Final Crisis
Retro Review: Final Crisis: Submit #1
I can’t believe I only did a quick blurb on this issue when it first came out! – BC First off, since this came out the same day as Final Crisis #4, rather than a month BEFORE Final Crisis #4, they really should have had something in the book saying “Read this before you read [...]
Retro Review: Final Crisis #4
I can’t believe I didn’t review this at the time – BC Final Crisis #4, the return from the break (designed to let it sink in that evil has “won”), shows us a world where evil may have won, but the remaining superheroes continue to soldier on! Hope is not gone yet, and we see [...]
Two Morrison Final Crisis Issues in One Day is Quite a Treat!
I really enjoyed seeing the two books together in the same week, as they played off each other beautifully. I’ve said in the past that Morrison seems to be writing Final Crisis as almost Written Pointillism – small distinct powerful scenes designed to create a much fuller overall effect. Well, with Final Crisis:Submit, we see [...]
It’s a Shame About J.G.

ANYhow, as you no doubt have heard screamed from various message boards (that is how angry some folks are, you can actually hear their rage through the internet), J.G. Jones, who already had another artist come in [...]
Superman Beyond #1 Review

Final Crisis #3 Review
The first part of Final Crisis comes to an end, and it does so in a most unconventional manner, as has been the case for the entirety of this series, really. Like the rest of this series, unconventional is tantamount to awesome, as this end of Act I is one of the most effectively foreboding [...]
Final Crisis #2 Review
This was a great follow-up to a great first issue, with one of the coolest endings that you’re gonna see in a superhero comic this year!
I’d Be Irked, Too…
Again, bear in mind that Countdown only finished last month so Final Crisis was already well underway long before Countdown and although I’ve tried to avoid contradicting much of the twists and turns of that book as I can with the current Final Crisis scripts, the truth is, we were too far down the road [...]
