The Justice Society of America by Geoff Johns, at least the most recent series, is strong if not marred by it's constant delays.

The comic has a great mix up of dozens of heroes from both the JSA and Legion of Super-Heroes. This issue is DENSE with previous layers of storytelling and if you stepped into this randomly you wouldn't find this a worthwhile read. Eclipso is a good reveal but The Justice Society of America by Geoff Johns, at least the most recent series, is strong if not marred by it's constant delays.

I think your enjoyment of this special issue fully depends upon if you like slice-of-life comics and the antics involved with them. It's cute, no doubt. We see Jon, Damian and Lizzie going from when Lizzie was 4 years old all the way up to her being a young woman going on adventures; from learning to fly a kite, to going to feudal Japan to learn how to be a samurai warlord. Can't forget the boys g I think your enjoyment of this special issue fully depends upon if you like slice-of-life comics and the antics involved with them. It's cute, no doubt.

Another big issue. Rook awakens after nearing drowning in a river, saved by Swine's pig and friend, Pumba. Confused and bewildered by a talking boar, Rook has to come to grips with the fear that he harbors, his constant instinct to run away, is something that's going to end up killing him. He confronts the crows in a burning forest, and learns to open his heart to the animals and trust them. As th Another big issue.

The romance between Peeg and Axel is paper thin and is just an OK paced issue on her date in Valhalla (though a few of the warriors look they're from India, hmm). Travis Moore returns to pencil work, the art is good but I feel like the story is kind of just going through the motions.

What a terrible ending issue. After how strong issue 3 ended I was hoping this series would end a good note but I wasn't expecting a complete destruction of narrative and characters together. The writer took the good moment the story had and lit it on fire. Well so much for that. Won't be following any other series by Zoe unless she's strictly the artist.

I don't know how this comic is getting such raving reviews; people must be either starved of anything not superhero related OR it's a slow burn of murder mystery it's trying to build up to. The main character is a washed up loser ex-hero who committed some major wrong and has to slum it up back in his home town until the death of a former arch nemesis puts the story in motion.

Leah Williams continues to make a not so great Power Girl comic that's devoid of both action and interesting plots. Why is Supergirl and Power Girl investigating a psychedelic drug that teleports people? Who knows!?

Trinity punching Diana reminded me of that one issue in Batman / Catwoman where Helena fought Selina. Didn't like this new story, and I stand by my theory that the Super Sons were the real stars of the backup not Trinity. $6 for essentially an extra backup is not worth it. Don't know how you make the daughter of Wonder Woman uninteresting and unlikable, but King found a way.

I normally don't pick up gimmick comics but I am weak to blonde Kryptonian women. DC has been releasing these "uncovered" books which are just cover galleries for $6. If the books featured more classic covers like this I'd more inclined to buy in again.

Tom King writing young characters reads like a completely different author versus him writing almost any other property. The trio of heroes (Damien, Jon, Lizzie) are a fun group to see them interacting, lots of bickering and love between what are 'siblings' between the original trinity of DC's mythos.

Enjoyable for the most part but I'm not going to bother with Challengers of the Unknown or The Bumble Bee story as those didn't look interesting enough to bother reading. Metamorpho and Bat-Mite story stole the show though, and I appreciate the addition of more silver age elements. Can Metamorpho make a return to World's Finest? I hope so!

For a launching pad of a new comic universe, I'd have to say this is more of a sampler than a launch for the Ghost Machine imprint. That being said, the main three stories; Geiger, Redcoat and Rook were all extremely short but on point reads with absolutely solid art. Redcoat is great if you're into history themed stories, Geiger if you're into a revenge superhero book and Rook appears to be a nea For a launching pad of a new comic universe, I'd have to say this is more of a sampler than a launch for the Ghost Machine imprint.

Reader be advised; this comic has 2 pages of actual written dialogue. There's not much to say here; Streaky (not Stinky, who's PG's original cat) goes on a mission to rescue cats and dogs from an underground animal trafficking situation. It's well drawn, but I feel like it's something of a waste of a properly decent artist on what is essentially an inventory issue.

I could barely make it through this issue.

Is anyone interested in this "war" event? How many times has Gotham been held hostage, invaded, or threatened in the last 4 years? Way too many times to count. Please for the love of God, do not let Tini Howard write Batman. I don't want to see DC's titular hero being reduced to whining and moping, basically on his knees for Mommy Selina.

Considerably more interesting and a breath of fresh air compared to the slog that was the Gotham War event.

Catwoman is cursed with 9 lives, but isn't sure if the markings on her back are actually related to lost lives. This sort of reads like an inventory issue but it's light enough to keep me interested.

Wretched narration. Crazy that this writer is being given more work, much less the GCS.

An entirely OK issue that really makes you wonder if the writer actually knows much about deadly injections. Even if a deadly injection misses a major artery it can still be fatal but WHATEVER this is comics and small details like that should be brushed to the side (probably).
