Brightest Day #12 0
SummaryMartian Manhunter finally tracks down the deadly Martian “D’kay” (yep, she has a name now) and must fight with both her and himself in order to decide if wants to defeat this evil adversary, or join the only other Green Martian in existence.What I liked· It has lead to this: Martian Manhunter and D’kay finally meet! We have been waiting twelve issues for this. Now we finally get a payoff, with: An origin for D’kay, an awesome fight scene as well as incredible dialogue. It is really intere...

Brightest Day #11 0
SummaryThe previous issue continues directly into this issue. Can Aquaman protect Jackson from Black Manta? And who is Deathstorm and what does he have in store for Ronnie and Jason?What I liked· Jason and Ronnie pulling together: I am going to slate the rest of this Firestorm stuff in a moment, but the fact they’ve stopped fighting over really juvenile logic is a good thing to see. I might even say that I’m not hating the Firestorm stuff anymore, that’s a compliment right?· The Aquaman stuff: I...

Brightest Day #9 0
SummaryThis is primarily a Martian Manhunter story, with a few asides here and there. After seeing the vision of the burning forest, Martian Manhunter visits the Star City Forest in hope of answers. Upon Arrival, however, he gets more than he bargained for when his shape-shifting and psychic powers turn on him.What I liked· The Visions: The visions which the chosen-twelve had in Brightest Day #7 are actually mentioned in this issue. Brightest Day #8 gave little insight into what the characters a...

Brightest Day #8 0
SummaryThis is a Hawkman, Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter issue. Martian Manhunter explores Martian Girl’s mind to find out more about the elusive killer and Hawkman rallies a rescue attempt to save Hawkgirl from her captor.What I liked· The subplots: Brightest Day seems to be focusing on two sub-plots per issue. Both the Martian Manhunter and Hawkman/Hawkgirl stuff covers a lot of ground in this issue, with Martian Manhunter finally realising who, or what, the murderer is and with Hawkgirl disco...

Brightest Day #7 0
SummaryIt finally feels as if the “Brightest Day” part of Brightest Day has begun. All the subplots, within and outside of the core issues are tethered back in as we find out what the White Lantern wants his twelve “chosen” to do. Each player in this tale is given a mission, offering us an insight into what is to come. Oh... and Deadman eats a cheeseburger.What I liked· The event has begun: I am not impressed with the fact that we were left in the dark for so long, but we are finally given the d...

Brightest Day #6 0
SummaryMartian Manhunter continues to peruse the trail of murder, Jason and Ronnie realise they may not be the only ones connected to Firestorm and Deadman begins to learn the limitations of his new found powers. There is also a brief appearance of Aquaman which offers an explanation for last issues stark cliff-hanger.What I liked· Consistent pace: This issue is, pretty much, the opposite of the previous issue. We are given a huge helping of Manhunter and Firestorm but at the same time, th...

Brightest Day #4 0
SummaryThis issue picks up where the last one left off, Hawkman and Hawkgirl walk through the portal and find out what is on the other side. Meanwhile, Deadman continues to figure out the mystery behind the White Power Ring, but this time he has some help.What I liked· Hawk and Dove: I have grown to be a massive fan of Dove ever since reading her in Blackest Night: Titans, and although I do not like Hank Hall—I welcomed their debut in the main Brightest Day arc. In fact, this issue reminded me a...

SummaryWhile the White Power Ring takes Deadman to the Antimatter Universe, the other heroes try to understand their current situations. Aquaman trying to get to grips with his altered powers. Hawkman and Hawkgirl pursue Hath Set. Ronnie and Jason attempt to work out their differences and Martian Manhunter follows the lead from the last issue.What I liked· Story set-ups: You will see I didn’t like the fact that a lot didn’t happen in this issue. That said, most of the character’s stories end wit...

Brightest Day #2 0
SummaryRonnie and Jason try to separate themselves from the Firestorm-Matrix with the help of Atom, whilst Martian Manhunter seeks the truth behind his visions. Meanwhile, Hawkman and Hawkgirl discover who is after their bones and Deadman is put against one of the most powerful DC villains.What I liked· Firestorm: The characters I’ve liked least in Brightest Day so far are actually the ones I enjoyed most in this issue – Firestorm. Their narrative originally seemed like a bland and, for a want o...

Brightest Day #0 0
SummaryThe Blackest Night is over and a new day dawns. As the newly resurrected Deadman tries to adjust to mortal life; he is taken away by his white power ring to discover his greater purpose. This issue takes the form of a whistle-stop tour as Deadman is shown how the other eleven resurrected are fairing and it slowly becomes obvious that this “Brightest Day” will not be “bright” for very long.What I liked· A good beginning: This issue raises a lot of questions. In fact, it is pretty much a li...

Batman #5 0
SummaryAs Batman’s friends and family endlessly search for his whereabouts the man himself stumbles endlessly around a labyrinth beneath the City of Gotham. The Owls have Batman exactly where they want him, and this time – Batman may not be able to escape.What I likedBatman is getting beaten: I keep saying this over and over again, so I’ll keep it brief. Batman recently has been taken down a peg or two, making him a more believable character but more importantly, dispelling the Batman wins becau...

Catwoman #5 0
SummaryJudd Winick’s series of Catwoman maintains it breakneck pace as Selina, after last week’s encounter with the meta-human “Reach”, hurtles 50,000 feet (or thereabouts) towards solid ground. This month’s instalment also begins to tie the sub-story concerning the GCPD into our main narrative, which comes to a head at the end of the issue.What I liked· Selina is not perfect: If you have read some of my other reviews, you’ll know that I don’t like it when our protagonist is a living, breathing ...

SummaryIn the concluding issue of Green Lantern’s first New 52 story arc, ‘Sinestro’, Sinestro and Hal must bring peace to Korugar by liberating the planet from the Sinestro Corps. However, it’s not just the Sinestro Corps this duo has to worry about as Sinestro’s past atrocities finally are about to catch-up with him...What I likedThose moments: This issue has some of those moments you can only get from a Green Lantern story. From epic scale battles with colour bouncing all over the place, to a...

Batman and Robin #4 0
SummaryAfter the events of the previous issue, Batman and Robin have been captured by the illusive “Nobody”. In this issue, without giving much away, we see Nobody make Bruce and offer to join him, Bruce and Damian attempt a daring escape from capture and tensions running high between the father and son duo.What I likedBatman is not God: Before the New 52, Batman was becoming a ridiculous character.SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.He had gone mad, fallen out of a helicopter t...

Avengers Disassembled Part 5 0
SummaryIn this epilogue to the Chaos storyline (and in many ways, the Avengers series) all the surviving members of the current team, and a couple of others, meet to mourn those who have died and to disband the Avengers. As this is a final issue to an event, I will be talking about the series as a whole and there ***WILL BE SPOILERS*** - but I figure, if you’ve come this far, you will want to read this issue anyways no matter what reviewers have to say!What I likedGood Final Issue: Even though i...

Avengers Disassembled Part 4 0
SummaryThe culprit behind the mysterious disasters and their motive is revealed as The Avengers race to put an end to the madness. However, there is one problem: The villain is someone a lot closer to home than they expected...What I likedResolution: Continuity errors aside, this issue has resolve, and to me (someone who is quite ignorant about Avengers titles that pre-date Disassembled) had a pretty decent conclusion. However, this did, in no way, feel as dramatic as I think it should have. Bel...

Avengers Disassembled Part 3 0
SummaryAs every Avenger... ever... join forces to figure out who or what is behind these strings of attacks, they are faced with more catastrophes and even more tragedy. This issue is heavy on the action and draws close to finally having an explanation for this ‘day from hell’.What I likeDoctor Strange: This issue basically ends with Doctor Strange appearing and saying “hey, I’m going to tell you what has been going on”. THANK YOU! Not only is Doctor Strange going to be in the next issue, but he...

Avengers Disassembled Part 2 0
SummaryThe team is in disarray, some members are left dead and even more are critically wounded. This issue tones down the action to clarify what happened in the previous issue and possible reasons for why. With the beginnings of distrust and blame slowly creeping into the Avengers’ minds, is this team beyond repair?What I likedTrying to add some clarification: This entire issue is a massive debate about what the hell is actually happening?! It gives a couple of possible explanations, but you ge...

Avengers Disassembled Part 1 0
SummaryThe story which is set to shake the foundations of The Avengers, leaving the team never to be the same again, begins here. When a series of catastrophes results in casualties, disgrace and even death, it quickly becomes obvious that someone is gunning for the Marvel Universes’ greatest heroes. Who it is, and why is currently unclear, but one thing is obvious – this is personal.What I likedThat Bendis “Charm”: This is a Brian Michael Bendis series. So I probably don’t even need to say this...
