Coming after the Justice League Dark and I, Vampire crossover in issues seven and eight, the ninth issue of Justice League Dark will be the first written by the series new ongoing writer: Jeff Lemire (Animal Man, Sweet Tooth).
Lemire’s new Justice League Dark team will consist of the fan-favorite DC and Vertigo character Black Orchid. Judging by the synopsis of the issue, the team will be facing off against the sorcerer Felix Faust.
For nearly fifteen years, Black Panther has been featured in a starring role on the shelves. It began in 1998 with the launch of his Marvel Knights series and continued since then through various relaunches and limited series. While it’s true that some months did go by without a Black Panther book when he was in between series, these gaps were never wide and long lasting. The next book was always on the horizon. I think this is something that gets overlooked a lot when people talk about comic companies’ dedication to improving diversity. Marvel Comics may not have launched so many titles starring minority leads as DC Comic recently has, but Marvel has shown a longstanding commitment to one of their top black heroes that will be hard to match.
But is that a commitment that should continue? With the end of Black Panther: Most Dangerous Man Alive, it may be time for Marvel to move on.
When I first heard about this series when Dc was announcing all of their reboot titles I was kind of hesitant to pick up this series up. I thought Supergirl was going to be totally different from her character before the dc reboot, but after reading the issues that have came out for the series so far I have realized that Supergirl has not changed that much. I like the new spin that they have brought to Supergirl and still having some old qualities in her character that we saw before the Dc reboot.
I really liked the cover for this issue. I have been really enjoying the art for this series and it has to be one of my favorite art for the Dc reboot. The concept for the cover is also pretty great for this cover. In this issue we get to see Supergirl on the brink of death, and seeing her have to decide if it is still worth living after she finds out that her family and friends have died.
Starting in May 2012 Garflied is going to have an ongoing series with Kaboom, which is where Boom Studios producers their kid comic books. Garfield is not newcomer to comic books because Garfield had first made his start in the 1970’s in comic book strips. Garfield is a lazy, over weight, self centered cat whose favorite meal is lasagna.
The writer of the current Garfield Show on Cartoon Network, Mark Evanier, will be on board as the writer for the series. Mark will team up with Gary Barker, who is a Garfield strip cartoonist. So, this series will be in great hands for all of the Garfield fans out there.
After six issues, Static has officially made me stop caring about anything going on in his universe. With a monstrous number of paper-thin characters, boring dialogue attempting with little to no humor, indecipherable artwork and a confusing storyline, Static Shock #6 is one of the worst comic books I have ever reviewed. A shame considering this issue has the best twist out of any of the New 52 titles I have read.
Static continues racing against the clock as he looks for his sisters. Hardware and Technique lend a mechanically-wired hand in his search as Sharon is stuck in the middle of a bitter rivalry between Piranha and Darkstar. Her “evil twin” problems origin is finally revealed.
Young Justice is a great comic book series for the fans of the television show Young Justice on Cartoon Network. With every issue we get new stories of our favorite characters that we cannot get on the television show. We can dig deeper with all of the characters on the Young Justice team. Especially since the show has been on hiatus for a while this is a great series to get your Young Justice fill.
I loved the art for the cover of this issue because it is very similar to the art we see on the television show. This will make it more tempting for the fans of the show to pick up the issue once they see the familiar art on the cover. But there was one thing I did not like about the cover and that was the concept. The concept was kind of misleading because Batman tells Aqualad that he is not team leader anymore. In the end of the issue Aqualad does not quit as team leader, but he does say he wants to go back to Atlantis.
What a weird number to start looking at this book. You might be wondering if this issue sets up a new story or is in any way a good starting point for this series. No, it is not. This particular issue seems to come very much in the middle of things, with characters constantly referencing what happened in the last issue. I really do not know how indicative of the series this single book is. Even so, it is the most recent one and we at Player Affinity are nothing if not topical.
The X-Men franchise as a whole has become scattered and spread between so many teams and books that it really is hard to keep track. Most recently, the books have been further split between two factions: Team Cyclops and Team Wolverine. I will let you make your own Twilight parallels. Besides the allocation of characters, the differences between the books seem to be how these books are structured thematically. Team Cyclops is reminiscent of the plot heavy world building sagas that predicated the late eighties and early nineties. Team Wolverine seems more in line with showing off action and adventure with these characters that readers have come to know really well. Basically, Cyclops is convoluted plot developments and Wolverine is fun. Will these two ever escape being cast as Oscar and Felix?
