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?

“Justice League – Part 1” Starts Filming in April


Posted in: Movie

 

Filming will take place in southeast London on April 11th, at the Warner Bros. Leavesden studios, as well as in Iceland. Entertainment Weekly got the scoop and a quote from director Zack Snyder.

“The idea that we could begin to boot up a Justice League concept was a cool thing. It was a little bit of an ‘about time’ moment, and I don’t blame [the studio] for feeling that way, because it’s a long time coming, but I do feel like it’s a little bit of a creative hurdle. It seems like an easy thing to do at first glance, the idea that, ‘Oh, we just get the rest of the superheroes in there.’ But you have to [establish] a world where they can exist.”

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.
