"Green Lantern"

Red Lanterns #9 Review

The Red Lanterns make their stand…  And I’ve finally reached the end of my patience on this title.

Justice League #8 Review

Green Arrow tries his hand at gaining membership to the League, unaware of the devastation caused by the last hero the team let in. In the Shazam back-up, Billy Batson meets his new family as the wizard draws closer, all in Geoff Johns’ Justice League #8.

Red Lanterns #8 Review

The original Red Lanterns are out for blood! Will it mean the end of Atrocitus’ corps?

The New 52 From A Newbie’s [Kinda] Perspective: Part 3

Here is the third and final part of my reviews of the New 52. Let the high praise and/or carnage come to an end.

Justice League #7 Review

It’s just another day in the life of the Justice League as they battle an army of monsters while Steve Trevor, the team’s liaison with the government, makes sure they are allowed to do their job without interference. In the back-up feature, Billy Batson comes one step closer to possessing the powers of Shazam, in Justice League #7.

Red Lanterns #7 Review

Bleez believes she has taken control of the Red Lanterns while a brooding Atrocitus finds his original “children.”

Justice League #6 Review. By A 13-Year-Old.

My reviews of Justice League have suffered lately, mostly due to the fuss I’ve been making about the book feeling like it’s written intentionally for a much younger and new-to-comics audience. If this is the case I commend DC for targeting this much-needed demographic with their biggest title; however, due to this fact it’s quickly losing my own interest (maybe I’m turning into one of those “old man” comic fans). Either way it didn’t seem fair to review Justice League #6 if a) I wasn’t already enjoying it and b) it potentially wasn’t even targeted towards me.

So I decided to ‘put my money where my mouth was.’

I gave my 13-year-old friend Shane Longino all my issues, then provided him with Justice League #6. I asked him if he’d like to help me review this issue [and the whole series really] and Shane, who’s never read comics before, agreed to help me out. Outside of a brief discussion on what I was giving him we didn’t get into a lot of details until now.

So, from the new-to-comcis 13-year-old-reader (THE potential audience for this book)…

Red Lanterns #6 Review

Meet Rankorr, the first human to become a full fledged Red Lantern (sort of).

Justice League #5 Review

Darkseid captures Superman and Green Lantern grows a pair.

Justice League #4 Review

[Sorry for the delay, were still playing catchup from the holiday season.]

One of the biggest issues in the series so far and I’m left wondering if I even want to continue.

Red Lanterns #5 Review

Could we finally get some forward progress in story?  Is it too little too late or is there a silver lining here?

Red Lanterns #4 Review

Skallox, Ratchet, and Zilius…  Three more Red Lanterns we get to know a little bit more about – before we get much of a plot.
