DetailsDC Comics has cut ties with Diamond Comic Distributors in surprise industry move.
DetailsIvar, Timewalker #1-4
Originality meets hilarious sci-fi filled action in a story that questions not just time itself, but also your very own place in history! There is plenty of humor, but there is also tragedy, discovery, disappointment, and the hope for something greater that all help to give Ivar, Timewalker #1-4 (Van Lente, Henry, Reber, Sharpe) a sense of uniqueness.
DetailsTeen Titans #41 (Glass, Thompson, Pansica, Ferreira, Maiolo) shows the writers of this book running on fumes, as “Djinn Wars” comes to a jaw-droppingly easy conclusion and the characters keep circling back to their inherent mistrust of Robin, who continues to be stuck in neutral right now as well, unable to admit his mistakes. A once-great book that has apparently run out of ideas, the art is stellar, but that’s about it.
DetailsBlack Lightning
Jefferson Pierce is definitely an “Arrowverse” protagonist, seen from his incredible chemistry with the other heroes during Crisis, but he feels awkward in a show that is much grittier than the rest. Going into the finale, the new antagonist is a lot more sympathetic than previous ones yet also one-shotted Jennifer, the strongest member of the team, leaving us on the edge of our seats to see what Black Lightning will do to save Freeland this time.
DetailsJustice League Dark #22
Justice League Dark #22 (V, Tynion IV, Martinez Bueno, Nahuelpan, Fernandez, Chung, Leigh) finds strength in the exploration of humanity, the natural order of chaos and how we can influence it with our own story, getting right to the heart of what this entire series has been about. It’s a can’t miss issue for sure.
DetailsAction Comics #1022
Action Comics #1022 (Bendis, Romita Jr., Miki, Anderson) continues to show how well Bendis and Romita Jr. work together. The dust is still settling since the previous issue, but a strange family reunion leaves Superman with more questions than answers.
DetailsBlack Lightning
As with many superhero shows, “Black Lightning” starts off a little weak and uninspired, but it quickly picks itself up and sets itself apart. It is helped both by a strong metaplot building up over the years and a cast that feels both intense yet very real.
DetailsALPHA FLIGHT #4 (1983)
Alpha Flight #4 (1983), (Byrne, Yanchus), tells a story of science fiction. Marrina’s origin revealed, but is it too late to save her from her captive’s torture? Someone is not thrilled about a secret love affair between two Alpha Flight members!
DetailsMYTHOS: X-Men #1
There is no getting around it, Mythos: X-Men #1 (Jenkins, Rivera, Caramagna) is frustratingly subpar. There just isn’t much to be gained aside from some enjoyable visuals that can’t be better substantiated by going back to the 1963 classic #1 issue this story is based on.
DetailsGreen Lantern Season Two #3
Green Lantern Season Two #3 (Morrison, Sharp, Orzechowski) continues the fun and adventurous one-and-done storytelling of the series so far, but Morrison’s script is brought down by so-so art by Liam Sharp, who handles art and colors this issue.
DetailsWarren Ellis and Tom Raney’s Change or Die gave us versions of the tropes who could change the world.
