I had this entire paragraph written out how unfortunate it was to hear about the cancellation of The Omega Men. I had a written rant in which I would proclaim that DC was to quick to pull the rug from underneath The Omega Men. However it appears that fans of this book have returned and in larger numbers to proclaim their love for this series. Granted the first couple of issues didn’t set well with me in fleshing out the cast of characters, I can’t deny the craft that goes into one issue of The Omega Men. So thank you Dan Didio and Jim Lee for letting this series see a proper conclusion.

Before you continue to read this review, think about the concept of death. It’s a force that constantly shrouds on our day to day lives, whether we want to acknowledge it or not. Over the past decade under the care of various writers Black Hand has morphed from joke character to current cosmic threat. It’s interesting to have a character be enamored with the idea of death, when death in the world of superheroes is just a joke at this point. Regardless it’s clear that Robert Venditti has an endgame for William Hand, now it appears time for the endgame to begin.

You read that headline right? Well, that’s all you need to know! Get excited, because Justice League: Action is coming. Full report below via WF.
Despite that summer is officially over, Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok continue to deliver a summer block buster that could put Batman V. Superman to shame.

While the other comic company has forgotten the art of the “annual” DC comics since the inception of the New 52 has become a stalwart champion of the annual. While I’ve reviewed two Green Lantern annuals prior to this one, this is the first one that actually isn’t tied down to a crossover. Despite that Venditti has done a fantastic job of establishing Hal’s new status quo, however filling the gap between leader to renegade would be nice for fans who might be curious on how the rest of the corps dealt with Hal’s criminal actions. After all betraying a friend can be the worst pain of all.

It’s been a depressing week for fans of certain DC comics as the axe came down hard. One of them being Lost Army which will end in exactly two issues, I haven’t exactly been the biggest fan of Lost Army like some others but I won’t deny that Cullen Bunn has laid down an intriguing foundation for a refreshing spin for the Green Lantern Corps to operate in. I honestly didn’t expect to write that the end is nigh for our heroes who happen to be stranded in another part of time and space. With only three issues remaining let’s see if Bunn can wrap up this short lived series in some fashion.
Romances in comics over the last decade have been the subject of controversy for many of fans. We now live in an era where DC has split the silver age couples into the singles bracket. Now while Val-Zod and Kara Zor El have only been around as a couple for less than a year now, but as know they are longer in a relationship. Relationships are the trickiest aspects to a humans life, it’s a delicate thread that can sadly be cut into pieces. Now it seems that Daniel H. Wilson finally spills the kryptonian beans on the split between Kara and Val.
