REVIEW: Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #4


Posted in: Hal Jordan and the GLC Reviews

 

As much as we love our heroes, It’s a pretty safe bet that most readers find more pathos within the antagonist then the heroes themselves. Look at Lex Luthor, Vandal Savage, The Joker, and of course Sinestro himself. It’s been said before that villains form our darkest desires, hopefully not the mass killing aspect but rather the power fantasy pushed to the extreme. The commanding presence when entering a room the respect that comes along with being perceived as the top dog. Before going forward there will be spoilers, so be sure to read your issues before reading further.

REVIEW: Justice League #4


Posted in: Justice League Reviews

Man I have to tell you that fifth week months screw me up when it comes to remembering when certain comics are coming out. In the past fifth weeks meant a weekly event would be coming to a close or there wasn’t a ton of comics coming out and you could leave your LCS without your own wallet trying to murder you. Now with both Marvel and DC flooding the market, the fifth week isn’t any different from the previous four. You maybe wondering what does have to do with new issue of Justice League? Nothing, I just wanted to vent a bit spoilers are followed you have been warned.

REVIEW: Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #3

Teamwork is an essential part of daily life, despite the fact you have many self proclaimed “lone wolfs” who feel they can handle any challenge on their own despite the odds. Yet at the end of the day we each need other to overcome the obstacles that we as individuals can’t overcome. Heck that’s why the Justice League formed in the first place, and why there are thousands of Green Lanterns instead of just one (except for that one time from 94 to 04). How does that all factor in today’s issue of Hal & The GLC? Read further on and beware spoilers are bound. Click here to read the full article.

REVIEW: Green Lanterns #5


Posted in: Green Lanterns Reviews

Anxiety is something that millions of people around the world deal with on a daily basis. Every single day is a battle for someone to overcome their own personal anxiety, and as we know there are people out there who are more successful with dealing with anxiety than others. It can make a comic reader wonder why more superheroes don’t openly express their own personal anxiety, which leads to an interesting question how much self doubt and personal trauma is to much for one issue? With the penultimate chapter of Red Dawn upon us, let’s see where Humphries takes Baz and Cruz this go around. Also small reminder spoilers are to follow, you’ve been warned.

REVIEW: Justice Leauge #3


Posted in: Justice League Reviews

Two proper issues of Justice League from Bryan Hitch and Tony Daniel brought us two very different types of comics. I won’t waste time recapping what both issues did differently as you can read my reviews on them yourself. With the release of this third chapter it seems that Hitch might be settling into a pattern with how he wants to structure Justice League going forward, as he’s still adjusting to writing for a premier book like Justice League, it’s vastly improved but I like seeing continuous progression. So let’s see where Hitch and Daniel take us time around. Also spoilers are to follow, you’ve been warned.

REVIEW: Hal Jordan & The Green Lantern Corps #2


Posted in: Hal Jordan and the GLC Reviews

It’s officially August, and the heat keeps ratcheting up. While it’s way to early to say whether or not DC’s Rebirth is a success (that’ll be a December issue heh) from this small reviewers’ perspectives, it’s recaptured the magic that DC comics mostly lacked between 2011-to early 2016. Focusing on the titles that you the reader care about, and I dare say that both series dedicated to the emerald cops provide their own unique directions yet they feel part of a bigger picture. So lets see if Hal Jordan & The Green Lantern Corps can maintain the rush from the previous issue. Also remember kids spoilers are near. Please get your parents permission before reading further on.

REVIEW: Green Lanterns #4 (Second Opinion)


Posted in: Green Lanterns Reviews

Repression is something that millions of people deal with on a daily basis, it’s a struggle to say what you want to say in the manner that fits you.  After days, weeks, months and in some cases potentially years that repression can eat away, putting that person in a bitter or depressed state. Personally for me, after repressing my own personal emotions I tend to lash out in pure anger telling the entire world what I’m feeling. It’s not a healthy way to live at all, something I’m dealing with even know, but for Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz it’s something they nee to come to terms with very soon. Spoilers lay ahead, you have been warned.

They say every comic book can be someones first. They are typically never named but let me say to that anonymous collective out there that they are probably right, and it is because of sayings like this that issues like Green Lanterns #4 make for a highly problematic read. Well, at least for the veteran reader. Let’s just proceed with the review and look around for spoilers beyond this point, shall we? We shall.

REVIEW: Justice League #2


Posted in: Justice League Reviews

 

Riding off the heels of San Diego Comic Con, the name Justice League is on the lips of virtually everyone. Make no mistake this isn’t a post dedicated to the recent special footage shown at Comic Con, but seeing the Justice League in brief live action, then noticing that the current writer for Justice League is famous for bringing a “cinematic” approach to comics. Even though Hitch isn’t the artist, last issue proved that Tony S. Daniel can step into that style when needed. With the eyes of the world, let’s see how Hitch and Daniel follow up from a bombastic second issue. Warning, there be spoilers ahead. Ye have been warned.

What I’m about to write maybe a bit odd, especially since DC’s Rebirth intention is to remind old and newer readers about the days of yore. Yet in the Rebirth issue for this series, half of story was dedicated to an aging Sinestro, a character who has battled Hal Jordan for more than fifty years now not even a snapped neck could prevent him from continuing the fight. Seeing this version of Sinestro battered by the sands of time reminds us that we all have a clock ticking down to the end. The big difference is between us and Sinestro is that we’re not Sinestro. Spoilers to follow in the review below, advance on your own merit.
