JSA All-Stars #1 Review
by
DC, $3.99 Story: Matthew Sturges Art: Freddie Williams II, Richard Horie, Tanya Horie Matt Sturges and Bill Willingham’s recent ‘The Bad Seed’ arc in Justice Society of America, ended with the destruction of the Brownstone and the downcast team’s decision to split in two. Much like the JSA itself, the All-Stars line-up consists of both…

DC, $4.99 Story: Brian Azzarello Art: Phil Noto This one-off special is the first in Brian Azzerello’s First Wave imprint, a universe that harks back to the increasingly popular era of pulp heroes, such as Doc Savage, and an impulsive rookie Batman who isn’t afraid to pack a firearm.

The Great Ten #1 (of 10) Review
by
DC Jan 10, $2.99 Story: Tony Bedard Pencils: Scott McDaniel Inks: Andy Owens Colours: The Hories Of everything to have arisen from 52, the Great Ten (essentially China’s equivalent of the Justice League) were one of the most interesting additions to the DCU.

by
DC Story: Peter J. Tomasi Pencils: Ardian Syaf Inks: Vicente Cifuentes Colours: Nei Ruffino Of all the Blackest Night spin-offs, Batman’s was never going to be the most significant, but it had the potential to be the most personal.

Blackest Night: Green Lantern Corps #41 Review
by
DC Writer: Peter J. Tomasi Pencils: Patrick Gleason Inks: Rebecca Buchman, Tom Nguyen, Prentis Rollins Colours: Randy Mayor, Gabe Eltaeb While Blackest Night has been pretty consistent, the rise of almost every fallen hero into the ranks of the undead appears to be reaching its point of exhaustion. Whereas Sinestro was a fascinating villain, wily…
