The 10 best comics maxi-series (part 1 of 3)

So a few things are going on right now. HBO is airing the sequel series to the Watchmen comic; the CW is airing their five-part crossover event “Crisis on Infinite Earths”, which looks so intriguing I feel I might have…

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…

DC Comics’ Legends #6

The sixth and final chapter of this epic saga (I say this perhaps with only a touch of irony. A smidge. A scoch) begins with Darkseid ready to deliver an old school, classic monologue about how awesome he and his…

DC Comics’ Legends #5

Issue #5 starts out with young William Batson wandering the streets of… I think it’s New York? To be honest, I forgot which city he’s in. I guess it doesn’t matter, because America is burning due to G. Gordon Godfrey’s…

DC Comics’ Legends #4

The last issue underwhelmed, being a bit too focused on exposition and not enough on action and plot advancement. That being said, it gave us our first look at what would become the Suicide Squad, so it was far from…

DC Comics’ Legends #3

When we last left the DC Universe, Billy Batson was traumatized, Robin was brutalized, Cosmic Boy was cast aside, and Blue Beetle almost died. Oh, and President Ronald Reagan told Superman he was suspending all super heroic activity in the…

DC Comics’ Legends #2

Last time on DC’s Legends: Darkseid decided to destroy not only the world’s heroes but the very concept of heroism itself, depriving Earth of its legends. To this end Desaad, set into motion a master plan involving minions Bedlam…

Superheroes, ranked (by singing ability)

Superheroes: they’re great. But which one is the best? Is it Captain Marvel, the mightiest Avenger? Or maybe Lady Sif, the character that they took a great deal of time to establish and then just abandoned completely in favor of…

3 awesome DC Elseworlds stories that need to be movies

So I’ve talked before about DC screwing around with their classic characters by throwing them into new settings that range from “plausible” to “this writer is clearly having a nervous breakdown, please get them help.” One of the best sandboxes…

Superheroes, ranked (in order of Jewish-ness)

This Halloween, more children than ever dressed up as their favorite superheroes, according to a statistic I just made up. It makes sense for children to aspire to be powerful, respected bats and metal drunks. But my family is Jewish,…

3 horrible superhero sidekicks

Ah yes, the sidekick: one of the most enduring concepts in superhero fiction. Dating back to the earliest days of the medium, the sidekick typically serves as a valuable backup for the hero himself (as well as an extra shootable…

Supergirl: Crisis on Infinite Weeknights #1

This anomaly will look pretty familiar to anyone who watches The Flash, and this is obviously a prelude to the big CW crossover event based on DC's Invasion!, but before we find out any of that, we have this episode’s weak-sauce A plot to get out of the way.

Another Flash pops in from a parallel universe to help Barry learn to ride the lightning, and what do you know, it's just in time to use his new trick against Sand Demon, the one villain it's perfect for.

The Flash: Mainstream, but Renegades

Season 2 of The Flash kicks off with a great big yummy bowl of mac & cheese. Also, a new villain called Atom-Smasher, a peak into an alternate universe, and happy news for Barry's dad.

FLASH: Three Heroes, Gazillions of Villains

We're one episode away from the season finale, and Flash tries to clear all his supervillain prisoners out of town before Harribard's big attack. It's a dumb plan that goes poorly. But at least we get a huge battle scene out of it.
