Batman: Earth One Arrives. And Delievers. [Q&A Review]
Well, it’s been quite the journey from DC announcing in 2009 the 2010 release of Batman: Earth One. Which turned into 2011, then 2012 when the book finally got an offical release date and hit shelves everywhere. Really, I bought the book. I’m looking at it as I type this right now.
Were doing something a little different this time; when I got the privilege to attend an advanced screening of The Avengers I did a spoiler-free Q&A review [plug], it was fun to write and it got some good feedback, so I’m trying it again but this time with the gloves off, full on review, spoilers a-plenty.

The Good But Not Great Fantastic Four: 1234 [A Look Back]
Grant Morrison and Jae Lee team up for a story pitting the Fantastic Four against their eternal nemesis Doctor Doom, who has now found a way to use reality itself as a weapon.
Considering how well-known Grant Morrison is, and how every one of his stories is endlessly discussed and referenced on the internet, it was shocking to find out about this little story from 2002 that no one ever talks about.
Then I read it, and found out why.

While most fans would think that Superman’s bloodiest moment came when he fought Doomsday, they’d be surprised to know that it came over 15 years earlier, and not to any robot, alien, or super-menace, but to a boxer; a non-superpowered, non-metahuman boxer, who arguably may just be the greatest of all time.

I’ve been waiting for Superman Earth One for awhile, and after reading story over a couple of times, I’m ready to have a fair go at it. For all of my fellow Superman fans a quick caveat: this is not your Superman. The Superman in this story may resemble him, and they have similar origins, but like Jay Garrick and Barry Allen, they’re vibrating at different frequencies.

It has been said to be the best selling graphic novel of all time. Superman, the all-powerful man of steel confronts a creature known only as Doomsday, a living engine of destruction whose only goal is the end of all life.

Double dipping. Within comic book reading & collecting it commonly refers to buying the original weekly comics of a series and then buying the collected edition. Comic books aren’t cheap so I try and avoid this habit as much as possible; however, when I was able to flip through the Batman RIP hardcover deluxe edition I simply had to have it, it was that beautiful.

Green Lantern: No Fear collects issues #1-6 of Green Lantern volume 4 and Green Lantern Secret Files and Origins #1. As the first storyline of volume 4, No Fear features Green Lantern Hal Jordan facing off with many of his classic villains, including The Manhunters (both old and new versions), Shark, Hector Hammond and Black Hand, along with an appearance by Sonar and the first appearance of the Kroloteans, who speak German, which is actually Krolotean and the Germans stole it. As the beginning of a new age for Green Lantern, these issues serve to advance the overall story while holding onto what made GL great in the past.
