SUPERBOY #8
April 16, 2012 3:37 pm So where was the Wondergirl vs Ravager fight that "Battling Bobbie" said happened in this issue from Teen Titans #7? Aside from that, the issue was good but not the best of the title. This whole Culling story set up is depressing me, and next month might be tough to get through. Any story where teens are forced to beat the crap out of and kill each others bothers me, but if it gets too frustrating, I'll just drop the titles. Here's hoping for the quick and vicious downfall of N.O.W.H.E.R.E.! (though I bet they'll just retreat to a dark cave for a while and be back in greater numbers; that's comics :) )

‘Young Justice’ – S01E21 – “Image”
March 17, 2012 12:02 pm This episode was okay, but the teases bothered me. I'll look forward to next week's new episode :)

Earth 2: The New Jay Garrick Revealed
March 5, 2012 9:50 pm I'm just not a fan of goggles; Kid Flash, Catwoman, whoever, I just don't like them. Other than that, I'm not bothered nor surprised to see this. Oh well.

‘Young Justice’ – S01E19 – “Misplaced”
March 3, 2012 6:19 pm Great episode; a very clever use of Captain Marvel's/Shazam's difference from other heroes.

STAR TREK/LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #5 (OF 6)
February 24, 2012 1:03 pm This issue was awesome! The cameos on the two-page spread were lots of fun, and the mystery character in the orb was no surprise. I loved it.

Earth Too Soon
February 13, 2012 4:59 pm Like everything, it's not confusing once you get to know it. However, I also think this is too soon. Like the artcile mentioned, haven't even had a present day Justice League story, and we're going to start setting up a big crossover; I can only guess this is leading to a new Crisis on Infinite Earths. There's a lot more stories DC could aim for before jumping on that story line.
This reminds me of Blackest Day. We had the great Sinestro Corps war end with a teaser of other corps and the Black Lanterns. However, instead of exploring all those corps, we looked at a few and jumped right into Blackest Night where the Indigos made their first true appearance. Now we're finally going to learn who they are long after I thought we should have.
Whatever the reason, I think this is more driven by the need for revenue events bring in. I'd personally take more time in establishing one world and set of characters before another, adding more depth for those crossover/big event storylines and fan enjoyment, but maybe financial research goes against me.
I'll be checking out the Earth-2 stories, mainly because I'm a fan of those writers, and I'll see how this all unfolds before coming across as too negative (unless I've already failed there when that wasn't my intention.) As PhantomPhrenemy said, "Brign it!" lol

AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER, VOL 01: THE PROMISE, PART 1 TP
January 31, 2012 11:20 pm This is going to take some characters back down some familiar paths but the reasons for the conflict are a lot more interesting than I'd suspect younger kids would like to read about, but the show did it too and that's why I love it.

TEEN TITANS #5
January 31, 2012 11:18 pm I was growing weary during the first three issues which bugged me because this is the only place Tim Drake shows up now (doesn't even seem to be part of the Bat family anymore) and I'd hate to drop it. However, things have finally picked up in these last two issues and I hope it stays this way. Good luck to the Teen Titans team, and DC Comics better start looking at a Tim Drake solo book again if for no other reason than to make me happy ;)

AVENGERS: SOLO #4 (OF 5)
January 31, 2012 11:14 pm I've been getting this for the Avengers Academy back-up story, and the Hawkeye story is alright and the idea is interesting, but I'm afraid I wouldn't have checked it out otherwise.

Pick of the Week – 01.18.2012 – Batman #5
January 23, 2012 8:22 pm Even browsing this, still not a big fan. Other artists have shown spiraling with us turning the book in the real world and in the pages with the panels spiraling. That's the way I'd do it (but I'm no artist), and the pages end with you holding the book up before having to turn it again. I do give the ads some attention (don't ask me what ad was on the inside cover but I know I glanced it lol) and when we jump back to the "sane" parts the book's upside down and still disorienting. But that's just my thoughts.
Great job, Batman team, because you did something really well here and I'm in the minority but I've got to say I was bothered by the second set of sideways pages, even when I got what was going on. However, now that the Owls made a move, I can't wait for Batman to recover and lay some smack down lol
Also, Batman wouldn't have any food and water in that utility belt? Longer than 8 days may have been necessary then, and would make the search all the more desperate. Good luck!
