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?

Hill (letters) The Story: A young Lex Luthor finds himself the unwilling “employee” of Darkseid and, in the back-up, the disciple of Ra’s Al-Ghul.

Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne #6 – Review

By: Grant Morrison (writer), Lee Garbett, Pere Perez (artists), Alejandro Sicat and Walden Wong (inks) The Story: Bruce Wayne arrives at the end of time, where those weird-eyed, fuzzy archivists help him along on the last leg of his journey through time and into the final steps of Darkseid’s plan to use him as a [...]

Batman #702 – Review

By: Grant Morrison (writer), Tony Daniel (artist), Ian Hannin (colors) The Story: R.I.P. The Missing Chapter, Part Two: Batman’s Last Case. This story fills in the gaps in the story of Batman and the Justice League prepping to face Darkseid, and what happens when they finally do. What’s Good: Batman #701 had sub-wowed me, so [...]

Titans #16 – Review

By Christopher Yost (writer), Angel Unzueta (artist), Wayne Faucher (inker), Edgar Delgado (colorist) The Story: The Titans book continues to examine its characters one by one.

By Grant Morrison (writer) Doug Mahnke (pencils), Tom Nguyen and Cristian Alamy (inks) The Story: DC’s Final Crisis concludes with Superman saving all of reality by defeating a resurrected Darkseid and an insidious Mandrakk, the Dark Monitor.

Final Crisis #6 – Review

By Grant Morrison (writer), JG Jones, Carlos Pacheco, Doug Mahnke, Marco Rudy, Chirstian Alamy, Jesus Merino (artists) Honestly?  I love Grant Morrison’s work.  I admire his wild imagination and flair for telling chaotic stories that somehow always manage to make a strange kind of sense.  I loved The Invisibles, JLA, We3 and New X-Men, and even [...]

Final Crisis #2 (of 7) – Review

By Grant Morrison (writer), J.G. Jones (art), and Alex Sinclair (colors) Listen: Just because Grant Morrison wrote it, it doesn’t mean it’s automatically good.
