Frankenstein Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #1

Posted on October 15, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

It amuses me how The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is still influencing the naming of “secret agencies”, so many still have periods after every letter, sometimes meaning each letter represents a word, sometimes just making fun of the trope. They’ve combined … Continue reading →

Grifter #1

Posted on October 14, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

I never read Grifter before this issue. It was a Wildstorm comic and I didn’t read many of those. Grifter was a character I only encountered when he appeared in other titles, and I didn’t start reading any Wildstorm titles … Continue reading →

Demon Knights #1

Posted on October 13, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

Etrigan the demon gets his own series. Paul Cornell is writing it, so that is in its favor. If anyone can write this as more than just the mystical blather the character has been infused with since his creation, it … Continue reading →

Deathstroke #1

Posted on October 12, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

I don’t really like Deathstroke. He’s one of those villains that should be fairly easily beatable when he goes up against groups like the Titans and his threat level always seems contrived. I could understand if he was going up … Continue reading →

Swamp Thing #1

Posted on October 10, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

Swamp Thing was not what I was expecting. Of all the titles to reboot from the beginning of the character, I was sure this would be one. Instead, we get Alec Holland having already been Swamp Thing and having had … Continue reading →

Batwoman #1

Posted on October 7, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

Batwoman is a relatively new character, only a few years old. This incarnation anyway, previously Batwoman was a 1950s character that was referenced over the years, but was mostly discarded and forgotten. She’s a popular new character though and so … Continue reading →

Batman and Robin #1

Posted on October 6, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

Batman and Robin #1 is, in its way, one of the stranger reboot titles. Mostly because it doesn’t feel like a reboot at all. Like the other titles in which Batman Inc. exists, it feels like there’s continuity with the … Continue reading →

Omac #1

Posted on October 5, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

 OMAC or O.M.A.C. to be more traditional is originally a creation of Jack Kirby when he was at DC Comics. O.M.A.C. stood for One Man Army Corps and took place in a dystopian future. We’ll have to wait to see … Continue reading →

Static Shock #1

Posted on October 5, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

I’m not sure why, but Static Shock seems much more cartoony than the other reboot titles I’ve read so far. It could be the art or it might be the fact that I first encountered Static through cartoons. Static originally … Continue reading →

Stormwatch #1

Posted on October 4, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

Stormwatch seems to be a reboot of the title The Authority. They’ve monkied around with it a little, throwing in the Martian Manhunter for some reason. I suppose they didn’t want the Martian Manhunter in the Justice League because he’s … Continue reading →
