Review: My Girlfriend Is Too Much To Handle
By Dustin Cabeal
You’re probably saying, “doesn’t this have a different title” and you’d be correct, but I don’t like that title, so I went with the title Amazon gave it because even they were like, “no, we’re not calling it that.” The actual title has a translation that doesn’t quite translate to another language, but roughly it’s virgin with sexual knowledge. Hence the banana.
Review: Justice League of America #22
By Jonathan Edwards
Huh. In a lot of ways, Justice League of America #22 is a pretty decent, even good, issue. And, that’s legitimately surprising. Steve Orlando’s entire JLA run has been building up to this story, but so much of it has been mediocre (or just plain bad) that it was hard to expect much good to come from “Deadly Fable.” Any yet, so far, it’s avoided a number of previously seen pitfalls. In place of the usually paper-thin and blatantly wrong antagonists, we get one with relatively sounds motivations and rationales behind her actions and statements. At least for a villain. Instead of ungrateful civilians who’re willing to turn against the JLA at the drop of a hat, we get citizens that’re concerned and horrified by their defeat. And, even the majority of the heroes react and respond appropriately to their given circumstances. Killer Frost is perhaps the major exception, but at the same time, her irrationality isn’t wholly without justification either. It’s not flawless, but it is a substantial step in the right direction.
Review: Justice League of America #21
By Jonathan Edwards
Justice League of America #21 is a one-shot focusing on the book’s most likable character: Ray “totally not an insufferably whiny and pretentious man-child” Terrill. Yippee skippy. Of course, just like every other time JLA has put the spotlight on Ray, the goal is to illustrate just how good and fair and doggone heroic he is. And believe it or not, this is the most successful attempt made to date. Yet, it’s not because Ray suddenly and inexplicably turning into a decent character. Rather, it’s because he finally runs into someone that preaches and screams at him at least as much as he does to everyone else.
Review: Doomsday Clock #2
By Dustin Cabeal
It’s likely that Doomsday Clock will go down as the greatest waste of Gary Frank’s talents. I pop for the artwork for sure, but this story is so incredibly dull. I 100% stand by everything I said in my first review of the series. None of that has changed. This is just Geoff Johns making sure he’s the one that gets to play in the Watchmen world before anyone else can. I’m sure next year we’ll see plenty of the characters as they flood the DCU… or maybe not.
Review: Batgirl and the Birds of Prey #18
By Cat Wyatt
Issue number 18 for Batgirl and the Birds of Prey is more a single issue story than the start of a new plot. This one happens to be titled Eco-Deadly (got to love the environmentally conscious points of this series). Joining Batgirl on this adventure (because Batgirl is obviously involved) are Black Canary and Huntress. Which is pretty standard, as the rest of the ladies tend to be pretty busy.
Review: Giants #2
By Dustin Cabeal
Giants is definitely one of the best new titles from Dark Horse since Black Hammer. It’s been a while since I enjoyed a sci-fi title as much as I have Giants, but also, I will always have a soft spot for Dark Horse. The past few years have left me wanting to read more from them, but ultimately, not finding much that I enjoyed. After just two issues, Giants has me looking forward to the next month and the one after.
Review: Judas #2
By Dustin Cabeal
If I had only two words to describe Judas, it would be “Forced Drama.” If I had more than two words, which I do, it would probably be: Judas and Lucifer, shooting the shit in hell. The concerning thing about this comic is that we’re halfway through it and so far the only thing that’s happened is a condensed retelling of Judas’ story and Lucifer’s story. I sure as hell hope that the condensed retellings are somehow important to their character development in the next two issues because otherwise it was a waste of time and will likely be the sinking point of this mini-series.
Review: Suicide Squad #33
By Cat Wyatt
Apparently, this week was the week that DC decided to change things up with their plots (see my review for Wonder Woman). I love that they’re trying some new things, and this issue is no exception. In issue #33 of Suicide Squad, the perspective is not from one of the antiheroes we’re used to, but rather an unknown Task Force X recruit named Juan Soria.
Review: Ninjak vs. The Valiant Universe #1
By Dustin Cabeal
I will tell you something; I’m glad I read the first page of this comic. It’s a letter from Publisher Fred Pierce talking about the creation of this comic. The title of the series might be familiar in that it shares the name and concept as the web series that Valiant and Super Power Beat Down did last year.
Review: Sleepless #2
By Ben Snyder
Another entry into the Sleepless series another peak into the fantastical world these characters inhibit. While Sleepless #2 focuses more so on the politics of this universe, the few tidbits of information we get regarding the world, and it’s varying inhabitants and organizations definitely do the story justice and flesh out a much larger and intricate universe that one would initially assume.
