REVIEW: Green Lantern #49


Posted in: Green Lantern Reviews

 

When it comes to superhero comics there’s been a constant discussion of should real world problems intertwine within the realm of fantasy? To some comics are supposed to be an escape from our normal day to day lives. However over the course of seventy five years, there have been instances where the real world problems crossed over to this paper thin realm. I would be here all day long listing them but the one that is more relevant today is Denny O’Neil and Neal Adam’s reinvention of Green Arrow and team up with Green Lantern. This issue serves to cross that boundary once again.

REVIEW: The Omega Men #8


Posted in: Reviews

Okay when I set out on my day, I had a good idea on how I wanted to format the intro for this review. After reading The Omega Men number 8 nothing I had prepared could even comprehend the roller coaster of emotions and the jubilation of just how Tom King and Barnaby Bagenda are simply killing it on this series. In today’s comics market the “long game” seems to be an artifact, with no buildup to events and character revelations have no impact due to that lack of buildup. Without spoiling the issue here, this chapter of The Omega Men is a perfect example of how laying a solid foundation is better than a rush job.

REVIEW: Sinestro #19


Posted in: Reviews

 

Will issue #19 be the same old story for Sinestro and crew? Did Cullen Bunn surprise me as we near the (potential) end of the Paling threat? Can you tell that the best way for teasing a review is to ask questions you already know the answer to? Great. Find out what I thought about all that stuff and more below and don’t be surprised because you’re better than that.

REVIEW: Green Lantern Corps Edge of Oblivion #1

While I won’t recycle The New Day joke once again, it is a new chapter for the Green Lantern Corps. It’s no secret that Lost Army started out with promise but slowly dissolved into a mess. Now former Earth 2 writer Tom Taylor returns to DC to finish up what Cullen Bunn started. What’s even better is Ethan Van Sciver joins him and veteran fans will remember the stamp that EVS has left on the Green Lantern legacy. So with that being said, let’s see what Tom Taylor and Ethan Van Sciver have in store for The Lost Lanterns.

REVIEW: Green Lantern #48


Posted in: Green Lantern Reviews

 

DON’T YOU DARE BE SOUR!!! CLAP YOUR HANDS AND FEEL THE GREEN LANTERN POWAH!!! It’s a New Year yes it is. Indulge my wrestling reference but it’s a brand new year for resident renegade Green Lantern. However as most of us know, despite that turn of the calender the past tends to follow us in some form. We as human beings can’t help but walk a similar path until we ultimately remove our blinders and see the troubled waters, and sail into calms shores. I realize I switched from walking to sailing but it all works out in the end, but what does this have to do with Emerald Twilight?

REVIEW: Justice League #47


Posted in: Justice League Reviews

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! This review was initially going to come out along side The Omega Men, but a severe earache has kept me but I’m buckling down for this one! 2015 was the year that Geoff John’s revitalized my faith in his writing skill. Not that Geoff John’s needs my praise but it’s fun to see an old favorite recapture the magic of yesteryear. Another beautiful addition is Jason Fabok as his brings detailed line work with skilled storytelling skills on the most iconic team book in all of comics. Let’s kick off 2016 with a bang!

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: Sinestro #18


Posted in: Reviews

 

When we last left our favorite antagonist, Sinestro, he had just been surrounded by the reawakened dead of the Paling. The unemotional dead have risen to extinguish all who stand in their way. I think. Their plans aren’t as clear in this issue, so lets just hop over the jump to find out what happens and whether its good, bad or ugly.

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!

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?
