Winter Soldier. Issue Two. Comic Book Review!
DC Universe Online: Battle For The Earth Webcast Recap!
The Avatar of Tech Strikes Back!
On Thursday evening, DCU Online hosted a webcast designed to tease players (both new and long-term) about the content they could expect in the third DLC pack; the intriguingly titled “Battle For The Earth.”
While they were keen to keep spoilers to a minimum, some fascinating new material was unearthed. Namely that it’s the biggest DLC yet!
The first DLC (Fight For The Light) had a new power (Light),...
Wonder Woman. Issue 6. Comic Book Review!
Yeah…
Wonder Woman #6!
(Azzarello. Akins. Green!)
PREVIOUSLY: Wonder Woman has returned home to London… but leaving Paradise Island doesn’t mean leaving the gods behind, as two of the most powerful deities of the pantheon have come to town – and neither of them is leaving without being crowned King of the gods!
I can’t start this review off with anything other than a sigh.
When DC announced the reboot, I was hoping they’d...
Daredevil. Issue 9. Comic Book Review!
It’s the cane. Chicks dig the cane!
Daredevil #9!(Waid. Rivera. Rivera. Rodriguez!)
PREVIOUSLY: The second part of the Spider-Man and Daredevil team-up! Picking up where AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #677 left off, the next great love triangle of the Marvel Universe heats up!
Reading Daredevil is proving extremely hard when it comes to reviewing it. Why? Simple. It’s brilliant. Like absolutely brilliant. So good it makes my head hurt, so wonderfully...
Amazing Spider-Man. Issue 679.1. Comic Book Review!
Ol’ webhead!
Amazing Spider-Man 679.1!
(Slott. Yost. Palmer. Schwager.)
This issue marks a collaboration between Chris Yost and Dan Slott as co-writers of the title, allowing Dan Slott to begin work on the ‘next big event’ for Spider-Man. Normally events can drag, but the prospect of an issue every two weeks or so should make the pace rather interesting.
It also serves as a .1 issue, which, I guess, means that it’s designed...
Supergirl. Issue 6. Comic Book Review!
Krypto Blade!
Supergirl #6(Green. Johnson. Asrar!)
PREVIOUSLYSupergirl’s nightmare is finally over – she has left Earth and has somehow made it back to Argo City! But it’s not the home she remembers, and a deadly new adversary stands in her way.
The character of Supergirl has always had a difficult time. Both in terms of the stories and battles she faces, and the struggle writers/artists have of making her a teenager who skirts the...
DCU Online: Time To Take Down Brainiac!
Since DC Universe began unofficially (November 2010) and officially (January 2011), Brainiac has been the big bad of the game. He conquered a future version of Earth by capitalising on mis-trust amidst heroes and villains. Future Lex Luthor sent exobytes back in time to give normal people superpowers to form a super army to take Brainiac down and in the process he betrayed Future Batman.
Now, a year and change later, the heroes and villains are preparing...
Gotham City Impostors Review
“What-ya doing?”
“I’m the Dark Knight, protecting streets of Gotham.”
“Uh-huh”
“With the mantle of the Bat, I Strike fear into the Jokerz of Gotham!”
“M-hm so what are you doing wearing a cardboard ‘bat box’ on your head and using an Uzi?”
“Ahh, yeah about that…”
Gotham City Impostors is a very addictive, easy to play game, which sucks you into the DC Universe and keeps you hooked on comic value and determination...
Superboy. Issue 6. Comic Book Review!
House of El Kombat!
Superboy #6(Lobell. DeFalco. Silva. Lean!)
PREVIOUSLY: Superboy beat the Teen Titans to a pulp.
One of the positives, and negatives, of the DCNu reboot is that attention to continuity means smaller crossovers between titles that are tightly organised. The problem is that if you miss one of those issues, you’re coming into the end part of a story and thus aren’t really sure what exactly happened.
I didn’t read...
Green Lantern. Issue 6. Comic Book Review!
With this ring…
Green Lantern #6(Johns. Choi. Cipriano)
PREVIOUSLY… The first arc of the DCNu Green Lantern ended with Sinestro facing the people of Korugar and using all of his willpower to give them temporary rings so that they could fight off the Sinestro Corps. He then took back the ring that he’d given the expelled Hal Jordan, and left Hal back on Earth. Hal then FINALLY got together with Carol Ferris, and pledged to leave...
