Review: Green Lanterns #50

By Cat Wyatt

This issue of the Green Lanterns is the 50th, and therefore it’s certainly got something special in mind. For one thing, it’s longer than the standard issue, with a few extra pages thrown in for our benefit. The issue itself is titled ‘Evil’s Might Part One’ which certainly doesn’t sound good. It doesn’t look like they’re doing a tie-in with what has been happening in Hal Jordan, which means we’re about to see another major event happening in the outer universe for DC.

Review: Catwoman #1

By Hunter T. Patrick

Keep reading this review if you have read Batman #50 (meow if so), or if sadly Batman #50 was spoiled for you (hiss). Do not keep reading if you have not found out what happens in the "historic" Batman #50.

Review: Quantum and Woody #7

By Robert Ramos

After last month’s whatever, we’re back at it with another installment from the World’s Worst Superheroes. Did the duo survive after the 24 hours of not klanging? If they do, do they still have their powers? More importantly, do I give a shit about this story yet?

Review: Blackwood #2

By Dustin Cabeal

I’ve written about this many times in reviews, but there was one point in my review life that I feared first issues more than second issues. The first issue is the journey into the unknown. You can’t possibly know if you’ll like the book at all until you crack up the pages for the first time. This, of course, leads to finding a lot of comics that aren’t in your wheelhouse. A few years back though it was as if every creator figured out the formula for a successful first issue. It could have been something amazing, but instead what happened was mediocre to poor second issues that felt more like first issues. It was like someone pulled some zero issue bullshit and so one after the other, I read horrible second issues. Suddenly, first issues didn’t even phase me. I expected them to be good to great, but to this day I still live in fear of the second issue because they still rear their ugly heads and send me away from a series faster than you can count the number of first issues released by Marvel in the past year.

Review: The Man of Steel #5

By Garrett Hanneken

The Man of Steel has been showcasing an array of all-star artists and issue number five is no exception as artist Adam Hughes steps up to the plate. Unfortunately, this is not one of Hughes’ best work and it is not one of the best issues either.

Review: Modern Fantasy #1

By Dustin Cabeal

There are glimpses of brilliance in the first issue of Modern Fantasy, but just that. The first issue provides all the information that one needs from the story. We know the characters, we understand the plot, and ultimately, we can relate to the main character’s desire for more from her life. Will the story take a dark turn and make our main character regret her desire for adventure? It’s not likely. We’re probably getting ready for a good old fashion romp.

Review: Lucy Dreaming #4

By Cat Wyatt

Lucy Dreaming #4 is the second to last in the series, so naturally, there’s going to be a huge revelation in this one. So far we’ve seen Lucy delve into the dream world, as she slowly learns about this new world and ability set she has. We have yet to see a major antagonist, which means we’re likely going to meet one here.

Review: Mera Queen of Atlantis #5

By Kelly Gaines

Welcome to Game of Thrones: Atlantis. If you've needed some incestuous relationships and trial by combat to hold you over until GOT's final season, you're in luck. Mera's path to a throne she did not even originally want has gotten exponentially harder, and the new complications make a solid case for why royal lineages simply don't work. Mera: Queen of Atlantis has reached its fifth installment of the six-part series. For those of you that have been buckled into DC's resident fairy-tale, the approaching ending is bittersweet. It's been a dramatic and beautifully written ride, and on a personal level, I'm very excited to see how they wrap up this side narrative in the Aquaman mythos.
