Comic Reviews - Week of January 4th
Just checking in quickly with an update on the comic review front. Not much to discuss, other than the fact that time is of the essence, which it always is, isn't it?
Let's get right down to it -
JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #81 – The story focuses all its attention on Stargirl. This is one shot filling in some background on everybody’s favorite teenage ass kicker. It’s a fun little story that provides a little bit of a family connection of Stargirl past the JSA. Nice to see the relationship that she shares with her step father and the positive changes it has made in her life. A CUT & PRINT OKAY.
SUPERMAN/SHAZAM: FIRST THUNDER #3 – I’m in comic love with this little series. I love Superman and I love Shazam. Throw the two of them together with amazing art and a fun story and you’ve got yourself three awesome parts to a four part series. Can’t wait to see the next entry. As simple as a review as you’re even going to get. A CUT & PRINT AWESOME.
SUPERMAN #225 – This one is a tie in to the Infinite Crisis and boy is action heating up. The comic opens with Superman reflecting on the stinging words that Batman left him with in the first issue of the Infinite Crisis… ‘The last time you inspired somebody, you were dead.” Potent words that kick off this setup issue. The society is angry that the invisible rules have been broken (you know, with all the mind wiping and the such that has been going on). The murder of Max Lord by Wonder Woman has put some of the villains on edge and a group of 4 of them are causing quite the disturbance out in L.A. Jimmy Olsen goes to check out the story and ends up, along with two other random people, becoming heroes. Why? Because whenever these people are faced with a tough decision they ask “What would Superman do?” A needed issue to get Big Blue back on track to saving people and the art (Ed Benes & Elton Ramalho), much like in the Superman/Shazam series kicks all kind of butt (I love Superman being drawn in this way). And the cover is all kinds of cool. I’d love to have it as a poster. A CUT & PRINT YEAH!
