At the conclusion of Brightest Day, Alec Holland rose from the grave and again became Swamp Thing. After fighting off his dark doppelganger, the Swamp Thing entity lashed out at transnational corporations responsible for the world's environmental concerns. John Constantine is next on its hitlist, but the question is, why? Constantine visits Gotham to meet with Batman and leaves town after gaining his opinion on combating Swamp Thing and the strange infection that's befallen the wily sorcerer.

Green Lantern #67 arrived in stores last week, and with its arrival, the War of the Green Lanterns epic also concluded. With this issue, volume four of the title ended. The only question is whether it ended on a low-note or a high one. Forward!

Issue three of Flashpoint sped onto shelves last week, and after an issue in which Barry Allen appeared badly injured, fans were left to wonder of his fate. Would this be the end of Barry Allen, or would he return in a flash?

As many of you know I am a big fan of digital comics. Or rather, I am a big fan of Marvel ‘s digital unlimited service. For a mere $60 per year I have unlimited access to over 8000 comic books (older than 6 months) and I can view as many as often as I wish. I view said comics books on...

By now you'll have seen the Green Lantern movie, and if you haven't, you probably won't at all. To supplement the film, DC opted to release five tie-in one-shots focusing on characters in the movie. Preceded by issues focusing on Tomar Re, Kilowog and Abin Sur, the fourth one-shot centres on Hal Jordan and is penned by Green Lantern guru and one of the film's writers in Greg Berlanti.

If you take a look at the latest copy of Marvel Previews you will see that a number of titles have a “Still #(issue number)”. Marvel seems to be goofing on DC for having all new #1 issues in September. This is actually pretty funny, but it comes off as hypocritical and mean...

As Brightest Day concluded, so did J.T. Krul's run on the title as of issue 12. Writer James Patrick joins Agustin Padilla as the new creative team behind Green Arrow, so let's see how this new team stacks up to the past year of Green Arrow stories.

For a year I followed the Brightest Day series through its ups and many downs, so you may be asking why I would revisit the series. Well, to answer your question, John Constantine. That dynamic alone warrants a return. Naturally. Forward march!

I love it when the industry gives us a news story that causes great debate. We have seen it before, of course, with the Death of Superman, the Clone Saga, and Quesada getting the EIC job; the list is endless. But we have never seen a company cancel the vast majority of its titles and start up...

So the DC Comic Solicits were released yesterday to a big underwhelming thud. It’s not that there weren’t any interesting ideas shown; see the wonderful solicit for Wonder Woman. It’s just I’m underwhelmed with a sense of not caring. I think my main problem is, for the...

Last week issue two of the Arkham City mini-series was released. The mini-series, serving as the bridge between the highly successful video game, Batman: Arkham Asylum and its sequel Arkham City, is five issues long and looks to elaborate on the story after the first game while setting up the conditions for the follow-up. Does the book measure up to the game, or is it just another video game-comic book tie in? Onward!

We're back again this week with the other major comic book crossover offering this summer, Flashpoint. This week Flashpoint and Fear Itself both saw releases so it only seemed fitting to look at them both. Here...we...GO!

While I really have no sentimental attachment to Barbara Gordon as Oracle, I've always felt that she was a powerful figure that represented the spirit of Gotham City the best. When faced with the worst that the city had to offer she rose above and became better than ever before.

Like you didn’t see this coming a mile a way. I’m writing this on Tuesday.  The day of the big DC announcement that they are rebooting the DC universe. 52 titles starting with a new Justice League #1 on August 31. And to this I say… eh. While I can appreciate the initiative...

Writer: Paul Cornell Artist: Kenneth Rocafort (p. 1-10, 18-20), Jesus Merino (p.11-17) Colours: Brad Anderson Letterer: Rob Leigh Cover: Kenneth Rocafort; Dan Jurgens and Andrew Dalhouse (variant) Publisher: DC comics   This week I’m looking at Action Comics #901, which is also...

I was looking at the Previews Catalogue and I got a chance to closely examine the rating systems for Marvel and DC. I support ratings systems because they allow the public to easily identify content in an entertainment medium. The public then has the choice of whether or not they wish to view...

Judd Winick. His name polarizes comic book readers it seems. Gracing everything from Green Lantern to Green Arrow, and up to and including Outsiders and Batman, the writer returns to the Batman universe for a three issue arc on Batman and Robin with a story centered on the character he brought back from the grave. Jason Todd returns in this issue, but just what is up his sleeve is anyone's guess. Onward ho!

Having stopped reading the Flash series some time ago, I wasn't sure what to expect from this first issue. I had read issue 12 for the necessary direct set-up to this mini-series to get an idea of where Johns had taken the Barry Allen Flash series and how that tied into Flashpoint.

Pete DeCourcy would have made a pretty good drug dealer. A year or two ago, it was Christmas time, I was in The Blue Beetle and I was looking for something new to try out. “Have you read Criminal yet?” “Well…no…” Pete looked at me like one looks at a sad...
