Comic Reviews - Week of November 9th, 2005
It’s a great week to be a DC comics fan as Infinite Crisis #2 hits the stands. Another slow week for me, although I think it was supposed to be busier. I’m pretty sure a few things didn’t ship that were supposed to as I only picked up 3 books again this week when I budgeted for 7. Hmm… maybe I missed some?
INIFINITE CRISIS #2 – Might as well start off with the big daddy this week. Damn this is an exciting story. I didn’t know where they were going with the storyline after the ending of #1, where the Superman and Lois from Earth-2, Luthor of Earth-3 and Superboy of Earth-Prime showed up. Apparently they’re here to kick some hero ass because they’re pissed that the heroes of this Earth have let the joy’s of life disappear and are now only concerned with despair and the like.
We also learn that Power Girl is Supergirl from Earth-2 but somehow, like falling through the cracks, ended up back in the timeline. It explains why she doesn’t have any connections to anybody.
Pretty exciting stuff as Booster Gold shows up again from the future to find Blue Beetle’s scarab and Batman is getting taunted by Brother Eye.
The ending sets up the conflict for the last 5 books in the series. Can’t wait to see what happens. Right now I’m predicting that the heroes from the Multi-verse go so crazy that they can not be stopped and Superman of the real reality has to make the decision, for the first time, to actively kill somebody.
Yes, I’m saying that Superman will be the only person capable of killing them and will go through with it, understanding what Wonder Woman had to do.
A CUT & PRINT THIS IS TRULY AN AWESOME COMICS EVENT.
ACTION COMICS #833 – Okay, I flipped through this one and was completely under whelmed. Boring visuals combined with a stupid story about the Queen of Fables, who is a dark witch who wants to marry Superman made me lose focus and not care in the least. The Queen transports the world around Superman into a Snow White, medivial sort of motif and tries to get him to marry her. Superman escapes not because of clever thinking but because she lets him. The Queen thinks it’s going to take a Kryptonian fable to crack the big guy. She’s back again next issue. Joy. A CUT & PRINT NO
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #122 - The issue kicks off with the meta understatement of the year. The Dawn chick who channels people says, in reference to her husband not being there “I find I am a very poor replacement.” Yes, you are. I hope you get written out really quickly because you’re a loser of epic proportions.
The story with the insane guy is still going, the league is trying to rebuild and they can’t agree on anything. I’m digging how they’re drawing Aquaman in this book. The rest of the art is standard, as is the story. A lot of standing around and talking about feelings and such. Usually good to do character development but it’s been going on in every issue. Talk about overkill.
More OMAC’s show up at the end of the book and it’s action Jackson time. Red Tornado shows up to even the odds and help out the Justice League (I love Red T.) Good fight but the story goes nowhere again.
The insane guy, though, has made contact with the Dawn chick. Hopefully he’ll kill her. A CUT & PRINT BETTER THAN THE LAST COUPLE OF ISSUES.
