By: Grant Morrison (writer), Andy Kubert (penciller), John Dell (inker), Brad Anderson (colorist), Sholly Fisch (feature writer), Chriscross (feature artist), Jose Villarrubia (feature colorist) The Story: Now you know where all those little voices in your head are coming from. The Review: I don’t think I’m the only one, but I sometimes give Morrison a [...]

Action Comics #5 – Review

By: Too many to list—check out the review. The Story: Invasion of the Space Babies!  They’ll overwhelm you with their cuteness! The Review: The coming of Superman to Earth as a babe rocketed from the doomed planet of Krypton is probably the origin story of origin stories, one which still retains a lot of its [...]

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. The Review: And so we come to the end.  But what exactly is ending?  A misdirected war between races?  The atrocious perversion of an entire [...]

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. The Review: There are essentially two important conflicts driving the events in Flashpoint: you have Reverse Flash’s alterations to reality, the consequences of which remain unclear; and you also [...]

Flashpoint #2 – Review

By: Geoff Johns (writer), Andy Kubert (penciller), Sandra Hope (inker), Alex Sinclair (colorist) The Story: Barry, I need you to know, if you don’t make it through this…this is the stupidest thing you’ve ever done. The Review: Unlike many comic book Events, Flashpoint intends to move fast (ba-dum­-tch!), as its story has been written to [...]

Flashpoint #1 – Review

By: Geoff Johns (writer), Andy Kubert (penciller), Sandra Hope (inker), Alex Sinclair (colorist) The Story: Nothing is as it seems!  Everything isn’t as it should be!  Alright, some things are kind of the same! The Review: I’m a huge fan of parallel-universe nonsense; there are few things quite as fun as taking the familiar and [...]

DC Universe Legacies #2 – Review

Len Wein (writer), Scott Kolins (artist), Andy Kubert (penciler), Joe Kubert (inker) The history of the DCU continues to unfold as the story of Legacies proceeds forward.  Our Justice Society of America is called before Congress, specifically the Un-American Activities Committee is, to answer for their vigilante behavior, but face a difficult decision when demanded [...]

Batman #700 – Review

By: Grant Morrison (writer), Tony Daniel, Frank Quitely, Scott Kolins, Andy Kubert, and David Finch (artists), Ian Hannin, Alex Sinclair, Tony Avina, Brad Anderson, and Peter Steigerwald (colorists), Richard Friend (inker) The Story: Sometime in the past, Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson stop the Joker, the Riddler, Catwoman, the Scarecrow and the Mad Hatter from [...]

Detective Comics #853 – Review

Neil Gaiman (writer), Andy Kubert (artist), Alex Sinclair (colorist) Before the Review: If you haven’t already picked up Batman #686 (the first part of “Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?”) it is strongly urged that you do so. STRONGLY… The Story: It is a rare privilege to be present at one’s own funeral. Bruce Wayne, [...]

Batman #686 – Review

By Neil Gaiman (writer), Andy Kubert (artist), Scott Williams (inks), Alex Sinclair (colors), Jared K. Fletcher (letters) Some Thoughts Before The Review: He’s fucking dead?! Well no, not exactly. We’re dealing with Grant Morrison here after all, so we can’t exactly buy the fact that Bruce Wayne/ Batman is dead. Plus the last time we [...]

Trinity #9 – Review

By Kurt Busiek, Fabian Nicieza (writers), Mark Bagley, Tom Derenick, Wayne Faucher (artists), Art Thibert & Andy Owens (inks), Pete Pantazis, Allen Passalaqua (colors), Pat Brosseau, Ken Lopez (letters), Andy Kubert (cover) I said before that Trinity is the biggest disappointment so far this year. In that regard, this issue doesn’t fail me and, well, [...]

Trinity #7 – Review

By Kurt Busiek, Fabian Nicieza (writers), Mark Bagley, Tom Derenick, Wayne Faucher (artists), Art Thibert (inker), Pete Pantazis, Allen Passalaqua (colors), Pat Brosseau, Ken Lopez (letters), Andy Kubert (cover) For each glimmer of hope, there is a reminder of why Trinity is mediocre. Even with everything that’s happening I don’t feel any significant story movement. [...]

The Joker’s Asylum: The Joker – Review

By Arvid Nelson (writer), Alex Sanchez (artist), Jose Villarrubia (colors), Rob Leigh (letters), Andy Kubert (cover) My initial reaction to this book was “missed opportunity”. After my second read and some debate with a friend, I love it. My expectations were hurting my initial perception of the book. Instead of the psycho we’re accustomed to [...]

Tor #2 (of 5) – Review

By Joe Kubert (art, colors & story), Pete Carlsson (colors) The beauty of Tor is that it’s a simple story of survival that’s presented by one of the Godfathers of comics and boy does he know how to tell a story. This second issue is just another brilliant exhibition of how storytelling should be done [...]

Tor #1 (of 5) – Review

By Joe Kubert (art, colors & story), Pete Carlsson (colors) In many ways I can’t help but feel that Tor is an advertisement for Joe Kubert’s School of Art. I’m sure that’s clearly not the intent, but it’s hard for me to feel otherwise. Those ads that have graced comic book pages over the years [...]
