About Me: My favorite super-heroes are Green Lantern and Moon Knight. I hope they'll cross-over at some point.

Hal Jordan And The Green Lantern Corps #24
"FRACTURES" part three! Secrets are out and battle lines are drawn. The partnership of the Green Lantern Corps and the Sinestro Corps begins to crumble before it explodes!
This arc is definitely disappointing.
Action Comics #983
"REVENGE" part one! A beaten and battered Superman can barely hold his own against the revenge squad of his greatest foes-but hope rushes from the horizon as the Superman family arrives!
Batman #26
"THE WAR OF JOKES AND RIDDLES" part two! The Riddler and The Joker escalate their bloody feud, and the villains of Gotham City are forced to choose sides or be caught in the crossfire! It's up to Batman to push himself to the limit and keep innocent citizens out of harm's way.
This is finally what I was waiting for! The arc is rather long and not much happened before, but now the story gets epic.
Action Comics #982
"REVENGE" part four! General Zod takes command as he leads Cyborg Superman, Eradicator, Mongul, Blanque and Metallo against Superman-but his real motives are yet to be revealed and may have far graver consequences for Superman than anyone imagines.
Even if I love Hal Jordan more than any other super-hero, Guy Gardner has become my favorite character of the title. His characterization is awesome: he's both fun and super bad-ass. For me, his team-up with Arkillo is an excellent idea and it's really well-written. The story is becoming quite intriguing and I'm really looking forward to the next issues!
Hal Jordan And The Green Lantern Corps #23
"FRACTURE" part two! As a Green Lantern stands accused and Hal Jordan rushes to his defense against the Sinestro Corps, Guy Gardner and his new partner Arkillo embark on a mission that, if successful, could stop both sides from killing each other.

A really intriguing first part for this epic arc which seems a story never done before!
Batman #25
"The War of Jokes and Riddles" part one! Don't miss this extra-sized anniversary issue! In his own words, Bruce Wayne narrates a harrowing, never-before-told story of the Dark Knight's greatest failure...and the horrors it unleashed! In the spirit of YEAR ONE and THE LONG HALLOWEEN, prepare to see a side of Batman you've never seen before-get in on...
I was really waiting for this arc, because important things would finally happen. In this first part, the story slowly begins and it isn't so interesting. I hope that the next issues will bring some major modifications for the multiple characters.
Hal Jordan And The Green Lantern Corps #22
"FRACTURE" part one! A rash decision during a routine hunt for outlaw Sinestro Corps members leads to a confrontation that shakes the foundation of the fragile working relationship between the Green Lanterns and the Sinestro Corps. Can Hal Jordan pull the truth into the light and keep the peace?

I didn't expect much for this issue but I enormously enjoyed it. This cross-over seemed at the beginning improbable but it's finally well-done and meaningful. It's a parody of the Silver Age's comic-books' tone, and it's really fun. Bugs Bunny's writing is excellent, with his typical but effective humor. The art is a perfect mix between the 60s super-hero stories and the Looney Tunes' style. Howev more
DC / Looney Tunes: Legion of Super Heroes/Bugs Bunny #1
The Legion of Super-Heroes always thought they had taken their inspiration from the 21st Century's Superboy. But when they try to bring that hero into their future time, the team discovers to their surprise the caped champion isn't who-or even what-they expected! And the bonus Looney Tunes backup story features DC characters with story and art by J...
I was really waiting for this issue because Martian Manhunter is one of my favorite super-heroes and I've always been a fan of Marvin. Finally, this one-shot is totally empty and the story is practically nonexistent. There are some rather reflections about J'onn's role though, but it could have been even more interesting. This issue is just a fun and simple cross-over between two famous martians, more
DC / Looney Tunes: Martian Manhunter/Marvin the Martian #1
Martian Manhunter tries to halt Marvin the Martian's determination for world domination. J'onn is conflicted with his own Martian identity as he attempts to stop the hapless, determined Marvin from blowing Earth to bits in order to gain a clear view of Venus. And the bonus Looney Tunes backup story features DC characters written by Jim Fanning with...
I was quite excited for the cross-over with the Suicide Squad but it finally didn't happen. We already know where the story is heading, and the cliff-hanger is really ridiculous in my opinion. However, the arc is still rather promising and I hope that it'll get better.
Action Comics #981
"REVENGE" part three! Superman races to save the Suicide Squad from General Zod, Cyborg Superman and Eradicator. Can the Man of Steel escape the Black Vault and stop the carnage before Harley, Deadshot and the rest of Task Force X are forced to make a final stand?

A very deep and introspective issue of Batman that I feel may not be for everyone one. It sets up a storyline that that people will either like or very much dislike, but I think either way it will be memorable.
Batman #24
"Aftermath"! Gotham City is at peace...but a war is coming. Armed with the terrifying knowledge gained from the mysterious button, Batman prepares for the coming storm by making a proposition to one of his enemies-one that will change everything for the Dark Knight and his allies!

Batman's portrayal in this series is masterful and really interesting. Tom King is definitely building a big story with major consequences and I have a great feeling about it!

Another solid issue. A great character study on why Batman does what he does.

Not much happens in the issue and the cliff-hanger doesn't interest me. For the moment, I'm quite concerned about the arc, because it can be epic and really enjoyable, or too classic without any surprises in it.
Action Comics #980
"REVENGE" part two! Both Superman and the Revenge Squad must traverse the deadly Black Vault in a race against time to reach General Zod! Amanda Waller's secret Kryptonian weapon reveals himself to the world, but Cyborg Superman and Eradicator move in to recruit him. Tying directly into the events of this month's Suicide Squad issues-and no matter ...
A rather disappointing issue, because the final is extremely quick and the problem is too easily resolved. Also, Krona's gauntlet which has acquired a conscious is a weak villain. However, the final revelation is quite interesting, even if it was rather predictable and I hope that we'll see Sarko again in the future. I'm excited for the next arc, because things will really move on!
Hal Jordan And The Green Lantern Corps #21
PRISM OF TIME finale! To stop Sarko and save the future of the Green Lantern Corps, a Lantern must die-but can a returning Green Lantern find a way to save a life instead of taking one?

The only word I could use to describe this issue is "beautiful". Marc's last speech is emotive and the character is finally happy with his life. He's considerably evolved in the series: it was his death and his rebirth. This conclusion is the culmination of everything the author has introduced from the beginning and it's enough for me.
This last arc is a bit less inspired. The flash-backs

Moon Knight #14
WHAT A LONG, STRANGE TRIP IT'S BEEN...
• Marc's past, present and future collide!
• An epic throwdown between MARC SPECTOR and KHONSHU!
• Who will survive, and what will be left of them?
Rated T+
This issue reminded me why I love Tom King's Batman. It was very poetic and captured the unlikely pairing of Batman and Swamp Thing very well. A great one shot.

This event has been an amazing and satisfying interlude between the DCU: Rebirth #1 one-shot and the juicy storyline that Geoff Johns, Gary Frank and Brad Anderson are cooking us. The entire creative team involved in these four issues excelled, especially Joshua Williamson and Howard Porter, who have produced here their best work in a long time.

A more poetic and different story, narrated with Tom King's majestic story-telling and the dialogues are emotive and interesting. Also, Swamp Thing's presence is quite enjoyable and the team-up is really fun. And Mitch Gerads' art is still so elegant and beautiful.

An excellent conclusion for this incredible cross-over! We didn't get any important revelation but it didn't bother me. This arc teased some great things, and the "return" of that character is really enjoyable. Also, the team-up between the two protagonists is successful. However, there was no real plot and I feel like no much really happened. I'm quite excited to see how the situation is going to more
