The War Against the Owls Continues Here 0

If you liked the whole batman thing with the owls (who didn't ) and you want to see more of it, you can find it here as the latest batbook starts (not counting issue 0 which was a good one though).The issue starts with our hero Calvin Rose, the only talon to escape the court of owls returning to gotham. He has heard the news of the aftermath of the night of the owls and wants to make sure batman truly defeated them. Reaching to one of the court’s hideout he is instantly attacked by a surviving t...

Third time is a charm on this one 0

After 2 previous creative teams the book was one of the weakest tittles I picked up every month (DC’s most iconic hero doesn't deserve such bad stories) so now here is my question, is this really Scott Lobdell? Because if it is then I’m pretty shocked and glad he is doing such a great job with the first issue of his run on superman. Making this creative team change a very nice welcome as not only it reminds me that this book can have good stories, but is a good prelude to the superman crossover ...

The cover exaggerates but it's true 0

Justice League is picking up properly now as the team goes to help wonder woman in learning the origins of one of her oldest adversaries. Revealing how much of a threat boost she has received now a days (probably the whole flashpoint thing was responsible).The issue starts with the makeout session that removed booster gold from existence (yes I still find it hilarious how can a kiss get eliminate someone from time even if they aren’t even related). Both part ways as 5 days later there is a fight...

The future of the DCU looks dark…but promising as hell 0

The issue that marks the first 12 issues of this series and the new 52 has shown lots of promise. Not only for the title itself but this week has turned the DCU into a way more interesting place than ever before.The issue starts with the media mutating into marvel universe civilians as they are already bashing our heroes after watching the clips of the fight between wonder woman and green lantern….without knowing what happened….they could easily say wonder woman was mind controlled or something,...

The end of a league 0

This issue is what I thought #12 was going to be. Here I had hopes for this team but it ended up been completely wiped out. But at least it was better than I thought as it hints for stories to come next yearThe issue starts with a normal mission of the team been awesome. But as they leave, we get to see something wrong with OMAC. The team returns to their HQ where they receive two new members; blue beetle and Olympian…wait what!? Blue beetle in JLI!? Awesome! But this doesn’t pleases guy as he d...

The prologue of a daemonite war? 0

Superman annual marks the beginning of Scott Lobdell’s run on the man of steel. To my surprise the solicitations completely lied to me since it has nothing to do with our hero been captured by aliens and force him to play in a game of death where he would meet a new green lantern (probably Baz). But instead we got something we needed to see for this title, an actual direction that will most likely lead to big events in the DCU and probably my long awaited appearance of wildstorm’s first team fin...

Rogue's at war 0

Ever since the mob rule storyline ended, this title has become one of the best out of all DC. With the introduction of the new versions of Flash’s most iconic villains since the last 5 issues, this title is going all out with the attack from the rogues starting here.The issue starts with the police truck carrying captain cold and heat wave attacked by golden glider who frees heat wave and lets her brother to die, isn’t that nice? We then move to the flash arriving to Dr Elias’ limousine to confr...

Superhuman Bar fights, bike chases with demonic riders...glorious 0

I still can’t stop praising Rick Remender’s secret avengers run. He has everything that makes comics fun to read and even outshines the supposed “main” avengers books written by bendis by a long shot. An action packed issue with awesome resultsThe issue picks up from last time as venom goes after Taskmaster who has the third and final crown. Without anyone knowing what the hell is wrong with the alien symbiotic starts to get easily handled by the skull guy with photographic reflexes that copies ...

The end of a good book yet not the end? 0

After a year run hearing that this title was getting cancelled I was sad, this is one of my favorite tittles out of all the new 52 and even if i know the reasons were story based i'm still saddened…..at least it ended brightly with hopes of continuing in a different shape or form in the future.The issue starts with lightweaver’s brother attacking batman in a graveyard where we can see the rest of the team defeated (a jl book where batman is the last standing? Never seen that before….). as we mov...

Finally! The Darker Justice League I was looking for! 0

To be honest, for a while I was planning to drop Justice League Dark. It wasn’t because it was bad or anything like that but the book started so well it just ended up been average for the first 5 issues. Even then these characters were all over each other and didn’t felt like a team at all. But thanks to the crossover “Rise of the Vampires” the book got better. Now with Jeff Lemire taking over the book, he finally turns this title what I wanted to see for a while. A Justice League book made out ...

The Reach Strikes! 0

Just to inform, I do not read this title at all and I’m planning to do it when the trades come out (have way too many series right now so I’m cutting down some). But all I gotta say is that the only reason why I picked this was because the reach teased this invasion long ago in blue beetle. Now that it happened all I gotta say is that it delivers in epic proportions. A war between the blue lantern (Who I still dream for them to get an ongoing) and the reach is as good as it sounds? Who will prev...

The journey of a brand new villain, good job geoff johns…good job 0

Many will agree that geoff john’s justice league has received mixed reviews from readers (newer readers tend to enjoy it a lot while a large portion of older ones hate it. But now finally I can assure that this title is ready to move forward as all the things we expect from geoff johns and jim lee in a team book are finally here.The issue starts four years ago, the author of the book about the justice league who was saved once by them is now in a wheel chair, looking very old as his doctor tells...

I’m I reading Secret Avengers or what? 1

This issue is not bad at all, it continues from last issue as protector is the main star in this issue but…….this is the job for remender’s secret avengers book….not the main team which should focus more on the battles, I’ve read one issue of uncanny x-men in which red hulk v.s colossus occurs in a very epic fashion. Why not do something like that instead? There are countless battles in avengers v.s X-Men #4 that even AVX will not cover…..but still is a solid issue which focus on a character who...

Two for the price of one 1

I doubted this title when I first knew of it’s existence since as much as I wanted to see power girl in the new dcu, it was still a spin-off to another book. But surprisingly the awesome earth 2 made me pick up this one as we get to see this duo from an alternate world live in the main DC earth.The issue starts in with both Helena and Karen having a nice diner together as they talk about their lives till Karen gets a phone call informing her about the labs she just bought are on fire so they rus...

No need to call 911 anymore after finding this number 0

This is for me the most anticipated book of the second wave and as a very talented writer joins DC, we get delivered a very weird but great comic I will follow for it’s concept is something I wanted to read for a while…….with a darker twist executed well.The issue starts with the introduction of littleville and our “hero” called Nelson (who is way fatter compared how he was depicted in the cover) who is so overweight he had a heart attack before 30! His friend tells him that he has to get himsel...

Iron V.S Magnet and Rock V.S Freaky Fish guy…I’m sold!! 0

After much hyping up this title, this book delivers two fights we could not see in Avengers vs X-Men as it covers the fights between Iron Man against Magneto and Namor…wait…what happened to Luke Cage? I remember the two double team against the king of atlantis. Since this title is all about the fights, I will just give my opinion about them and give the overall score (if I keep reading this title of course).Fight One:Iron Man fights against Magneto and how does he face off against the master of ...

Green Arrow's quest to join and a tie-in to a batman event? hmmm 0

After a disappointing first issue of present justice league, we get a much better story involving green arrow trying to join the league as our heroes face off against various threats to the dcu, proving that they truly are earth’s greatest heroes. Also explains why a there hasn’t been any new additions or a certain one in the team…..wait what?The issue starts with Steve Trevor who is having another meeting with his superiors who are asking about the league gaining additional members. He asks if ...

Not a tie-in exactly but good old fun before the war comes 0

After many years, we finally reach the final story arc bendis will pen for the avengers. Along this book, new avengers and the event himself (teaming up with many famous writers) he makes the first issue of the main book of the team into a fun ride that it could had been much better if it didn't had the avengers vs x-men....trust me, people are going to hate this issue because it's not a legit tie-in....but by itself is a nice avenger story which will lead the event next issue (and simonson is i...

After a good first issue this new series moves foward as more members of zodiac are revealed and so are their motives which proves them to be a more formidable opponent for our heroes that we thought.....even if the issue wasn't as good as before.The issue starts with cancer asking the one who seemed to be responsible for the creation of the team about the creation of zodiac, this person who we can't see explains that he wants balance in the universe which is in caos thanks to earth.

Stark is glad his newly revived comrade has completely healed and vision asks why was he murdered by she-hulk. Forced to answer him he explains ...

For those who haven’t been reading justice league at all this is your chance to do so as the title jumps into the present and…..well is just not that impressive and not only because of the artwork but because this doesn’t feel like justice league at all.

A happy ending to a very bright comic 0

The final issue of this mini-series finally arrives (damn you whoever put on issue 2 that it was going to run 6 issues). And what does this issue and the entire series prove? That you can still do very cool and fun comics with new characters (he is a new ray so he is considered a new character) and make them lighthearted. So how will our hero deal with a reality warping maniac? Let’s find out.The issue starts with our hero stating that the current events weren’t supposed to happen, that chanti i...

The cool suit in the cover was never used...but still good though 0

Before I start this let me just thank Rick Remender, because he hadn't written the adaptoids storyline, then I would had been totally confused about what the hell they are (never head about them till now so don’t judge me). So! After big bumps on the road this story line finally ends with a very nice ending as apparently the end result was good as it has significance not only to the team but for one of their main foes.The issue starts with were we last left off as the avengers managed to get fre...

After adding a brand new enemy for the first five issue and finally deciding what issue to play out while confusing the hell out of us (kinda took till the release day to see which story would play out). Issue 6 became a very solid entry since Dc pits the Flash against one of his most famous arch enemies since post-flashpoint. None other than Captain Cold equipped with real ice powers! Will this be something that will make the character more badass? Or will it be just another attempt to make him...
