REVIEW: Green Lantern Annual #3


Posted in: Green Lantern Reviews

First off I hope everyone had a happy holiday and I deeply apologize for how late this review is. Irregardless it’s finally time to end this marathon known as Godhead. I won’t lie and deny that this crossover has had it fair share of pains but it hasn’t been all terrible, but now that the finale has finally arrived, can Venditti stick the landing? If there is anything I’ve learned from reading crossover comics is that the ending can be the hardest part, and you have to go in knowing that not all readers will be satisfied. So let’s see how the year 2014 ends for Green Lantern!

REVIEW: Earth 2 World’s End #9-13


Posted in: Earth 2 Reviews

 

While the holidays are being enjoyed by many of us on this Earth, I believe it’s safe to say that the heroes of Earth 2 wished they would have something to celebrate. Now that three months have passed it’s becoming clear of what the direction for the remaining issues of World’s End, a bleaker direction, especially with one characters resurrection it makes sense however there are some choices to make this world edgier just a tad bit head scratching. So how exactly will the creative team choose to close out 2014 for Earth 2? Well if my preamble is any indication, it wasn’t a happy one.

REVIEW: Green Lantern New Guardians #37

With less than a week till Christmas, which also means that the marathon known as Godhead is nearing it’s finale. It’s been a roller coaster since this crossover started back in October but it’s always a bit shocking when a crossover of this magnitude is nearly over. So with the status of High Father becoming mad with power it’s interesting to note the “good guys” have yet to go on the offensive. So will this issue actually begin the momentum shift? Or will it be yet another wall of an issue akin to the previous chapter.

REVIEW: The Multiversity New Thunder World Adventures


Posted in: Multiversity Reviews

SHAZAM! Man I can’t even begin to tell you how long I’ve been wanting to write that cry in some fashion. So exactly how do you follow up Pax Americana or some might call the best single issue of 2014? The answer is you don’t, so enter the polar opposite of Pax Americana with Thunder World. For many people Shazam is the poster boy for everything fun about superhero comics, which begs the question. Does Thunder World live up to the legacy that is Captain Marvel? Let’s see what magic Grant Morrison and Cameron Stewart cook up.

REVIEW: Green Lantern Corps #37


Posted in: Green Lantern Corps Reviews

Less than three weeks before the epic known as Godhead comes to a thrilling conclusion, which means the anticipation is about to become more intense. Betrayal’s plus a possible switch of allegiance has seem to be the running theme with the third act of Godhead. It could be me but I feel that the tide has turn for the respective corps or the writing team will pull something at that last minute to save everyone. The bigger question for this chapter is if they will acknowledge John becoming a Star Sapphire.

REVIEW: Green Lantern #37


Posted in: Green Lantern Reviews

Well ladies and gentlemen the final act of Godhead has finally arrived. I’ll admit this crossover has turned out far differently from what I expected. So now that the final assault on New Genesis has begun, I will say that the creative teams have me on the edge of my seat wondering exactly how all this will be resolved. Especially with the wild card of Black Hand introduction from the previous issue of Green Lantern. So let’s without further adieu let’s dissect the final act of Godhead.

REVIEW: Sinestro #7


Posted in: Reviews

Happy Holidays people and all I want for Christmas is for the Green Lanterns to actually come out on top against the New Gods. Now the focus shifts to Sinestro it’ll be interesting to see what his final preparations will prior to the final assault on New Genesis. Sinestro (at least since Sinestro Corps) he’s been a great General in war time scenarios. It’s like watching a pro chess player make their move. What exactly does the master manipulator have up his sleeve?

REVIEW: Earth 2 Worlds End #5-8


Posted in: Earth 2 Reviews

Happy late Thanksgiving to whoever is reading this and I’m sure the heroes of Earth 2 wish you Happy Thanksgiving as well. Even though they are under siege by Apokolips. Now that World’s End has concluded it’s second month, has the writing team pulled the back the griping intense action that kicked off the series? Could the art remain as consistent with the structure of the book? So many questions and so not enough turkey to push readers through yet another month of World’s End.

REVIEW: Red Lanterns #36

Can you believe Godhead is about to enter it’s final act? While it certainly has felt like a prolonged journey, looking back it really hasn’t been that long. With the holidays right around the corner it’s that time for families and friends to come together for merry times. The same could be said about the current situation for the respective lantern corps, but there is one book that feels out of the loop. The previous issue of Red Lanterns felt like tie-in rather than the next part of the story, so is that still the same for this chapter of Godhead? Let’s get our rage on and find out.

REVIEW: The Multiversity Pax Americana


Posted in: Multiversity Reviews

Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, Chris Claremont and Jon Byrne, and now Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. I’ll be upfront with this and say that Pax Americana is my most anticipated comic of the year. Not simply DC comic but every single comic that will or has come out in 2014. It’s the fact that Morrison and Quitely have worked wonderful magic in years past and I have no reason to doubt the dream team. So with high expectations let’s see if Pax Americana lives up to this reviewers self imposed hype.
