot synopsis and review for each issue that came out this week.  I’ll talk a little bit about my general feelings about the relaunch thus far, and how week two did overall.  Finally, for those who like awards, I’ll give out awards to The Must Read Book of the Week, to The Most Pleasant Surprise and, finally, to The Biggest Disappointment.

Review: Demon Knights #1

No matter what complaints you may have about the DC Relaunch, I think you have to give them credit for launching a wide variety of books that probably never would have seen the light of day otherwise.  Demon Knights is one such book and the new DCU is richer for it.

Review: Suicide Squad #1

If you came for a train wreck, you’re not going to get one in Suicide Squad #1.  That’s about the most positive thing I can say about the book.  It could have been a whole lot worse.  But it still wasn’t very good.

Review: Swamp Thing #1

“Better late than never,” my Mum often says.  Perhaps no one understands this better than comic book fans in Australia.  While our peers in America are enjoying this week’s comics and writing new reviews, we’re waiting for our comics to arrive (fingers crossed for tomorrow).  And, since I don’t have anything better to do while I wait for said comics, I figured I’d review the one New 52 comic from last week that hasn’t been fully reviewed on read/rant as yet. 

“Last but not least,” is another Mum-ism … and that’s also a very apt description of Swamp Thing #1, which was comfortably one of the three best debut issues from the first two weeks of DCnU.

As always, there may be spoilers ahead.

Review: Resurrection Man #1

People like to talk about how terrible comics were in the 90′s.  But the people who say that were reading the wrong books.  Sure, the X-books were unreadable, Spider-Man was stuck in a never-ending clone saga, and Image was dominating the sales charts with books that made Hawk and Dove look like a Pulitzer Prize winner.  But the decade also had it’s share of good books that never caught on in the extreme era of comics.  Resurrection Man was one of those books.

Review: Frankenstein, Agent of Shade #1

Of all the books coming out this week, Frankenstein was the one I was looking forward to the most.  I don’t know what that says about me and I don’t want to think about it.  But let me just say, I was not disappointed in this book.  It was exactly the kind of crazy fun I was hoping for.

Review: Green Lantern #1

In Green Lantern #1, we get our first look at the post-Flashpoint world of Green Lantern.  And unlike the majority of the DC Universe, Green Lantern’s world hasn’t changed at all.

Review: Legion Lost #1

Legion Lost is one of the many new comics in DC’s relaunch, and one I have to say I found good but a bit confusing.

SPOILER WARNING!

Review: Red Lantern #1

Red Lanterns get their own book in this relaunch, and I’m going to flatly state this thing was a chore to read through.
