Legion Lost #4 – Review

Posted on December 21, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Fabian Nicieza (writer), Pete Woods (artist), Brad Anderson (colorist) The Story: This—is—Fargoooo!! The Review: To this day, I still don’t understand DC’s aversion to adopting Marvel’s recap page, which is one of the most practical, useful devices you can have in serial fiction. And it’s not just Marvel; TV shows use the opening “Previously…” [...]

Action Comics #4 – Review

Posted on December 8, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Too many to list—check out the review. The Story: Man of Steel, meet Man in Steel. The Review: I’ve become a bit wary of DC’s backup and co-features over time. The fact they hang on to a bigger, stronger storyline definitely poses some drawbacks. Only rarely do they have a charm and intrigue of [...]

The Review: I’ve noticed in reviews of the two new titles featuring the Legion of Super-Heroes that folks mostly take issue with the inaccessibility of the team itself. Like many DC properties, the Legion has a [...]

Legion Lost #1 – Review

Posted on September 17, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Fabian Nicieza (writer), Pete Woods (artist), Brad Anderson (colorist) The Story: Seems like everyone’s going retro these days. The Review: Paul Levitz’s at best uninspired run on Legion of Super-Heroes almost continuously dragged its heels from the day it relaunched and only rarely delivered any goods worth staying on for. Adventure Comics, its youthful [...]

By: Paul Cornell (writer), Kenneth Rocafort & Axel Giménez (artists), Brad Anderson (colorist) The Story: And I was like Doomsday, Doomsday, Doomsday, no… Stop singing? Okay.

By: Too many to list—check out the review. The Story: Lex Luthor is about to bring fun, love, and joy to all the people of the universe—the crazy part is I am being totally serious right now.

Posted on February 24, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Paul Cornell (writer), Pete Woods (artist), Brad Anderson (colorist) The Story: Something went severely amiss in Larfleeze and Lex Luthor’s upbringing, as they seriously need to learn to share.
