Justice League 3000 Issue 9 Review
Title: Justice League 3000 Issue 9 Publisher: DC Comics Reviewer: @MetropolisKid Rating: 4 out of 5 A new Justice League by Keith Giffen & J.M. DeMatteis drawn by Howard Porter sounds like a fanboy dream come true, and finally the title seems to hit its stride. At first, this title seemed just a bit weird, and that hasn't changed. Now, … [Read more...]
Earth 2 Issue 26 Review
Title: Earth 2 Issue 26 Publisher: DC Comics Reviewer: @MetropolisKid Rating: 5 out of 5 What I had hoped Earth 22 was going to be two and a half years ago, and what the title is today is two different entities. That's not a bad thing. It has been full of surprises and has been something totally different. The Kryptonian, Part 6 finds Val … [Read more...]
Grayson Issue 2 Review
Title: Grayson Issue 2 Publisher: DC Comics Reviewer: @MetropolisKid Rating: 3 out of 5 Last issue I found the title a little confusing. This issue less so. but so far, I don't understand what is so important that Dick fake his death to Alfred and the world to let a spy organization know that he is not actually dead.

Superman Issue 33 New 52 Review
Title: Superman Issue 33 New 52 Publisher: DC Comics Reviewer: @MetropolisKid Rating: 3.9 out of 5 I'm just going to say it. On the day that it was announced that John Romita, Jr. was going to be taking over the art on Superman, I was less than enthused. I've found his art to be uneven at most, and adequate at best. He is not his father. His … [Read more...]

Title: Batman Issue 33 Zero Year Publisher: DC Comics Reviewer: @MetropolisKid Rating: 4.8 out of 5 The conclusion to the long running Zero Year storyline.

Daredevil Issue 6 (Original Sin 2014) Review
Title: Daredevil Issue 6 Publisher: Marvel Reviewer: @MetropolisKid Rating: 2 out of 5 I have read very few Daredevil comics in my time. I don't hate the character, I just didn't read them. I saw the movie. I even enjoyed The Director's Cut of the film. I am familiar with the guy and his supporting cast. So when Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) was … [Read more...]
She-Hulk Issue 6 (2014) Review
Title: She-Hulk Issue 6 Publisher: Marvel Reviewer: @MetropolisKid Rating: 4 out of 5 For the past year or so, a couple of names have been cropping up more and more in my readings. Charles Soule is one. His work at DC has been phenomenal so far. He's really the only reason I'm reading She-Hulk. The first five issues have been fun, and genuinely … [Read more...]
