Review: Green Lantern Corps #1

Writer: Peter J. Tomasi
Artist: Fernando Pasarin, Scott Hanna

It was disappointing that Peter J. Tomasi's run in "Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors" was just so-so considering his run on the previous "Green Lantern Corps" was a very fun read. He understood the GLC, giving each member their time to shine whenever possible, complete with interesting stories.

I actually liked Tony Bedard's run on "Green Lantern Corps" more than Tomasi's. But it's interesting to see Tomasi back on the title and see what his plans are now that Kyle Rayner is out of the book.

Review: Batman #1


Writer: Scott Snyder
Artist: Greg Capullo, Jonathan Glapion

Green Lantern titles are the only comic books I read in DC Comics. I get a few collected editions DC's big events from time to time. But when DC announced they will relaunch everything in their line-up, I thought it would be a perfect jumping on point to other titles.

I always wanted to get into Batman, as he's probably the only other superhero I care about in the DC Universe. And with this "New 52" relaunch, I'm sure glad I picked this title up.

Review: Green Lantern #1

Writer: Geoff Johns
Artist: Doug Mahnke

Based from the past interviews and statements from DC, only the Batman and Green Lantern books are left unchanged in "The New 52." As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

This first issue is a direct continuation of Johns' recent "Green Lantern" run. The status quo is all the same. It really feels like it should have been "Green Lantern" #68, but instead we get a #1 issue with a fresh start from all the chaotic madness from the recent stories.

In this trailer, we see Rufus (so I guess he's confirmed) fighting against another big-bodied character, Bob. We also see a previously revealed character, Zangief, here. Lastly, a Tekken character is teased at the end of the video.

Justice League #1

Writer: Geoff Johns
Artist: Jim Lee, Scott Williams

Well, it's finally here. The first title to debut from DC's much talked-about line-wide relaunch is now here with Justice League #1. And since it's out, it has gained a lot of attention. I have friends talking about it, wanting to reserve a copy in the local comic book store. Was it able to live up to the hype? Will new readers want this? Is it a good introduction into the new world of DCU?
