After the rather anti-climatic showdown between Parallax and Hal last issue, it made me wonder just how Venditti would actually wrap up this iteration of the Emerald Gladiator. The current state of DC feels similar to Flashpoint, a lot of waiting around before the change can happen. Granted the big story that Venditti wrapped up last year, but the introduction of Parallax gave the perception that a larger story line was on the horizon. Perhaps that leads into Rebirth? Who knows, but let’s see how this arc of Green Lantern wraps up.

REVIEW: The Omega Men #10


Posted in: Reviews

 

While the comics world continues to be enamored with DC’s official announcement of their Rebirth, the focus has seemingly shifted from the good of now to the promise of tomorrow. I’ll personally continue to bang the drum of DC Comics post Convergence (which can you believe was almost one year ago). As we enter the final three issues of this critically acclaimed darling, I began to reminisce about this series and whatever the conclusion may bring. Science fiction over the norm of what many consider typical of a DC comic within the spectrum of the New52. Let’s begin the march to Omega.

REVIEW: Sinestro #21


Posted in: Reviews

Enter March Madness! Enter Martin Coccolo! A different artist comes along as we deal with the repercussions of the big battle against The Paling. Is that a good thing? Is the cover a reflection of the inside or better yet a reflection of all the things I do not enjoy about this series? So many questions to be answers in this month’s review of Sinestro! Lets start answering some shall we? Hit the jump!

REVIEW: Green Lantern Corps Edge of Oblivion #3


Posted in: Green Lantern Corps Reviews

 

When a moment of devastation enters your life, something that makes you completely helpless in the face of adversity. What is your first instinct on what to do next? Do you grieve at your utter lack of control that you thought you had? Does blind rage and ill contempt for those around you overwhelm your senses, which if let unchecked can prevent you from moving on from onward. After the events of last issue, Tom Taylor put’s Guy Gardner in a spot that almost everybody can sympathize with. An emotional/driven Guy Gardner makes for a more engaging character arc.

REVIEW: The Omega Men #9


Posted in: Reviews

 

Super Tuesday has come and gone, and our very nation might on the verge of electing the biggest con artist in American history. What does this have to do with The Omega Men #9? Well funny you should ask that, since this book (like good science fiction) has mirrored the current state of the world for some time. While there isn’t a Donald Trump-esque character in this series, the themes of preying on the fears of a group of people to further one’s agenda. Today’s issue articulates why extremism never wins.

REVIEW: Green Lantern #50


Posted in: Green Lantern Reviews

Take notice comic book fans! This is possibly the last time that comics from either Marvel and DC actually reach issue 50th (given the state of the constant renumbering). So let’s take the time to celebrate this momentous occasion, before it starts all over again in just a few short months. Since December of last year, Venditti has been slowly building towards the ultimate confrontation between one man’s ultimate despair and his reflection. The desire within us to want to reshape our past takes takes physical form as two Hal Jordan’s from battle for their souls.

REVIEW: Justice League #48

REBIRTH! Man, a brick ton of news that concerns the future of DC comics dropped since the last issue of Justice League. However let’s finish Darkseid War before we start peering into the future of DC comics. While I’ve been mainly positive about Darkseid War since it’s launch last June, part me of knows that this is starting to feel something you don’t want to feel during something of this magnitude. The “dragging” feeling, where the once high octane action can begin to take a toll, which is a problem Geoff has had in previous event style sagas. Let’s see if this issue turns the tide or continues down the path of action fatigue.

REVIEW: Dark Knight Universe Presents Green Lantern #1


Posted in: Reviews

 

So this is going to be a bit different than your standard review from yours truly. To clarify this isn’t a review of the Dark Knight Returns III #3, after all this isn’t a Batman site. Given how Frank Miller thinks about Green Lantern it’s odd to an entire micro-comic dedicated to Hal Jordan. That being said, the past two micro-comics were interesting examinations of characters within the world of DKR, so despite Miller’s feelings towards Green Lantern as a concept one would think that momentum would carry over onto this issue DKUP. Also legendary artist John Romita Junior on pencils, what could possibly go wrong?

REVIEW: Sinestro #20


Posted in: Reviews

The Fall of Sinestro! Twenty issues is quite a feat in this weird transitional “feed them more #1 issues” comics world we live in. So, I’ll start by congratulating the creative team and the editorial staff on getting this far. I’m pretty sure my expectations for how long this book would last were pretty low, as was my expectations for this particular issue. Spoiler alert: You’re about to read a review about Sinestro vs The Pale Bishop.

REVIEW: Green Lantern Corps Edge of Oblivion #2

After speculation of mine and other readers of how Lost Army’s plot lines actually fit within Edge of Oblivion’s larger plot line. Well according to Van Sciver himself this current mini series is in fact not a direct follow up to Lost Army. While I’m glad that Lost Army’s plot lines are being shelved since the overall story was below average, the fact that DC isn’t even going to mention it at all is pretty telling of how editorial is handling some of their projects. So with that being said now the comparisons can be dropped, so let’s move forward shall we?
