Review: Red Lanterns #6

This week marked the sixth issue of the Red Lanterns debut run, and issue number six dredges through the plot just as slowly as the first five.  Overall, the Red Lanterns premise seems promising and full of potential, but thus far the execution has been slow to fruition.  Readers following the rage of the Red Lantern Corps should be privy to gruesome action scenes filled with blood, gore, and revenge as they tromp across the universe, yet it seems as if the Red Lanterns prefer to hangout on Ysmault to converse about mutiny and conspiracy.

New DCnU Reviews – Week of 11/09

I’ve fallen a little behind in my comic book reading.  And as we head into the third issues for the relaunched books, I find myself struggling to find new things to say about most of them.  I find it both challenging and dull to write up the same books month after month.  This week, I thought I’d change things up with some mini-reviews.  No way I can limit myself to one sentence like Ike.  But I’ll keep my rambling to a minimum.

Review: Green Lantern #2

For me, Johns’ Green Lantern went off the rails some time after the Sinestro Corps War wrapped up.  Since then, Johns has devoted the book almost entirely to fleshing out the various corps he created.  Unfortunately, the concept didn’t hold up to scrutiny.  The more Johns elaborated, the less sense the various corps made.

A new number one issue brought with it a new focus.  And the book is far better for it.

Review: Blackhawks #1

I’m too old for GI Joe.  I missed the 80′s toy craze by a few years.  My younger brothers were into it.  But for me, it was Star Wars and the Superfriends.  Blackhawks #1 owes a lot to GI Joe.  But then GI Joe borrowed from just about every military-minded action story ever written.  So, I suppose turnabout is fair play.
