Despite incredible art, Future State – The Flash #1 (Vietti, Eaglesham, Atiyeh, Wands) is a messy comic storywise. Overreliance on expositional dialogue and a lack of exploring the world it’s set in leaves a comic readers will be struggling to remember. #DCComics
DetailsThe future is wide open in the epic Dark Nights: Death Metal #7 (@Ssnyder1835 @GregCapullo @jonathanglapion @fcoo @TENapolitano). This comic is mind-blowing on every level, flawless in execution! Tomorrow is now, & no fan will want to miss it! #DCComics
DetailsSadly, “Enter the Phoenix” gets off to a by-the-numbers, predictable start in Avengers #40 (Aaron, Garron, Curiel). There just isn’t enough meat on the bone to justify this story beyond stereotypical superhero punch-’em-up.
DetailsThe Last 52 – War of the Multiverses #1
Dark Nights Death Metal: The Last 52 – War of the Multiverses #1 is a comic about hope, just when we need it most. It isn’t perfect, but if it doesn’t make you smile as heroes rage in defiance of certain doom, I don’t know what will. #DCComics
DetailsA Very Lobo Hanukkah
DC’s Very Merry Multiverse #1 (King, Koblish, Hi-Fi) closes on a tone-deaf note when Lobo, of all characters, is transposed as a very, very violent representative for the Jewish people in “A Very Lobo Hanukkah.”
DetailsThe Secret Origin
Dark Nights: Death Metal – The Secret Origin #1 (Snyder, Johns, et al.) feels like it’s trying to cram too much into an already-overstuffed story, & despite some strong & unexpected character beats, winds up falling victim to its own lack of necessity.
DetailsTeen Titans: Endless Winter Special #1 (@AndyLanning @ronmarz @MSantucciArt @JssMerino) is a great bridge between the recent past & near future of the Titans franchise, as well as being another solid installment of “Endless Winter!” #DCComics
DetailsJustice League #58 (@AndyLanning @ronmarz @Xermanico @MSantucciArt) shows readers a different side John Stewart, and “Endless Winter” is all the better for it. This crossover is far stronger than it has any right to be, and shouldn’t be missed! #DCComics
DetailsAquaman #66 (@AndyLanning @ronmarz @MSantucciArt @Mikemaluk): ENDLESS WINTER, Pt. 4! Aquaman & Mera may have found an army of allies that could turn the tide against the Frost King… but is it too easy? Don’t sleep on this fun story! #DCComics
DetailsDark Nights: Death Metal #6
Dark Nights: Death Metal #6 (@Ssnyder1835 @GregCapullo @jonathanglapion) continues to prove what an event comic ought to be: big, bold, & bombastic fun, but also capable of being small and intimate. This is comics storytelling at its finest. #DCComics
DetailsSuperman: Endless Winter Special #1 (@AndyLanning @ronmarz @philhester @MSantucciArt) hits an emotional highpoint for the Man of Steel, bringing some gravitas and weight to the story thus far. #DCComics
Details“Endless Winter” rages on in Flash #767 (@AndyLanning @ronmarz @claytonhenryart Maolo @swands), a fun romp of a comic that doesn’t ask much more of its readers than to buckle up and enjoy the ride. And that’s more than enough! #DCComics
