Review: Superman #1
By Damien Becton
Brian Michael Bendis makes his (official) debut on Superman with this week’s relaunch of the hero’s main title. It has been a long-awaited debut as the past couple of months DC has been promoting this story with “BENDIS IS COMING” ads. Now he's here and paired with Ivan Reis. So, does this issue live up to the hype? For the most part, yeah, it does! It’s everything you would expect from a good Bendis book - and some bad things you would expect.
Review: The Man of Steel #6
By Garrett Hanneken
With the announcement that Brian Michael Bendis will be writing the forthcoming Superman titles starting with The Man of Steel, I would say most people wanted to check out The Man of Steel first before diving into his Superman or Action Comics. The reason being, so people can get a taste as to how Bendis will handle Superman. Now that The Man of Steel has ended, fans will either feel a need to continue with Bendis’ Superman, feel let down, or feel indifferent about everything. With that said, I would have to go with the latter.
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: The Man of Steel #2
By Garrett Hanneken
By the second or third issue of a comic, fans should get a feel as to whether they want to continue buying the series. This is even truer when it comes to a mini-series since fans will decide fast if they want to drop the comic because if it doesn’t grab their attention quickly, then there is little hope that it will later. So, is The Man of Steel #2 worth reading?
All Things Considered, Superman Is Still Better Than Batman
The long ongoing debate about which superhero beats the other can easily get people’s knickers in a twist, and regardless of the endless cases made for each side, die-hard fans are not easily swayed and would much rather go at each other’s throat than to betray their favourite superhero. So, of course, I am aware that I won’t be putting an end to this debate today, but that’s the fun of it, because what’s better than engaging in some playful banter about fictional figures that do not exist?

Review: Action Comics Special #1
By Jonathan Edwards
I love Superman. Plain and simple. When I was a kid, I only really liked him because, well, I was a kid, and he was a superhero. The superhero. And, for a few teenage years, I didn’t like him for all of the easy, low hanging fruit reasons to dislike him. He’s too strong. He’s boring. His one weakness is too readily available. Blah blah blah. But, when I finally sat down and actually read books like Superman: Birthright, Superman: Secret Identity, Kingdom Come, and All-Star Superman, I quickly came to love him for everything he truly embodies. So, you better believe I was hyped when I found out that, among other things, Rebirth meant the original Superman was returning to the limelight. Now, just a couple of weeks ago Action Comics #1000 came out and paid thorough homage to the legacy of the Man of Steel. Admittedly, I stopped reading Action Comics after a couple of months, mainly because I found the other Clark Kent (when that was still a thing) to be insufferable. However, I absolutely picked up that issue, and it was fantastic. So, I am kind of surprised to see Action Comics Special #1 come out this week. Maybe it’s just me, but it seems a bit strange, maybe even pointless, to release a special right after the infinitely more special 1000th issue.
Review: DC Nation #0
By Hunter T. Patrick
Finally. This is a word to describe the first story in DC’s anthology sampler in time for free comic book day. The trouble with this book though is it is a luxury item if you try to get it during free comic book day as it is the very large cost of 25 cents. Is it worth it? Beyond a doubt. If this review factored in price, then this will easily be a perfect score. This review does not, and instead will look at all three stories and grade them individually before the big reveal for the score of this issue!! (spoiler this issue is a 4/5).
Review: Action Comics #1000
By Garrett Hanneken
Hope is important, it pushes us towards something better, and it can make a meaningless life meaningful. We hope for a better future, but we also, as poet Robert Frost points out, hope that the past turned out all right for what it was.

“Dude, this week’s Let’s Anime is all deranged romance.”
“So Lindsay picked the shows?”
“Obviously. She’s back with Please Excuse My Younger Brothers, and the family tree is becoming a dating app.”
“Please excuse my WHAT?”
“Exactly. Then there’s Firefly Wedding, where she’s defending the murderous fiancé again.”
“Okay, but does he care about her?”
“He’s lurking in the rafters with a sword.”
“So he’s present.”
“That’s basically her argument. Meanwhile, Dustin watched What’s Wrong with Getting Reborn as a Goblin? These goblins live seven days, bang constantly, and pass down their abilities when they die.”
“Seven days? How do they get anything done?”
“The reincarnated office guy introduces management.”
“Bro got isekai’d and brought corporate restructuring?”
“And Dustin actually likes it. There’s politics, weird powers—”
“Does he talk about the economy?”
“Lindsay already asked. Then he covers Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! He’s got an overpowered ship, an elf, another girl—”
“Harem.”
“—and he’s waiting for the plot to start.”
“The plot started. You just listed it.”
“There’s also an argument about whether Lindsay will watch Paws and Palaces.”
“The cat one? Doesn’t she love cats?”
“Apparently the cats require the correct country of origin.”
“How long before they actually talk about anime?”
“First you have to hear why Dustin couldn’t hand out candy in his inflatable Jeff the Shark costume.”
“Fine. I’m listening.”
