About Me: PLEASE NOTE: 7/10 IS A GOOD RATING IN MY BOOK! I love Superman. I'm not as well-read when it comes to comics as some because I find them overwhelming (it's hard to decide what to read when there are so many options!), but I'll post some reviews here and I certainly enjoy reading others' re more

Really good issue. I liked both stories. The main story continues to be consistent with its previous parts - it's a pretty simple story, but well-executed with beautiful artwork. The Superman's characterization is totally on-point, the emotional beats were satisfying, and I enjoyed the human characters having roles, including Cat Grant's brief but bold appearance. Ultimately, this storyline was to more

Plastic Man No More! #1
Eel O'Brian might be a superhero now-but before he was anything else, he was a crook. Until the accident that turned him into the pliable Plastic Man, Eel was bad to the bone...and just because he no longer has bones doesn't mean that's not still true. When an incident on a Justice League mission leads to catastrophic cellular damage, Plastic Man d...
Putting this comedic character in a mortally serious take really fleshes out the character. You see how his relegation as a comic relief means when he's being serious, Plas is often ignored. And when faced with the realities of like, such as a wife and kid, Plas poorly handles shakes to his status quo. But with the promise of a nuclear bomb quest to save his son, we get to see the heart inside Eel more

I love to see Superman angry. Great art too. But as is often the case with modern comics, it doesn't feel like enough happens. It's not a chapter of a story, it's a sliver. But it's a good sliver.
Superman #17
After the traumatic events of Absolute Power #2, Superman and Zatanna trek into the darkest areas of the DC Universe to ?nd a way to stop Waller and her growing army. Powerless and without magic, are they willing to make a deal with a devil to save the world?
Fun, dramatic, and heartwarming with gorgeous art. That said, modern single-issue comic stories tend to be pretty simple and this is no exception.
Batman / Superman: World's Finest #30
Get ready to see the Trinity-Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman -take part in their ?rst adventure as a trio!
First story: The artwork is beautiful (especially Superman himself) and the story is well-written and engaging. That said, the story isn't particularly original, the visuals confused me once or twice, and Superman's power level seems a bit low (though that could be justified by this story taking place in the past).
Second story: Actually more interesting to me than the first, though the

All this and LOTS MORE in part two of SUPERMAN AND THE CHALLENGE FROM T...
Actually, a pretty decent issue, especially for a crossover tie-in. I am not a fan of publisher wide events. They are usually written by committee, so even the characters are inconsistent from issue to issue despite the fact that they are supposed to be the same person in a single plot.
I also find the premise of these events to be eye rolling and the efforts to be shocking and edgy usu

Batman #151
A device critical to Amanda Waller's plans is hidden on a remote, highly protected island. Batman can get there, but only one burglar has a chance of stealing the device and getting it off the island safely. But the device isn't what they expect, and getting off the island turns out to be the least of their problems! Plus: a backup story reveals th...
Monster High: New Scaremester #1
From the spine-chilling minds of Monster High superfans Jacque Aye and Caroline Shuda comes Monster High: New Scaremester. Ghouls and boos are heading back to Monster High for a new scaremester. And while they'll certainly be serving lurks in the hallway and haunting study howl, rumor has it that trouble is brewing. Draculaura,...
I'm enjoying the mysteries, they're exciting and intriguing, but at the same time getting a bit tired of them. I hope some resolution and answers come soon.
I'm also getting a little tired of lying covers, though of course it's not a huge deal.
Shazam! #14
Mary and Freddy have tracked Billy down to the unused tunnels of SEPTA-but the monsters plaguing Philly have followed them, too. With Billy refusing to turn into the Captain, can Mary and Freddy turn the tide and ?gure out what's causing the monster onslaught? Can they convince Billy to come home? And what's up with the weird kid in a toga that onl...
Am I just dumb, or is it a bit hard to follow the action with this artist? Other than that, it's great. Action, excitement, heart, humor, and good artwork in most ways. But sometimes I felt confused what was happening even though the story seems pretty much straightforward.
My Adventures with Superman #3
With Clark Kent arrested by Team Seven, he'll need to ?gure out a way to use his powers and keep Amazo hidden, but will his identity as Superman be revealed in the process?!

The grand finale to Impossible is here, and it...well, it is as insane as you think it would be. First of all, we've got this big DOOM-MITE guy over here, check him out...he's about to eat Batman and Superman! What would that even taste like? Let's hope our heroes never let him find out, as the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight save the fifth dimens...

While the Fortress of Solitude has become the home base for the survivors, the injured and powerless Superman must go on a dangerous mission into... THE MAGICAL REALM. GUEST-STARRING ZATANNA!
A little upset about Knight Terrors screwing with DC's lineup, but this wasn't bad. Reilly's art might be the main highlight of this issue. Reilly is an especially great artist when the setting of the book is in the past, as seen with his work on Al Ewing's Ant-Man miniseries, which is why I really liked his stuff in the beginning of the story. The story itself here was cool, but not quite up with more

Honestly I really liked the art. It really gave an old silver age drawing style. The panelling was also awesome with Superman crashing through the panels in one page. I am aware it is not to everyone style, but I love a nod to the old classic styles.
Story wise, it was pretty strong, which I expected with Williamson doing such a great job on Superman. It also moves the plot of the stor

I went into this event pretty down on it since it killed the Dawn of DC momentum, but by golly this was a great comic! The art was spectacular! I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for Tom Reilly from now on. For once I actually didn't mind that this took the place of the main Superman title, which is surprising. This was a good Superman story, and I'm looking forward to next month's!

Yeah, if you enjoy Lois browbeating Clark and Lois being written as generally insuferable then the 2nd story nails that aspect.
