BREAKING NEWS! As the title says, the DC Universe is getting a major Rebirth. On May 25th, we’ll be getting DC Universe: Rebirth,an 80 page one shot issue written by Geoff Johns. Following that? June will feature 8 Rebirth special issues including Green Lanterns: Rebirth #1. That’s not all, not by a long shot, in June some of those 8 special issues will kick off bimonthly releases (Aquaman, Batman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lanterns, Green Arrow, Superman)!

When July hits, we’ll be hit with more special issues. I should probably mention that one of those books is Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps. That book will also be shipping twice a month. Check the breakdown of all the titles announced below courtesy of CBR.

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


Posted in: Green Lantern Corps Reviews

Capture

 

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?

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.
