Off-Topic: Comic Book Reviews

Zenescope's WONDERLAND: DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE #4

The repetitive storytelling is getting old here. It feels like the best ideas are being used up on the ongoing series. BUT the dialogue in this book is strong, and the art in this issue is incredible. The dialogue keeps me interested and the art keeps me coming back for more.

Marvel's INFINITY #2

Not as great as the first issue, this is still a great comic book. The book jumps around too much, which messes up the pacing. The individual 'scenes' are more than compelling. There is a grand mythos here, but it is hard to fully latch onto. The ending is incredible. Check this series out.

DC's FOREVER EVIL #5

This kicks off one of the biggest events in the DC universe since the NEW 52 began. A continuation of the events found in TRINITY OF SIN, this story was a bit upsetting to me. Don't get me wrong, it is riveting, but upsetting. Some of the dialogue is incredible as well. I love the development of Lex Luthor's character. Check this book out today!

DC's JUSTICE LEAGUE #23.1/DARKSEID #1

A part of DC's "Villain's Month", this book tells the NEW 52 origin of Darkseid. The story is incredible. Though it feels a bit rushed. Some of these origin stories need more than one issue, DC. Darkseid being a prime example.

DC's DC VS MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE #1

I love the idea behind this book. One of the DC Universe's clashes with the world of He-Man...whattup? But the execution is far from perfect. The story is hard to follow, and the bouncing between worlds throws the pacing off. Some of the dialogue is awesome, and this book has potential. I will. Be giving it a chance.

Dynamite's ARMY OF DARKNESS VS HACK/SLASH #2

This is the best single ARMY OF DARKNESS comic book issue I've ever read. I love this book. The dialogue is fun, exciting, and engaging. This book really brings the character of Ash to life. I highly recommend it.
