Not what you were expecting. When Earth 2 was first announced, along with the creative team of James Robinson and Nicola Scott, there wasn’t much speculation. Everyone knew – knew – that this was going to be the new JSA book, since there wasn’t one in the initial run of New 52 books. However, then […]
A Bigger Bang? Most universes don’t get a second shot at the Big Bang. Its generally considered, at least in most scientific circles, to be pretty much a one-time deal. Yet a second shot is exactly what the new Valiant Comics is trying to ignite with their relaunched universe. After 16 years of slumber (only […]
When the initial book solicits were released for the New 52 # 1s last July, there was not a single book I was less looking forward to than Teen Titans. These are characters that I have a stong, long-standing personal investment in, and they looked to be changing more than any other characters in the […]
Black Manta is a joke. Not even a very good joke. He’s the epitome of the lame, cheesy comic book villain – I mean, look at him. He’s an evil top-heavy scuba-diver from Hell. But now he’s cool. Heck, now he’s a badass. I blame Geoff Johns. Ever since Aquaman started last September, it’s had […]
Sometimes, an idea works – other times, in other circumstances, the same idea can fall completely flat.

In which Batman finally acts like Batman. Full disclosure: I haven’t been nearly as enamored of Scott Snyder’s Court of Owls storyline as most of the rest of the world has. I love Snyder as a writer, and his craft has been rock-solid throughout, but up till now, I haven’t felt that Batman reacted to […]
Much in the same way that The X-Files, upon which Saucer Country draws no small amount of inspiration from, used what were essentially two seperate-but-equal pilot episodes to first establish the characters of Mulder and Scully, then to establish the government conspiracy they would be fighting against for the next six years (7? 8? 9? […]
It was well known even going into The New 52 that Green Lantern would be changing the least out of any of DC’s line, with the September-released Green Lantern # 1 continuing directly on from Green Lantern # 67, released several months previous. At the time the initiative was announced, it was thought that Green […]
