REVIEW: The Omega Men #7


Posted in: Reviews

 

I hope anybody reading this continues to have an amazing holiday and a awesome New Year in just a few days. Before 2015 can officially draw to a close, we have one more issue of the critical darling series The Omega Men. The Omega Men this year is a perfect example of letting a series tells it’s story over time, immersing the reader further in. That’s proven to be a big risk due to flooded comic market and the short attention that some comic readers have when it comes to new series. So let’s take a look at the final issue of The Omega Men!

REVIEW: Justice League #46

Happy Holidays fellow lantern fans! It’s the most wonderful time of the year, at least for us in the real world. As we saw at the end of Justice League #45, some members of the Justice League have been transformed into New Gods. I’m pretty sure that becoming The God of Death wasn’t on the Flash’s Christmas list. All silliness aside, it’ll be interesting to see what Geoff Johns has planned for the next part of act two for this particular story line considering that last issue was set up for six individual one shots and didn’t progress the story. Either way let the Justice commence!

REVIEW: Green Lantern #47

The holidays are finally here! After trudging through our own grueling lives, it’s this time of year where most of us go home or spend time with loved ones in some fashion and be thankful for what we have. By sheer coincidence Hal Jordan is actually coming back home as well. Many of us leave the comfort of home, and our journey morphs. It’s fair to say that Hal’s recent encounters with Black Hand and the disappearance of the corps has forced Hal to see if is home planet is still safe. Outside of that it’s just a normal trip home, right?

REVIEW: The Omega Men #6


Posted in: Reviews

Hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving, and with it being the season of thanks I’m thankful for this series. Even though earlier reviews of mine were the complete opposite of thankful. This should have been the penultimate issue of the series, however as we know now that isn’t the case anymore. Tom King has impressed me on his ability to step out of the box and write a gritty sci-fi comic with deeper rooted themes. The center of this story is still Kyle Rayner and his purpose for whatever The Omega Men have in store for him.

I have not been kind to this series at all. In this intro I could rip apart what exactly what went wrong with this series, however just read my reviews of previous issues to understand the crux of my arguments. Some might say that I’m not being fair, since Lost Army was a twelve issue story that became truncated into a six issue mini series. So hopefully before Tom Taylor and Ethan Van Sciver start their Green Lantern mini series in 2016, let’s see if we can’t have an enjoyable send off from this forgettable series.

REVIEW: Justice League Darkseid War: Green Lantern #1


Posted in: Green Lantern Reviews

Within the realm of superhero comics, the idea of faith is an odd one. The DC universe is filled with God like beings, with people who can defy death itself, among other “miracles” it can make a reader question why would someone believe in a God that isn’t physically there. Especially when actual Gods walk among them. Tom King using the events of Darkseid War tackles the very idea of faith, what it means to believe in something that isn’t completely tangible. This story is Hal Jordan’s confrontation not with parademons, but with God himself. There are parademons to fight though.

Here we are once again at the end of current Black Hand story line. Last issue I marveled at Venditti’s ability to stay true to Black Hand’s recent history, while simultaneously adding his own twisted spin on William Hand. Now that we are six months into this very different iteration of Hal Jordan, I can definitively say that the change of pace has been good for Green Lantern. The book still retains the epic scope, without the typical end of the world scenario in play. So let’s see how Venditti wraps up the first arc of Green Lantern Renegade!

REVIEW: Earth 2 Society #5

When you look at the definition for the word fame, something particular strikes me a interesting. In most instances, people who have a achieved a level of fame by doing something worth talking about (fame isn’t a good or evil status). However if you look out cultures in the current day, there’s a lot of people who are famous due to the fact of what family they where born into. So apply that to the world of superheroes, where a good majority of these people become famous because of their heroic deeds, but what if that’s not enough for some of them?

REVIEW: Justice League #45

I don’t know if anybody can tell or not, but I’m enjoying Darkseid War immensely. Now as we enter the second act, Johns has put some perplexing pieces on the fictional chess board. Certain characters have undergone drastic changes from the previous issue, and if you’re at all familiar to the world of comics, then you know nothing is permanent. Which makes us as readers ask, why should we care about these changes. That is the challenge that John’s and artist duo Francis Manapaul, and Brian Buccellato face with this chapter of Darkseid War.

REVIEW: Green Lantern Lost Army #5


Posted in: Green Lantern: Lost Army Reviews

 

Here we are, the penultimate issue of this series, and honestly I’m overjoyed that this particular group of Lanterns will at least be getting another mini series. I can see the fascinating ideas that Cullen Bunn wanted to do if was given more time, however the time Cullen Bunn has been given, it wasn’t spent in ways that would make any reader invested into the plot of Lost Army. This particular issue sums up all the problems I’ve had with Lost Army as a series since the very beginning.
