Superboy #3 – Review

By: Scott Lobdell (writer), R.B. Silva (penciller), Rob Lean (inker), Richard & Tanya Horie (colorists) The Story: She’s melting—melting! The Review: From the start, this series has emphasized Superboy’s disconnect from the “outside.”  His virtual existence has prevented him from taking a position on the big moral compass one way or the other, and so [...]

Superboy #1 – Review

By: Scott Lobdell (writer), R.B. Silva (penciller), Rob Lean (inker), the Hories (colorists) The Story: Look on the bright side, Superboy—you could also be a monkey. The Review: It seems like no one really knows what to do with Superboy’s character.  The inconsistency in his various portrayals says it all: he’s gone from swinging teenager, [...]

Flashpoint: The Outsider #3 – Review

By: James Robinson (writer), Javi Fernandez (artist), Rich & Tanya Horie (colorists) The Story: Dang it, Outsider, look at the shape you left the Martian Manhunter in. The Review: What with the Flash, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Batman (or at least, the appearance of him) starring in Flashpoint, while Superman and Green Lantern take turns [...]

Flashpoint: Deathstroke and the Curse of the Ravager #3 – Review

By: Jimmy Palmiotti (writer), Tony Shasteen & Alex Massacci (artists), Rich and Tanya Horie (colorists) The Story: I’ll be a sea monkey’s uncle before I let my daughter get daddy issues! The Review: If you want people to care about something, you have to let them spend some time with it.  That goes double for [...]

Flashpoint: The Outsider #2 – Review

By: James Robinson (writer), Javi Fernandez (artist), Rich & Tanya Horie (colorists) The Story: He’ll give you two choices: yes or yes.  Did I stutter? The Review: It’s still rather hard to know what to make of the Outsider.  Like Shade, one of Robinson’s famous pet characters, Michael Desai has a very complicated moral compass.  [...]

Flashpoint: Deathstroke and the Curse of the Ravager #2 – Review

By: Jimmy Palmiotti (writer), Joe Bennett & Tony Shasteen (artists), Rich & Tanya Horie (colorists) The Story: One can never tell what lies under the sea…mayhap a dude in a fish mask and high-collar cape. The Review: Here’s the thing about pirates: expect a lot of hacking and slashing, but don’t expect much in the [...]

Flashpoint: The Outsider #1 – Review

By: James Robinson (writer), Javi Fernandez (artist), Rich & Tanya Horie (colorists) The Story: Even when he’s right in front of you, you’re not really talking face-to-face. The Review: After perusing Robinson’s rather tepid run on Justice League of America and Cry for Justice, I wondered what all the fuss about him was about until [...]

R.E.B.E.L.S. #26 – Review

By: Tony Bedard (writer), Daniel HDR & Claude St. Aubin (pencillers), Scott Hana (inker), Rich & Tanya Horie (colorists) The Story: Place your bets, folks—who’ll destroy the system first: a Starro invasion, or a rampage of Lobo clones? The Review: By now, you should know the drill: with this title’s cancellation imminent, a step back [...]

R.E.B.E.L.S. #25 – Review

By: Tony Bedard (writer), Claude St. Aubin (penciller), Scott Hanna (inker), Rich and Tanya Horie (colorists) The Story: The return of Starro the Conquerer!  Or, more technically, the return of the return of Starro the Conquerer!  By the way, it’s raining Czarnians. The Review: There are generally two kinds of villains: your garden-variety, day-to-day thugs [...]
