Stormwatch #6 – Review

By: Paul Cornell (writer), Miguel Sepulveda (artist), Alex Sinclair & Pete Pantazis (colorists) The Story: Just ‘cause you’re dying in space doesn’t mean you can’t get a little flirting on! The Review: Ahh…nothing like a bunch of creative shake-ups to get the emotions flowing, huh?  By now, DC’s first wave of cancellations, replacements, and switcheroos [...]

Green Lantern #5 – Review

By: Geoff Johns (writer), Doug Mahnke (penciller), Mark Irwin, Keith Champagne, Christian Alamy, Tom Nguyen (inkers), Alex Sinclair & Tony Avina (colorists) The Story: Instead of power rings, maybe it’s best the mob goes back to pitchforks and torches.

Justice League #4 – Review

By: Geoff Johns (writer), Jim Lee (penciller), Scott Williams (inker), Alex Sinclair & Gabe Eltaeb (colorist) The Story: Vic, would this be a bad time for me to suggest you star as the new Bionic Man?

Green Lantern #4 – Review

By: Geoff Johns (writer), Doug Mahnke (penciller), Christian Alamy & Keith Champagne (inkers), Alex Sinclair (colorist) The Story: Sinestro, you can’t just hand out these power rings like they’re candy!

Stormwatch #4 – Review

By: Paul Cornell (writer), Miguel Sepulveda (artist), Alex Sinclair (colorist) The Story: This alien apparently never learned not to scarf its food. The Review: In my mind, the big appeal of Stormwatch is their incredible scope.  Between their ages-old mandate and their huge variety of abilities, nothing seems off limits to them, not even the [...]

Justice League #3 – Review

By: Geoff Johns (writer), Jim Lee (penciller), Scott Williams (inker), Alex Sinclair, Hi-Fi, Gabe Eltaeb (colorist) The Story: Those ain’t no flying monkeys!

Justice League #2 – Review

By: Geoff Johns (writer), Jim Lee (penciller), Scott Williams (inker), Alex Sinclair (colorist) The Story: You know, I guess it’s not a new-fangled Rubik’s cube after all.

Stormwatch #2 – Review

By: Paul Cornell (writer), Miguel Sepulveda & Al Barrionuevo (artists), Alex Sinclair (colorist) The Story: I’m guessing none of these people played “Follow the Leader” very well as kids. The Review: Paul Cornell has certainly set aside for himself a quirky territory in the world of comics.  Almost everything he writes has a sincerely strange [...]

Justice League #1 – Review

By: Geoff Johns (writer), Jim Lee (penciller), Scott Williams (inker), Alex Sinclair (colorist) The Story: I have only one question—what happened to everybody’s underwear? The Review: Funny.  It doesn’t feel like a new age of comics.  But DC insists one has come, and seeing the enormous slate they’ve just wiped clean, we must take their [...]

Flashpoint #5 – Review

By: Geoff Johns (writer), Andy Kubert (penciller), Sandra Hope & Jesse Delperdang (inkers), Alex Sinclair (colorist) The Story: The Flash realizes sometimes it’s better to just start from square one.

Flashpoint #4 – Review

By: Geoff Johns (writer), Andy Kubert (penciller), Jesse Delperdang (inker), Alex Sinclair (colorist) The Story: Remember kids: never accept juice boxes from strangers. The Review: It’s pretty clear that whatever point Johns originally conceived Flashpoint with, the series serves little more purpose now than as a convenient vehicle to carry the upcoming DCU into fruition.  [...]

Flashpoint #3 – Review

  By: Geoff Johns (writer), Andy Kubert (penciller), Sandra Hope (inker), Alex Sinclair (colorist) The Story: Huh…  So this is Superman.  He’s shorter than I imagined.

Flashpoint #2 – Review

By: David Finch (writer and penciller), Scott Williams (inker), Alex Sinclair (colors) The Story: Golden Dawn, Part Two: Batman and the Penguin tangle over exactly who is interrogation whom.

Batman: The Dark Knight #1 – Review

By: David Finch (writer, artist), Scott Williams (inker), Alex Sinclair (colorist) The Story: The Golden Dawn, Part One: Dawn Golden, a childhood friend, if not a childhood fascination, of Bruce Wayne’s, has disappeared.
