Wonder Woman and the Furies #2

In the previous issue the ground work for war between Wonder Woman and Aquaman was brought to the forefront, this issue follows in those same footsteps with the issue taking place in mutliple different time periods up to the sinking of Europe. From the title you would expect the majority of the focus to be on the character Wonder Woman, but it resolves more around the relationship and conflict between Wonder Woman and Aquaman with both characters having their fair share of the spotlight. Honestly I feel this series would have been better if it was a six issue series which combined both Aquaman and the Wonder Woman comics as currently they are pretty much essential to be read together to get the full back story.

Updates going into August

I've been away a little while since I finished work over two weeks ago, I needed some time away to feel refreshed again, I was honestly burnt out from work.
Now with the blog I'll be continuing to update this regularly with content for the ongoing Flashpoint series, reviews for that will be returning this coming week as well as a review for Batman House of Hush. Keeping with comics I'll also be giving my thoughts on the new 52 from DC comics along with what titles I will be picking up this September.

During August I will be posting up content for to help new readers who want to get into comics but are unsure what to pick up seeing as some characters such as Batman have a multitude of different books. For this I will be putting together something related to the movies from the Tim Burton's films to Christopher Nolan's trilogy, these will be broken down into each film with comic recommendation that are similar to those films, or were used as a background for the films production.

As for gaming I will be putting some stuff up I'm not sure what those things will be yet but I have a few ideas that I think people will find interesting. Overall expect to see a lot of content coming for the rest of July and throughout the month of August and I hope you enjoy what I put out.

Hal Jordan #1

I’m a big Green Lantern fan and Geoff Johns run with the series so an alternative version of Hal Jordan has the potential to be very cool.
Those familiar with the Hal Jordan origin will be in a familiar setting for most of this issue as it essentially tells the Flashpoint origin of Hal Jordan by the book, it rarely ventures outside of that zone which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Some changes here and there would have been nice to differentiate. With that said I believe the direction this could take in future issue could be a drastically different Hal Jordan to the one we know, as a first issue it is solid I have no major complaints it was good and the art was particularly nice throughout.
