Quick & Simple Rating of Week 2 DC New 52 Comics (September)

My Quick & Simple Rating of DC "The New 52" Comics

Week Two of September 2011

Batman and Robin #1 - Excellent! Great storytelling and layout of the story. I love how Bruce and Damian's relationship and interactions are. An extra plus to mentioning Damian's time with Dick.

Deathstroke #1 - Very Good! Slade Wilson is still the way he should be, a badass skilled mercenary. This is an excellent starting point for new readers and brings interesting twists and turns that should unfold for even better stories to come. It's one of the few issues that feels self-contained while setting up a story arc. Good choice for the casual reader.

Green Lantern #1 - The story continues from the aftermath of the War of the Green Lanterns. Sinestro's a Green Lantern at odds with his Yellow Lantern army and Hal Jordan has no ring. This makes both foes extremely unhappy that they may actually work together to solve their hardships. Good read.

Mister Terrific #1 - Good! Yes, you read that right, I think it was a good comic. I'm new to Michael Holt, so I found no problems with how he was protrayed in the issue. It's great to see Karen Starr as well. Michael is the third smartest man in the world, so what if he's a billionaire superhero who likes the women and is able to be affected by a villain's attack? Try this issue!

Suicide Squad #1 - One of the most f'ed up sickest twisted DC comics you're gonna find. That almost completely sums up this entire series. It was good, but better if you're a horror lover. This series isn't for the faint of heart. I did enjoy Harley Quinn as herself and wished she was in a different series. #1 had a small flashback that relates to Detective Comics #1 and #2. This series isn't new reader friendly.

Resurrection Man #1 - Interesting and mysterious comic that gets our curiosity raised once we learn the overall plot of this story arc. What do all these factions want with Mitch, but more importantly of all, what are they? The comic for you to learn about the afterlifes that exist in the New DC Universe!

Quick & Simple Rating of Week 1 DC New 52 Comics (September)

My Quick & Simple Rating of DC "The New 52" Comics

Week One of September 2011

Justice League #1 - Very Good - Part 1, taking place 5 years before the present.

Action Comics #1 - Excellent, must buy - takes place sometime before Justice League #1. The way Superman stories should be told!

Animal Man #1 - WTF in a good way, must try if you like horror. Art isn't my style, but the story sells it.

Batgirl #1 - Good, but undecided. Waiting on next issue. Present day with flashbacks from three years.

Batwing #1 - Very Good, very solid story with depth and as an introduction. Batman makes an appearance which is great. Must read for Batman fans.

Detective Comics #1 - Very Good and sick, The Joker is back with 114 kills under his belt, Batman doesn't know how far the Joker will take the games to a new level. Must read for Joker fans.

Green Arrow #1 - Action-pack classic of what you expect from a superhero comic traditionally, but the characters don't draw me in too much. I'm undecided.

Justice League International #1 - OK, but a disappointment for me. It's a very very straight forward issue that feels like it's not actually apart of the relaunch in terms of writing and art quality. It almost feels like its from the 90's maybe. I'm gonna give the next issue a chance though.

Hawk and Dove #1 - Good Fun, less serious. Surprisingly reconnects itself with the old DCU with Hawk's brother and his death. Art could be better.

Men of War #1 - The way military stories should be told in the DC Universe, very good starring Joseph Rock, Sgt. Rock's grandson. Very good storytelling mixed with the existence of meta-humans makes it ideal. The backup story at the end of the comic, Navy Seals, Part 1, is not good at all. It's a very straight forward unappealing military story of some Navy Seals fighting in the Middle East.

O.M.A.C. #1 - Action-packed Fun, less serious. Newly chosen O.M.A.C. warrior.

Stormwatch #1 - Very Good - Part 1, Martian Manhunter revealed to be on both teams, Stormwatch and Justice League. Are the Stormwatch the first and original metahuman team protectors of Earth? We'll wait to find out.

Static Shock #1 - Not bad, but only for specific taste. Acknowledge and purpose to Hawkins moving from Dakota to NYC and having a new outfit, but not explained yet. Hawkins does talk way too much though.

Swamp Thing #1 - Alec Holland Returns and really wants nothing to do with Swamp Thing. Nice cameos of other DCU heroes. Interesting, but need to way for issue 2 to see how it goes.

If you have any questions in relation to the issues I have read, please feel free to ask me either as a private message or as comments on this blog. Thanks for reading!
