Shenanigans & Tomfoolery

At midnight tonight, the entirety of the DC Universe will begin its relaunch of 52 titles starting at #1 along with day and date digital releases. It’s a bold initiative from DC that, while not completely bulletproof, deserves to be applauded. Living in New York has spoiled me a little but, now that I’m residing elsewhere, [...]

I’m compelled to write something about DC’s massive relaunch come September (for solicitations go here) and I debated how to tackle such a post. I contemplated writing a blurb about every single title but, with 52 books altogether, that’s a little more writing than I’m looking to do right now. I thought about handing out [...]

Sign me up! DC has released a couple of teasers for Flashpoint, their big crossover for 2011 , but, to be honest, there’s not much to go by yet. The above image is one such teaser and, much like the other five, it pertains to a specific member of the big seven in the Justice [...]

It deserves special mention because it’s a fantastic homage to Carmine Infantino’s classic “Flash of Two Worlds” cover from The Flash (vol. 1) #123. That is, however, not why I’ve decided to write about this particular issue. Earlier this year, [...]

We’ve reached the halfway mark in Blackest Night with issue #4 this week and I feel compelled to write about my general thoughts on the series thus far. I’ve only been actively following Blackest Night itself, Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps so I can’t comment on the tie-ins though I hear they are rather [...]
