Last issue: The League was down, save for the traitorous Martian Manhunter, as well as Batman, who’s discovered the Hyperclan are [gasp!] Martians! After taking out four superheroes, Protex seems to lose it and hits the doomsday button,…

Grant Morrison’s JLA (1997) #3: “War of the Worlds” (part 3 of 4)

Last issue: Wonder Woman and Aquaman were down! Green Lantern got double-teamed! Superman was rendered helpless by (sigh) kryptonite! And Batman is… dead? Possibly? Maybe? We open with two people talking about keeping someone alive, and we see…

Grant Morrison’s JLA (1997) #1: “Them!” (part 1 of 4)

“Comics sucked in the ‘90s!” has been thought by many to be “common knowledge”. And I get it, because I was caught saying the same thing a time or two when I looked back at some of the dreck I…

Snyder Cut inspirations: The New 52 Justice League (2011) #1-6

So a film dropped last week on HBO Max: Zack Snyder’s Justice League AKA the “Snyder Cut”. And apparently people are very positive about it, save a guy whose name rhymes with Taser Lisp. I’m not going to be reviewing…

Superman: Red Son #3 of 3 “Red Son Setting”

Remember how last time I praised that opening for issue #2? As a Dark Lord of the Sith once said: Impressive. Most impressive. It’s the 21st century and Superman has celebrated his 63rd birthday. Brainiac has told him almost six…

Avengers/JLA #4 of 4 “The Brave... and the Bold”

Our story opens with a series of viewscreens showing calamity and disaster as a universe dies, as someone monologues about the end of this reality while we see a nebulous face that calls itself the “sentience of the universe”. It…

JLA/Avengers #3 of 4 “Strange Adventures”

It’s another amazing cover from George this time, with an honest attempt to get every single JLAer and Avenger on it. I mean, he has both Crimson Foxes on this thing! If he missed anybody, it must have been a…

Avengers/JLA #2 of 4 “A Contest of Champions”

So before we jump into the game, I just have to break down this cover. It’s a fantastic work, and it’s great to see the one, true Captain Marvel featured on the front. Although I do have an issue with…

JLA/Avengers #1 of 4 “A Journey into Mystery”

X-Men/Teen Titans was the first DC/Marvel crossover story I ever bought. The stories published during the ’70s came out before I was buying comics, and I suppose when reprints were available they looked a little to, uh, Silver Age for…

Justice League of America #200 "A League Divided" (part 2 of 2)

Previously in part one, we had a recap of how the Justice League was formed after they defeated seven alien combatants who came to Earth to fight for the rulership of another world. The seven Kryptonite meteors they arrived in…

Justice League of America #200 "A League Divided" (part 1 of 2)

Back in the early ’80s, my comic buying habits were a bit erratic. Other than X-Men, there weren’t a whole lot of titles I was steadfastly wedded to. However, I do remember really enjoying Justice League of America when…

Green Lantern (2011), a recap (part 9 of 9)

Previously: Hal pleaded his case for humanity… to the Guardians, oddly, instead of the big creepy cloud who just showed up on Earth looking to exterminate the human race. Also: Hector died, and no one really cared.

Green Lantern (2011), a recap (part 8 of 9)

Previously: Amanda Waller lived a life told in stock photos, while Hector torched his dad, and Hal was powerless to stop it despite opening a wormhole to get to the scene of the crime. And now Parallax will have his revenge on the Guardians by… attacking Earth? Sure, why not.

Green Lantern (2011), a recap (part 7 of 9)

Previously: Hector instantly got all fat and gross and deformed and went full evil, and Hal saved the day by turning a crashing helicopter into a speeding projectile (just go with it). Carol became Discount Lois Lane to Hal’s Discount Superman as he romanced her in the air, then revealed he’s a member of a galactic peacekeeping force...

Green Lantern (2011), a recap (part 6 of 9)

Previously: Hal was transported to the planet Oa where he received a beatdown from Sinestro, causing him to quit the Corps and Refuse the Call of this particular Hero’s Journey. Back on Earth, Hector gave his students a lesson… in how thinking of him as a "freak" gets your ass shotputted across the classroom...

Green Lantern (2011), a recap (part 5 of 9)

Previously: After beating up a former coworker or two or three, Hal got yanked to the planet Oa, where he received a brain-dump from Tomar-Re about the Guardians and the Green Lantern Corps and got to witness Sinestro give a half-hearted pep rally speech. Meanwhile, Hector Hammond was infected by what might have been Parallax’s jizz.

Green Lantern (2011), a recap (part 4 of 9)

Previously: Abin Sur got dead, Hal got Abin’s ring, and a very svelte Amanda Waller got Abin’s body, which she turned over to creepy Hector Hammond, who got to perform the very first (real) alien autopsy.
