Off-Topic: Comic Book Reviews

DC's "Justice League: Dark" #23
The Trinity War continues and man it continues to deliver. The storytelling is still a bit too frenetic and this messes up the pacing a bit. Everything feels a bit rushed. Still, the story is riveting and the art amazing. All in all, a great book.
Art: 4.5 Stars
Dialogue: 4 Stars
Pacing: 2.5 Stars
Storyline: 4.5 Stars
Overall: 4 Stars

DC's "Trinity of Sin: Pandora" #3
This is a bit better than came before, but this comic still feels like it is missing something, but I can't quite put my finger on it. The individual parts are all there, but they just don't come together as they should.
Art: 4 Stars
Dialogue: 4 Stars
Pacing: 4 Stars
Storyline: 4 Stars
Overall: 3 Stars

DC's "Green Lantern: The New Guardians" #23
This book is not exactly a pick me up. The storyline is better than what has come before but not nearly as good as the first dozen issued were. The pacing is way off, but the Blue Lantern subplot saves the book, big time. 
Art: 4 Stars
Dialogue: 3.5 Stars
Pacing: 2 Stars
Storyline: 4.5 Stars
Overall: 4 Stars

DC's "Superman: Unchained" #3
WOW, what a book. The coloring and the art is unbelievable. The story is nothing new, but some of the thematic elements are original and very engaging. I am simply blown away by this book. It is one of the best SUPERMAN books I've ever read.
Art: 5 Stars
Dialogue: 4.5 Stars
Pacing: 4.5 Stars
Storyline: 4 Stars
Overall: 5 Stars

Zenescope's OZ #2
The first issue was not very good, and I was disappointed. But right in issue two they completely turn it around! I can't believe how well they turned it around. The pacing in this book is fantastic.
Art: 4.5 Stars
Dialogue: 4.5 Stars
Pacing: 5 Stars
Storyline: 4.5 Stars
Overall: 4.5 Stars
