So many people slagging off Justice league, but I'm really enjoying it! Proper old fashioned superhero fighting amongst themselves, classic stuff!
Batman was good as well, interesting which way it's going. Not had chance to read any others yet, will post back later!
We built this city on Rock and Roll!
Wonder Woman #2 had a big "This Changes Everything" revelation at the end. I won't spoil it here, but it had already been spoiled on teh interwebz. Still, I thought the set up leading up to it was really well done, and it is something that will likely define a lot of the conflict in this title going forward.
With Justice League #2 it was fun to see how the heroes interact with each other when meeting for the first time (for the most part) in DC's revamped history.
With GLC #2, I do love watching the Corps function as a corps. And the new enemy certainly looks promising. But the "mysterious new enemy" thing has been done to death. I expect I'll care a lot more when more is revealed about them.
AE Arcs: #10482 N00b Rescue Duty, #164100 The Four Treasures of the Tuatha De Dannan
Here's the DC issues I've reviewed so far... I was looking forward to this line up and it more or less let me down...
LoSH #2 = D-
GLC #2 = C
Supergirl #2 = B+
Nightwing #2 = D-
Batman #2 = A+
Justice League #2 = F
I'll be rating the other 7 titles later, probably early tomorrow or late today >.>
DCUO: Legends = B
wonder woman #2 = C-
red hood and the outlaws #2 = D
dc universe presents #2 = A
catwoman #2 = C
captain atom #2 = C-
blue beetle #2 = C
birds of prey #2 = C
The final member of Birds of Prey is certainly an interesting choice. I'm keen to know how exactly it's going to work. Canary's going to have her work cut out to keep this lot in line.
Wonder Woman is looking like it'll be pretty good too so far, can they have actually got her right for a change?
Batman is still pretty good, liking the new enemy group and how Batman reacts to it.
Supergirl was much better paced this time round, I'll probably keep reading it!

You gave it a D? That's a big upgrade from the F- it was last month. What happened in this issue, if I may ask?

New Webcomic -- Genocide Man
Life is funny. Death is funnier. Mass slaughter can be hilarious.
I think it's this issue had more of a story to it.
First issue had a story, but it was hidden under all the other stuff, and really was more of a teaser.

So in this issue... we get Todd's semi-orign No progress in plot A Talia that looks way too young Characters acting completely out of character for their previous incarnations And Kori acting completely different than how she was acting in issue #1. Was anything in this book funny? Interesting? Anything that made me want to read more? Nope, and none of the details the the supposed plot made any sense with anything else we know in the DCU. This is a below average issue in what looks to be a bland to below average title... |
It roughly expanded the information exposition section at the end of the last issue and put in memory/active participation role...It had a ton of what made it bad from the last issue...
