This week’s Booster Gold lays on the time travel thickly, which fortunately is the kind of thing I enjoy
Separated from his time sphere, and trapped back during the events of one of the earlier issues in the series, Booster is forced to team up with himself
Desperate to solve the mystery of [...]

I’ve just been looking at Action Figure Insider’s DC Direct gallery from the NYCC.
There’s some really nice stuff there, including some nice close-up, hi-res pictures of the upcoming Blackest Night figures (well, minus the two “surprise” figures anyway).   They looked really nice in the preview shot we’d been, but these pictures are even better, and [...]

Well, some of the others that caught my eye anyway
First off, Rann-Thanagar Holy War #6.  Its back!!!! Going from the cover, Adam Strange has his Planet Heist kit back.  Yay
JSA #20 features the New Earth JSA and the Earth-2 JSA with Power Girl torn between the two.   I’m really looking forward [...]

Its no secret that the “Thy Kingdom Come” arc in JSA was dragging for me, and I was thinking of trade-waiting on JSA. However the Gog storyline has really turned that around for me.
I’m enjoying the idea of a God from the Third World having survived, and its a nice counterpoint to the [...]

I’ve been a bit unsure about Geoff Johns’ Superman run. Superman is one of those characters that I enjoy, but I’m not a big enough fan to invest in buying his book every month. I think, much like Batman, if I did start buying his monthly title, it’d spiral out of control, [...]

The big win of the week for me though was Blue Beetle. I’d picked up the first few issues of Keith Giffen’s run, but I didn’t really get into it. However the JLI-reunion promised on the title suckered me and I picked up issues 23 and 24 as well to get a better [...]

This week’s Green Lantern Corps #21 takes us to one side from the main action in Green Lantern Corps. While the title is meant to be the “Guy and Kyle” book, this issue doesn’t actually feature either (although the clock is surely ticking down to Guy’s first run in with the Alphas). However, [...]

Well, Newsarama have got the January solicits up and there’s some good looking titles that month.
In Green Lantern terms we’ve got our first (albeit hard to make out clearly) look at an Alpha Lantern from the arc in the main title. I must admit, I’m intrigued to see how this arc goes. I’m [...]

Well, another week, another part of the Sinestro Corps War, as we’re now into the final push towards the end.
At this point, it probably goes without saying that I enjoyed the issue.
We pick up where both last month’s GL and the Parallax one-shot left off. This issue is primarily dealing with freeing Kyle from [...]

This week’s DC previews are now up at Newsarama. Looks to be a great week with GL #24 and Booster Gold #3.
I love the panels of Hal racing to his brother’s house to stop Parallax. Since Kyle’s shown in his new GL duds on the cover to the next issue, hopefully this week [...]
