By David Hine (writer), Georges Jeanty (artist), Mark McKenna (inker) From what I understand, “Faces of Evil” is supposedly tied to Final Crisis, and it supposed to portray what happens when evil finally wins. Okay, for the stories DC are telling right now, this seems like a logical event to run, right? You would think [...]

By Geoff Johns (writer), Ivan Reis (artist), Oclair Albert & Julio Ferreira (inkers), Nei Ruffino (colors) While Grant Morrison and Brian Michael Bendis fight furiously over whose “Event Story” is the bigger exercise in pretentious masturbation, Geoff Johns quietly toils away on Green Lantern, building on the fantastic mythology he first made famous in “Rebirth” [...]
