Blackest Night # 0 – Review

Posted on May 3, 2009 by Ray Hilario

By Geoff Johns (writer), Ivan Reis (artist), Alex Sinclair (colorist), Oclair Albert & Rob Hunter (inkers) Some Thoughts Before the Review: For some reason, I have a feeling that this free oneshot is going to be unusually good; unusual considering the lackluster efforts in the previous and current Green Lantern arcs. It will probably be [...]

By Grant Morrison (writer), Lee Garbett (pencils), Trevor Scott (inks), Guy Major (colors) The Story: We continue the trip through Batman’s mind as Lump works his through Bruce’s memories.

DC Universe: Last Will and Testament #1 – Review

Posted on August 27, 2008 by Deamentia

By Brad Meltzer (writer), Adam Kubert and Joe Kubert (pencils), John Dell (inks), Alex Sinclair (colors) I knew DC Comics would “get back at us” after giving us DC Universe #0 for 50 cents. At $3.99 you get 32 pages of story, but dammit, it’s just outrageous and these companies keep hitting this price point [...]

Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds #1 (of 5) – Review

Posted on August 21, 2008 by Deamentia

By Geoff Johns, George Perez, Scott Koblish, Hi-Fi I am incredibly impressed with this book. It’s not George Perez’s artwork, though it should be noted that this guy never ceases to awe and impress me. Geoff Johns has somehow taken one of the largest, most diverse superhero teams (bloated with a convoluted history) and made [...]

Final Crisis #3 (of 7) – Review

Posted on August 6, 2008 by Deamentia

By Grant Morrison (writer), J. G. Jones (artist), Alex Sinclair (colors) Alright, Mr. Morrison, you are officially off the hook.

Final Crisis: Requiem – Review

Posted on July 14, 2008 by Deamentia

By Peter Tomasi (writer), Doug Mahnke (pencils), Chrstian Alamy with Rodney Ramos (inks), Nei Ruffino (colors) I thought this book was going to be just a bunch of heroes crying over Martian Manhunter. And we get a bit of that in the opening pages, but from there it goes into eulogy about J’onn J’onzz’s life, [...]

Final Crisis #2 (of 7) – Review

Posted on June 25, 2008 by Deamentia

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. Don’t believe any of the pretentious reviews out there that praise this book. They’re mostly written by Grant Morrison fanboys who will love anything he writes – even if it’s crap. [...]

Final Crisis #1 (of 7) – Review

Posted on May 29, 2008 by Deamentia

By Grant Morrison, J.G. Jones, and Alex Sinclair As someone who’s not well versed in the DC Universe, I gotta say, this issue will do nothing but confuse and detract new readers to the DC line. The problem is so much of this story is entrenched in DC lore that it’s impossible for new (or [...]

Posted on May 1, 2008 by Deamentia

By Grant Morrison and Geoff Johns (writer) George Pérez, Tony Daniel, J.G. Jones, Aaron Lopresti, Ivan Reis, Philip Tan and Carlos Pacheco (art) Other than Wonder Woman, Batman, Green Lantern, and the occasional Superman book, I’m not exactly in touch with the DC Universe these day. Well, if you’re in the same boat as me, [...]
