Justice League #1 Review

After the long wait the new DC Universe is upon us with the first instalment of the new Justice League, does the New 52 hit the ground running or is fail to live up to expectations.

Since the relaunch announcement, speculation has erupted onto what direction the DCU is heading, this led to long time readers to worry about the fate of their favourite characters. People were afraid that the books they had been reading for years would be lost in the wind of change but with recent announcements, DC has tried to lay any of those worries to rest.
If that has yet to convince you then Justice League number #1 should do the job, not only does re introduce staples of the DCU it remains true to the characters while giving it a fresh spin that long time readers will appreciate while retaining the most important factor which is making it accessible for new readers to jump in.

Flashpoint June 29th Reviews

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.

DC Universe Reboot

With rumours circulating that the current Flashpoint story arc would lead to some kind of a reboot can now be put to rest as details have emerged on just what the future holds for the DC Universe.

The facts are that come September there will be 52 new #1 issues for each of the respecting titles such as The Justice League of America, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern to name a few. There is still more speculation about what direction this reboot will be taking, and what they will carry over from the current continuity

Superman Earth One Review

Superman Earth One is a re telling of the origin story of Superman aimed predominately at the modern generation, adding to the Superman mythos while keeping the mainstays that define the character and the world he inhabits.

Earth One begins with a young Clark Kent entering Metropolis for the first time and as the reader we see Clark is dealing with the two sides of his personality and how he is trying to fit into this world he calls home. The struggles Clark faces in this book are much more relatable than previous iterations of the character, things such as fitting in and being different are tackled in this book and ultimately the responsibility of becoming Superman. Most if not everyone can relate in someway to growing up taking responsibility and becoming the person you want to be or being face with an event that shapes your life and Superman Earth one rides this line.
