DC fan's irrational fear of Scott Snyder gets less irrational with each project. I'll be blunt- this Justice League title is fatally underwhelming. We have seen all of this before- the massive monster fights, the villain plotting, the team that reluctantly works together- it's been done. There's such strong support for this specific Justice League line up from fans of the animated series, and it's heartbreaking to see their potential ignored.

Using personified animals has been a very lucrative and productive method throughout the history of animation and cartoons. Disney consistently makes a hit movie every couple of years with this premise, and Fables used this idea to some extent as well. We could even go back to Animal Farm for instance. But that would be the only way that a book such as Unnatural could be mentioned within the same breath of said institutions. Unnatural #1 is one of the most heavy-handed, low grabbing, and uncomfortable stories I’ve read in a long time if not ever. I’d recommend anyone steers clear of this story unless they’re interested in low quality furry fan-fiction.
Sometimes what makes Superman a relatable superhero is when he’s at his lowest. The Man of Steel is a symbol of hope and the epitome of what a superhero should be so when a story challenges his status we begin to see Superman as a vulnerable and human character. With that noted, the latest issue of The Man of Steel ditches the almighty demeanor of its titular character and gives us one who is powerless.

Media depends on and reflects or draws inspiration from whatever goes in the outside world around it. What is currently happening in America right now only adds to the power and sheer brilliance that is Days of Hate. Days ago news reports came that ICE and border control were separating children from their parents at the Mexican border and placing these children in crates. Some outlets compared them to internment camps. I only mention this because these real-world struggles are literally only small steps away from the hellhole that Aleš Kot, Danijel Žeželj, and Jordie Bellaire depict in their harrowing, bone-chilling saga that is Days of Hate. Days of Hate #6 ends the first half of the tale with a bang, placing all of our “heroes” in dire and dangerous territory.

At least the art looks good. We are now at the penultimate issue of Liam Sharp’s Wonder Woman follow-up with Batman. The two deals with Celtic mythology. Wonder Woman is chosen while Gotham gets invaded and thus the two heroes team up. Out of the Trinity, Batman and Wonder Woman have the least amount of a relationship, and so the premise of these two together is strong. Do not get it wrong though; this is mainly a Wonder Woman story… at first. Where we are now being full-on Celtic mythology. The title of the book is a mislead, and for that, it worsens the book. It is expected to be an awesome team-up between the two characters. This issue balances between the mythology and the titular heroes, but it still may draw people out. If someone bought the first four issues, then, of course, this issue is a necessity. Not the best one, but still gorgeous.
