Justice League Dark #23: The Hand of Man

Comic Book Reviews, DC EntertainmentBy Nicholas Osborn June 30, 2020 Leave a comment

Justice League Dark #23

Justice League Dark continues to impress in issue #23 (V, Tynion IV, Hotz, Chung, Leigh), maintaining a streak of momentum that makes this one of my most anticipated releases every month. It doesn’t lose track of the darker, more “out-there” elements that work so well with the team but it also never forgets to tell a solid superhero story.

AfterShock Comics, Comic Book ReviewsBy Nicholas Osborn June 29, 2020 Leave a comment

Join the Future #2

Join the Future is a series that feels both uniquely relevant and timeless in a way you just don’t see often. There is a coming of age story coming to fruition within an exploration of much grander societal shifts, and issue #2 (Kaplan, Kowalski, Simpson, Otsmane-Elhaou) delivers on all of these fronts and more.

Flash Annual #3: Oh Boomerang, Where Art Thou?

Comic Book Reviews, DC EntertainmentBy Matt Meyer June 28, 2020 Leave a comment

In the end, despite its half-hearted attempt at unreliable narration, Flash Annual #3 (Williamson, Segovia, Peterson, Pagulayan) just comes off as a cheap attempt to force some laughs that aren’t really there to begin with. Add to that three artists with clashing styles, and you have a highly skippable $4.99 comic.
