Justice League International #1
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

Hawk & Dove #1
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
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

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
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
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
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
