Justice League International #1

Posted on September 29, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

Justice League International was a series once before, but what people remember is not what DC is doing with the series this time. The original series was funny, madcap, zany. It was written by Keith Giffen and managed some iconic … Continue reading →

Batgirl #1

Posted on September 27, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

Batgirl is one of the titles I was most looking forward to and most dreading. I loved Oracle, she was one of my favorite characters in any comics universe. She was different, powerful, effective and had a rich history. I … Continue reading →

Hawk & Dove #1

Posted on September 23, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

Hawk & Dove seems like a strange choice for their own title in the reboot.  I’d always considered them a strange relic of the 1960s, a reflection of America’s struggle with war and peace or aggression and pacifism. As time went … Continue reading →

Detective #1

Posted on September 21, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

Detective #1 is the other comic where the renumbering really bothers me. Action was the first, but this one is just as bad. I don’t like it when companies with long histories throw that history away so they can seem … Continue reading →

Green Arrow #1

Posted on September 15, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

Green Arrow is another of the comics where my first thought was “wow, this is a reboot!” They’ve sent GA back to his very beginnings, a wealthy gadget maker who decides to fight crime. I’m expecting future issues to show … Continue reading →

Animal Man #1

Posted on September 14, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

Animal Man doesn’t get to play hero the way the rest of the DC Universe does. In fact, his new series seems to begin decades after the rest of the reboot. While there are hints all over the other books … Continue reading →

Men of War #1

Posted on September 12, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

I’m not usually a big fan of war comics. I’ve read a ton of them, partly because I read every comic that my grandparents had in their used book store when I was a kid, but they aren’t something I … Continue reading →

Batwing #1

Posted on September 12, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

Wonderful, a black DC hero with his own comic. He’s not even American, he works in Sub-Saharan Africa, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I’m all in favor of diversity in comics and in looking at more of the … Continue reading →

Action #1

Posted on September 11, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

Now that’s a reboot. In the original Action comics, Superman was something of a bully and something of a jerk. He thought little of threatening criminals to coerce confessions and thought little of roughing them up to teach them a … Continue reading →

Justice League #1

Posted on September 9, 2011 by Sioban Krzywicki

Wow, what a disappointment for the first issue of the first comic in the reboot. Though the whole team is on the cover, only Batman, Green Lantern and Superman are in the issue, Superman in all of 2 panels. Wonder … Continue reading →
