Superman hunts down the genocidal Brainiac in order to rescue the Kryptonian city he stole prior to destroying the planet. It’s an OK story, but too much back and forth of Superman punching Brainiac and then getting incapacitated, breaking free and starting the cycle again, all the while the two lecture each other.

How I loved those crappy Superfriends cartoons as a kid, mainly for the Injustice League. Finally someone decided to update the image and pit a bunch of nasty villains against the Justice League in a smart and violent way. I had just been talking to Cej about how the villains never seem to pull jobs …

What little I knew about Amazo just annoyed me. He’s a robot with all the powers of the Justice League’s superheroes such as Batman and Superman (sure, I have no problem with the Flash and tapping into the “speed force” so he can travel at impossible speeds, but with robots I draw the line). Yet …

I like Simone’s Birds of Prey work, but this superhero tale wherein those used to fighting earth destroying villains are sucked into political intrigue just didn’t work for me. Maybe because nothing really happened with the characters other than Simone not really capturing them.

If anyone should write the story of the two superhero teams from different publishers having it out due to the machinations of cosmically powerful beings it should be the encyclopedic Busiek. Too bad the story was nothing more than smash, crush, “hey is that my favorite villain in the background?” nonsense.

A never gave a damn about Red Tornado. Maybe that’s why I was impressed with this story. It wasn’t for the little twists and cameos brought up in the plot, but the idea that it took such a nothing character and made me care.

It’s not a bad story about the two superheroes who are framed for murder, but, as Cory pointed out, there are far too many Brokeback Mountain moments. Especially apparent when Superman’s girlfriend shows up and Batman leaves in a huff: “Oh, Clark, I wish I could quit you.”

Kym gave me this as a birthday present and I’m just getting to posting about it now?! Moore rescues old Superman stories featuring Krypto the wonder dog and characters/plots that we “sophisticated” readers love to disparage by showing how they can still be part of great storytelling through a tale of deception that forces the …

This seems like filler and sells only on the merits of the goodness that was 52 itself by throwing a giant “52 Aftermath” logo on the cover. The main characters, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman did not feel well-written and I did not care about anyone in this story. It felt disjointed at times and …

This is me angry that I even spent $5.00 on the whole series which retails for $13.00 at cover price. Countdown: Arena was crap. A story that never need been told. Shit! Shit! Nice Kubert covers is all. It would have been nice (maybe I missed this,) if there was a guide to the different …

Wednesday 9 July was a good day to visit Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey. I was prompted to go, because of the buy-one-get-one-free promotion via coupons at McDonalds. Luckily I did not have to eat that food in order to get this coupon. The Dark Knight Coaster My friend Steve and I entered …
