I must admit. This final part surprised me.
Not for its quality. Out of the three tie-ins thus far, its been the strongest for most of its issues (which is saying something, as all of them have been excellent). No, what really surprised me was the brilliant use of Kon-El, Superboy.
Geoff Johns has been doing [...]
The latest of the Blackest Night tie-ins launched this week, with issue 1 of Blackest Night: Superman.
I think this is so far probably my favourite of the tie-ins. James Robinson evokes a horror film vibe brilliantly in the opening pages, as the newly Black Lanterned Kal-L rises and starts working his way through Smallville, wiping [...]
So the latest solicits have gone up at IGN, and give us a tantalising look at the future of Blackest Night.
Firstly, I’ve got to say how much I love that cover for Blackest Night #4. While I’m still a little unsure about the raised GL badge on Hal’s uniform, the rest of the cover is [...]
This week saw the launch of DC’s new weekly experiment: Wednesday Comics.
For those that don’t know, its markedly different to their previously weeklies, which took the form of normal comics. This time, they’ve launched something in broadsheet form, printed on newspaper (and nicely folded up to regular comic size for the benefit of the shelves).
Its [...]
IGN has put up the solicits for September’s Blackest Night titles.
Interestingly the cover shown for Blackest Night #3 is the Firestorm-focused variant cover. So it’ll be interesting to see what’s on the Ivan Reis main cover, but I’m guessing its considered spoilery (the main villain?).
Its also interesting that the Superman tie-in doesn’t mention the Earth-2 [...]
There’s been some new Blackest Night #0 tidbits courtesy of Andrew NDB at the Green Lantern Corps Message Board, as he’s posted up the checklist for the first few months of Blackest Night.
There seems to be a heavy Secret Invasion influence in the way they’re carrying out this event. In that the tie-ins are [...]
Most people this week will be going bananas over New Krypton #1, but to be honest, I don’t think I can really afford to commit to a storyline that’ll be going through the Superman titles for the next year. Once the titles decouple a bit I’ll maybe pick up some of the books (I [...]
I’m really not sure what to make of Superman Beyond. Dealing with the Monitors and the subplot of Lois being near death, this 2-part series has basically filled in the gap of where Superman was while everything was going to Apokalyps in a handbasket back on Earth.
My immediate thought is that, as this [...]
Gah, I’m going to be so skint!
Its been a bit of a shock, but the previews of the Blackest Night figures hit the web the other day, and brought with them some pretty big spoilers, in that we’ve seen our first look at two of the Black Lanterns: Martian Manhunter and Earth-2 Superman. [...]
Well, I say finale, but that’s not really the case, as it quickly became apparent that the New Krypton arc, was infact just the setup for the next year or so of stories.
Its not often I feel like this about most modern comic plots, but I really felt this could’ve been a bit longer. I’d [...]
